Name: Mikasa Ackerman
Date: Early July, like somewhere between 7th-10th
Format: Voice

[Some people might recognise the voice, some might even remember her making enquires about monsters and recommendations for good books in the library. Or not, it'd been slow progress for the fae. Because she'd found that...books were so, so dry. They made her want to sleep. So she'd been surprised to find a book that she could get through. It's information though-]

Is it true that really powerful vampires have diamond-like skin that reflects sunlight back instead of being burnt by it?

[Jean where is your mind going? She is innocently asking if her comrade wants to check her injury...Except it's not really an injury so much as a growth.]

It's fine. I'd rather show you than have a repeat of it bleeding and Leslie noticing... She's twelve so she couldn't reach to check.

[trost]

[ With the mention of there being bleeding, his mind is at least no longer in that questionable place and he's starting to worry instead. ]

Hold on, why would it be bleeding? Does it break through the flesh as it grows? [ That doesn't sound like a good time at all. ]

[stopfen]

No. The first time it happened. [Haa, just give her a moment to think about her bad life choices Jean.]

I pulled a lump of it off.

[trost]

Mikasa ... [ You can hear the disapproval in his tone. Mikasa, what the fuck. ]

[stopfen]

[Completely deadpan, leave her alone Jean.]

It was itchy and I didn't know it was attached.

[trost]

Maybe you shouldn't be scratching yourself so hard, you pull parts off. You know how strong you can be ...

[stopfen]

It was when it first started growing. I didn't know it was attached... [There's a pause ]

I still have that lump of shell. The witch at the hospital told me it was too valuable for them to take.

[trost]

[ This is kind of gross but he'll try not to let that show in his tone. He's assuming that by 'valuable', they mean that shell has market value.e ]

Yeah, keep it away somewhere. Don't want anyone thinking it might be a good idea to go pulling out any other parts of you.

[ He doesn't like the sound of that at all. ] So how do these 'wings' look like now?

[stopfen]

I know, I'm the one who told you about those people... And it's on my back. That's why I said you can look.


[yes, you are getting the sass. ]

[trost]

[ Wow, he sure is feeling sassed right now. It is true that he had stated the obvious. There's an audible sigh over the watch. ]

I'll make my way over.

[stopfen]

[deadpan snark, the most effective stick.]

... Now?

[She did not think this though when getting dressed this morning. ]

[trost]

[ He was planning to put on his coat and head out, but this stops him. ]

Is that a problem?

[stopfen]

No. I'm home.

[The garden needed more work now. The good weather was making so many weeds grow. ]

[trost]

[ He and his man muscles will be here once again for physical labour needs. ]

Alright. Do you want me to bring you anything to eat?

[stopfen]

Don't I have more than you? [She works and she has that sweet, sweet worm meat. ]

[trost]

No need to rub it in, now ... [ Wow. Also, stop eating worms you weirdo. ]

I took up one of those odd jobs and made a bit of coin. It should be enough for a snack. [ let him do a nice thing wtf ]

[stopfen]

[It's normal in the underground you cretin. Like cotton candy mushrooms.

But he's getting a soft chirp. Thinking.] ... What do you want?

[trost]

[ Lbr Jean would probably eat a cotton candy mushroom if he knew it were safe. ]

The sweets here are so abundant. I kind of want to try some ...

[ He's feeling like trying some of the cotton candy or chocolate. ]

>action

[stopfen]

They're nice...I can't eat all of them.

[With that, Mikasa doesn't send another message. Did she have time to go anything before he'd arrive or should she just stay where she was in the garden? But in the end, she keeps working. He'd mentioned that he'd found somewhere nearby. She probably didn't have time.

Once he got to the garden he'd be able to spot her head, poking up above what appeared to be beanstalks. Don't get to close to them Jean. She was okay to check on them, he was a stranger to them.]

[trost]

[ Jean stops responding too, taking some time to stop by at the local market to pick out something to bring her to eat. In the end, he picks up two chocolate bars from the general stall and some strawberries.

Finally, he arrives at her home, approaching where he sees the top of her head above the beanstalks. ] Mikasa? I'm here.

[ Unfortunately, he moves a little too close to those beanstalks, because he doesn't know any better. ]

[stopfen]

Jean, you should say... [Too late.

All of a sudden many things happen. The snap peas, well they snap. Short tempted things, a few pea pods split open and just start spitting little peas at him. And then...Then the squeaky yipping starts. It takes a whole minute of yipping before the tiny ball off fluff to come into view. Barking and charging at the intruder. He defend! ...It takes him awhile on his stumpy little legs, but he bounds over to plant his body between the two, barking in a warning.

Very intimidating when he was smaller than Jean's foot. Tater's yips are ignored by the person he was defending though.]

Say hello to the plants. They get angry if you don't.

[Just casually, this is life now.]

[trost]

What the hell?! [ Jean immediately recoils, hands up to defend himself against the peas being shot at him like tiny, annoying bullets. Unfortunately, with that motion, the strawberries he had bought fall to the ground. Mikasa will never get her fruits at this point.

The tiny dog barking up a storm doesn't get anything more than a questioning look, because he's really not all that threatening. Jean takes a step back, still shielding himself from the peas. ] Looks like you've added to the garden ...And your household. [ Some troublesome little plants and animals. ]

... Hi there? [ To the peas. ]

[stopfen]

[At the greeting, most of the pea pods freeze. Slowly drooping and lying like a normal plant would. Except for one, that takes one last potshot at him before joining the others. Mikasa only hushes at it. Lowering her watering pot, a nice wooden one.]

I started growing these before I knew they'd do that... They're fine as long as you don't surprise them. It's better than the ones that scream randomly. [She hated mandrakes. Why'd they have to cry? Why'd they have to look like babies?

Her eyes glance at the strawberries. Then back to him, you going to just leave them there? They could be washed. Though Tater does stop his barking, and he might have been tilting his head. It was hard to tell where his head ended and the body started. Then he waddles over, sniffing...Nibbling a berry, then...Jean, you are being circled. You have gained the most important man in her life's approval.]

Tendou gave me him... It's better he stayed with me than Tendou.

[trost]

[ Since he had assumed the assault was over, Jean momentarily lets his guard down and is hit in the temple with a pea. ] Ow.

[ At least the brunt of it all seems to be over. He keeps his guard up regardless, frowning at the innocent-looking plants. ]

Can't really see that guy taking care of an animal. You probably are the better choice. [ Though he doesn't know him very well yet, Jean has 0 faith in Tendou's ability to be responsible. Squatting down, he picks up the strawberries that had rolled to the ground, placing them back in the case. Being Jean, he doesn't any more for Tater to eat. ]

You're fat enough. Just one for you. [ Bullying. ]

[stopfen]

You get used to them. They're nicer than the birdfruit... [The peas have been apPEAsed. For now...

And so had Tater, who was happily wagging his tail in approval at the gift, gnawing on one. The hands reaching down gets a butt wiggle and yips. Then the hand that's bigger than him is being ran into. Just straight up running at it. Feel his fluff.]

Probably. Though Tendou had him for a few days, and they get along pretty well...Sometimes. I think Tendou got bit playing with him the other day.

[Unsure, no sympathy though. She doubted he'd actually gotten hurt. Jean's comment though, that gets a frown from her. Even if the puppy was unfazed.]

Don't call him fat. [Don't bully her baby.]
