*Some time passes until you wake up, he has been every now and then going out the hollow trunk but always coming back. As of right now, he seemed to be chatting with the thin air*
yeah i know but-- but it's good, i know it!
... no i won't leave it, it needs me okay?
*He spoke in calatian, but there wasn't any answer that you could hear, he hasn't noticed you waking up*
- @youngtraveller-link
*Kuroi yawns and stretches like a cat before poking its head out to stare at you*
...friend. You. Hi. Who are you talking to?
(shortened)
*she purrs, then cocks her head in question before booping his arm*
yeah, i'm fairy *He boops your paw too, he doesn't fully understand what you want to say?*
*after a moment, she scoots back, wiping the dirt as she went before the form melted and formed a happier looking Kuroi* ...what happened...? Kuroi does not remember, but it feels better now...
*He stared for a moment confused, but then he smiled*
kuroi! i was worried about you!
*He came closer to hug you, but stopped himself a bit hesitant, he doesn't want to spook you*
*Kuroi smiled and happily accepted the hug* Sorry it scared Brother Fairy Bug...
*He hugs you* no no i- i should have known better! i shouldn't have yelled at you... i am the one that's sorry
You didn't yell at it... *Kuroi mumbles, melting into the hug*
i kind of did and even if not i'm sorry... *He hugs you a bit tighter, oh he shouldn't have gotten too mad at you... you must had a reason for the frogs, that's it! probably you had something against the town? he's not sure... but you're not bad!*
...you shouldn't be... It disobeyed its moms....
no no no- it's fine, you didn't do anything wrong... i also did that, the disobeying my mama, shouldn't be here really...
still, point is, you didn't do anything wrong, alright? you're good
No... It isn't... Mama says causing chaos is not good... Mommy put it in the void because it wouldn't stop... Mom said it would be that long... *It tears up* ...did moms forget about it...?
no i don't- i don't think so... we can go search for them and you can ask them? i will go with you, and if they did forget you then.. uhm... i can still be there for you?
*it nods, rubbing its eyes* Kuroi wants its moms.
and we'll find them! don't worry okay?
*it nods slowly*
okay... *Still hugging you he gently brings you back down to sit, he still needs a bit of a break, then they can continue! Preferably away from that town*
*Baps and Tree come out of his hat again and jump back to you*
*Kuroi perks up, its pupils turning to stars* Frog Tree! Frog Baps!
*At least you seem back to normal? That's good!*
*He takes out the green potion bottle again and takes a few sips, he has another one to spare which is great considering he doubts going to a town soon*
*Kuroi looks at the bottle* Why do you always drink that?
mm? it's a green potion, gives me energy and fills back my magic, i drink it to not be tired
But you haven't been doing any magic, have you? *It looked confused*
you're right... but, my magic still gets drained? somehow? i don't know why *He's as confused as you, yeah he has a tendency of channeling magic without noticing even though he doesn't exactly know how to use it, but this was slightly different*
Huh. That's dumb. Kuroi should give you some.
*a small tentacle loomed towards you*
*He looked at the tentacle, but hid his fear at it, yeah those things aren't... the friendliest, even if they are part of you, in some sense?*
i don't see why? i mean- i'm okay! as long as i drink these potions i won't run out of magic, no need for that
*Kuroi nods slowly and the tentacle retracts*
Okay. What happens when you run out?
i don't know? i have never let it fully run out... i just feel more tired *now he's curious, so far it's just tired, can something else happen?*
What do you do to make sure you don't run out?
well, if i start feeling too tired i just drink the potion? it isn't too difficult... as long as i drink it just in time
No, the potion. How does the potion not run out?
ah, the potion, right... it does run out! i just take small sips so it last for longer, i have another bottle but i will need to go for more when i don't have more
How do you get more? *It floats in the air on its stomach, kicking its feet and resting its head on its palms with Baps and Tree on its head*
i buy it from people, usually at towns... but i could find other places? wouldn't have to buy if i knew how to make them but! for now i don't have to get more
Why don't we go back to the town then?
ahm... i prefer not? don't want to put you in risk, i think the people are mad at you...
...why.
*Kuroi turns around, now "laying" on its back and staring down at you* Why would they hate it?
uhm, well... *How does he say this?*
you still gave a bunch of frogs dark magic, the frogs destroyed part of the town, some people got probably hurt, and normal people get angry easily
...it did? *It blinked, then moved in too close to you*
Where did the frogs go? Did Frog Baps and Frog Tree go with them? Wait, no, Frog Baps and Frog Tree are on its head! Wait- no they aren't... Where are Frog Baps and Frog Tree?
you don't remember? *He's starting to get used to you apparently not following personal space rules, it was still a bit unnerving though*
the frogs stayed at the town, i had to move them to a safe place? they might go on their own back to the pond... wait right where's baps and tree? they were just here?
*Kuroi looks at the ground where they lay upsidedown* Oopsies. Kuroi forgot. *it picks them up*
Sorry Frog Baps and Frog Tree.
No, Kuroi not remember. That means Kuroi must have done a bad. Kuroi is bad. Have to do good things, or it can't go see Moms.
*Oh there they are, at least they seem to be fine*
hey it's fine, it's not... too bad? just, don't give dark magic to frogs again? please?
Okay... It won't do that anymore. Is that a good thing?
yep, that's a good thing, you already did one!
*its pupils turn to stars* Yay! If it does two more good things it can go home! It can see moms!
yeah! i could help? uhm, later, but i could!
Okay! It's gonna be so good moms will come find Kuroi and be so proud of it!
i'm sure you will!
*He stretches his arms up in the air, he feels a bit too rigid but maybe is for carrying you*
*Kuroi watches you before setting Baps and Tree in a small foliage near them and dropping on top of you*
oof- *You're not thaat heavy, but still!* okay... *He shouldn't be surprised at this point*
*then something just, adorable happens. You watch in real time as Kuroi gets just sleepy. Its eyes get droopy, the one on its chest closing first. Its hair falls in front of its face a little and it gets a little pouty. The hat that was perpetually floating and in pieces settled down and curled around its middle. Its pupils turn a soft purple color and form wobbly circles. It curls up on your chest like a cat and its small hands grip your tunic as it makes little fist quite like a baby before it just closes its final two eyes and falls instantly asleep*
... *Well, break time it is, he sighs as he gently puts a hand on top of your head, you're not bad, he knows it! You just need a little bit of help, he can do that!... Everything else can wait, his friend should be a little bit more patient, maybe he falls asleep in a moment, his friend is becoming loud*
*when you wake again, Kuroi is gone*
