12th bushel | SOLACE! ...yes, I know what that means

[There's not much to Elly, it must be said. She's smallish, childish to many faults, with a head full of lush blonde curls and the appearance of a teenager. Her little heart is easily broken, and her confidence is easily shaken

Hey!

[ Guess who's rumbling towards Elly now! Protect your flowers... ]

Hey-y-y! Careful, you could get buried, there!

[worst_apple]

[FLOWERS COVERED. PROTECT WITH BODY!]

I'm not gonna get buried!

[rivercrossed]

[ Stops. Nearly trips over her own feet, but she looks down at Elly in protect mode. ]

I thought that too! I don't think it'll happen to you, or anyone anymore, but...

[worst_apple]

W-well... Maybe it'll stop snowing. I want to build a little house for the flowers. Don't they look lonely?

Hey, why don't you help me protect them?

[rivercrossed]

...How much do I have to do to protect them?

[worst_apple]

Ummmmm....

[That's not actually something she's considered yet. Give her a sec.]

Um...

UMMMMM...

If you'll sit on the bench over it, it'll help!

[rivercrossed]

I can sit down. I can do that.

[ And so she does, with a great sense of achievement. ]

[worst_apple]

Thanks for the help, Komachi~

[Cooing at the flower again~~~] It's so pretty.

[rivercrossed]

No problem.

Did you grow that? You must be really patient.

[worst_apple]

No! I found it! It did it all on its own...

[rivercrossed]

That's pretty lucky. It looks like it'll die easily, though. [ oh Komachi so tactful ]

[worst_apple]

A-ah.... w-what...??

[rivercrossed]

It seems kinda droopy...like a depressed person.

[worst_apple]

N-NO! I'm going to protect it. I won't let it get hurt. i won't leave it alone to die because of all the stupid humans, I won't!

[rivercrossed]

Hah, that's some dedication. Since this flower isn't a manifestation of a spirit, you should keep it safe. But you can't stay out in the cold, okay?

[worst_apple]

I have to protect it, though...
