Do you remember the calm (Sharaku)

She whistled a little, well, tried to whistle, “That is mighty big. I think I underestimated his ego.” She did not plan for the sure size that was Violet Soul’s lack of humility. She smirked at his remark about fuel, “That’s why I have the internet. It teaches me one random fact a day. Most of them I never knew. It’s pretty funny to see some of them though. Some are completely useless. Funny, but useless.” She liked those ones the most. They made her smile at least once a day, “A rogue, oh dear me. I was not aware I ran with people of your color. I do believe this means I have to check my own character.” She pretended to be looking through a book, “Oh would you look at that. I’m not even a maide. I’m a street urchin. Guess that means I can hang with the rogue or the gentleman. Gotta love loopholes in character.” She knew she did, “And a little spoiling isn’t a bad thing, right?” She trailed off. She was joking, of course. Still, being a little spoiled sounded nice.

She nodded, “I’m fine with lizards. They aren’t creepy for some reason. I think it’s the feet.” That made them less terrifying somehow. At least she understood how they moved, “Try wearing a mask on the back of your head. Cats don’t pounce if they think you can see them. I don’t know why though.” It was one of those facts she just learned from the internet. She shrugged, “It takes time to understand anyone. Maybe this just needs a little longer before it goes somewhere. You never know. I don’t think anyone does.” Or maybe he just wasn’t tech savvy and it was hurting him. She worked with computers, so she had a good impression of them already. One never knew, “We have fought a snake. It was one of first fights actually. It was an ugly beast. I would rather have had the pig…” She hated that snake. And it had wings. That was not fair.

She giggle softly, “There doesn’t need to be a reason for me to thank you. You just deserve it because.” She would thank him if she wanted. It was the least she could do. She wanted to, “And I’ll remember to leave the annoying people off the guest list. Don’t want the team fighting, after all.” They already covered why that was an especially bad idea. She was glad to know he’d be there for her though. She needed it, “Hard to tell in winter, I know. And there is no way you are walking from here to Penecia. Literally, it’s impossible. Unless you want to swim through near ice.” She would lead the way. Train in was. They could only stay together until the station, where they would have to head in opposite directions,but that wasn’t so bad.
