Support Points Earned: 2

[11:07 PM] NethaEmerald: After the events of the previous night, Nyra was totally antsy. She had no idea when she would speak to Seed again, and the time waiting didn't help much. To try and help ease her running mind, the Jera had gone just a short distance away from camp and was toying with a few plants, a mortar and pestle, and a bottle filled halfway with water. She didn't really have any kind of goal in mind for what she wanted to make; she was just experimenting with items she had found herself. A jar laid at her side, filled with warm-hot water and with a small leaf in it. It was to her, tea, even though it was sickeningly sweet. Taking a drink from the jar, she went back to pouring grinded plants into the bottle and mixing it together. It didn't do anything that interesting.

[3:31 AM] Da Big Fluff: For once in a long while, Millie had gone the whole day without actually training, besides the morning run. She couldn't live without that one. She had realized that she had spent so much of her life training that she didn't really know what to do without it. Doodling notes in her diary took about an hour. All her blades were already in good condition and there wasn't any point in sharpening them either. Maybe I should find a new hobby. Millie had spent most of the afternoon reading a book, but left the camp to clear her mind. Her mind was jumbled, like it was filled with some sort of buzzing. Indiscriminate, meaningless buzzing. But as her mind buzzed around she saw Nyanrdisa messing around with plants and a mortar. "Oh hi Nyrandisa, what are you doing here?"

[8:37 PM] NethaEmerald: Nyra was simply observing the slightly discolored water in the bottle when a voice called out to her. The Jera slowly turned around to face the source of the sound. "Oh. Hello Millie. I'm just experimenting with random plants into a bottle. See if anything interesting happens." She explained as she set the bottle down after twirling it to stir it for a little bit.

[10:46 PM] Da Big Fluff: "Like medicine?" Millie tilted her head to the side, causing her bow to flop to the side with her. In fact, her black colored bow was larger than usual for some reason, and she could actually feel it flop back and forth above her head. It was actually kind of fun.

[10:52 PM] NethaEmerald: When asked what it was, Nyra responded "Maybe. I have no idea what this brew dows. I just put random things into it. But usually, yes, I do try to make medicinal items. A nice supplement to magical healing if nothing else." She looked down at the bottle. "Maybe I should test drinking it..."

[11:05 PM] Da Big Fluff: "Uhh...." Millie wasn't an expert in medicines, but she was pretty sure drinking random plants wasn't the safest. "Are you sure that's smart? What happens if you get poisoned?" Millie wasn't sure she could save Nyrandisa if she got poisoned.

[11:08 PM] NethaEmerald: The Jera laughed a little at that. "I'm not a fool, Millie. I know what is safe for the common body and what is not. The plants and herbs I mixed? All safe." She stopped to think for a moment. "Though they might an odd interaction with each other... but I won't be able to learn new alchemical recipies without experimentation." She took a drink... from the small jar of tea. "But regardless, I wasn't intending to make anything serious. Just needed something to distract me was all... and it's not working too well." she explained with a frown.

[11:28 PM] Da Big Fluff: Millie doubted anything edible would make any interesting interactions, especially from plants. Her school in Rettati had an alchemy teacher class, and all the cool stuff involved poisonous stuff. "Well usually when I have something troubling I go practice, but..." Nyrandisa probably wasn't one to swing around a metal stick. "Maybe it'll help if you talk about it....unless it's embarrassing."

[11:35 PM] NethaEmerald: When the suggestion of talking about it arose, Nyrandisa sighed. Was she ready? She wasn't quite sure herself. But she needed to make the choice soon. "Perhaps you're right. It wouldn't hurt to talk about it." She said, taking a deep breath before continuing. "With my time in the investigation, i've gotten to know a lot of different people. I've enoyed everyone i've met in The Pack. However, there is one person who... has caught my eye the most." A small blush formed across her non-hooded face. "While i'm mostly certain how I feel about them, and have requested to speak to them one-on-one... i'm nervous about it. There's a lot that can go wrong. I hope it's not the wrong closure for my heart..."

[12:01 AM] Da Big Fluff: "Oh...?" Millie did her best not to grin like a fiend. A love story? Oh this could get good. Millie wanted to dig all the dirt there was on Nyrandisa's crush. "So... What's he like?" There weren't that many guys in The Pack so it shouldn't be too hard to deduce. Daniël maybe? Zain? Suleiman was a Jera but he was probably much older.

[12:06 AM] NethaEmerald: "What's he like?" That only caused the blush to deepen a little. "Well, he is kind, supportive, uh... loves to write... and..." She took a breath. "Ah screw it. No point in beating around the bush. It's Seed, okay?" She got out.

[12:12 AM] Da Big Fluff: "Eh-" This caught Millie by surprise. Seed uh... she didn't exactly consider him as someone Nyarn would be interested, but she supposed she understood how she felt. "I see..." Millie looked around as if people were watching and leaned in closer. "Does he know?"

[12:21 AM] NethaEmerald: She took a moment of pause. "Most likely. Not sure. He hasn't made any kind of vocal acknowledgement. That's the hard part; i've no idea exactly how he feels. I just hope it goes well..." She takes a deep sigh and a drink from her tea. "Uh... do you have any advice?" She asked, looking at millie with red cheeks.

[12:26 AM] Da Big Fluff: "Ask him out on a date!" Millie covered her mouth and giggled when she realized how loud she was. "If he knows it might be because he's being courteous about your feelings. If not you get to spend more time eith him anyways. I'm sure you'll have fun!"

[12:30 AM] NethaEmerald: "A date?" She asked. "That might not be too bad... though i've already asked him to do something with me. Alone. So maybe that is one? I just don't know." She looked down in frustration. "GAH! Why can't this whole thing just become easy? I know it will be when I talk to him. I won't hold really anything back. But I also don't know how to go about it. Have you any advice there?"

[12:45 AM] Da Big Fluff: "Ehehehe" Millie giggled again, part amused, part maliciously. "You just have to be a bit confident. Seed is pretty sensitive so I'm sure he'd understand. You just have to ask first, because he's probably not sure how you feel." She looked Nyarndisa around, before shooting back to her seat eagerly. Sje always lived a good love story. "If you feel nervous I could come with you. I csn help you pick your dress, do your hair..." Her voice rattled on about preparations and how cute Nyrandisa would look. To any bystander it would seem like she was more excited than the Jera. "Of course, if you don't feel comfortable you don't have to. Sometimes it helps to take things slow."

[12:49 AM] NethaEmerald: As Millie just went on and on about how to impress Seed and make herself lovely, the blush on her face only grew deeper. She had never dressed fancy in her life. And she wasn't sure if that would be a good time to. She stammered out "Slow down! I can't keep up! I'm not even sure if Seed is expecting anything fancy when we meet up to discuss things okay! I-I mean, I would love to look lovely, but i'm just not sure this is the time." Her voice wasn't the same as normal. Instead of being strong, it was shaky. Instead of usually chipper, it was a mix of confused and dreamy.(edited)

[1:06 AM] Da Big Fluff: "Don't worry about it I'm sure Seed will appreciate any effort." Millie happily patted Nyrandisa on the head and happily hummed a little tune. "Anyways you just have to let Seed know you're interested! Ask him out, maybe give him a gift." Truth be told, Millie had 0 experience in dating herself, but she was pretty sure all the books she read were somewhat accurate. what could possibly go wrong?

[1:09 AM] NethaEmerald: When Millie patted her head, Nyra quickly swatted Millie's hand away, though was very tense when she did. "Hey! Be careful! Don't do that! The Antennae are very sensitive, and I don't like them disturbed." She explained before loosening up. "Hmm... maybe a gift could be nice... but i'm not even sure he feels the same way, If he does, then a date for sure will follow up." She said back. She was still stuck in a small fantasy of her looking nice and pretty for once, instead of rugged.

[1:16 AM] Da Big Fluff: "I wonder what gift he would like? Maybe flowers, or a poem..." Millie leaned her back against a rock as she pondered what Seed would like. Maybe he wouldn't care about the gift but the thought itself? "I'm sure you have a chance! You can do it!"

[1:21 AM] NethaEmerald: "Flowers is a good idea. Simple for me to get and hard to mess up." Nyrandisa agreed. "Having a chance is what worries me, though. I'm not even totally sure he feels the same way, so I can dream all I want, but it's not reality. I need to find out before things go further like that."(edited)

[1:57 AM] Da Big Fluff: "Well worrying about it won't make it better" She tried imagining Nyarndisa and Seed wearing cute stuff together and resisted the urge to squeal like a middle school child..

[2:04 AM] NethaEmerald: Those words struck very true for Nyrandisa. Upon that little revalation, the Jera responded with "You know... I think you're right. I am worrying too hard about things. Worrying too much about if i've come off as bad to Seed. Worrying too much about the, er... reveal? Worrying too much about what can go wrong. Perhaps I just need to take a breather and a step back. Just calm down and not worry. Perhaps things won't be nearly as bad as i'm making, and expecting them, to be." Offering a sweet, not blushing smile, Nyrandisa tilted her head a little, antennae moving just like Millie's bow did. "I think you've really helped me out here. But we'll see what comes of it."

[2:06 AM] Da Big Fluff: "Aww it's alright. I hope you and Seed work out!" Millie smiled with Nyrandisa happily.

[11:13 AM] NethaEmerald: Nyra laughed a little with a smile. "Thank you for youe vote of confidence. I hope it does too."

[10:06 PM] NethaEmerald: ==RP END==
