SYSTEM MESSAGE: "Lil Fern" has sent their location
[A voice message comes through. Theres heavy breathing and the sound of running before it cuts off]
@quick-flick
Oh shit- 'm coming, kiddo-
[Outis quickly goes to find them]
[Fern is hiding, peeking out to look around every now and then. There doesn't seem to be anyone around. Its eyes dart all around them, a small dagger in their hand.]
[They keep their voice quiet]
Hey- you okay?
[They hadn't heard zim approach and they jump a bit, turning and flattening their ears. They growl a bit but stop when they see its just Outis.]
It's just Outis, I'm safe, kiddo
"Sorry-" [They apologize immediately.]
No no, no sorries in this family, fern
[Fern cautiously looks around and puts their dagger back on their hip]
Are you okay?
"I-I think so....theres was a lady and she just....didn't feel right"
...what lady
"Uh....she had dark hair and had lots of gold stuff"
Name..?
"Uh...somethin with an M?"
[They try to think]
"Marcelene...? Maybe...? I ran away from her- it felt wrong."
[Their face goes blank, a dim red glow from zis eyes starting]
"Outis....?"
[They scoot closer and tug on his sleeve with concern]
I'm going to kill her I swear- not letting her take more family.
[They tug zis sleeve again, more insistantly]
[They look down at them, anger at Marc fading when ze looks at them]
[They make a small whine. They don't sound scared, just concerned for zim]
[They sigh and take a deep breath, red fading]
[Fern looks concerned. They tilt their head.]
Sorry..
"..'ts okay" [Fern scoots over and cuddles next to zim, much like how they did as a child.]
