[Open] Catch all!
Who: Bernadetta and YOU
When: First couple of weeks in the month
Where: Various locations
What: Bernadetta is having to adjust to some new changes. It's a lot to take in! For someone who is getting smaller every day...
Warnings: Hopefully just her usual anxieties. But I'll throw up a warning for potential mentions of child abuse (she had a rough childhood) just in case. Other than that it's just body transformation things!
A. Home is where the heart is (Closed to the people she lives with at the Lions or Eagles houses)
[Those who live with Bernie may not see her that often. Which, honestly, is pretty normal! She loves to spend time in her room and keep to herself. With that said there's always food for either household and she makes sure it's well suited to individual needs. Of course she makes sure that she doesn't make a mess either. After all she doesn't want to be a rude housemate!
With that said, her housemates might notice something rather...odd. Or maybe even a few things.
For one, she's definitely been getting smaller. She'd started out at around 5'5" but now those around might notice that she's got to have shrunk...several inches. Why, she's shorter than Edelgard now!
But there's more than that. Thin, almost hairlike things are starting to stick up from her hair. She's a little self conscious about how weird they might look so she's been dodging people. That and the fact that the window in the back of her clothes is definitely showing off very noticeable nubs that indicate her incoming wings. And are her ears...pointier?
Well she can't dodge people forever. Eventually one of them will find her! Especially if she thinks she's alone and has a space to do some sewing or reading in another part of the house.]
B. Sometimes she has to get outside
[It's rare for her to go outside right now with her odd looking changes but she knows she can't hide forever. Besides, she really wants to do some painting or sewing outside! Which means that she tries to find a private but pretty location to do just that. It helps that there's a lot of gardening things going on right now which happens to be one of her favorite things in the universe.
A nice vase of flowers arranged on the ground before her as she hums to herself while she either paints it or embroiders the design of it onto fabric. She seems lost in her own little world so she's not likely to notice she has company right away.
Don't let that stop you though. She might be jumpy but friendship is good for her!]
Wildcard
[If we have other plans feel free to use this one here! Otherwise feel free to plot with me and we'll figure something else out!]
[ooc: Just a heads up that tags will be slow on weekdays because of school for this month! Still I will do my best to not keep you waiting too long! Thank you for your patience in advance!]

A
Since he wasn't a permanent resident, however, it felt like the times were rare when he actually spotted Bernadetta.
Finding her at that moment in the kitchen, Lorenz leaned against the panes of the doorway briefly and watched her flit around the room in silence. Her cooking skills were always impressive... but the height.
The difference was cause for him to spend a moment second-guessing himself. Either he had managed to have another growth spurt unknowingly, or she had indeed gotten shorter-- if that was possible
He didn't know if it was.
After watching for long enough to notice Bernadetta having trouble with a high shelf, he announced his presence as softly and gently as he could.]
Let me get that for you, Bernadetta.
[Ducking through the door-- lest the antlers catch on the frame-- he strode across the kitchen and pulled down whatever it was she sought with the enviable ease of someone tall and handed it to her.
Sorry, Bernie. There's no hiding now.]
no subject
Hearing a voice, she blinks as Lorenz appears behind her and easily grabs the bag for her. Taking it, she looks up at the other noble, cheeks coloring a little but she does smile at least.]
Thank you. Sorry I'm so useless right now.
[She should move a ladder in here or something. Then she wouldn't need someone to rush to her aid. They could live their own lives without having to worry about her losing height!
That's not a bad plan actually...]
no subject
[He said with a smile, resisting the urge to reach out and fuss with her hair while she spoke. Even with her rare appearances, Bernadetta was always pleasant to have around.]
You're going through changes that a great many of us go through in some way or another. You're a Fae, aren't you?
[It was possible. The scope of Bernadetta's transformation matched up with other Fae that he had met.]
With luck, one day soon you'll be able to fly and take items off shelves that even I can't reach.
no subject
[She kind of wishes she knew even more but at least she's figured out that shrinking is normal. And the couple of other traits she's gotten.]
...really?
[Excuse her as she looks up at the top, top shelves. In that moment she's suddenly not nervous about her new traits. Because to be able to fly...]
