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!]

[Of course he's ready to help! Might as well put all that studying to productive use, and all that, and it's not like he's only reading about his magic, when there are clearly just as important things in relation to his Bonds.]

As far as I understand it, yeah. But not spiders. Those are Arachne.

Insects then?

[What kind of insect is she? She hopes it's not too weird. This is already bad enough that she has bumps on her back to make room for the fact that she'll have wings on her back!]

Yeah, seems like it.

[This whole situation is pretty damn weird already, so he's sure that whatever insect she ends up being - if she is indeed a Fae and not something more out there like a Chimera - won't be the weirdest.]

You like bugs, though, right? So it shouldn't be that bad.

Bugs were something that would spend time with me. They were nice when I wasn't allowed to have friends growing up.

[Maybe they were her first friends? Probably not. Because bugs don't really feel strongly about people. Not that she blames them honestly. It's fine. They're just doing their buggy things! Living their buggy lives!]

Ah... yeah. I get it.

[Well, as much as he can get it, anyway. He was never isolated like that for any length of time where the bugs would be accustomed to his presence.]

Well, hopefully your little bug friends will be proud of whatever you become.

I know they're just bugs but it meant a lot that they would spend time with me. It's probably silly.

[Thinking of bugs as friends. How weird.]

Heh, yeah, it is silly, but that's alright. They kept you company.

[It's weird! Really weird! But that doesn't mean she was wrong for thinking that way.]

[She looks up at Sylvain. It feels really good to have someone being okay with her feelings. To agree with her but still acknowledge them rather than brush her aside. It makes her smile and before she realizes it she finds she's reached out to hold his hand. Because she really wanted to.]

[Oh. He isn't anticipating her reaching out to hold his hand, so he's sure she feels a little spark of surprise over their bond before he squeezes her hand back to tell her it's alright.

She shouldn't avoid being affectionate, if she wants to be, after all.]

[She almost wonders if she shouldn't have done it when she feels the surprise. It was too impulsive. Definitely. But then he squeezes her hand and she instantly feels better. Smiling again, she settles for just holding his hand while they walk, enjoying the nice feeling being bonded allows for with the filtering. It's nice. Comfortable.

She hopes it feels just as good for him too.]
