Fourteenth Ink Drop [Action]

[chiisaichou]

[It's close to sunset, and the sun is hanging low in the sky, coloring everything with a soft, golden-red color. Deep within the forest, a little sprite had been working all morning up until this point. There's some rolled up parchment around her, which she's picking up right now, as well as a few pots of ink and scrolls. Miyabi's glow is a bit of

[It's starting to get dark out, and Brook hasn't seen you around the house. So just gonna be hailing you over the journals]

Miyabi-san? Are you coming back to the house this evening?

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

[The voice startles her, definitely. Not the fact that it's a voice, but the voice of someone she knows. Plus...didn't she bury her journal in the snow before she started working!? Bah, at least all her things were put away already... Even then, her voice is a little shaky.]

Ah, Br-Brook! Eheh...you startled me~ [She blinks and then looks out over the sky, kind of noting just how late it really.] Oh, no, I didn't mean to stay out this long!! Mm, I didn't even clean the house, or get food for dinner...

[She sighs, defeated. Looks like she's going to have to impose on her pirate friends again.] I had planned to return home after Master Mori dug it up from the snow, but it seems I have to intrude on you all again...I'm very sorry. B-But I'll be sure to help with dinner, if Sanji-nii permits! Luffy needs to eat more vegetables, anyway.

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

We don't mind at all, I assure you! Ah, and don't fret too much over the vegetables. Typically the Captain just gives his share of greens to either Chopper-san or myself, unless Sanji-san manages to hide them particularily well.

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

Yes, but...

[Eh, what can she do? It's not like she can say much when she already agreed to stay for the night. And they were her close friends. She just hated making Sanji worked more than he had to, she wasn't deaf to how he sounded in the journals a small while ago, the poor thing. But she grins, and looks awfully devious at the last sentence.]

Ah, I see~ Well, I'll take it upon myself to dice his shares of vegetables, then! I;ll make sure their small enough that he eats them, but still just as tasty~ And if that doesn't work...there's always the option of holding him down and shoving them down his throat! ♥

[Don't worry she's kidding. ...Maybe.]

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

[Not that he can tell. You've been taking lessons from Nami, haven't you?]

T-that sounds so harsh, Miyabi-san! Dicing them up should do just fine, I would think... perhaps.

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

[No, she's naturally been a little bit of a devil. You have to be, or else the boys will pick on you and demons around the forest will munch on you, too. It pays to be a little ruthless.]

Oh, I suppose. But the latter option is always open. [She giggles, and smiles. She loved teasing her friends, it was just so much fun, but her next sentence is a little more sincere.]

I should be home fairly soon, I just need to drop off, ah...some things. Back at Salt and my house. I shouldn't take too long, it's relatively close. Though the trek to your home might take me a while...

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

It would be a much shorter journey for myself! I can meet you at your house, if you would like. The quicker you get to a hot meal the better, neh?

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

If it's not a burden, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you very much, Brook. I can at least meet you half way, though. Or close enough to.

[Voice]

[skulljokelol]

Not at all! I will meet you shortly, then.

[Voice | Action]

[chiisaichou]

All right, see you then!

[And after she journeys home, shove all her scrolls and paints into her room - tucked deep away so no one could ever find them ever - Miyabi will tsk softly at all the dust lying on the floor and make doubly sure to pick up and clean the house later tomorrow.

She exits the house and quickly bounds off to meet her friend. He's easy enough to spot, what with that giant puff of hair. Miyabi grins upon seeing him, also standing out in the darkness like a firefly.]

Good evening!

[Action]

[skulljokelol]

Evening! Have you tended to your business?

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

Yes, I'm all set. Thank you for coming to get me, Brook. I'll make you some nice hot tea to warm up when we get home. You must be cold.

[Action]

[skulljokelol]

Ah, I bundled up nicely before I came out, but I am not one to deny a spot of tea! [Offering his hand for you to hop onto. Shall your vehicle home be his afro or his hand?]

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

Oh, good! I'll be sure to make you a nice hot cup of tea when we get home, then~

[Miyabi considers, blinking and climbing onto his hand first. Oh, what the heck? That puff of soft hair looks warm, and it is rather cold out. So yes, she'll be hopping up onto--ohogod bouncy. Pff...brb, Miyabi's going to laugh like a lunatic as she goes boing! upon it. ♥]

[Action]

[skulljokelol]

Yohohoho! Just be careful up there, neh? [He can't replace his afro if something happens to it. OH, and he's worried about you too, of course!]

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

[Can't answer, having too much fun. She really should have done this days ago, sob. She won't do anything to it, Brook, don't worry. Miyabi's just having fun bouncing on it and crawling around. When she's calmed down, she'll just settle herself in nicely.]

Ehehee~ ♥
