[ wahoo....
vi can find strohl standing outside of one of the clothes shops, poking through the clothing options... he's looking at the tiniest coat pinched between his fingers. ]
...Do fairies even get cold...?

[ THIS TINY COAT HELP
she comes up behind him - kind of does a little shuffle-shove sort of thing, getting right up into his space and jostling him with her shoulder in a friendly way, half-grinning. the tiniest bit of roughhousing. ]
Thought you were a clemar, not a fairy? [ teases. ]

Ha, ha, very funny.
[ the jostling is kind of nice honestly - it snaps him out of his focus on the tiny clothes, and almost instinctually he returns it, jostling back easy. ] It's for a friend. Not much better to do while we're sitting around.
[ a beat. ] Unless you wanted it? [ he says, like it is an innocent offer instead of being shitty with a grin, holding the tiny coat out like it will fit vi, mock serious. ]

[ a snort. ]
Yeah, I think I could get my pinky in there, probably.
[ elbows him, but she actually does take it to look it over. ]
A friend, huh? So you've got a fairy friend? She didn't come with, I'm assuming.

Guess so. Can't say I've ever seen a fairy before.
[ she normally would be like idk if those exist but honestly this place is so weird and he already said he is a race she doesn't recognize so she is being open minded. ]
What's your captain like?

[ she's already better than 95% of the population of euchronia
oh, there's a question, though - strohl huffs, the noise a little fond. ]
Will? He's the kind of person people're drawn to like a magnet. I swear, it seems like he might've lived under a rock, sometimes, but he's one of the bravest men I've ever met, and he's got a good head on his shoulders.
Most of the time. [ with a little laugh. ] He's pretty headstrong, but I guess we all are, so if the shoe fits.

You, headstrong? I can't see it, goat boy.
[ she is so clearly still teasing. a beat, and then: ] Sounds like a solid leader.
[ she hesitates here, like she is gonna say something else, and then doesn't finish. ]
What about the rest of your crew, sounds like you've got a few.

Goat boy. Seriously? Creative nickname, but what am I expecting from the girl with her name on her face...
[ long suffering but the easy teasing energy is returned.
don't think he doesn't notice the hesitation - but with the question, he tilts his head back and forth, thinking. ]
He is. [ a good leader. ] As for the rest - have you seen the rouissante with the red hair? Ears out to here. [ he lifts his hands and makes a rough gesture to where hulkenberg's ears are. ] It's just the two of us here.

Maybe you’ll get a better nickname if I think you deserve it.
[ hehe. anyway, she goes o: at this. snaps her fingers. ]
Oh shit, uh - Hulkenberg. You and her, huh? That tracks. Think she mentioned a captain too.
… Hey, listen. The two of you need an extra pair of eyes, hit me up.
[ she likes them both, so… ]

She's a stalwart ally. So long as you don't ever let her offer to take you out for a meal, at least.
[ don't dunk on hulkenberg she's not even here to defend herself this is a pc
anyway. the offer surprises him a little - strohl glances to the side over at vi as she says it, distracted away from the clothes. ]
...is that right? [ and after a moment, a smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. ] Thanks. You can consider it mutual, then - things are too suspicious to do anything but get strange, if you ask me. People ought to stick together where they can.
[ ... ]
Did you talk to the other roussainte? Not just her.

[ little does strohl know that they bonded over eating really gross grubs icly yesterday so he's doomed,
she shoves her hands in her jacket pockets, glancing down at the racks of clothes. lets her hair fall in her face a bit as she does - not shy, just a touch like yeah, yeah, moving on. she just knows a good person when she sees one, is all. hard not to put her lot in for that.
anyway, after a second, she glances at him with a questioning look. ]
There's more? With - the ears, right? I didn't see another one. Why?

[ NO!!!!!
he. grimaces a little. ]
You'll know him if you see him - he's a visual headache as much as he is a walking one.
[ fuckin. glodell and his leopard print coat ]
His name's Glodell. We don't exactly get along. I think you'll figure out why the second you have a conversation with him, but more to the point: the man's not just a prick, but he's dangerous. He attacked our captain, not too long ago.
As far as he knows, we're 'allies' with him, for all the nothing good that means. Just...keep your eye on him - not just for us, for yourself, too.

[ eyebrow raise at this, but - she takes it easily enough. she's known her fair share of flashy thugs in the undercity, so she doesn't doubt that this guy has some sort of problem. ]
Got it. [ she says easily enough, head tilting just a little to the side. curiously, maybe, though she's not expressing it out loud. ]
I'm not worried about me, I can handle whatever. [ she figures he's not going to be able to take a punch to the face with her gloves, so. ] You sure you can defend yourself?
[ a hint... of teasing... ]

[ well
strohl is standing here!!! tapping his foot, hands on his hips!!!! staring at the market!!!!!! WHY IS IT ALL ALREADY CLEAN
he glances when he sees vi - the deep frown on his face fades a tiny bit and he dips his head in greeting, and then glances back at the market. ]
Bloody hell.
[ eloquent ]

[ yeah, she's like - wildly on edge, now, so when she comes up on him, she's got her hood up and a stank look on her face. ]
Literally.
[ she says dryly, stopping next to him to stare at the market. ]
... Like it never even happened.

[ puts you in the natura biome so that vi can wander up to him and just deposit a poro in his hands.
it makes little guinea pig wheek wheek sounds and licks his face. ]

Better than home - they're not leaving the corpses on the street.
[ the way strohl says this is downright scathing - clearly he does not think it is actually better. both are terrible. ]
Just a pithy memorial message to make sure things stay palatable for the passers-by. Not that I thought this was much of a vacation in the first place, but that trip was an omen if there ever was one.

[ i promise you he was in the natura biome anyway chilling because he loves the Country Air TM
anyway ] What the - arghff --
[ one second he is minding his business and the next there is a goat in his hands - strohl squawks and holds it out at arms length, his hair licked up into a cowlick. goatlick. ]
Vi!

Ain't that the truth.
[ they leave the corpses in the street in her home, too. she folds her arms. ]
Freak accidents happen, but you're right, what a start. It's been two days and we're already dodging accidents left and right. [ she didn't know either of them very well at all obviously, so she's not terribly sad. people die all the time. just.
a pause. ]
There's - reason, someone would want me dead, you know? Or out of the way.

[ yeah the air is so fresh here, what the fuck. she can breathe! woah!
also, he holds this goat like he's never held anything in his life and vi just cracks up, cackling. ]
He looks just like you!

A "freak accident"'s putting it lightly.
[ and. lmao. yeah. she's not the only one thinking that way - for the first time, strohl's finding himself relieved that will's not here, if that's the case. no king's magic to protect anyone. better him than will.
strohl's expression goes grim and he exhales, looking up as he thinks it over, then, on the exhales, slowly looking back over at vi. ]
...I'm not going to let that happen. [ going to let her die. or him, probably, but definitely not her. big hero talk from strohl, but that's the kind of person he is. you find good people, you hold onto them, you're loyal for them. it's not steered him wrong, yet. ] A promise's a promise, no matter how prescient it ended up being.

Oh, ha ha. Think there's a court missing its jester somewhere - you know, you can't just compare everything with horns to a clemar, that's just rude.
[ and yet he mostly just sounds like he's been bullied as opposed to mad about it. in the meantime he looks at the poro held in his hands. it is very soft. ] What's the point of this thing, it's a walking stuffed animal...

Not like I’m totally defenseless. Don’t go jumping in front of any blows for me.
[ she appreciates it, and it is kind of… well, surprising? it’s a little surprising that he is still holding his end of their little halfassed promise. she expected the second any actual danger happened that he would just be protecting his own. that’s how it goes in the undercity.
but he says he won’t let her get got, and that… is loyalty, in a way she isn’t used to and isn’t entirely trusting of. she takes it, with a bit of unease that she doesn’t show. ]
Thanks, though. I’m not going back on my promise either.

Hey, like I said, shoe, fits.
[ she absolutely is enjoying the fact that she gets to bully him though. it has been a hot minute since she has had anybody to bully. ]
I’ve got no idea what the point of them is, they’re useless for anything other than eating and being fluffy.
[ they are made of love… it squeaks and gives strohl a big sparkly eyed look. friend??? ]
