@abyssmail​ asked: ❝ SNOWBALL FIGHT! ❞

“You want me to throw snowballs at you?” Ozen gave the courier a long, flat stare from under the rim of her wide, stone hat. “You might die.”

HONESTY 3: Whom do you admire, and why?

Ask My Muse | ACCEPTING

Srajo visibly perked up at a chance about to talk about their favourite person. [I admire Lord Wakuna greatly.] They signed with excitement. [Lord Wakuna is wise and knowledgeable. He is kind and trustworthy. I didn't get to know him until late in my career, but I am happy I had the chance. He is everything a White Whistle should be: strong, dependable, smart, determined, curious, and a friend to fellow delvers. I only wish I could've spent more time with him.]

The courier girl, Caerul, visited Seeker Camp again today bearing letters and small parcels for all of the residents, myself included. She passes through quite often, and I’ve begun to notice her running deliveries in the lower layers regularly since I ran into her provoking weepers. It’s always interesting to see her, since she’s unusually cheerful for someone whos delving career has been reduced to running errands for other delvers, especially one who has to lodge at Seeker regularly. Ozen doesn’t exactly promote a lively atmosphere here. Errands or not, her services are something I’ve begun to grow rather fond of. Outside of Bondrewd’s exclusive supply routes, I can’t think of anyone in my time who could ferry important small packages with such speed and efficiency; and I’m not sure the girl fully realizes exactly how valuable her services truly are, but until she does I’m more than content to exploit them for timely deliveries of niceties that keep the larders better supplies than Ozen is willing to stock.  She’s still rather keen on my attention, and I can’t quite tell if she’s just star-struck like some of the others or if she’s got some kind of special attachment to me, like I did with Ozen when I was a kid. She’s nearly a grown woman by now, but with all her flustering I can’t help but see her as a little kid looking up to me, and after all this time I’m not sure how I feel about being seen as much of a role model.

But, I shouldn’t belittle her. She’s earned enough recognition to be taken seriously, even before that incredible relic. Perhaps I can leverage her eagerness to please to get a chance to examine it more closely? Though I hesitate to overly bother her lest I make that situation even, and spending a number of hours examining her back in detail might make the poor girl faint. Still, its potential alone drives me wild. While the drawbacks of flight for traversing the abyss upward are immediately obvious, surely the guild must recognize how immensely powerful such a tool is for rapid, safe descent? To be able to ignore uneven terrain, cut days or even weeks out of routing around obstacles and gaps, not to mention maneuverability in combat situations. How exactly is it that she has been allowed to retain possession of such a promising tool, while still being relegated to administrative deliveries? I understand that the relic is fused to her skeletal structure, but it would hardly be the first time a delver has been quietly disposed of to reclaim a powerful artifact. It’s possible that the relic would be destroyed in so doing, but this doesn’t explain her continued low rank and lack of professional exploitation. There must be a story behind this; both the acquisition and being allowed to keep it while serving as a mere courier. Perhaps I’ll learn someday, but in the interest of not straining the friendly relationship we’ve had so far, I’ll have to be careful not to overly pry. We all have our own secrets to keep, and mysteries to unveil at our own pace. Time will tell what the future holds for this girl, but if she’s anything like she seems, I don’t expect her to sit still while that future happens to her.

“On a scale of Tim to Caerul, how reckless are you?”

I keep saying I’ll draw something other than my own OCs and then just... not doing that ;;>~>

Whoops  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“I’ve been waiting for a parcel of spices. You didn’t lose it, did you?”

@abyssmail​ from abyssmail

With her free hand, Caerul pulled a timepiece from one of her pockets.

“58 seconds off,” she groaned.  “I free-fell most of the way, but maybe my launch trajectory was off...”  She put the timepiece away and got to her feet, offering the sack to Lyza.

“I hope this is enough mustard! I bought out the stock everywhere I could find it.”

“Pretty close, I figure. Faster than most of us on a good day, maybe not on a bad day.” Lyza shrugs, grimacing as she remembers how fast Ozen could descend in pursuit of her when she was angry.

She takes the sack with some trepidation, and opens it up to inspect the contents, carefully scrutinizing the bottles. “Yep, that’s mustard alright. The good stuff. Well, the only stuff they carry, I’m sure, but it’ll do.”

Lyza grins smugly, satisfied with her prize. “Do you know why I had you bring me mustard, my clever little courier?”
