@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " . . . Yes, it is true. And do not worry, I am not with the- "Surgeons". Whoever they are. "
[ They felt a need to express that... After all, their friend was worried about that fact before they met. ]
" I am guessing they are not. . good bugs, from what I had heard. "
〖 OPEN INT. LOCATION; BELLHART 〗
[ A being sat upon the bench in the main part of Bellhart, looking down at the bells that littered the ground. Their long-pin was leaning on the bench itself, to not harm anybug. ]
[ They seemed.. Slightly confused, the best way to put it. ]
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R [ They were quiet for a moment, formulating their thoughts. ]
" I am from the Citadel. From the Cradle above. "
[ It was a truthful answer, though said with a bit of tension. The paws on their lap began to grip the silk of their dress. They could not rip it, though. ]
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " Surviving is good, but living is always better. . "
[ They were quiet afterwards, still not knowing what to talk about. The other bug who approached them spoke a lot.. A good thing for them. ]
" So. Uh. "
[ ...Very good conversation, truly. ]
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " I see. I am very sorry to hear. "
[ Truly, they did seem sorry- in a way. ]
" That must have been really hard. "
[ .. Moire still was a bit awkward- they did not have much to talk about.... And really- they did not know much, either. ]
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " How interesting, that is. . "
[ They seemed fascinated now- but their scent.. That was odd. Like the silk from whiteward, yes- but cleaner. No scent of death or burnt flesh. ]
" Can you tell me more ? About the Skarr Tribe. "
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " . . Medical reasons ? I see, then. "
[ They said the first sentence with a sense of confusion, but then again- maybe that's just how they spoke. ]
" . . . . What kind of bug are you ? "
[ Moire- was that even an appropriate question? ]
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " I see. "
" I uh, came here. With a friend. I do not know where she is, currently. "
[ They simply stared as Harbor sat down.. She was definitely tall, and honestly they had no idea what kind of bug she was. ]
" What brings you to bellhart? "
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " I am sure it would. Many bugs have sat beside me before- some heavier and some lighter. "
[ It was true- and though the beastmaster had a scary appearance.. Moire did not seem scared. Why would they? ]
[ They saw worse before. ]
[ They stopped as well, just staring at the small bug. ]
" I haven't seen you around here uh- either. What is your name ? "
[ Moire crouched down to their level- using their weapon as support. They seemed.. a little tense, fairly. ]
[-She stopped for a second, turning around,
Still humming that quiet, calm tune, smiling-]
"Hello fair traveler, I don't believe I've seen you around here,"
@He4dmast3rrr " Thank you very much, Sir. I have been through much training. . "
[ They seemed to freeze at the pat- certainly not expecting that. They looked up at him. Why did he do that? ]
〖 OPEN INT. LOCATION; CITADEL 〗
[ A being walked through the halls of the choral chambers, footsteps silent. ]
[ Only the sound of a long pin scraping across the floor could be heard. For defense, it was. ]
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R " . . Are you going to stand around ? "
[ Moire questioned, after all- the other bug they met sat down. Maybe Harbor could sit down on the ground. ]
" I am supposing you are here to talk, as well. "
[ A fair assumption, to them anyways- even if they were.. not talkative. ]
@He4dmast3rrr " I am fine, I just had not expected that Sir. "
[ Moire listened closely as he explained, then proceeded to take his hand and stand up. ]
" Quite the skilled fighter you are, indeed. . Even through my smoke. "
@TH3_B34STM4ST3R [ An empty stare was given, before they spoke. ]
" I do not feel stressed. "
[ Very quietly, they shifted their body more towards the edge of the bench- giving Harbor a place to sit. Second bug who had talk to them, that day. ]
[ Not that they minded. ]
@He4dmast3rrr " AH ??- "
[ They let out a yelp, before going hard to the ground. That was CERTAINLY not what they expected. ]
" WHAT WAS THAT ?? "
[ Very good question Moire. They sat up- still. Shocked. ]
@mirelthegrey " . . I think. . "
" I'm happy, too. "
[ Gently, Moire held them- in case she fell asleep, so she didn't have to fall onto the ground. ]
[ They were happy right now. Truly happy. ]
@He4dmast3rrr [ With him distracted, the silken being used their pin to get into the air- delivering an aerial punch. Something more light than whatever they were doing before. ]
[ The man did have one eye... And they were in pristine condition. ]
@mirelthegrey " I would say I'm sure. "
" Then, both of us would be happy. . "
[ They froze as she did that, but.. It felt nice. Real. More real than anything they've experienced in the past. ]
