time goes byyyyy.

WHO: everyone
WHERE: here, there, everywhere
WHEN: Day 47, morning

[ wowee. It's a new day, but the sleigh is still in the sky and the ritual still seems to be in effect. sick.

Since it's a new day, it's probably snowed in different parts of the pasture so those big, fluffy snowflakes are still at large. And then there's also, you know, this mind reading nonsense that may or may not still apply to you.

How's it going this morning, pasture peeps? ]

his tail flicks as Perci scoops him up, almost as if he - irrationally - wants to run for it. doesn't run. he's clearly attempting to keep his returning hug loose, casual. natural.

it isn't. ]

[ part of him wants to reach out and pull Perci back. part of him wants to shrug. be dismissive. it would be easy.

instead, he simply lets him go. ]

Ah, the quest. The deal's complete, don't worry.

Sheep--

Of course he went to you. Is he all right? I think he's mad at me.

He's alright. I've been taking care of him. I... think he's mostly afraid. Not of you but of what could happen to you.

I couldn't stop him from overhearing the quest details, so...

( bro )

... that isn't the problem, you know...? He cares about you. I care about you. Seeing you hurt and dead - even if you come back - isn't something we like happening. I think it'd do him some good if you sat down with him and spent some time with him, just to make sure he knows you're okay.

Sorry. For worrying you. For what it's worth, I didn't want to die.

[ the "I just had to" hangs in the air. ]

I suppose he's been at Lily...?

( surprisingly, perci doesn't react to the outburst. he does, however, reach over to pull him into another hug - allowing him to reject if he needs to. )

I know you didn't. And yes, he has been.

... I recognize something different in your medical notes.

[ he doesn't reject the hug, but he's not exactly at ease either. he wants to be - Perci should be able to tell - but he can't quite manage it. especially not in this body. ]

That was the quest reward.

[ he doesn't think Perci's talking about him being small, so... ]

( he gently soothes his hand down his back. he knows he's not comfortable, but he also... didn't really seem comfortable with perci pulling away. this is the best he can do right now. )

Are you happy with it? Does it hurt at all? I imagine that the change in material might have shocked your body, especially as you are now.

Can we not do this out here? ... Please.

[ his voice comes out thick, rough. he's notably also turned away from Lily, as if he'd prefer to also avoid the barn. ]

I can do experiments anytime now that it's winter and I'm not preoccupied with preserving and foraging.

Come on. Pick a direction and that's where we'll go.

( so that's where they head. perci moves more slowly than he usually does, despite not really having any injuries. at least since kiki is in a child form it's manageable.

when they get somewhere secluded he steps forward and makes a little gazebo like before, except the vines and briars create a wall that's hard to see through. and inside the pockets of light still filter in just fine. )

Ah, right... you weren't there for negotiations, you didn't see.

I made a prettier one before. For intimidation purposes.

( but he beckons him in nonetheless. soft moss acts as a nice carpet. )
