77. [Video/Action]

[It always seems like autumn in the woodland town of Ecruteak. But when it's actually autumn, the colors are mind-blowing.[Heather might not be one of those 'let's walk quietly in nature and be alone with our thoughts' types, but she can appreciate the beauty of the world when she sees it! Which is why, accompanied by a small chorus of footsteps as ( Read more... )

[hasn't seen the video post yet! but he is walking by juuust in time to see that GIANT TOGEKISS, and he does a quick double-take]

-- oi! When'd you get a Togekiss?

[action] foolishwren September 11 2011, 03:59:47 UTC

[She looks over at Kaito, angling her head away from the FLUFFY GIANT OWL CUDDLES and grinning.]

Just now.

[action] bakaitoukid September 11 2011, 07:15:30 UTC

[leeeeaning back to look up at the giant fluffy owl thing, letting out a low whistle]

I didn't know they lived in the wild around here.

[action] foolishwren September 11 2011, 07:40:39 UTC

[The Togekiss turns her head. It's hard to smile with a beak (especially when the beak is mostly obscured by FLUFF), but she manages it. HELLO.]

[Heather's own smile, meanwhile, grows a little more subdued. Not unhappy... this, after all, isn't quite as much like the disappearance of Phoenix... or god forbid, the awful winter night when her own father's departure had been confirmed... She's sad, but... well, it's bittersweet. At least Snake left her something to remember him by.]

They don't.

[She nods to Sunny, and also to the reclining Torkoal.]

The cashier in there just handed them to me...

... They, uh... belonged to a friend.

[action] bakaitoukid September 11 2011, 07:52:01 UTC

[Heeee picks up on her shifting demeanor, and understanding washes over his expression as he nods apologetically]

It was pretty nice of them to leave you a parting gift.

[action] foolishwren September 11 2011, 08:21:46 UTC

[She nods, still smiling. Leaning down, she puts Sunny on the ground so that she can reach into her bag and dig for the box.]

Yeah.

[It made it better, somehow... especially knowing that it had been meant specifically for her. It was a surprise... she hadn't known that Snake trusted her that much... that she meant so much to him. Finding out now made her chest ache, both with pride and a little regret.]

[Locating the box, she pulls out the headband.]

He left this, too.

I'm just gonna... take care of all of it. He looked out for me more than once...

[action] bakaitoukid September 11 2011, 08:23:54 UTC

[His gaze flickers from the Togekiss to the headband, and his silly little lopsided grin returns]

'M sure he'd appreciate that you're returning the favor, Heather.

[action] foolishwren September 11 2011, 08:29:59 UTC

Yeah, I think he would, too.

[After a second's thought, she reaches up with the headband to tie ir around her forehead, Solid Snake-style. Sunny trills as she does so, stretching out her neck to nip gently at the cloth.]

[Heather gives her a pat, then turns to Kaito and spreads her arms.]

Whatcha think?

Do I look like I'm ready to kick some asses?

[action] bakaitoukid September 11 2011, 17:32:04 UTC

[thumbs up]

You look ready to kick several hundred butts.

[action] foolishwren September 11 2011, 17:48:02 UTC

Daaaaamn straight!

[... It's too warm out to keep wearing that headband, though, so Heather unties it and pulls it off for now.]

[action] bakaitoukid September 11 2011, 18:01:04 UTC

[snrk]

... who was it? Someone I knew?

[action] foolishwren September 11 2011, 18:32:56 UTC

Not sure... did you know Snake?

Old guy, bristly mustache, sounded like he'd been eating cigarettes for twenty years?

[action] bakaitoukid September 12 2011, 08:42:54 UTC

Can't say I've ever talked to the guy, actually. How long was he here?

[action] foolishwren September 13 2011, 02:04:37 UTC

About as long as we were... maybe a little less. I remember he arrived a little before the flood last summer.

[She absentmindedly strokes Sunny's downy plumage as she speaks.]

[action] bakaitoukid September 13 2011, 03:07:14 UTC

... haa. About as long as me, then.

[reaching out to pat the Togekiss too]

[action] foolishwren September 13 2011, 05:08:05 UTC

[Sunny twitters happily at the stroking, stretching out her massive head to nibble gently at Kaito's fingers. ... MUCH more gently than, say... Wren.]

Yeah.

... He was a really good friend of mine.

[If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have been able to make it to her father as quickly... not to mention the way he'd always taken the time to check on her and see how she was doing. That sort of thing seemed inconsequential at the time, but... it was really hitting her now.]
