Bell Ringing Farmer

I Can Knot [Angela/Candace]

[Smiles to Angela over her shoulder on her way to the work table - hoping she looks properly reassuring.] N-no problem at all..! Um— now let’s see— can you hold it up again? I’ll see what colors I have.. um..

[She pulls out a wicker basket full of various colors of yarn, sifting through them - and setting several colors aside. She lifts a few balls that are close to a match, holding them up to see how well they match after all.] Okay.. not this one… not this one… this one’s pretty close… yeah, I think this one’s probably the best. [Smiles.] We’re all set..!

[Sets the yarn that’s a match down on the table and takes a seat on her stool, holding her hands out.] Can I see the scarf..? I’ll show you what I usually do when this sort of thing happens..

#sorry it's on the shorter side!

*holds the scarf up without a word, watching Candace sift through all the different colors. She nods along as Candace compares each one to the scarf in hand, then grins when she settles on one*

Yeah, sure. *hands her the scarf, then cups her hands behind her back as she watches, fascinated with what Candace was doing*

((WELCOME BACK BBY)) *Observing Angela's farm from a small distance, taking some notes quietly on a clipboard*

((Ahh thank you!! :D)) *Was walking up the path from Harmonica Town back to her house when she sees Gill taking notes, with his back to her. Grinning rather devilishly, she slows her pace and sneaks up behind him, until she's about a foot from him* Boo!

#I'm going to be down the cape today but I'll still send lots out :D

Sanctuary? *frowns, pressing her lips together* No, not that I know of. *realizes what he’s talking about as he glances down the street, in the direction she had been looking* Oh, that! Erm, don’t worry, it’s nothing important! *smile returns* I’d love to come inside, though, thanks!

[Hesitates for a moment - his eyes darting a final time down the street in the direction she’d been looking - before nodding in slight uncertainty. While he by no means minds the farmer’s company, he can’t help but wonder if it really is nothing important.] Of course. Please, come in.

[He takes a step back, holding the door open wide for her and inviting her inside with a small bow of his head.] Would you like some coffee, perhaps? … Or a cup of tea?

*takes a few steps in, looking around with wide brown eyes. She hadn't been inside his house in quite some time, and she found her eyes fixed on all the fascinating things he had in his house, particularly the shelves full of books... She snaps back to attention when he asks a question* Oh, uhm, either would be great, please!

I Can Knot [Angela/Candace]

Oh—

[Sets the broom against the wall before hurrying over to the place where Angela collapsed, crouching down to see if she needs any help. After a moment she leans back, looking over the tatters of the garment - her face falling in dismay the moment she realizes what has happened.]

Ohh no.. how awful..

[Candace heaves a sad sigh, shaking her head slowly as she too stands up to look over the yarn.] I’m so sorry, Angela.. I’m very glad you’re alright— but I know how awful it can be to damage a piece of clothing that’s precious to you..

[She extends a hand tentatively, touching the yarn - before humming thoughtfully.] It may be salvageable, yet— I’m glad you brought here.. Follow me, okay? I have some yarns that might match these at my work table— I can try re-knitting and substituting any length that’s too damaged to use again, okay..? I’ll do my best..!

#un spooling #no problem!! :D

*quickly wipes her eyes with her arm, feeling a bit silly for being so upset about it* Y-yeah, it's pretty important...

*looks up from the tattered mess to Candace, her eyes bright once more, her sad expression residing* Oh! Okay! *does as she's told and follows the tailor, clutching the scarf in to her chest as she walks. A shaky smile spreads over her red face as she listens* Candice, that's so great, thank you! I knew coming to you was a good idea!

[Angela/Wizard]

Unchanged in the center… *repeats his words in a barely audible mumble before smiling back up at him* No, I like that, that’s nice! It would have been much more boring if you just said well!

*her smile only grows when he says her name, and she’s happy he remembered* I’ve been pretty good. *looks down the street for a brief moment, as if checking if anyone’s around, before turning back to him* I hadn’t seen you in a while, so I figured I’d stop by and say hello, if that’s alright.

Is that so? [He nods graciously.] Well then. I am glad that I said it, after all. Sometimes it is difficult to know … which is the appropriate course to take in the art of conversation.

[His small smile fades slightly as she glances down the street - following her gaze as though trying to find whatever it is she might be looking for. When he sees nothing, he turns his attention back to her.]

… I do not see the harm in this. Would you … like to come in, perhaps? [Another quick, furtive glance down the street.] Is there … someone you are attempting to evade? Do you require sanctuary?

Sanctuary? *frowns, pressing her lips together* No, not that I know of. *realizes what he's talking about as he glances down the street, in the direction she had been looking* Oh, that! Erm, don't worry, it's nothing important! *smile returns* I'd love to come inside, though, thanks!

average-angie:

*grins widely when he opens the door, tilting her head up to look at him* Good afternoon! *Whether she didn’t hear his question or she’s ignoring it is unclear, but either way, she goes on to say:* How’ve you been, Wizard?

[He opens his mouth to respond and leaves it hanging open in confusion at the lack of response to his question - his head tilting to the side slowly. After a pause, however, he responds to the question she asked instead.]

… I have been much the same. Much of life goes on around me, leaving me quite unchanged in the center. [Small smile as he straightens up again.] … But I prefer it this way, so I can not complain … [Thoughtfully:] It might have been easier to simply say “well”, in fact. [Shakes his head.] And you? How have you been … [A small pause, before he latches on to the memory:] … Angela?

*pushes the door of the tailors open and steps inside, looking around with a distressed look on her face*

[Humming to herself as she sweeps the shop, a small smile on her face. She looks up at the sound of the bell over the door, smiling at the customer who’s come in - only to have the smile fall rapidly at noticing the distress the farmer seems to be in.]

Angela..? [Stops sweeping, straightening up and clutching the handle of the broom nervously.] Wh— what’s wrong..?
