Alcohol! The word you're looking for iiiiis alcohol, Princess.
[ she sways a little when she says it. looks like the berry she ate earlier might be making things worse -- oh no. clearly this will end...not so well... ]
But it could be something else, you're right! Hahaha, isn't it great?
[ please stop them. ]
Man, I just wanna lay down in the grass and watch the clouds. What about you?
Alcohol. That's right. You humans and your alcohol.
[She repeats, nodding. Pleased with herself for... having the answer supplied to her?]
A little break wouldn't hurt anyone. [She agrees, tilting her head up to look at the sky and - whoops! She leans a little too far back and promptly lands on her backside, blinking up at Sylvia owlishly.]
[ at this point, it's mostly black with platinum tips. without the right hair dye, well, she can't really color her hair back to what it was when she arrived, so! ]
Thanks! It is pretty long. I'm thinking of chopping it off at some point. Have you ever thought about cutting your hair, Princess?
Haha, my hair's gonna get real long soon, so I can afford to chop it off! I'm sure it'll be fiiiine. [ a beat, then: ] Do you think short hair would match me?

[ she lets out a weak laugh, then slowly drops them all into the basket. ]
That's totally what I was planning on doing.
[ she does not sound convincing in the slightest. ]
Aaaaanyway, what's your name, Miss? I'm Sylvia. Might as well get each other's names since we're berry-picking together, right?
no subject
Maybe we can set a bushel aside for us, for later.
[They can always pay the farmer for the produce. She gets back to work picking berries,]
It's berry nice to meet you, Sylvia. [Oh hoho. She giggles at her own joke. Drunk Allura is a riot.] My name is Princess Allura.
no subject
[ looks like we're just rolling with the puns here, huh!! she laughs, too. it's okay. they can both be messes together.
sylvia clumsily turns towards the bushel in front of her and starts picking. ]
There's something real nice about these berries, don't you think?
no subject
Yes, they're delicious.
[And getting difficult to pick, she has to squint, really focusing on honing in on those berries so she doesn't smush them or drop them.]
And, don't tell the others, but I think there might be more to them than that.
no subject
[ her eyes brighten curiously. ]
Like what, hm?
no subject
I think some of them might be overripe.
[Holding one of the berries out, she squeezes it between her fingers, letting it squish between her fingertips.]
See? They are soft.
no subject
[ sylvia grins and reaches for another berry. sure enough, this one's overripe, too. ]
You think that's why we're feeling all giggly and stuff?
no subject
Perhaps. There might be a- ahh [What's the word,] Pheromone they produce. Or maybe it's in the juice.

But it could be something else, you're right! Hahaha, isn't it great?

Man, I just wanna lay down in the grass and watch the clouds. What about you?
These dweebs
[She repeats, nodding. Pleased with herself for... having the answer supplied to her?]
A little break wouldn't hurt anyone. [She agrees, tilting her head up to look at the sky and - whoops! She leans a little too far back and promptly lands on her backside, blinking up at Sylvia owlishly.]
Oh, it appears I've already sat down.
they are SUCH dweebs
[ she also plops down onto the ground and lands on her back, and she doesn't wipe the surprised expression from her face. ]
You humans? You're -- oh.
[ in her "drunken" state...sylvia did not realize the markings or the ears. ] Wait...what does that make you, then?
[ allura doesn't look like any of the monsters she's seen around here...so she must be a witch. a witch who wasn't originally human or something. ]
no subject
I am an Altean.
[A melodramatic sigh, and she lifts her hands to the side of her head, touching the tips of her ears gingerly.]
Do I really appear human? Or... a monster?
no subject
[ points at her ears!!! ]
I wouldn't say monster, just...not entirely human either!
[ oh god is she making this worse ]
two ear tags for you in 24 hours.
[Another sigh, and she drops her hands to her lap.]
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a human. I even think your ears are a little cute, now. Very unassuming.
oh my god
[ a beat, then: ]
I think your ears are way cooler.
no subject
Thank you. No one has ever said that before.
[Should she be feeling a weird pride over her ears? She does.]
I rather like your hair - back home I did not know humans could grow it so long!
no subject
[ at this point, it's mostly black with platinum tips. without the right hair dye, well, she can't really color her hair back to what it was when she arrived, so! ]
Thanks! It is pretty long. I'm thinking of chopping it off at some point. Have you ever thought about cutting your hair, Princess?
no subject
[She gapes a little, bringing her hands up to hold the hair at the nape of her neck closer, protective.]
Absolutely not. It would take a lifetime for it to return to this length. Maybe several lifetimes!
no subject
[ this is what we're talking about i guess!!! ]
Haha, my hair's gonna get real long soon, so I can afford to chop it off! I'm sure it'll be fiiiine. [ a beat, then: ] Do you think short hair would match me?
[ good luck allura!! ]
no subject
I have a lot of hair.
[Just imagine it wet!
At her question, she hums, thinking while looking at Sylvia’s face,] I think you could wear your hair in any fashion. But I am partial to the long.
no subject
[ but...girl, how do you shampoo all of that, oh my god? ]
Alright! Thanks for your input. Maybe I'll just trim it a bit!
