*blinks* Huh. Maybe... *runs a hand through his hair* I wonder...
Then again I could be wrong. Maybe she's got some idea for shiny clothes covered in dust, like those rocks with mica in them. *she shrugs a bit at the idea* It seems like something she'd do.
Haha, I never thought about it like that! But my clothes also get dirty really easily because I'm working at the forge all day... I guess Evelyn doesn't get that...
Or maybe she was hoping to get you away from the forge for a little while or something silly like that.
Chelsea lets out a chuckle as she opens her fridge, reaching for the freshest bottle she could find.
"Fourteen, nee... Heehee, then I suppose he has no excuse." She thinks back to this past Halloween as she pours the milk into a glass. Once she's done, she slides the glass over to Collette, before pouring one of her own. "Still, I suppose sweets are delicious...."
Removing herself from the kitchen area, Chelsea returns the bottle to its spot in the fridge, before leaning onto the table, across from Collette. She casually takes a sip. "Does he really not eat anything else?!"
She takes a sip of the drink without thinking then makes a face. "Y..yuck!" she can't quite hide her reaction as she drinks the milk. "Sorry I just can't -stand- milk," she says with a shudder. "Even though I want to grow bigger it just isn't worth it. "He'll eat other stuff he just doesn't like it much. But he won't even -try- veggies," she shakes her head in exasperation clearly not aware how similar her own aversion to milk is.
*face turns a little red and he shoves his hands in his pockets* Yeah, don't remind me, hehe...
*She laughs at his reaction* Oh well you are a blacksmith, guess it makes sense to wear something to show you work with all those shiny metals.
*sighs* I'll try my best, Collette, but you know how Evelyn is...
You're right. Just remember you could end up with sparkly pants again. *she winks at him and can't help but laugh*
Meeting up with a new friend
Laughing, Chelsea nods.
"Un! Sounds like a plan!" She giggles again, standing up straight and moving over towards her kitchen area.
"Speaking of the visit... Would you like some water?" Thinking back to her past visits to girls' houses, she assumes it must be customary for food to be served. Hopefully, drinks would be enough. "Or tea...?"
She chuckles again at the girl's comment regarding her family. "How old is your brother, anyway?" She asks, with a grin.
She smiles happily at Chelsea's response and nods in response to the offer. "Sure I'll have some water, anything but milk is good with me!" she declares.
"Oh, my brothers fourteen, just two years younger than I am," she says rolling her eyes. "The way he is with food you'd think he was younger."
Meeting up with a new friend
Leaning against her tabletop, Chelsea replies with a nod.
"Mmm... it is pretty nice, sometimes..." She glances around the large room, empty other than its furniture and the girls inside.
"...It can make you feel rather small, though." She continues, "...And lonely, some nights."
Sighing, she leans against a nearby chair. "...I'm used to it, though, so 's okay."
As the girl's hair comes loose, the farmer giggles, raising a hand to cover her mouth. She points to her own hair, moving a strand behind her ear. "Do y'live with all men? How d'you deal with that?"
"Well just send me a letter if you ever want me to visit, you can get a break from living all the way over here and I can get a break from the men," she suggests with a warm smile. She quickly re-pins her hair, flushing slightly and shrugs a shoulder. "Oh you get used to them after awhile, it's just annoying my brother won't have anything but sweets. I mean why can't he just eat his vegetables?" she asks shaking her head with a combination of fondness and exasperation in her tone.
Meeting up with a new friend
Grinning, Chelsea releases a quiet hum as she is passed the basket, happy about this turn of events. But she doesn't look inside; The risk is tempting, but her friend had promised something good, and Chelsea trusts her... So her word is good enough. Besides, a surprise is a surprise, and the offer of food in itself is kind enough.
So instead, she follows her friend inside, carefully placing the basket atop her small, square center table in her small, square single room.
"What brings ya all the way out here, anyway, Collette?" She asks, moving her hands to her hips. "My farm is a long ways away, after all...."
Grinning, she adds, "Not that I'm not delighted, o'course."
"Oh I thought it would be fun to spend some time together, and you'd made the journey to where I lived, why not do the same now that I know I have a friend there? It's not as fun having my cooking myself, even if I could eat it all," she laughs as the basket is placed on the table, looking around at the house. "It must be nice having a house of your own, if it doesn't get lonely. Living with Rusk and Dad is fun, but sometimes I want a place of my own," she says with a shake of her head, causing a few extra hairs to come lose, which she seems not to notice.
Meeting up with a new friend
Chelsea returns her friend's hug, with a laugh, before directing her to the house.
"Well, com'on! Com'on... Did you walk all this way? You must be exhausted...!"
Opening the door, she smiled, holding out her hand. A small, playful pout had formed on her face. "Y'sure you don't want me to hold the basket? It must be heavyy~!"
She follows her friend inside, finally nodding and passing her the basket. "Well I guess you're right, it is kind of heavy," she hands it to her without even thinking of her other motives, shrugging lightly as she steps inside.
Meeting up with a new friend
The morning had been a busy one for Chelsea: Not only did she have tons of work to do, but she had all of these unresolved feeling bottled up inside. Looking up at the sky, she wiped a bead of sweat off her brow with her arm. The sun sat centered between the clouds, beating down above her. Was it noon already? She’s been so busy working and thinking that she’d barely had time to eat.
Suddenly, she heard a noise by the edge of her field. Glancing over to the side, she had to peer through the shining light and the falling leaves to see her friend’s figure. After identifying it, however, she grinned.
“Collette!” She exclaimed, waving her entire arm in welcome. Setting her watering can down beside her newly watered eggplants, she skipped off towards the girl, before spotting the basket. Her eyes grew wide as she pointed at it, rather hopeful of what might lay inside.
“Is this…?” She asked, cheerful curiosity evident in her tone.
Her grin widens as she looks at her friends farm taking in the sight of all of the plants she is growing. 'Wow wonder what I can cook with all of this,' she thinks to herself as she looks around.
"Yeah I brought lots of food with me. Rice balls and sandwiches, and some stuff for desert too but no peaking at that til later or my metabolism won't be happy!" she teases as she pulls her friend into an awkward one armed hug.
Meeting Up with a New Friend
She steps outside the door of the restaurant, relieved that the weather is nice. 'Good, this means traveling will be easy,' she thinks to herself. She then sets off in the same direction Chelsea had left and grins when she reaches her farm at last. "Hey Chelsea, I brought some more food for you to try!" she calls out by way of announcing her presence, picnic basket in hand.
Haha, that /does/ sound pretty boring! Well, tell her I'd love to meet her sometime, then!
Sure will! But make sure Evelyn doesn't take any of the food I'm cooking for her outfits okay? Thankee!
I've been good! Real busy at the forge, you know? How have you been? Ah, do you have a friend who likes forging, too? I'd love to meet them!
I'm not sure, she didn't mention it but she did want to meet other people in town. She said that she doesn't have anybody like Marian or Sophia or Evaline there. I wonder what kind of place that is. Sounds almost boring but she was really nice so I guess it's okay.
Hi I'm Felicity, are you the chef around here?
You've heard of me? I'm not -exactly- the chef you, just the sous chef. My dad's the real chef but I'm his apprentice.
Hey, Collette!
Gaius! How have you been? I need to introduce you to someone soon. She's one of my friends and you can tell her all about how you can spend so much time forging stuff.
Try My Cooking!
"Oh!" Chelsea laughs, nodding. "Well then... Thank you for telling me in advance!"
After glancing outside, however, she spots the sunset. Realizing how late it was getting, she redirects her attention to Collette.
"Aah... It's getting late, nee?" She says, with a smile. "I should head home, since it's a long walk away... But would you mind if I came over again some day? For another visit, maybe? I would love to try more of your food...."
"It was no problem" she grins waving cheerfully at the girl as she departs. "I'd love to cook for you again. And maybe another time we can meet each others friends?" she suggests "It would make things real interesting huh?" her grin widens. "Thankee for trying my food. I'll make it even better next time!" she declares enthusiastically.
Try My Cooking!
Laughing, Chelsea sweat-drops.
"A-Are you really all so strange?" She giggles. "I mean, everyone's strange in some way or another, but... to such an extent? ...And who is this girl?~"
She shakes her head. Oh it's not that weird when you get used to us. But yeah, Herman and Sophia speak in opposites. So if she says she really loves something, it means you shouldn't give it to her. One day she was telling me how much she loved shots and spending time at the apothecary," she shakes her head a bit at that. "It's gotten her in trouble sometimes when people don't know her well."
