[semiopen] they had lights inside their eyes
Who: Shinoa and a few other people.
When: Half a post backdated to 4/14-ish, half a post after Graupera's battle (4/20)
Where: Capablanca
What: Jobs! Shinoa frolics in the wilderness, and spends a sober afternoon making boats.
Rating: Mentions of death? Will update as I go along.
A date with Mother Nature: Closed to Lapis & Setsuna (anyone who has existing CR with Shinoa can also drop me a line if you want to tag this!)
[The chef is certainly doing himself no favors; Shinoa would've dug something out of a trashbin for them in spite, if she weren't looking forward to exploring the wildernesses she hadn't had back home.
But this place has intact woodlands and peaceful rivers, bubbling with water clearer than she's ever seen from the soil- than she's seen in a long time, to be exact, but her memories of a time before the apocalypse are too far back to be really accessible. She's spending as much time fooling around as she is foraging, rolling in the grass and circling around the trees, and when she strips off her boots to wander into the shallows of a creek her face is one of an awed child's.
But eventually she settles down, so if you don't find her exploring you might find her in water up to her calves, trying to net some riverfish. Once in a while she skims the water with a horizontal swipe of her scythe and send fish flying everywhere. Most of them don't land where she wants to- on the bank where she can get at them- so there's a lot of swearing and flailing to catch the ones that're just flung further out into the river.]
Vessel of Hope: OTA
[They did this too, back home. It was very informal, because by the time the army ranks were what it had been before the apocalypse they'd seen too much death for those in power to feel like commemoration was necessary. (Not like Kureto ever would do something as thoughtful as commemoration, but whatever.) When people died in her company she'd see their teammates cluster in a secluded corner of the barracks, hushed and solemn around some kind of firelight, and she used to not understand.
She understands a bit more now, but she still struggles; the least she can do is start the firelight for the fallen who don't have teammates. It feels like the right thing to do.
Shinoa can be found down by the docks, seated in a quiet area and decorating boats. The boats she's using are evidently purchased (because she has as much craft skills as cooking skills- i.e. none). There're small piles of beads and paints around her.]
Oh- snap!
[She accidentally knocks a paint-pot over, and hastily sets it upright.]

[Shinoa stares curiously as she deposits the flailing fish in the bucket, watching it calm down immediately once back in water. Fish are dumb.
On another note.... Setsuna keeps touching her head. And it feels nice. Is this also a group bonding activity!! She wants to do it too!!
Looking away from the fish, she stutters a little before asking, awkwardly:]
Can I... pat you too?
no subject
Wh—
Naturally, such an expected request would surprise anyone! Setsuna's eyes widen this time, feeling his own face redden along with the girl's. He doesn't know how to react to it, although he doesn't feel bad about it or anything. It's just a little embarrassing considering that he's the older Hero... ]
Um... All right.
[ But if she wants to do it too, he can't see why not. Maybe it's her way of thanking him... So he lowers himself before her, kneeling on one knee so fitting for a Hero wearing the Knight badge. It's like he's interacting with a small princess. ]
no subject
She could've dealt with just reaching up for his head- she thought that was what they'd do- but Setsuna goes the full Disney knight, and Shinoa's eyes widen in wonder.
Scenic backdrop, birdsong, complete with cute knight letting Shinoa pet his head!!!!!! It's a real-life Disney movie!!!
She pats his head as requested, softly. Then she lets out a soft squeal, shuffling her feet on the spot.]
This is so cool....!!!!!
I knight thee, Protector of the Great River, Hero of Blanc! Ehehehe!
[On impulse, she turns the net in her hands around and taps his shoulder with the dry handle end. Then she turns away, dancing a few steps back to muffle elated giggles.
It is indeed like dealing with a tiny princess.]
no subject
THIS IS TOO CUTE FOR HIM. THIS LITTLE PRINCESS IS TOO PRECIOUS FOR LIFE. R.I.P. THREAD END.
No, okay, but he really is speechless for a while. He's just kneeling there with a heated flush across his cheeks. If anything, they might be getting more and more colorized. He'll be a tomato at this rate.
He doesn't know if he fits such an honorable title... But he'll do his best for her. He can play along. He wants to help her keep smiling and giggling like that. It's a very lovely sight. ]
Then... if I am, does that make you my princess?
is this a good end spot? :3
[She brandishes the net, sending droplets flying. Giggles a bit more.
Eventually the job at hand resurfaces in her memory and she lowers her net. She's rejuvenized by the skit, though.]
Hehe, okay- let's get back to catching fish?
