>{[ Celeste. You awake? ]}<

"Mm..?" -> The Pine sits up slightly and grabs her husktop after hearing it go off, rubbing her eyes a little before responding "I am n☽Ow.... Did y☽Ou need s☽Omething, Elnric?"

[windy-trickster]

So you just haven't gotten much info from Mioruu, Celest? :[

- @ddizzyalternia

"Mi☽0ruu kn☽0ws this area like the back ☽0f her ☽0wn hand... She'd kn☽0w if it was made fr☽0m s☽0mething she'd be able t☽0 find here." "But... The fact she d☽0esn't kn☽0w what it's made fr☽0m w☽0rries me a l☽0t..." "That means we c☽0uld be in actual danger."

[windy-trickster]

What seems to the problem Celest?

-> The variant blood takes an oddly long time to respond to you, her gaze fixated on the knife resting on a nearby countertop. She sighs, looking back at you. "Have y☽0u ever g☽0t that sense ☽0f dread bef☽0re? The feeling that s☽0mething, at s☽0me p☽0int, is g☽0ing t☽0 happen?" "I'm feeling that right n☽0w. And I hate kn☽0wing there's n☽0 ☽0ne me and Mi☽0ruu c☽0uld run t☽0 f☽0r help."

[windy-trickster]

A knife??? :[ ohh gosh !! And Mioruu didn't know anything? Man, she's usually very cluey about all the things she finds out there!

- @ddizzyalternia

"N☽0." "She didn't kn☽0w a single thing ab☽0ut the knife. I th☽0ught she might've made it...? But n☽0, I d☽0n't even think she super knew what the material was either..."

[windy-trickster]

Oooh, yeah, kinda out in the middle of nowhere... But I mean, it doesn't seem like trouble has come around in the form of anything BIG! Far as I recall the whole appeal of Mioruu being out that far was that nothing could usually last trying to creep too close to hive... Heard that from a lil birdie,

I mean, surely if something bad were to happen, it would have happened MUCH earlier, right? <:]

- @ddizzyalternia

-> Another pause. Longer, hesitant, as if she's mentally debating with herself about something. Eventually tho she pulls out... -> A knife? "I f☽0und this..." -> Her voice dipped, soft and low. "I... I asked Mi☽0ruu ab☽0ut it but... S-She's never seen this bef☽0re. Said the material was s☽0mething she'd never be able t☽0 aff☽0rd... ☽0r even find!"

[windy-trickster]

You don't know? Oooh :[ did you, want your space? Need someone? Maybe, a journal to note stuff downnn? :[

- @ddizzyalternia

"It just..." "B☽0thers me s☽0metimes t☽0 remember that we're basically sitting quackbeasts ☽0ut here..." "That we're s☽0... Vulnerable. I just- I d☽0n't kn☽0w. I'm always w☽0rried s☽0mething is g☽0ing t☽0 happen and we w☽0n't be able t☽0 get any help..."

[windy-trickster]

Something bothering you?? Oh no! :[

What's wrong, Celest??

- @ddizzyalternia

-> She's silent, her eyes trailing off to the side. "...I d☽0n't kn☽0w. I really d☽0n't."

[windy-trickster]

Can I please see my girl Celest please see 🙏

How is she,, girl are you alive and well, please tell me you're sustaining yourself well and not withering to dust !!!! (Not like Mioruu would let that happen anyway)

- @ddizzyalternia

"I've been alright f☽0r the m☽0st part..." "Just... I d☽0n't kn☽0w. S☽0mething has been b☽0thering me..."
