Three Lights Amongst the Stars

Picking it up, Marisa takes a good look at it. "I guess that this will do." Taking the sack, she puts it around the cactus and begins to haul it back in.

[Sonanoka]

Sunny: Didn't she say a small one too? *gives a thoughtful expression*

[Beginnings]

"Ah..." Glancing at the small ones, Marisa scratched the back of her head. "I don't think I can spark one of those."

[Sonanoka]

The fairy quickly flitted over to the painful-looking thing, landed beside it, and began to work at yanking it from the ground, her hands mostly avoiding the quils by way of being tiny. "Heave..." With one final yank, she freed the tiny thing from the ground, bringing the majority of the roots with it. "...Ho!" With the point of resistance gone, she fell on her butt. "Ahah, I got it!"

[Beginnings]

Chuckling at the girl, Marisa picked her up under her arm. "Alright. Sounds like there are some benefits for being so tiny."

[Sonanoka]

Sunny: Eheh, it let me fight with oni, back when I was young! *grins brightly*

[Beginnings]

"Heh, I remember trying to fight with 'em... Those were the days." Sighing, Marisa glanced back to the east. "They actually had good fights. Rather good folk, once you got used to 'em. But never get into a drinking contest with one."

[Sonanoka]

Sunny: *tilts head* Why not...? Those are fun!

[Beginnings]

The human laughs at the girl. "I'm human. What makes an oni tipsy would kill me, after all. I never said you couldn't drink with them, though. Just never make any bets."

[Sonanoka]

Sunny: But where's the fun in that...? Where there's a will, there's a grave! ...That didn't sound right... Uhm... Ahh! Where there's a will, there's a way!
