@TremulousTender This is a serious matter and not the time to be smug. She can't think about her usual sensivities right now.
She quickly moves out of his way. "Do not turn too big, or I will have to hide from you", she says, because that is clearly how the hiding-from-men-rule works.
@TremulousTender "Open the door", she says quickly, not even having to think about it. Being flown about is not an option.
"You will have to hold my hand outside", she announces. She is not usually one for physical touch, but in this case it seems unpreventable.
@TremulousTender Berti isn't sure why it's so important to Morel, but she will honour the button he gave up for this. Maybe she will use it for a cloak.
She nods. "Okay, I am ready. You can lead the way."
@TremulousTender "No, I don't want to", she says taking her head. Physical touch is not for her if it can be avoided.
"We must go now, before I change my mind."
@TremulousTender Berti takes some time to consider this. It's not that she doubts Morel's capabilities or his sincerity. It's just that century old habits are hard to break.
"I believe you", she finally says. "But it can only be a small walk and you can not leave my side."
@TremulousTender "Bugs!", she exclaims, turning pale. How can Morel be so casual about these horrors?
"I am not one of your people. I don't have wings, I can not fly away when the beasts attack me."
@TremulousTender She doesn't take the button, not ready to seal the deal just yet.
"I have been living for many decades", she says, stating the facts. Then she gasps. "A garden? There are animals in gardens!"
@TremulousTender "Morel!"
She stares at the button and gasps. She knows how important his collection is to him, just as important as her work is for her. This must be urgent for him.
"Out? But... I never leave the house."
Berti didn't mind working with the regular sized tools. She's very strong and has decades of practice. Having her own things still feels a little weird, but nice.
"Chocolate and blueberry", she agrees with a firm nod.
"You got it, Chief. I got all your sized cleaning materials right there." Hope points to a tiny, Berti-sized closet she built right into the cabinets. It's giving cartoon mouse hole, but its loaded with everything she usually uses to clean up after things. +
@BloodyDapper https://t.co/WAgVci4Q77 I just imagined Berti living in Jerry's home. She'd be very stressed because she always works at night, but he'd be also up at night xD
