🧙 WHO: Tohru and your character!
⚔️️ WHAT: A quest prompt, and a couple others
🕒 WHEN: Through July.
🗺️ WHERE: Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: None!

a. Helping the baby mossatees

( When she had heard that there were animals that needed help, Tohru hadn't hesitated to try to step in to lend a hand. Especially when it was something that she could do. While it's true that helping them was something that could supposedly help her, that... wasn't exactly the reason she was doing this.

She gently guides them forward, giving them a little push to help roll them forward towards the water. Her smile is bright, hopeful as she speaks to them in encouragement. )

There you go! Please, take care. Your parents are waiting for you.

( They can't really understand her. She knows that. But... she's cheering them on, anyways. She can't help but hope that they understand her feelings regardless. )

b. summer fever!

( As someone with healing magic, Tohru steps in to try to help those in need. She's moving to and from room, trying her best to provide whatever comfort she can to those who aren't feeling well. But, that isn't all she's doing.

She got a handful of teddy bears that she's brought in for the patients she does see. Each one is unique – designed differently with another color. Unfortunately, she runs out faster than she'd like, and she can't help but feel a little guilty when she does. )

… I'm so sorry. ( She offers quietly to the next patient. ) I ran out of gifts today. But, I promise that I'll bring something really special for you tomorrow.

c. training

( With how much she's been using her magic lately, she wants to try to get stronger. After all, her magic is still fairly weak. She wants to be prepared, just in case more people aren't feeling well, or... if there ends up being more fighting.

So, she's crouched down next to a nearby flower, a small ragdoll sitting on her shoulder in silence. It seems to be gently encouraging her – even if it's doing so without words.

The flower is slightly wilted – but, it isn't close to death, either.

She places her hands over the flower, brows furrowed as she focuses her magic on it. A warm light surrounds it, and slowly, but surely – the plant seems to become healthy again.

Her face lights up then, clasping her hands together. )

There! You seem to be alright now! I'm so glad...

[Ken shouldn't be surprised but he couldn't help as he gave a small frown.]

I see. It's the same for you too, huh? I'm sorry about your loss.

[Because while he might have met her, he knows a thing or two about losing a close parent.]

O-Oh, no! Those should be my words--

( She quickly bows apologetically. )

I'm so sorry -- I didn't mean to bring up painful memories...

[Well, he wasn't expecting that! As he took a step back, he puts his hands up before shaking his head.]

N-No, it's okay. I was the one who said it so you don't need to apologize. I'm just surprised you brought it up so calmly.

... Oh, really? I... suppose it must have been very strange that I was able to do that.

( She looks down then, smiling sadly - her gaze a bit distant. )

So much has happened then. It almost feels like another lifetime. But... I always have a picture of me with her, so in a sense - she's always with me.

[With that, Ken shifted his weight as he wondered what to say back. If only she knew what he did for his mother...]

You too? I shouldn't be surprised as it does give me some comfort in seeing her even if she isn't around anymore.

[Pause]

Although, I suppose it does motivate me to keep going as it helps me to going forward regardless of what happens.

( For a moment, Tohru can't help but stop at that before smiling. )

... I think that she would be so happy-- and proud, too-- if she knew you felt that way.

[There was a very very long pause on his end. If she only knew he done.]

You really think so? Because she never got a chance to really see me grow and especially after everything that happened.

( Tohru's expression falls for a moment then, looking rather concerned at his words. )

... I'm so sorry. It... feels like a lot must have happened.

( But, she's certainly not pushing him to talk if he's not comfortable with doing so. She's here to listen if he wants to, though. )

[In return, he shook his head.]

No, it's okay, there's nothing to be sorry about. Things just happen sometimes and there isn't much we can do about it.

[However, there was a pause before he continued.]

For better and for worse.

You're right, but... sometimes... it can feel a little less lonely when you have someone who's there for you.

( She... hopes that she can at least help him a little. It feels a little like he's carrying a heavy burden. )

[As Ken looked at Tohru, he wondered if he should be honest. While he just met her, she seemed to be someone he can trust. With that, he gave a sigh.]

You make it sound like it's easy to open up to people when you don't know how they'll react.

... I understand. It can be scary to talk about things that are so personal to us. Opening up to others means letting people see our innermost secrets.

But... if you can find someone you can trust to do that, then in a way -- it almost feels like we're saved by someone - just a little.

( If anything, she speaks from experience -- from the things she's seen from others, and what she's been told. )

[Ken didn't say anything as he took in a deep breath in. While it might come across as him being annoyed, it was anything but. If anything, her words certainly hit close to home.]

It sounds like you know some experience, don't you?

[After all, he wasn't ready to open up to her. Not yet anyway.]

O-Oh... yes-- I do.

... I got incredibly lucky at home. I've been surrounded by so many friends who have helped me more than I can say.
