[PP-F2] <<Feeding Your Enemy>> Howling at the Moon

"So, you up to the task?"

The bluenette glanced at the younger warrior, Asmura. Her chubby cheeks were squish worthy, but she did not intend to scare the girl off so soon on. She wanted to get to know the guild's gem, their youngest comrade by far. The woman, as busy as ever, still made time to get to know each and every member of Firm Anima. They were like a second family to her. Strength was not only in numbers but in camaraderie. 

A soft ball of white fluff guarded his owner's foot, staring up at the tiny human. He had never met a human as tiny before. The polar cub's head ducked as he approached the younger. Moist snout booped the other's foot, checking her scent. She seemed warm enough. The familiar nudged her leg for affection. "Oh!" Haine cut in, "I think he likes ya!" A soft smile graced her lips. "That fuzzball over there's Mishka. He's a sweetheart, I promise."

She watched the two for a moment until she all but forgot-

"Aha! I almost forgot. I have a present for ya'." The bluenette fished through her inventory. She didn't know what sweets the girl liked... but pure sugar should be enough to please most children, right? She opted for a pudding filled pastry with a strawberry jam center, freshly baked from her love's bakery. She handed two of them to the younger. "Here, some snacks to tide you for the trip. Kiluia made them." She clasped her hands together. "There's more of these at his shop. I miiight take you there after we find your buddy."

Wide, innocent orbs stared up at the women clad in dark armor and lace leggings. The aspect about the women that clearly caught Asmura's attention was the bright blue locks that framed the petite face. If one looked close enough they would notice that the blue locks appeared to match the set of warm bold blue eyes too--and the young girl was definitely looking close enough. Mesmerized it took just a moment to realize that the woman, known as Haine, was addressing her. Upon realizing that Hanie was addressing her, kyanite orbs quickly averted to the ground, where they met the dark black eyes of the cub approaching. Curiously, Asmura watched as the cub sniffed her and then proceeded to rub against her legs. All shyness abandoned at the sight of the animal.

"Y-y-y-yes!" Asmura managed, while watching the animal with intensity. As soon as Haine stated that Mishka was friendly a tentative hand was outstretched. Carefully, small finger is landed on the cub’s furry forehead. Instantaneously, the nervousness dwindled. A wide, check-to-cheek smile made it way to the child-like features as the soft fur morphed under the touch. A gasp from above brought a startled gaze up. Haine had stated that she brought sweets--and they were made by Kiluia! Suddenly a buzz with excitement a bright gaze watched as the sweets were presented.  They appeared to be freshly made and the aroma of the two-pudding filled pastry with a strawberry jam center made her mouth water. 

"Th-th-thank you!" Asmura grinned, "That would be amazing! I bet he had has all kinds of sweets in there..." It took a lot of effort to not eat them both on the spot. Putting them in her inventory she shot another grin up at the women. This was going to be a fun adventure. Asmura was excited to get to know Haine more thoroughly. "L-l-let's do this!"

The cub squeaked and sprung off his hind legs, in an attempt to jump into the girl's arms. An attention seeker as always. One could not resist the shine in his soulless, dark eyes. His chipper attitude wore off any initial intimidation from his sharp claws and razor-like fangs. Mishka had all but forgotten his owner, fixed onto Asmura. The woman spared a chuckle at the sight. Unfortunately, the bluenette discovered he was after the pastry. "Oh you...! You ate breakfast thirty minutes ago!" She waggled her finger. "Tell me if he's buggin' you sweetie."

The guild hall was unusually lively this day, people moving to and fro from the vault. A group must've found something good to chase. She spared a wave to her comrades. "It's going to be a journey, so eat up if you're hungry." Haine recalled the chaos that was her attempt to tame Mishka. The cub, then skittish, ran off at the snap of a twig. Only several days of attempts later did she bag the fellah. She left the grueling part of the mission out of discussion, she wouldn't want to scare Asmura. When the girl would draw, she noticed a familiar theme of something fuzzy.

She fanned her nape. "Phew, it's stuffy in here. Let's get some fresh air." She made way for the exit and held the door open. A pleasant gust of wind brushed against her face. "Ahh, much better." Haine leaned back to crack her back. Right that moment, her stomach grumbled. The woman was one to eat on the go, typically. Without an absolute destination in mind, she would have to wait a bit. "Hold that. Why don't we eat breakfast here before we head out?" She ushered Asmura to the steps and plopped down.
