T'e world must be endin’!”[/color] Danni gasped, fanning his face. [color=E948FC] “Doncha worry too much. I'll only abuse it a little bit. Can't keep me away once you open t'e door t'ough so look out!”[/color] Danni laughed as they settled in the dirt, spreading out and watching Leah fiddle with her little stones. [color=E948FC]“‘onestly, I'm not sure why deat’ is such a big deal for people. It's not like it's t'e end, ya know? Benji was a ghost for… over a decade, maybe? But t'en Papa, Pops, and Maxie regenerated ‘is corpse and body slammed ‘im back in and now we're a big ‘appy family. It's not like it ‘as ta be permanent. Or ya can just vibe a a cool ghosty.”[/color] Danni scrambled to sit up as the sunflower grew, eyes wide as saucers. He looked between Leah and the plant a few times before gently brushing his fingers across the petals. His chest felt heavy looking at the flower. [color=E948FC]“Tellement joli. Je suis un peu jaloux.”[/color] Danni whispered before he beamed at Leah. [color=E948FC]“T'ats so cool! I t'ought you only did stuff wit’ rocks, t'ough. You ‘oldin’ back ta keep t'e ot'er teams from knowin’ all your tricks? But ya said you don't care, so why would ya ‘ide stuff if ya didn't care? Or maybe you said t'at so t'at nobody would t'ink ta look further past what ya told everyone! No, no you're confused ‘bout t'is too so I guess you really didn't, don't care about it. Yeesh, t'e team is not gunna like t'at. Do you really only care ‘bout t'e contest for Princess and Beanie? Not ‘bout showin’ t'e world ‘ow great ya are?”[/color] [color=ff9a4f]”Slow down like, a lot for a second, damn.”[/color] Leah stared at the flower and then at her runes. [color=ff9a4f]”Agatha gave me these the day before she packed up. Haven’t had many chances to think about them, and I barely understand how they work.”[/color] [i]I’m barely understanding a few things.[/i] [color=ff9a4f]”I looked stuff up on my phone over the break. Can’t really get them to do much, and usually when I do, they don’t do anything for a long while after. I didn’t know that would work.”[/color] [color=E948FC]“Oh, Aggie gave t'em ta you! She musta known ya ‘ad at least a little spark of magic in ya. Makes sense, makes sense.”[/color] Danni nodded thoughtfully. [color=E948FC]“T'en t'ey probably ‘ave a long cooldown ‘cause you aren't trained in magic. ‘Ave you talked ta Mads? She ‘elped me wit’ my dragon egg from Aggie and knows a whole ton ‘bout magic! She'll get ya all started up!”[/color] Danni offered. [color=ff9a4f]”I told her, yeah. But everyone else is busy too. Including her..”[/color] [color=E948FC]“Pssssh, nah we'll grab ‘er right after we all talk ‘bout t'e teams ‘cause she won't ‘ave any plans yet. I gotcha, no worries! We'll go on a little library adventure together today.”[/color] Danni decided. [color=E948FC]“So ‘ow you plannin’ ta talk ta Princess and Beaniab'bout not carin’ ‘bout t'e contest? Bot’ of t'em are pretty intense abou’bout it ya know.”[/color] [color=ff9a4f]”If they’re doing it, I’m doing it,”[/color] Leah answered. [color=ff9a4f]”That simple. I’ve given it everything I’ve got so far, it’s no big deal to keep doing that.”[/color] [color=E948FC]“Oooookay! T'at sounds good!”[/color] Danni said after a long pause. He popped to his feet again, dusting himself off. [color=E948FC]“Well, ya wanna go grab Mads? Idk if Vicky's comin’ out right away ‘cause Couls asked ‘er ta stay behind but we don’t wanna get left out of discussions and if we box ‘er in right off t'e bat, we got ‘er all ta ourselves!”[/color] [color=ff9a4f]”Sure, I guess. If she’s not busy.”[/color] Danni stared at Leah like she'd grown a third head. [color=E948FC] “Okay, okay. What is wit’ t'is…”[/color] Danni waved all of Leah. [color=E948FC] “I don't know ‘ow ta put t'is but like, smallness? Timidness? T'at t'in’ you do when ot'er people ‘ave ta be involved in stuff. It feels like you're trying not ta take up space or somet'in’. T'is whole “if she's not busy” stuff is wierd AF. So sure, let's say she is busy when we got find ‘er. Are you just gunna leave?”[/color] [color=ff9a4f]”Leave and do what?”[/color] She asked. [color=ff9a4f]"People have stuff to do, Danni. I mean, shit, it’s not [i]that[/i] important.”[/color] [Color=E948FC]“Leah, you know like you can make plans for the future right? Like, let's say Mads ‘as a super awesome magic ritual t'in'y she ‘as ta do. People, and you are included in t'at, can t'en ask if she ‘as some time tomorrow or like, set a date and time ta meet up about it, but it kinda sounds like you don't do that? Like if someone is busy, t’ats all t’ere is ta it.”[/color] Danni put out there. [color=E948FC]“Like yeah physically, you're big and strong and stuff. But like, you kinda seem ta go outta your way ta be smaller t’an t’at? You know people will make time for your interests right? Like, people enjoy your presence and are ‘appy ta do stuff wit’ you if you ask. You know t’at, right?”[/color] Well, that felt fucking weird to hear. [color=ff9a4f]”It’s not that important,”[/color] She said, again. [color=ff9a4f]”I’ll ask.”[/color] She didn’t see what the big deal was. Leah and Madalyne didn’t talk much, she had other shit to do besides being around Leah. But… Okay. Another long pause.[color=E948FC]“Oooookay, we'll [i]we're[/i] gunna go ask right now!”[/color] Danni went to lock arms with Leah, like he did with any of gaining friends, and found her already a solid step away. [color=E948FC]“No touchy, gotcha, gotcha. Just follow me t'en!”[/color] [color=ff9a4f]”Yeah. Sure. And don’t do that again.”[/color]
