Who: oikoumene and dritte_tochter Where: The Plane's forest When: Doesn't matter! What: Rider is grumpy because of the Tarot Plot (indirectly) and decides to destroy the forest. Or something. Warnings: None?
Suiseiseki had been dealing with her own insecurities back home, but the forest on the Plane always seemed to offer her solace. The trees were wide and wall, bastions to the smaller plants that grew beneath, and she enjoyed sitting in their shade, or climbing through the branches to look out over the expanse of stars, as though she were in a dream. It wasn't the great Tree that spread through dreams, but some of the oaks and maples were mighty in their own right and she was quite small
( ... )
At first, Rider thought that the trees were talking to him with a particularly odd lisp. It wouldn't exactly surprise him, considering the other oddities of the Plane that were getting just a bit too long to list
( ... )
He was standing. On. Her dress. He was standing on her dress. Suiseiseki looked absolutely mortified at the close proximity of this giant who was currently ruining the dress Father had made for her, but her righteous indignation over his abusing the forest took precedent and she glared up at him, looking ready to murder.
"This is not a training ground, desu!" she accused, shaking with anger at the pain from the trees. "You're hurting the plants! You're being awful, desu!"
He didn't understand why the little girl was upset. Seeing that she was mad, though, he moved his foot off of the corner of her dress. Rider figured that she would be staying around to argue.
"Anything is a training ground! Not that a woman would need to know it, but it matters even less for a child. You should always take care when you are alone! And how is it that a child can come unaccompanied to this Plane? It seems a mistake!"
Ah, but the plants. That was a even more curious thing to say.
"But the plants will grow back, young one. They don't mind it," he said, laughing.
To his credit, Suiseiseki had no idea what misogyny was. She wasn't a child, though, and she let him know her displeasure with a swift kick toward his shin, calling out her watering can and waving it menacingly at Rider.
"I am not a child, desu!" she shot back, glaring. "And they are too in pain! Maybe I should cut off your leg to see how it feels, desu!"
