I Would Do Anything For Bun (Elfnein, Saber)

So, they mean an ordinary rabbit, right?

[Dust keeps double-checking the quest app and the description it offers. He's met Haru, he's met rabbit-type Warmbloods, and the ordinary animal sort of rabbit still seems just a bit weird to him. But if it isn't one of those, this is WAY too weird, so he really hopes it is one...]

Catching him might be a real pain.

Farming for Experience (Momo)

[At the edge of a field freshly shorn of hay, Dust kneels, one hand to the ground. Kind of a pity he hadn't gotten to do the harvesting -- he probably could have done that quick and painless with a few sweeps of Ahrah. But maybe this offers another opportunity.]

What do you think about trying to turn the earth with some magic?

[ Momo looks up, her eyebrows raised, looking a little confused. ]

...Yes? Should I not feel that way?

[mithrarin]

[Dust remains crouched down even after his magic dissipates, hand half-buried in the churned earth. How to put this.]

You've just... adjusted really well, to being here. Not that it's any of my business, but I wonder what's going on in your head. If you really are handling it as well as you seem to be.

[ Once she's finished tilling her patch of earth, Momo sits back on her heels and wipes her brow with one hand-- inadvertently smearing dirt across her forehead a bit. ]

Well...? [ Her turn to pause and try to put her thoughts to words. ]

I suppose, it's easier for me to throw myself fully into the problem of what I'm supposed to be doing, how I can be helping the effort to stop the calamity that brought us all here... Than it would be to sit and worry about the implications of everything.

[ At night, when she's lying alone in bed, she does think about everyone back home, frozen in time, in danger of collapse, and worry whether everything will turn out alright. This whole thing is just... existentially bigger than anything she's ever dealt with or thought about dealing with. But, at the end of the day, if she allows herself to descend fully into that anxiety spiral, then she'll be of no use to anyone. And she couldn't bear to live with that.

So she puts on a smile, and shrugs lightly. ]

I'm a hero! It's what I do.

...If they had someone in mind when all this happened -- when they decided to reach for people who could help with this -- it must have been you.

[But she has a way of not making him envious. Somehow, when she says things like that, they don't irritate him the way other people's do. Maybe because she puts it as a choice, or maybe because she's straightforward and there's no nonsense about 'living' or 'just adjusting'.]

[Something to think about.]
