A. Berry Picking
[So Iuneril is off to a great start. All the chaos from people unexpectedly bursting out of mirrors and reflective surfaces may have disappeared overnight ... and really, that's for the best. No more middle school rivals showing up in the bathroom, no more so-called allies stealing his cat. Except that it also means that Shiro's disappeared on him for the second time Keith has been here. Of course, it's not anyone's fault in particular, but it still puts Keith in a bit of a stormy mood. Hard not to feel like the universe is out to mess with him in particular.
...which is probably why it ought to be strange that iunerberry picking is actually cheering him up. Keith hadn't exactly signed up for this expecting to have a good time, just that cunes are cunes. As he straightens up to move onto the next cluster of bushes, he wobbles.]
Woah... [Grabbing onto the nearest person, he starts laughing.] Sorry, just lost my balance there for a second. You doing okay?
B. Outpost Progress
[And after that bit of embarrassing overshare, it's time to never show his face around the house again. At least for the next couple of days anyway. Keith is well packed for the excursion to the outpost, with a large bag of camping supplies and two swords strapped to his back. He hasn't been near the settlement in a while, and it has developed a good deal more than he remembers it last.
It's around dusk that he makes his way to one of the camp's fires that have been set up for the evening. Now that the sun is starting to make him a litttle letharigc, it's easier on him to do the night shift. Technically being a vampire, he doesn't need to eat normal food either, but he plops himself down by the fire where a cut of meat is being roasted over a spit. He turns to ask the person next to him a question.]
Anything interesting happen yet?
C. Silent Forest
[And since he's now fully committed himself to staying busy instead of dwelling on all of his problems, Keith has agreed to show up for body guard duty for the witches who are casting purifying magic.
Maybe a particularly touchy witch told him they don't need protection, or maybe he just got distracted by something seeming to move in the shadows between the twisted trunks and branches of the Cwyld infected trees -- one way or another, he's wandered off on his own. Keith squints, drawing his sword to push aside some rotting foliage that's frosted over. Breath visible as he exhales, he turns sharply at the sound of someone approaching.]
Oh. [He doesn't lower the sword yet, but he nods in greeting.] Hey.
[But maybe there's a time and place for proper introductions later because something is definitely out there and whatever it is is getting closer.]
no subject
Thanks for telling me. I'm sorry about your dad. You deserve a lot better than that.
no subject
[He gets to have her head flop right onto his shoulder as her arms wrap around him to cling to him a bit. Look, hugs are something she got so rarely back in her world. She gets so many here that she finds herself longing for them all the more.]
...thank you for being my friend.
no subject
I get scared, too, sometimes. [ His voice is soft, quiet as he looks over her shoulder towards the berry bushes in the distance. ] About losing people, I mean.
[ A beat. ]
My friend.. my best friend. Shiro. He disappeared again today and I ... [ God what the fuck is he saying. Why is he saying any of this. ] ... I know he just went home and he's probably safe? I just... I need to be better about telling my friends I care about them.
So... thanks, Bernadetta.
no subject
[That must be so hard. Her gaze softens for him as he tells her about his friend. He must have been one of the many who were here for a month then were just gone. It must be so hard...]
I hope you'll get to see him again soon. But...you can spend more time with me if you want to. I'm really weird and probably not a lot of fun but I can try to be better so you can have more people to spend time with.
no subject
It is a little hard, yeah. Sometimes it feels like I'm chasing after him and not getting there in time
[ But he shakes his head and draws back. ]
But seriously, you need to stop worrying so much. I like spending time with you as you are.
no subject
[She sits back then, lowering her hands to her lap.]
Sorry. I'm trying not to worry so much.
no subject
[ He offers her a warm smile as she sits back. ]
It'd be easier if you could sit on them or something. Just to make sure they're safe. Kinda like you're doing right now, come to think of it.
[ Hm. /thinking emoji ]
no subject
And promptly falling onto the ground in a graceless FLUMP.]
no subject
But she squeaks and practically jumps out of his lap and as embarrassed as he is, he can't exactly stop laughing. It's a little uncontrollable, and he struggles to catch his breath. ]
I -- [ WHEEZE. ] I'm really hoping nobody we know was around to see this?
no subject
[But she's too drunk to properly do that. So she goes to try standing up to look around them and just ends up right back on her butt all over again, blinking in confusion. How did that happen. Isn't she supposed to have stood up?
Ummmm...]
I don't think it worked.
