Yeah?

[Grinning!]

You like it?

[applechemist]

[ she's just!! holding it in her cupped hands aaaaaa ]

I love it! I totally understand collecting, now!

[ruffboi]

Yeah! They're fun! Nothing special, but I like making cute little guys like that. . .

[Scratching his neck, clearly pleased she likes it.]

[applechemist]

It's not nothing special, this is great!

Ehehe. The only thing that could make this better is if it summoned a real one. Then we could do all sorts of fun construction around here.

[ruffboi]

Oh! They do construction?

[applechemist]

Yes, we think that was their initial purpose.

[ruffboi]

Perfect animal for a carpenter like me!

[Grinning, but. Uh.]

Anyway, I, uh - I wanted to see how you're doing?

[applechemist]

Ah... I'm doing alright.

I think I expected things to be worse than they actually were... A lot of people have still been talking to me like normal.

[ruffboi]

That's good. Nobody's been giving you any trouble?

[applechemist]

No trouble at all.

[ruffboi]

Cool. Uh. Taako said he offered that we could stay with you at curfew? We could do that, if you want. Just in case.

[applechemist]

I would appreciate it. I haven't decided on where to stay, but I'd like it if I could be sure I have an alibi this time... Just in case.

[ruffboi]

You got it! Stick with us - we're pretty tough.

[Grinning at her.]

Also. . . I know you know Taako's shit, so you should probably know mine. Even if you've used up your two this week. I'm on Winter's team.

[applechemist]

[ She smiles back, thoroughly encouraged, but it turns hesitant... ]

I... Thank you. I'm sorry. I feel like I'm already risking it with how many people I've told...

[ruffboi]

You're okay! Tell me next week, deal? Taako knows, anyway, he just can't tell me without fucking stuff up for you.

[He basically expected it already.]

[applechemist]

... Okay. Next week - I promise.

[ruffboi]

[Nods. Better not be dead next week.]

Good. Just - just want you to know that you can trust me! You're friends with Taako, so you're a friend in my book, too.

[applechemist]

I feel the same way. [ The Taako common denominator... ] It's nice to know that he has such a good friend.
