WHAT IN PERSON, YA FOOLS
WHERE anywhere
WHEN Day 8, evening

[ it's beginning to be summer -- or something like that, sort of. late spring? the weather has been warming up is the point and in the twilight of, well, now, the fireflies have also come out.

twinkling little stars that are actually bugs. Rather, slightly larger than the normal firefly -- in fact, perhaps they seem more like will o' the wisp sized.

But still, a lovely summer. If you follow one they may lead you (crashing into) the path of someone else.

Or the lake.

Definitely also the lake. ]

[ whatever gentle maneuvering it takes to turn it into a proper hand hold is gonna happen, then. ]

Yes, yes. Please take care of me~

[ she smiles and gives his hand a squeeze, because she knows what he's getting at. He's such a good boy. ]

Don't put too much on it.

[ muttered, but he doesn't pull his hand back

yet. ]

[ she'll maintain whatever level the hand holding is at, enjoying it for as long as he'll let her ]

I've been staying nearby. So there's food if you want some.

[ even if isn't necessarily needed, she personally likes that feeling of normalcy. But she's also quick to offer: ]

I'll make coffee.

No sugar.

Of course~

[ she points to the apartment complex ]

We're going that way.

[ this way he can lead if he likes ]

Tch. Everyone lives there.

[ HE IS SO GONNA LEAD!1 who's the boss here huh!!! ]

[ HE IS~~~~~ what a good, strong, tough leader~~ ]

Yfandes lives on the farm, but she's a horse, so that makes sense.

. . . a horse.

She can transmit her voice directly to your head. She's nice to talk to.

[ she's totally fine with this ]

[ . . . ]

Is it tricking you?

We're friends. Why would she do that?

... sis, you're friends with a horse?

A magic horse. It isn't any stranger than being friends with Vyrn, right?

Who's friends with that?

[ and a bit more dejectedly ]

That doesn't talk in your head.

[ she'll interpret that shift in tone as a sign he's missing the lizard and the Grandcypher crew. She nods in sympathy ]

All of us had a lot of fun together.

They're not here. No use thinking about it.

Ah. Right.

[ If he hadn't said that, she'd start feeling a little down about it, but now is not the time for that. She grips his hand a little tighter for a second, like she's checking if he's really here. ]

So don't freak out or whatever.

Okay!

[ Mood lift achieved. let's do the apartment ~~lift~~ Elevator too ]

Edited 2017-06-13 00:37 (UTC)

You're too easily pleased.

[ huhuhu ]

Sorry.

[ The elevator door opens to her apartment (hopefully) ]

People will take advantage.

Now, now; everyone I've met has been very nice. I don't think they'd do that.

[ "Nice" is a subjective term, probably. At least it's a sign no one has been blatantly hostile yet.

She'll start rummaging in the cupboard for coffee, a filter and a mug ]

Feel free to sit wherever you like.

They're probably tricking you.

[ he mills about a little aimlessly before finding a spot on the wall

To lean against ]

[ She watches him from the corner of her eyes as she gets the kettle on, turning to look at him before she asks: ]

Why would they do that? If they need money or food, I'm fine with sharing what I have. The spiritually sensitive people I've met don't have any interest in me, so I don't think they'd try to use me in that sense.

[ Those are the big two that worry her, anyway. While she's given it some thought, other reasons she could be targeted or motives for deceiving her just don't come to mind. It's hard to think that people could be anything but inherently good. ]
