[ it is very important! she's right. ]

Yeah. We were traveling together back home. [ he does not want to agree to little friend, because he is tsun about friendship, and also because it feels very weird to call a teen his little friend. ] Wasn't sure you'd met.

[undread]

She made me very angry when we first woke up. But she apologized, so it's fine now.

[residentmerc]

... Yeah, that sounds more like her.

[undread]

She tends to speak without thinking. But I'm very magnanimous. Do you have other friends here, or just her?

[residentmerc]

... There's Aerith, too. The three of us were traveling in a group before we got here.

[undread]

Oh. I like her. She's very nice.

[residentmerc]

... Yeah.

[ well he can't DISAGREE but agreeing makes him EMBARRASSED so: ]

Glad you guys are getting along. [ no actually saying that is more embarrassing...why did he do it... ]

[undread]

Are you checking up to make sure she's okay?

[how cute...]

I won't let any harm come to her.

[residentmerc]

Well... She can take care of herself.

[ ... but...? but. ]

But... she likes making friends.

[undread]

[he is checking up on her. how cute.]

I'm good at making friends. It's on my profile. I made Pâté all on my own.

[residentmerc]

...Think that's probably a little more literal than most people mean that.

[undread]

Perhaps. But I can make her one, too.

[residentmerc]

... She'd...

[ thinking about it. ]

What would you make it out of?

[undread]

Maybe some leeches and rat bones.

[residentmerc]

...

Maybe wait until we've got things that aren't leeches around.

[undread]

...Maybe there's some hay in the barn. I could make it from that and a bit of cloth. And then I could use rat fur for the hair.

[residentmerc]

[ well. honestly this is the least terrible version ]

...Doesn't sound half-bad. You can sew all that?

[undread]

Oh, yes. I rather enjoy making dolls.

[residentmerc]

Never met a dollmaker before. [ is that what she is. sure. ] Just a hobby, or is it part of the... familiar thing?

[undread]

It's just a hobby. I was on my own for a very long time, and making them was a nice way to have someone to talk to!

[residentmerc]

Even though they couldn't talk back? [ hm. aware that's a little bit rude to askof her coping mechanism: ] Why were you on your own anyway?

[undread]

Sometimes someone who can't talk back is better than someone who can.

[she says this in the most ominous way possible. anyway.]

People don't always take well to me, since I'm a little spooky. A little off. I would try to keep to myself, but even that usually eventually led to me being driven off.

[residentmerc]

[ she says it very ominously but he kind of tilts his head like hmmm. yeah. fair point. because he is antisocial ]

... People can be pretty harsh to others who "creep them out". [ he says it slowly, like he's thinking of something in particular ] Even when they haven't done anything.

[undread]

Yes. It's cruel. But I'm not in the habit of expecting more from small minded people. It simply makes it difficult to get settled.

[residentmerc]

That why you started traveling with those friend of yours?
