It's complicated. [ the topic of subject delta is still pretty sore to her, even if it has been a little while. ] I never knew my "real" father, I don't think I ever had one.

[ she shuffles over to pick some of the mushrooms, tugging them out of the ground with her flippers, before shuffling back over. ]

I had a father of sorts, he was probably the closest I ever had. His name was Delta.

[This certainly feels like a complicated subject-- he should probably consider it a testament to the bond they formed during the blizzard that she's telling him at all.

Since she's opening up, he might as well offer a token of information also in kind.]

... yeah? Sounds like he was important to you. [He catches the use of past tense.] I had parents, once, but not anymore. They... haha. Let's just say they turned out to be 'dog eaters' of a sort, too.

[notyourbloodymessiah]

That always seems to be the way of it.

[ that's what happened to her mother, after all. and so many before her. she's gone ahead a little bit, having a bit too much fun finding and grabbing mushrooms. like a scavenger hunt! ]

I'm sorry that... whatever happened, happened. [ she's not one to pry too much. she worries she's already said too much already, even without much context. ] Is that why you said you didn't want to go home?

[friendlyflower]

Heh. That's part of it. My 'parents' stopped being my parents a long time ago. It's more that there's just no place for me in that world. [This is said very matter-of-factly.] At least here, I've got something to do. Things I can accomplish. [He picks another mushroom and sets it aside.]

... And don't think you have to pity me. I don't want it. Sometimes, this is just how things work out.

[notyourbloodymessiah]

Most people don't take such things in stride. I probably wouldn't. [ she didn't, even. more mushrooms for the basket. ] Besides, if you've found purpose here then your family doesn't matter.

Oh, um. We're going to sort through them later, I'm guessing?

[friendlyflower]

Yep! Hee hee! [... Somehow, that may not be 100% convincing.]

... Anyway, enough about all that! It's another beautiful Winter day! How are the new Guild accommodations?

[notyourbloodymessiah]

Not bad, all things considered. I'd forgotten how much I missed sharing. [ having her own space was. never a good thing. ] The rooms, I mean.

[ she's dragging the basket over to a rather large bounty she's found all the while. ] Between you and me, yours is a bit nicer.

[friendlyflower]

Obviously. I busted my stem to get mid-tier accommodations. [Even before that, he had to be the one to take initiative on the roofing project.] I guess if you ever get tired of all the roommates, you can come crash at my place. Sometimes. If you ask nicely!

[notyourbloodymessiah]

I suppose you don't have an arse to bust. [ this is a comment made with zero forethought whatsoever. can seeds have butts? more at 3. ]

Would snacks suffice as a tried and true sleepover offering?

[friendlyflower]

Pff-- ha! [That gets him, but 'arse' makes him laugh even more. He nearly drops all the mushrooms he's collected.]

Hee-- sure. I'll take snacks.

[notyourbloodymessiah]

[ well, now that he's laughing she's got to laugh to! she's not even sure what they're laughing at! ]

Any preference on the snacks? A favourite berry I ought to know about, that sort of thing. [ eleanor scoots over to grab a mushroom that fell from his bundle. ] My bribe must be most perfect, or I shall never enter your lair.

[friendlyflower]

Aw, shucks! Since you asked so nicely-- spicy stuff is great! Ever had spicy malasadas? A good Tamato Berry? Though I don't mind regular ol' sweet snacks, too. [All he does is eat hot chip and lie.] Got any favorites yet?

[notyourbloodymessiah]

You know, I've never had spicy food before. [ she tilts her head to the side. ] Maybe I'll have to try it. But as far as favourites... maybe the hot pot will end up as that. Not really tried enough.

[ no spicy food and for what. girlish whimsy? ]

ready to wrap?

[friendlyflower]

The more time you spend here, the more you'll get to try! [It's something, at least, to keep one's mind off of the endless paths in front of them.] I'll look forward to learning what your real preferences are... hee hee.

works for me!

[notyourbloodymessiah]

Heh, me too. [ it's a nice thing to focus on. ]
