isleofavalon | Razor's April Open Post.

[ Mona misses her Hydromancy. When the fresh crisp rains plaster along her tiny frame. Collecting itself unto the shapes of her hat, slipping past its ribbons and finely woven shapes. The woman below it looks unto her clasped hands having collected bits of rain within. She pears into it, attempting to draw the power of her astrolabe into working. However, the magic of her world does not answer to her, and instead all that remains. Is of the water cupped within the palms of her hands.

She misses how simple it were, the fresh bits of rain were a wonderful choice for scry readings. No less were the fresh melted snows of Dragonspire. Yet the empty rain, that did not answer to her magics nor reflected the lines of the sky. Seemed to give into her yearning answers. A subtle sigh escapes her lips, and she is surprise to hear a voice come from behind her.

Adjusting, she turns allowing for the water held within her palms to fall unto the floor. ]

Oh - ? You are.... Razor no?

[ Mona questions, acknowledging that the other was someone she has heard of - if because of Lisa herself. ]

You are here as well..?

[ He nods in response to it. It's not surprising to him when people know him, especially those from home. Especially those where his experience or knowledge of them is in passing, and often without a name attached. He brings his hand to his chest as he looks around. ]

Yes.

[ His familiar appears at his side, a wolf, ghostly and large. Razor reaches over to place a hand on his head and then looks towards it, then back to her. ]

A little while.

[ Not very long. ]

Just got here?

[ He asks it because he understands that's the polite thing to ask. Plus, he hadn't seen her around out here. He glances behind him, back towards the city. The population, the noise, the energy of the place. It was not something he actively enjoyed. So, despite the weather, he was going to enjoy his time out here. ]

Woods best.

[ It's so matter of fact. ]

[ The wolf garners' a curious look from her - was this a representation of Andrius? She kept it in mind, and was glad that for whatever reason. The wolf itself was not exhibiting signs of aggression to her. The familiar that she had, rested beneath her hat. Flitting its tiny wings below it as it rested by her hairs bow. As if looking like a bow itself beside her pigtail.

She still did not know why a Lunar Moth, of all familiars. However, it did not talk to her and so she found no reason to question it. ]

Yes, I got here not that long ago. I am surprised to see more familiar faces as time passes too - but I suppose it makes sense. All of our fates are intertwined.

Hmm... Are you hunting... ? Or?

[ Mona herself came out here.. To look for food, she was use to living off the land when she were younger and during her time in Mondstat. Living off of the mushroom from her home. ]

[ Razor's hand rests intently on the wolf, and it stands firmly at his side. It doesn't flinch or move at all. Instead, it periodically peeks up at Razor, and looks fairly calm otherwise. ]

Lots from home.

[ "Lots" was really only a few that he knew. But he had seen some people around, too. Even the ones he didn't know, he could tell they were from his home if they had their Visions on them, not useful as they were. ]

Yes. Hunt. Need meat to eat.

[ And whatever else. Given, he has done plenty of quests now and could probably, reasonably, just go buy food. But he liked to hunt. ]

Taste best.

Oh good! Fate would have it ordained that I come upon you at this moment, perhaps we can help each other in retrospect? [ Mona all too readily focuses on the subject at hand. ] I of course, am not adamant at hunting but I do have a good hand on some of my magic. It will be of good use to the both of us. [ Even if it was useless, in terms of reading the future or the stars. The rain was good as well, it meant she was pre disposed to using it as she willed. ]

[ He blinks, watching her and nodding when she speaks. Even at things he doesn't fully get. He's fine with that, because he does understand the idea of helping each other. And that doesn't sound so bad. ]

Okay. Help. What magic?

I can manipulate water - the same way I use to be able to manipulate it on our world. With some issues though - that said I am more attuned to Light Magic? Strangely enough, however all I've been able to do with it is create... Star Lights.

[ Mona had yet to touch the surface of Light magic, and currently had been trying to find books about it. Her familiarity with water made her focus on that element, however her stronger capability actually relayed on her manipulation of Light.

To showcase her ability, she covers her hands together. Thereupon small flickers of light shine through beneath her fingers. Inevitably when her palms open up, a small tiny star of light floats there within her hands. ]

Do you know about Light Magic?

[ Probably not, but she is not one to judge ones intelligence without at least asking for the others opinion upon it. She is open minded, and welcome to know anything of what others may know beyond her. ]

No. No light. Uhm - talk to animals. And...use lightning like home.

[ He forms the words carefully as he answered. But, as usual, it's fairly straightforward. Animal magic was so simple for him. It was about as straightforward as magic could get. Just talk with a clear mind.

Elemental Magic hasn't been as easy to grasp because sometimes, given what he can do, he uses things like fire or water instead of electricity. There's more to it than he had ever thought. Still, he hoped that he had lightning was clear enough as far as magic type. ]

Teachers, though, right?

[ He thinks he had heard of them, although he hasn't done any schooling personally. ]

Oh You can talk to animals? That's incredibly useful. I'll keep that in mind! [ Mona taps a finger at her chin. Though he is right about teachers, she is still presently seeking one to indulge her on Light Magic. Hopefully, in the future one day. For now, she is okay with just making beautiful star lights. ] That means we can have a fairly good hunt today then, yes? I am not good with hunting but... Hm.... If you need me to collect herbs and those sorts of things. I am your girl! However, the mushrooms and berries are so different here...

Yes. Good hunt.

[ Although he doesn't really try to talk to an animal he's hunting because it seems weird to him talk to something he's just going to eat. So he's careful not to. But, he does use this to get hints as to where to go and where creatures are hiding. Listening to whispers and being quiet in general helps. ]

Different. Some bad. Squirrels say.

[ He can help with this. ]

Can tell - not to eat?

Perfect! [ Good everything seemed to go according to plan. Mona was ever excited and her voice most light and lofty. Each of her hands were clasped together as she imagined all the delicious and good foods they could find on the hunt or in their exploration. ] I am not the most amazing cook, but I do know how to throw as much as I can into a meal from what we get. So if you show me some herbs, and berries... Then I can start preparing a meal... And then you can hunt maybe?

Or do you prefer your food simple? [ Actually that was a thought Mona pondered upon, she knows a bit about him and his upbringing. Understanding that living in the woods as he had, would make him not ordinarily susceptible to cooked foods with flavors upon it. All the same, she wasn't sure what sorts of things Razor liked. ] What do you like to eat?

Favorite meat and potato.

[ He's fairly simple with his tastes, but he understands the plants around him. He knows what they do and what they are here for. He doesn't even really mind eating berries or herbs, either. It'd be an entirely different conversation had she proposed vegetables. People here seem to want him to eat those more than he'd like. ]

Herbs and berries okay. I can show you.

[ He looks earnest. ]

Some poisonous. Careful.

[ He takes a few steps forward and waves his hand for her to follow him. ]

Meat and Potato? So simple! [ Mona finds that comforting in a way, she too were rather simple. Even if she enjoyed lavish dinery, Mona in the end always ate very simply. Or rather, it was all she could ultimately afford. ]

Hmm, what ones are poisonous? I'll use my journal and write them down.

[ Mona pulls out from a bag at her shoulders a journal. She is no Albedo, but she will attempt very hard to draw & write in detail the items here. ] So you asked the animals here to tell you which ones are safe and which aren't?

Like best! [ Simple is nice, he notes. It makes things so much easier for him, too, when living off the land. He starts forward and nods. ]

Animals like to share. Know best. Trust.

[ He knows that for sure, too. They do always know what's best. They do always know. Plus, everything they've told him was safe has been so far. So that's when they'll come across an interesting looking plant with a small red veins through it. ]

This bad. To eat. Touch ok. Some touch is bad. Makes itchy.

Oh, I want nothing to do with any of that. Frankly, it took forever for me to get use to what was edible and what wasn't growing up in Teyvat.

[ Mona lets out a huff. ]

I don't have a basket though huh.... I guess maybe we can use my hat...

[ I mean shes done before because she can do those sorts of desperate things. ]

Learned fast. Wolves taught. Had to so don't get sick.

[ It was something he was genuinely good at. He may not be able to read or write...or form complicated sentences, but he can identify most poisonous, dangerous, or disgusting to taste plants. It's one of the most important things when you're an always hungry person like Razor tends to be. ]

Learning here. Know many. Still learning.

[ He's listening. ]

Animals say most won't kill. Most just make sick or itchy.

Oh good to know!! Okay what about this one.

[ Mona had already peered into the forest nearby and as he spoke she plucks what seems to be a few berries from a berry bush. The berries were PINK - of all colors and she hands them over to Razor questionably. ]

Eat. Bitter, not poison.

[ He didn't actually really like how bitter they were, and may have underestimated how much so. But, since they're not poisonous she can determine for herself how much she likes them. ]

Bitter can be good... Though if its too bitter raw then maybe not to eat so readily! It would make for a good stew... I love a good mushroom stew.

[ Mona states and then points to a few as they walk along the forest. Waiting for equal answers as they explore a little bit here and there. ]

Mushroom stew...Meat, too? Never had.

[ It sounds good. Of course, there's few foods that don't sound good. So he's curious what it entails. Is it mushrooms with rabbit? Or just... mushrooms. He doesn't know if he'd like just mushrooms. ]

[ Okay she chuckles a little bit from that. ]

Must you only eat food with Meat in it? I will keep that in mind then okay. Lets collect a bit more and then we can be on our way? We have a lot already...

[ Mona says pointing at her hat where she stuck all of them inside of. ]

Meat favorite!

[ Obviously. He's made that almost painfully clear. ]

Will eat lots, though. Like...all but green.

[ Not an exaggeration. It's been very fortunate that things here are easy to obtain. And work isn't too hard. ]

Okay. Little more.

[ And he shifts to start looking around again. ]

[ Well they found quite a bit of stuff to cook with, an Mona is very well pleased. Looking over to Razor whom she wondered if he had went about hunting for the meat he wanted.... A part of her grimaces at the idea of having to skin an animal - but even shes done that when she was desperate enough. She just... Doesn't wanna live like that, ever again. ]

Alright we ... Can head back, I think the sky is nice and clear so the walk back will be easy.

Alright, let's go back!

[ He smiles brightly and starts heading that way. ]

Got lots.

[ He knows this forest well and was glad to have helped her. ]

Oh, you look excited and happy? Did you get everything you wanted, and saw?

[ Mona coos softly, seemingly impressed all the same. ]
