[ Y'ALL WANTED A POST FOR TREE~~FUCKING~~

COMMENT WITH SETTINGS I CAN ROLL WITH ANYTHING ]

[elbows him until he's at a more acceptable distance.]

Yeah, so where do you live?

I'm not telling.

Usually...

[ looking at before carefully taking a seat on one of the boulders. ]

Oh-- I have something for you.

[ reaching into his pouch and rummaging around in it a bit-- and then pulling out a weird looking fruit. ]

One of the emissaries from the neighboring kingdom brought a basket of them.

I did say I'm not exactly typical.

[blinks at the fruit, though, and holds out a hand for it.]

You said you came to check on the forest?

If you did a little research you could find it. We're not exactly unknown, having a successful company and being around for so long. But you may as well take me to your house now, because I can also do my research.

I have better things to do with my time than look into you.

[fffffffine though i guess we're. going. to my house.]

Yes. I expect it is unnecessary, with you here.

[ hands it off easily. ]

Those are banapples, grown from the Queen's private fields. I'm surprised she would part with them so easily. She seems to be as taken with them as she is with --

[ me, he wants to say, but that's probably not something Tsuyukusa's not interested in hearing about. shaking his head ]

Are they still startled? The spirits?

Yeah. It'd be different if you came to hunt or something, but actually seeking us out? That's strange.

[hmmm do i peel it 8|a takes a bite with the peel intact, then makes a face. RIGHT. PEELING IT.

raises an eyebrow, too.]

So this Queen's trying to woo you with exotic fruit, and you decide to come bring some for me?

I've had banapples before. I wasn't certain if you had had them and thought you might like the opportunity.

[ also tbh they're probably coated with

aphrodisiac

or love potions

or something

because queens are crazy man BUT YOU SEEM OKAY SO ]

I hadn't before. It's pretty good...

[pauses about halfway into it and looks at Sigmund oddly.]

Did you eat any of these before you came? The ones she gave you, I mean.

No, I haven't.

[ ... ]

Why do you ask?

Then you'll continue to be oblivious to what goes on around you.

She reaaally wants into your pants.

Which I guess is better than poison.

[just. a rude noise.]

[ .... ]

I suppose there's something on the banapple?

An aphrodisiac. A pretty strong one, too.

[sniffs at it, contemplative.]

In it, too. Maybe she had it introduced to the plants when they were young. I'm actually pretty impressed.

[oh well gonna finish eating it.]

[ and yet you're still eating it... ]

But not strong enough to affect you, I take it?

Oh, it is, but the banapple's good and I have self control.

[ UHM

why would you eat it if

most don't

what

just gonna sit and watch him eat it, kind of puzzled ]

[polishes off the rest and then scrapes a shallow hole in the ground with his bare foot, depositing the peel there and burying it]

[ clinging to him, she absolutely stinks of blood and the cold metal smell of machinery under the scent of food, in the end healed but unmistakable.

and she just. sobs on him, with a huge sense of relief ]

We did it-- we did it--

It wasn't as stupid as his original plan. He was going to go to Seele to bring me back to life like he never existed, but he reset Verloren instead. Ayanami was dead, but there were still pieces of the god that had to be repaired.

[ how interesting... ]

How are you feeling?

I'm glad to hear it. Then let's go.
