[ At first Nanako looks a bit curious, but.. then she giggles, just a little. Even if it's slightly weakly. ]

Is he trying to talk to you..? [ She's talking about Arco. ]

as_you_command June 30 2011, 00:30:37 UTC

Yes, although I have reminded him several times that I have no animal empathy. [ The man can deal with horses, to a point. Small woodland creatures from foreign worlds are flat-out impossible to comprehend. ]

junesoholic June 30 2011, 14:26:19 UTC

Maybe he's just so excited about it that he keeps forgetting.. Or maybe he just wants to talk to you really, really badly.

as_you_command June 30 2011, 16:46:18 UTC

That is possible. I simply do not wish to give him any false hopes.

junesoholic June 30 2011, 17:01:45 UTC

Maybe he can tell you what he wants to say in some other way! Like.. um.. maybe he can make a drawing..

... Can squirrels draw?

as_you_command June 30 2011, 17:31:24 UTC

That is unlikely. [ But no need to get her hopes up. Let her entertain such lighthearted notions; they would harm no one. ] --but I admit I have never tested this theory.

junesoholic June 30 2011, 17:46:47 UTC

[ Oh Guilford, that's enough to make her smile a little. ]

Maybe you could test it now! I'm sure he'd love to make a drawing for you if he can!

as_you_command July 1 2011, 00:30:29 UTC

I... do not have adequate supplies, presently. [ Not a lie. His pack is filled with a lot of things, but writing supplies were not among them. ] Perhaps another time.

junesoholic July 1 2011, 13:37:30 UTC

Hmm, maybe we can try when you're here in the village! I have some things to draw with..

as_you_command July 2 2011, 01:48:18 UTC

[ ...that was an invitation, wasn't it? He isn't so sure. Children are always so difficult to gauge because they are less likely to pick their words carefully in casual conversation. Often times such moments require many pauses to center their thoughts -- or so he has observed. He cannot properly recall his own time as such a young child, and his only positive experience in the past had been when he was tagging along with Cornelia while she visited a young Princess Euphemia. ]

[ TL;DR version: Guilford needs an adult. Some other adult. ]

I see no reason why an attempt cannot be made.

junesoholic July 2 2011, 10:00:05 UTC

[ Or a lesson Dealing With Kids 101.. Nanako just keeps smiling, pretty excited over this idea. ]

That's great! I really wonder what sort of drawings squirrels would make..

as_you_command July 2 2011, 20:46:35 UTC

I have no earthly idea. [ At least he's honest? Guilford looks around now, having lost sight of his uninvited companion. ]

junesoholic July 2 2011, 20:58:56 UTC

Hmm.. maybe they would draw other squirrels! Or squirrel houses! I know I've drawn our house sometime before, so maybe squirrels are the same.

[ She's honestly starting to give it thought now - completely oblivious as to Guilford's search. ]

as_you_command July 2 2011, 22:00:15 UTC

A tree, in other words. [ Except that isn't where Arco lives... is it. ]

Forgive me, little one, but I must find him before he gets too far. [ If he lost sight of him before they got back to town, he's not going to be able to sleep in peace. ]

junesoholic July 2 2011, 22:04:23 UTC

O-oh, no, that's okay..! Please make sure mister squirrel is alright!

as_you_command July 2 2011, 22:40:00 UTC

I will. [ It's the least he can do for Viola, now, after all. Even if the little bugger just likes to scamper off and leave him wondering... ]

[ After another moment of consideration, he thought it best to not see as if he was blowing her off (even if he was, in a way). ] I shall make arrangements with Mr. Seta to bring Arco over at a later date.
