Carter and Alisa || Pleasant interruption

[bless-the-goddess]

Carter gave a chuckle at her reaction. She just seemed to be absolutely charming didnt she? She seemed to be rather humble, perhaps it was just because they had just met?

“Really its all I can offer, after all. You’re the one taking time out of your day! Its not often that I’m able to talk to someone else involved with the church! It would be a pleasure to do so.”

[a-real-faith-deactivated2016010]

“W-well…” Alisa put a hand to her cheek in contemplation, placing it down right over her other. With both hands in front of her, she finally agreed and gave a nod. “Okay, then, if you really do insist, Carter. Thank you in advance!”

…She had found his light laugh to be quite charming, too.

[bless-the-goddess]

Carter couldn't help but grin at her for saying yes. “Anything for a lady like yourself!” More like anything for a pretty lady like her. Carter tried to throw away the boyish thoughts in his mind. She was a respectable priestess, and him supposed to be a respectable priest.

“Please, lead the way!”

Carter and Alisa || Pleasant interruption

[bless-the-goddess]

“I promise you, I cant be disappointed with any amount you’re able to show me!” She was going out of her way for just him anyway, how could he be annoyed with what ever she could show him? Carter gave a polite smile as she pondered the idea of being able to get everywhere.

“How about in return I buy you coffee?” There had to be somewhere on the islands that he could do so, especially if it were such a big place. It was all he could do for what she had agreed to do.

[a-real-faith-deactivated2016010]

Alisa gave another little giggle at his enthusiasm. He was just so polite! If she was able to, then she really would be honored to take him to every one of the islands, despite the fact that she was, as mentioned before, a bit rusty on the navigation and knowledge. 

“I’ll take your word for it, I trust,” she said gently to him, now beginning to go over the islands in which they could visit in one day, perhaps the main ones… At his offer, however, her eyes widened a bit at him in surprise. “Oh, y-you don’t have to, really.”

Her eyes go to the ground and she begins to fiddle with her sleeves with that warm smile of hers—she was much too timid to say yes, despite the fact that she did…

 bless-the-goddess:

“I’d like to think that he would of course.” He pushed himself from the ground, done with his offering for the goddess today. Carter had met father Nathan, but had never been to the islands himself. He hadn’t known that he had taken on a priestess in training. He turned back to the said girl.

“I hate to ask, but you wouldn’t be able to give me a tour of the islands. I haven’t been here before and I only just managed to get here.” He hadn’t got lost as such, but to navigate the islands were no easy task.

“Oh, but of course,” Alisa replied, giving a series of gentle nods. It would be the very least she could do for a friend of Nathan’s! And a priest at that. How exciting! “I’d love to help.  I recently just returned from Bluebell Town, so I may be a little bit rusty, but… I’m sure that we’ll be alright.”

She gave a little hum, a finger going to her lips and her eyebrows knitting as she looked up… “There are many islands here… I’m not sure if we’ll be able to cover them in a day…”

[bless-the-goddess]

Sofia and Carter|| You know him too?

Carter was sat near the altar of Mineral town church, shuffling through the many different papers and other assorted things involving the church. He paid no attention to the door that was creaking open, many people nipped in and out of the church. Perhaps it would be on of the many farmers, or Cliff. If he was lucky maybe even the long gone Dr. Trent.

When he finally turned around, a purple haired girl was stood, looking around the room inquisitively, if he recalled correctly, The dr.s fiancee had purple hair. The tiny child in her arms made no question about that. He could recognise Trent’s child easily and she was the spit of him.

“Excuse me, would your name be Sofia?”

[sofiadesaintecoquille]

Sofia walked up the steps, in absolute awe of the official looking building. There was a cross shape on the top of the building and the windows were beautiful stained glass.

She opened the squeaky wooden doors with little difficulty despite the bundle occupying her arms.

She heard a voice call her name and was delighted to see a man who she assumed to be the priest. “Thats NOT my name!” She smiled and walked towards him.

[bless-the-goddess]

Carter gave a nod as his assumption was proven to be correct. People from Norad were certainly rare, so it would be odd for it to not be her. Thankfully his dear friend had already informed him of his fiancee’s tick. “If that’s right then this little thing must be Bella!”

Carter had seen many pictures of the little bundle in the girls arms. He couldn’t help but coo at the small child, she seemed to be just as sweet as her father. 

[sofiadesaintecoquille]

Sofia giggled as Bella reached out to touch the priest’s face, coming up far too short. “Thats her name!” She smiled. “And you must be ANYONE BUT Carter?”

Trent had talked fondly about the priest even going so far as saying he always wanted him to officiate his wedding. They met every week without fail apparently.

[bless-the-goddess]

“That I am, I suppose that the doctor spoke of me as he has of you?” He couldn't help but coo at the little baby in her arms. The doctor was a god friend of the priests and his daughter was exactly the image of him, maybe the nose was different? 

Carter had heard all about his misadventures in Norad, including the black eye and split lip.

Carter and Alisa || Pleasant interruption

[bless-the-goddess]

“I think we all felt like that when we were going through the stages, I know I did! But I just loved the idea of just being able to help and guide people. That feels the best to me.” Although Carter followed the religion, he thought it less important than being a good person and a role model. Being a part of the church just seemed to help that.

“I know father Nathan to be a good man, you’re in good hands!” He couldn’t help but feel his freckled vheeks lift up into a grin as he heard her giggle. he supposed it did sound a little cliche, but was there much else to explain it as?

[a-real-faith-deactivated2016010]

At the moment, her impression on him was quite, well, in a sense, without a flaw. He gave the appearance and atmosphere of a generous man, a highly valued trait in their faith. It appealed to her—it made her feel quite happy.

“Oh, you have?” she asked, blinking a bit in surprise. Her smile widened a bit at the sight of his own grin; it seemed to be contagious. “I’m happy to hear that, and I’m sure that he’ll say the same as well.”

[bless-the-goddess]

[bless-the-goddess]

“Thank you.. I brought them in from Mineral town. I just came to see the goddess pond! Its extremely beautiful here!” Carter didn’t know if it was out of place to think, but ti was more than the goddess pond that was beautiful in the surrounding area.

“You said in training right? So you’re not fully fledged yet?”

[a-real-faith-deactivated2016010]

Mineral Town. She had heard of that place a few times—Nathan spoke of it just as much as he did other little villages and such. 

“I’m glad that you think so,” she replied with a genuine tone. “And, yes. I’m training under the head of Father Nathan. It’s all quite an enlightening experience. Typical it may be to say, but… I feel blessed.” 

She giggles softly.

[bless-the-goddess]

“Its a pleasure to meet you!” Carter moved his hand form hers to the bundle of flowers in his other. He plucked a flower from it and handed it to the red headed woman in front of him. “Please, theres no need to be so formal! Anyone that serves the Goddess can be considered a friend!”

He moved to the pond, placing the flowers into the water gently, one after the other. 

[a-real-faith-deactivated2016010]

Alisa blinked at the pretty little flower that he gave her, petting at the petals for a moment and giving a grateful smile. “Thank you,” she replied humbly, holding the small thing close to her chest. 

…Friends, he had said. That was absolutely wonderful! “Ah, I’m glad that you think so, then, um… Carter.” She began to watch as the flowers floated their way along and in the pond. “These are beautiful flowers.”

[bless-the-goddess]

Carter and Alisa || Pleasant interruption

[bless-the-goddess]

Her reaction to her finally seeing him was rather charming. She seemed to be a little bit in shock that someone had been around. Perhaps not many came to the church, he could understand that feeling often. She was definitely  priestess. There was no mistaking those clothes,

“Oh really, you’ve done nothing wrong… I assume you’re a priestess here? I’m Father Carter. From Mineral town.” he outstretched his hand to offer it to her, happy to see that his assumption was right.

[a-real-faith-deactivated2016010]

Oh, so her guess was right! She was absolutely thrilled, but she would be cautious about it, afraid to let it overflow from her in fear of perhaps, well, blatantly making him uncomfortable. 

“Yes, I am, actually, a priestess in training…” she said, smiling a polite little smile as she spoke with perhaps an overly-formal tone. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Father Carter. My name is Alisa.” 

Her small hand took his own bigger one, her hold gentle and delicate.

[bless-the-goddess]

“Its a pleasure to meet you!” Carter moved his hand form hers to the bundle of flowers in his other. He plucked a flower from it and handed it to the red headed woman in front of him. “Please, theres no need to be so formal! Anyone that serves the Goddess can be considered a friend!”

Carter and Alisa || Pleasant interruption

Carter was off to a Goddess pond on the islands. Whenever he went somewhere knew he always had an intention to locate and give an offering to it. He walked up to the spring, Flowers in hand, he was stopped in his tracks by a woman, who was doing the same as he intended to do. He waited patiently for her, a casual smile on his face as she continued to make her offering.

She got up from her place and looked to turn him. “Oh I’m sorry, I didnt disturb you did I?” His mouth curled up into a more genuine smile. She seemed to be dressed as a priestess. Carter always had respect for those who were so closely linked to the church. (Or anyone really. He wasnt one to judge.) 

[a-real-faith-deactivated2016010]

Alisa had been offering up strawberries for today, a certain number, four, five, she seemed so intent on simply giving them that she couldn’t really remember what was in her hands… She had actually just finished a prayer as well and was about to go up on her feet to leave, but once she stood up, she noted another presence. 

She put her fingertips close to her mouth, particularly surprised. “Oh, I—I didn’t see you there, sir,” she says, her voice trailing off a bit as she noticed his attire. It was one of a priest… Oh, did he serve the Harvest Goddess as well? Just the thought… She was already a little eager!

[bless-the-goddess]

Her reaction to her finally seeing him was rather charming. She seemed to be a little bit in shock that someone had been around. Perhaps not many came to the church, he could understand that feeling often. She was definitely  priestess. There was no mistaking those clothes,

“Oh really, you've done nothing wrong... I assume you’re a priestess here? I’m Father Carter. From Mineral town.” he outstretched his hand to offer it to her, happy to see that his assumption was right.

Carter and || Confessing your sins

Carter sat there in the confession box, This was normally a time he took for granted. Very few people ever came to the confession box, being in a small town, you could easily recognise someones voice, they all might as well come up to his face and announce what they had done.

So the priest used this time to think and wonder. He sat there in the box thinking of this and that, what types f flowers he should put in the vases around the church, what to do for the next festival. It was then that Carter head the curtain of the confession box open. For once, someone had decided to talk.

“Speak child and allow yourself to be freed.”
