⤷ ゛@godefies : (extends his hand and what comes out but a little rat that he saved from getting stepped on in battle) take this thing.
❝ wuh ..... pierce .. ! ❞ he's basically shoving it into her hands now, cause for odette to look nervously over her shoulder. ❝ i ... I already have so many .. ❞ poor creature gazes up at her with those large, wet eyes. ears are flattened upon furry head - so, so .. sad. it makes her own expression shift to mimic, a pout crossing her face. buck teeth stick out over bottom lip, brows furrowing together.
there was no point in even attempting to act like she wouldn't take this rat in. she always did - every single time.
it's brought closer now, odette nuzzling her nose into its snout in a show of affection and solidarity. ❝ you are safe with me, little one. ❞ soft squeaks, servant girl looking over her new friend and to pierce. he stands there as he always does; stiff, intimidating. she knew him differently. here he was, delivering lucky rodents to a wondrous home in the castle, destined to have the best mother fate could supply them. ❝ he says thank you. for saving him. ❞
she smiles, lashes fluttering in amusement. ❝ - and for the seed you gave him. ❞
pierce grunts in acknowledgement as odette situations the rat into her curly mat of hair - the only way she knows to reliably sneak them into castle walls. they'd have her head, caught sneaking in more vermin. ❝ I best go. if they find me ignoring my chores.. ❞
she rushes forward. a hug; quick, concise. arms momentarily wrap their way 'round pierce before she scurries the other direction, hardly giving him time to ruminate on what's just happened. odette waves, appears quite cheeky. ❝ goodbye! you know how to contact me! ❞
