@Viridian_Leaf ( nodding along once more! the theory was simple, so it shouldn't be hard to put into practice. )
hmm? are you kidding? I got to stretch my legs, enjoy my favorite berry, and help out a kind stranger! I'd say today was an absolute success!
( ... seems she has low expectations.)
you would be correct. at this point, I'm not even sure if /I/ remember where I'm from, originally.
( a hum... before shaking her head. no need to dwell on such a subject. )
I am simply a nameless wanderer, surely not of importance to a forest guardian.
( She doesn't mind the change, simply offering them a gentle nod as they speak. )
There's no need for apologies, I simply have to watch out as the caretaker of this forest.
You don't seem to be from around here..
eh? I have to get a drink, too?
( scrambling to look at the menu once again... before sighing. )
just some herbal tea would be fine... I don't need anything fancy.
(She was trying to have a simple afternoon lunch and now has to deal with a homeless and broke Pokémon.)
And your drink? I assume soda then or an ice cream float for an icy treat.
(She ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich along with fruit lemonade.)
@Viridian_Leaf of course, that means you shouldn't hesitate to put me to work! hope I displayed that properly.
( a little giggle to go along with her grin. )
@Viridian_Leaf ( nodding along with them, she raised an arm in a relaxed flex. )
you can count on me! I can also help with basic construction like putting pieces together. as long as I have instructions, I can do most work.
( a unique sort of charm, happy to be of service. )
&&
( ... jeez, and people say she's cranky. another sigh, looking back down at the menu before pointing out a rather plain looking sandwich. )
then I'll have this, and accept your generosity.
(Slowly pulling the menu down that obscured her view of the other with such a face of pure doneness.)
Just order and I will pay for it or I can grant you your stance as a statue forever, frozen in time and still conscious.
@Viridian_Leaf hm? it was nothing really, I just figured this could help give a headstart to your building. it's the little things that mean a lot.
( working together with Zalia, the sorting would take less time and was more efficient. soon finished, she dusted her hands with a pleased sigh. )
what if markiplier got lightning powers but instead of using them he just kept playing games but every video was like 3-5 minutes cause the first jumpscare caused him to fry his computer
@Viridian_Leaf ( holding the blade steady... before a flash was made, and she sheathes the blade back to her hip. leaning down, she slowly begins sorting the newly made planks of wood by size. )
simple cuts, really. I tried to make an even amount of each, to accommodate whatever build you like
( handed the item, she looks it over for a moment. trying her best not to drool over the array of foods... )
th-the point still stands that I simply cannot pay for it! no matter what, I simply cannot just loiter!
Food, drinks, snacks even… And people call me old.
(She handed her a menu for the cafe before pulling out one of her own.)
A sandwich would be enough to allow you to sit here.
( with an unwavering resolve, her eyes opened with a startling quickness as she flash-froze the other's fingertips. )
I do believe that's quite enough. you'd only shorten your own life fighting against a spirit.
(That intense gaze turning into a half-scowl, as the other continues.)
I said...
(Hand moving down, to rest atop the hilt of the sheathed blade at her side.)
𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵. 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦.
I do not need to. the trials of modern day man pale in comparison to the era from which I hail.... ehem. but that's another story. I shall withhold any further such words.
( a low huff, turning her head away with a shy look. )
(A drag of her cigarette interrupted halfway through, upon hearing some of those words.. Looking up at her, brow furrowed.)
...I won't pretend to know exactly what you've gone through. So let's not assume to know what /I/ have or haven't seen, and done.
(Finishing that drag...)
( another low hum, as she seemed to watch them in what they did after... for one, she had never seen such a contraption, and for another... well, that's not important. )
don't give up, hm? easy for someone like you to say. but I suppose if anything's worth doing, do it right.
Unfortunately, I can’t make that determination for you.
(Once the temperature was stable again, she’d reach into her coat pocket… Pulling out a cigarette case, lighting one, and pressing it to her lips.)
Wouldn’t give up on it, though.
( a low hum... before taking a slow inhalation of air. slowly, the temperature rises back to a temperate level. )
I will... consider it, I suppose. not that there are many here who seem like they could handle sharing in one's troubles.
(A little chill running across her skin- Goosebumps forming. A thicker fog coming out of her mouth as she breathes...)
...Right, just consider what I say, or you'll manage to burn yourself in that icy-cage of yours.
I guess? I never much paid attention to the sort before, but recently I've been a bit more health and wellness conscious...
though, I wish I could eat sweets every now and then, too....
