[F8-PP] Whatchu talkin' bout Weasel? (Feeding the Enemy) Yui's Grace #2

[Shiina 0]

Skipping through the town of Florenthia, in english style architecture akin to that of London. Shiina was making the most of her day, to the worry of the NPC's she was causing unneeded hassle for. The most troublesome player they had ever encountered. She had already visited a few stalls, knocked over a multi-sectional suit of plate armor and knocked the wheel from a cart full of fruit. It was an honest accident, she'd just wanted to see how supportive it was. How would she know it would tip over when she hopped into it? Having been chased to the other side of town, she mosied out into the main body of the floor. She was smart enough to know that maybe she'd let things blow over for a bit, before she'd seek out more fun things to do. Traveling alongside a body of water that seemed to go forever into the horizon, maybe it would have something for the girl to do?

Shiina consumes Yui's Grace #2 [2/2], Lemon Berry Palmiers (+3 LD), Pheromone (+1 CD when Taming a Familiar), Familiar Sight (+2 LD when Searching for Familiar), Spyglass Charge ([1/3 Remaining] -5 Post Requirement to Search for Familiar/Dungeon)

Another day out and about, this one with his familiar at his side in its tiny brown frame. Boris was scampering at his heels, despite his size keeping up rather well. Gaius finds a rather recognizable face along the edge of the river, that of little Shiina troughing along without a care. "Hey, short stuff what you doin' out here?" Gaius barks toward the girl, interested in what she may be on floor 6 for. She turns to him and offers a shrug, the typhoon's brow raises. "Well, I get that. Guess we just wander around together? Never know, maybe I'll bring you to something cool." he remarks to the tiny songstress, respecting her wanderlust. He felt rather estranged in nothing more than a duo with the girl, only really interacting with her at a party this was the first time he was alone with her. After that last time, maybe he'd be a bit politer.

Spinning around on the balls of her heels she'd look to see who was calling her. It was Gaius, the jerk of Second lessons. "What is you doin' here dude?" she would ask of him in tandem. He was the last person she would have thought that she would have seen today. With a shrug and a shared question, Shiina begins to trail off before Gaius would offer to take her to somewhere fun. "K~" she responds with a short and instant change of heart, targeting the player and inviting him to group up. With it sent to the other member of the guild, she'd take in her surroundings with an audial queue flowing from her lips. It was bright still, and the trickle of the river beside them seemed tranquil. It was as if the world was a painting, to pristine for humans to touch it. For how long, remained to be seen.

With a nod as the party build invite flashes to his screen, he'd offer Shiina a grin. As he taps it, her health bar appears directly below his own. "Come on then, let's go find something worth looking at." Gaius would respond heading past the girl, Boris right in tow, and keeping pace with the typhoon. Into the denser section of the forest, Gaius kept an eye to Shiina as to not leave her two far behind him. As she trekked behind him, he found a small bunch of apples hanging from one of the many trees in a lime green color. Gaius uses a quick swipe of the same shade, plucking the apple from the air as it fell. "Check that out, apples." he would look to her with a smile. They seemed to be the green strain which tended to be a bit sourer but when cooked were all the more sweeter.

Her eyes attach to the tiny bear as it scampers past, her eyes widen at its presence. It was like a living breathing teddy bear, and she couldn't help but begin to hunch over as she trailed behind them both. The minute Gaius turns to look at the girl she would straighten up, like a general calling her name rather stiffly with a jerk. "I wasn't doin'...Apples?" she looks to the tree above her, and sure enough in a sea of them were a bunch of green boi's on the limbs. "Apples though?" she asked rather inquisitively with a brow raised at Gaius, this would hardly be considered interesting at all. One of its own volition falls and bounces off her silver armor, to which she leans down and picks it up. It looked alright, no wormie holes and it wasn't squishy but she wanted more excitement then green apples.

Gaius offers her a grin as he plucks the apple from her grasp, adding it with his own. "Yeah apples, you have any idea how many things you can make with apples?" he for the first time was rather affirmed of himself as a chef. He felt as though he was starting to trail off like Raidou had, instantly breaking out of that listing like trance. "But anyway, I can cook a ton with them. They are pretty plain like this, but have a world of possibility." Gaius could taste the philosophy tone of his voice, and he hated it. "Forget it, what would you like to look for?" he would ask as his stare would travel away from Shiina and back into the tree's while he'd wait for an answer. With one quick swipe of his polearm, another apple falls down, exploiting the weapons reach to make this leagues easier than his last attempts.

As Gaius was stuck on his apples, he had asked her a question she'd have no idea how to answer and her face would show it with a list toward the light blue sky that hung above them. Suddenly she'd bark out "I Dunno mein, you were supposed to know." looking to him as he palmed another piece of fruit. Shiina was just kind of in it for the ride, looking down to little Boris she would kneel and fan her hands toward her. Boris takes a few slow steps before they pick up pace, she pats the tiny bear before it evolves into scratches. A flop of one of its hind legs as she works him vigorously with tiny coo's. With her off hand she'd pick up another piece of fruit and offer it to the tiny brown grizzly who gladly accepts it. "We can just do whatever, I got to kill some time so the townfolk don't eat me." she remarks to the other of their little group.

With his eyes still latched upward into the branches, the sounds of his bear growling cause him to stare down out of his peripheral noticing it was due to Shiina. "The townsfolk? what make them be pissed at you?" Gaius asked of her, trying to get the sense of the gravity of trouble she was seeking shelter from. This did not draw his attention downward, for he was eager to bag a number of these as despite first impressions a standard apple was actually difficult to come upon. With another stroke of his weapon, he misses and grimaces. "Piece of s***" he mutters rather aggressively, as to not interrupt the answer from Shiina for he was rather interested in what it might be. A spin of his polearm in his grip, becoming lit green with his ire it was clear he wasn't just going to take that from a piece of dangling fruit.

With Gaius's interest shown with his question, Shiina thought she'd give him a rundown. "Well let's see: I broke a food cart, knocked over a suit of armor with a big sword. I also set a bridge on fire with an unlit lantern. I wrote somethings in some books in the library. Oh, and I painted that statue..." Shiina continued to account for the course of her day, and the list seemed to grow more and more by the moment. While she was offering her account, she continued to fiddle with Boris finding him so snuggly and loveable. He seemed to be enjoying her scratches, now belly up with his tongue sticking out in bliss. "Dude I love this bear." she mutters rather abruptly cutting her prior droll of information short. Gaius seemed to be listening rather intently though, which she was hardly convinced he would. Did he really care all that much about what she did?

He was focused on his own affairs as Shiina was wholeheartedly drawn to his familiar. "Yeah he's pretty chill isn't he." he would look over his shoulder with a grin toward the girl. "His name is Boris, maybe that's it. Let's see if we can't get you one of him if you are up for it?" Gaius would respond to the girl as perhaps it would light a fire in her belly and cure her boredom. With another swipe of his polearm he misses the fruit he was aiming for again, it sways softly as the weapon glances past it by a hair. "Come on, f*** piece of horses***" he yelps becoming visibly frustrated, when the line breaks to the sounds of a howling cackle. "The hell was that?" Gaius perks up trying to sus out what he'd just heard. "Did you hear that?" he asks the small songstress as he keeps faced toward the origin of the noise.

Shiina heard Gaius recoil to something, at first due to missing his apple again and then for a different reason. He shifts back subtly as a crackling noise brought Shiina to seek it out. She'd wander past the dragoon, near the tree to find the origin of what was making the sound. To her surprise it was a bright red furred creature with a long like body, jiggling a bit as it tore into a green apple that had fallen from the tree overhead. "Gaius, its a thing!" Shiina remarks, in response the thing perks up with its teeth clattering together with pieces of destroyed apple rather disturbed by the girl's presence. It flips out and starts to growls and scratch away at the wood of the tree, the half eaten apple falls to the grass below it. Shiina eyes it like it is adorable, the feral looking rodent latched to the side of the tree trying to make its way up to little prevail.

He takes a step back, his polearm ready to go should he need it as the little songstress investigates the skittering sounds and clacking of teeth. "Shiina, I wouldn't do that if I were you. It's obviously a thing." Gaius barks to the child hoping to instill some sense of caution in her, keeping at her back. It was a small red weasel that had seemed startled by Gaius and the following Shiina. "Oh its a rat." Gaius remarked placing his hand to his face and sheathing his glaive. He laughed with a smirk, with a shake of his head he was not sure why he was so worried. "I doubt that thing will deal any real damage." he would comment as the creature's claws raked down the bark making it peel and chip away to the ground below. Shiina however appeared enamored with it, her attention fixated on this sporadic and frightened bundle of fur and claws.

The girl with steel blue hair with a grin moves to grasp at it, and with a flailing of its small appendages it darts up the tree to the best it could. It was instantly clear that this was going to be an ordeal, it did not want to be picked up or pet as Shiina would wish it to. She was not discouraged, however, as she was fixated at the thought of having her own little furball like Boris was to Gaius. The chance of having one all her own was overwhelming enough that she would keep trying, patting the tree with repeated attempts to latch onto the thing. It slipped through her fingertips like a bar of soap, the little songstress was beginning to become visibly irritated at its elusive nature. "Just hold still!" Shiina barked to a hiss and squeal from the thing in response, meanwhile, Gaius was trying to keep a straight face behind her.

What follows is a hilarious showing of Shiina firing off attempts to grab the thing as it spits and constantly darts around avoiding her grasp all the while. Gaius could hardly contain himself, it was a riot watching on in an almost cartoon Esque showing as if it could feel the girls attempts before she made them. "Keep trying..." Gaius would hold his tongue, struggling to be supportive and not burst out laughing. "Ooh almost got him that time." Gaius responds before he turns and shoves his hand into his palm, taking deep breaths. This was quite possibly the hardest thing Gaius had ever attempted to do, last time he did a fair job of making her cry so he was trying his damned to stop himself from repeating that result. It was the least he could do after what he had put the girl through in seconds lessons from some time ago.

Shiina could hear Gaius snickering behind her, her eyes welling up a bit as he was being cruel. But it was not like before, she could tell that he was trying to not be mean. With a hard swallow, she would keep on trying to rip the tiny rodent from the bark, it was eyeballing her as she turned to look at Gaius and squeaks rather harshly as her eyes return to its back. Like a devil it scratches away with nails dug into the wood, making it a fair bit upward before sliding back down just about the same distance it had made it upward. Shiina was getting rather frustrated at how difficult it was to grab the little tube like ball of red fur. "Would you quit, we both know this is going to happen. Just let it happen." the girl threatens the traumatized beast, showing fear unmatched by most as the songstress with a face like an angel and a soul like a tyrant was burning a hole with her glare through its back.

Gaius takes even more space away from the girl for this was beginning to become a bit too much for him, choosing instead to allow her solidarity to do the job. "I'll be over here with Boris. Just shout of you need me." he remarks to the girl as he ushers past, the weasel flipping out again as a new voice pipes up. Looking to his comatose bear still sitting there with an apple beside it with a tongue sticking out. "You look ridiculous." Gaius barked to the tiny bear which perks up at his voice, before the dragoon would grin and kneel down adding even more pats and scooping him up. Rubbing feverishly upon the grizzly cub's stomach its tongue still popped out, Gaius picks up the green apple and passes it to him. Boris latches closed both paws before a smack of his lips show he was chewing on it.

A bit more failed attempts to claim it before the girl gets a hand full of fur. A harsh screech as she rips it off the tree, its tiny hands flailing about aggressively as she waves it toward Gaius who winces as it comes close to his face. "Gaius I got him, I'ma name him Sprinkle." it was looking to its surroundings rather quickly as if looking for a way out. She attempts to pet him like Gaius was doing with his bear when the thing bites hard onto her finger. It was not happy and it looked like a frenzied animal. "Quit it Sprinkle, that's not nice." Shiina remarks casting first aid to repair the damage it had dealt her which was not a whole lot. She then squeezes him tightly in her arms, as it stared at Gaius with a look like it was pleading him to set him free.

Leaning back to avoid the now held aloft weasel that looked both menacing and pathetic at once. Gaius was not sure how to respond to the fact that Shiina had claimed such a sporadic and almost disease ridden looking beast as her own. "You sure you want to keep it?" he would ask of the songstress, watching the thing flail about. She nods and waves it closer to Gaius, to which takes a step back and fumbles a bit. She then takes it into a hug, and he could swear he hears a small squishing noise as a result. I feel sorta bad for that thing Gaius thinks to himself and scratches intently at Boris's belly who seemed troubled by the sounds coming from Shiina's new feral animal. With a sigh, Gaius assumes that fighting with Shiina on the matter may end up fruitless. Most things he would gladly get in a verbal confrontation about, but he dreaded the thought of getting anywhere close to 'Sprinkle'

[Shiina 0]

Shiina would begin to rub her cheek to the creature's head while it was trapped in her vice like grasp, a small chatter ever time she does. "Come on Sprinkle, we are going to go on an adventure. Back into town!" She quickly shifts posture and with one of her hands raised in a point, the weasel held in her off hand and placed to her hip. It hung there like a damp napkin, seemingly defeated. Shiina then starts to head back for the town, as surely her earlier escapades had blown over. There was still plenty of daylight left, and now she had to show the weasel a good time. How best to do that than in a town with interesting things to fiddle with? The glint of her armor would be the last thing Gaius sees as she vanishes into the walls of the city, before the sounds of a crash would be audible and what sounded like muffled shouting.

Gaius simply watches on as the girl skips away, with the rather limp looking familiar now trapped in her clutches. With a sigh, Gaius looks to Boris and asks him as if the tiny bear could respond back. "Did we do good here? I have no f*** clue..." Gaius mutters as he rakes the brown fuzz that was the belly of the thing. It seems to shrug with a pink tongue sticking from its snout. "Well hell back to it." the dragoon chooses to ignore the fact he may have just doomed a weasel, and as he removes his glaive he hears a bang at his back which causes him to twitch. Just forget about it Gaius thought as he was sure before that he was the one to cause the most problems. Now he was not entirely sure which was worse, for Shiina didn't seem to have a rhyme or reason to the trouble she got in. Which was far more frightening than his, at least it was somewhat predictable.
