Ah, r-right, hanging out...

[ ... H. How does one. Hang out. Shoot. Uh. She should have given this more thought. Quick, what do friends do??? ]

Ummm. You... you can ask me anything you want.

[jugglery]

[??????????]

Hmmm! I told you about my world, so what's your world like?

[blood_and_thunder]

[ Okay, what details can she give that aren't insanely depressing? ]

... I serve the kingdom of Ylisse, which is ruled by Lord Chrom. He also leads the Shepherds - sort of like a personal army. It is our duty not only to protect the kingdom, but to those who are being oppressed and harmed by darker forces. I have allies here from my world... Inigo is Lord Chrom's son, and Owain is Lord Chrom's nephew.

[jugglery]

[lots of names he does not care about. but he looks like he's trying to keep everything straight]

Hang on, back up. Did you say he calls his personal army... The Shepherds?

[blood_and_thunder]

Oh, yes. Because he sees his people as his flock... and as a good shepherd watches and protects their lambs so they won't know harm and suffering, so do we to the people of Ylisse and any who need our help.

[jugglery]

[oh. oh dear. Shadow Milk looks annoyed as he thinks this guy and Pure Vanilla would have a lot in common]

...I'll bet it doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.

[blood_and_thunder]

[ Well he does have a very close relationship whose "other half" turns into his enemy, so, maybe! ]

Possibly... but then, that can be an advantage, if it lets down their guard. I'm proud to be following him. He believes in second chances and proving yourself.

[jugglery]

[he taps his chin in thought. pretending to be a cute sheep in order to fool his foes. yeah, sounds pretty sneaky! but then, Shadow Milk would know all about that]

I suppose I can see the appeal! You said you were an archer, right? Is that your weapon of choice?

[blood_and_thunder]

Yes. It's one of the few things I'm actually good at... I'm not strong enough to wield other kinds of weapons, and I don't have a talent for magic. But I rarely miss my mark when I have a bow and arrow.

[jugglery]

Interesting. Though, I'd say you were good at more things, like baking.

[he hasn't even tried the sweets yet, but he can tell!]

And you sound pretty loyal, too!

[blood_and_thunder]

[ Aw shucks. She blushes just a bit. ]

Oh, um, thank you. I just do my best... that's all anyone can do. I'm glad this realm and this village had such welcoming people like you.

[jugglery]

[how is he so welcoming??]

Yeah, well, I've found most of the other people here are. Agreeable, I guess. Foolish, really. To blindly trust others so easily. But no one's told me any lies, so, I suppose I'm. Oh, what's the word? Grateful?

[blood_and_thunder]

[ Wait what was that part about foolish people trusting others blindly???

She blinks a bit, surprised. ]

... Is... everything all right, Shadow Milk?

[jugglery]

[is everything alright? with him? probably not!]

Hm?!

[blood_and_thunder]

It's just... it sounded like you had something upsetting happen to you, and I wanted to apologize for making you think of it.

[jugglery]

Oh! Pff! A lot of upsetting things have happened to me. Not your fault!

[he plucks up the basket to start looking inside it. hee! maybe he won't share the goodies with Pure Vanilla]

If you go around apologizing for every little thing, you'll feel guilty all the time. Don't do that. Human lives are too short!

[blood_and_thunder]

Ah...?

[ She was about to apologize for apologizing, but that seems counter-productive. ]

Oh, um, okay... should I make you some tea, at least? Sometimes sweets can leave you feeling a little thirsty. I would recommend the tart first... it's full of sweet berries.

[jugglery]

[he blinks in surprise. she wants to make him tea, in his own home?]

It's okay! I'm just looking right now.

[he grins]

But if you want tea, we can have some.
