Another post, another collab.

Wow, the amount of dark subtext she could infer from that short exchange was sorta intense...or maybe Cecilia was just overthinking it. Though she admired Nanila’s spunk and industrious attitude, the lilac-haired lancer remained apprehensive about bringing a kid along into the wilderness, especially the sorts of wilderness that the rest of Last Genesis would be frequenting. An escort mission might be fine if that was their primary objective, but it simply wasn’t efficient, bringing a little girl with them as they worked to complete two, maybe three other quests at the same time.

[color=FFE4E1]“You’re a good girl, aren’t you?”[/color] Cecilia said with a maternal smile. [color=FFE4E1]“Don’t have many kids as plucky as you where I come from, that’s for sure. But, how ‘bout this instead? I’m sure your brother’s going to be bored and all by himself, so maybe, rather than leaving him alone while he’s sick, you stay with him? Meanwhile, I’ll get the Java Roots for you and bring it back later?”[/color]

There was a pause. A moment of contemplation. Yeah, she wasn’t that type of person.

[color=FFE4E1]“And hey, I won’t need a cut. Just tell me where to find ‘em, tell me how much to take and that’s all the reward I need, miss.”[/color]

[color=FF4AEE]“I…”[/color] Nanlia frowned at the offer, contemplating it for a short moment. [color=FF4AEE]“Do you know how to gather java root? There’s a lot of digging and beasts like to try and take them. Do you think you can do it all by yourself?”[/color] The girl fretted, kicking at the ground. 

[color=FFE4E1]“I can’t do it all by myself, but I have friends that can!”[/color] Cecilia winked, keeping her tone light-hearted. [color=FFE4E1]“Some of them can even turn [i]into[/i] beasts.”[/color]

[color=FF4AEE]“Can turn into beasts?”[/color] Nania’s eyes widened excitedly. [color=FF4AEE]“If they help, can you show me them when you come back? I want to see someone turn into a beast!”[/color] The girl bounced on her feet, her shy demeanor gone in an instant. 

[color=FFE4E1]“Sure thing!”[/color] Cecilia replied. River probably liked kids, right? [color=FFE4E1]“Just gotta promise me that you take care of your sibling before then, yeah?”[/color]

[color=FF4AEE]“I promise, I promise!”[/color] The girl squealed and hugged Cecilia, dancing around in front of her. [color=FF4AEE]“To find the java root, you have to go to the bottom of java trees and dig out their roots, the ones that look the thickest! If you take the little ones, you’ll hurt the trees. Dig them up and cut them out and bring them back to me. We need twenty of them for today’s quota. The biggest java trees have the most roots but they also have the most Baby Blues so be extra careful, okay?”[/color]

[color=FFE4E1]“Got it,”[/color] Cecilia grinned, pressing the ‘Yes’ option. [color=FFE4E1]“And how will I find you later, little lady?”[/color]

[color=FF4AEE]“Oh, um, well…”[/color] Nanlia bounced on her heels for a moment but shrugged. [color=FF4AEE]“Brother says I shouldn’t tell people but we live in the last little house next to the ships. I’ll stay at home until you come with them so you can find me there! Do you need the basket?”[/color] Nanlia asked, offering the basket strapped to her back. 

Cecilia thought about it for a moment, before shrugging. [color=FFE4E1]“Keep it. I’ve got a backpack for a reason, after all.”[/color] As if to make a show of it, she hefted it up, letting Nanila hear how much space there still was inside.

[color=FFE4E1]“Welp, gonna catch up to my party now. See you later tonight, Nanila!”[/color]
