Kalie was working on Graves’ boot to diligently fix it with the leatherworking skills she had in this game. She couldn’t help but smile because she enjoys doing this type of thing in the game, repairing others' gear or giving them an incentive to buy her goods. It was a bit odd, but she tried never to show true feelings while doing this type of thing because her roleplay persona usually got in the way. [color=F9FF22][i]’ Graves’ boot is going to be so much better than it was, without that hole in it anyway.’[/i][/color] Kalie thought to herself, kind of reminiscing and focused on working on Graves’ boot.

It’s because she reminisces; it causes her to remember her childhood or adolescence life. She had a plushie of hers that constantly got ripped up or teared up by her older sister, and it was a bit mean spirited. Because of this, she usually went to her mother to get her plush cat to be fixed. Her mother smiles as always because her mother wouldn’t see her little one cry over a broken toy. It didn’t help that her mother’s kindness was rewarded by Susan's snide remark, in not wanting to apologize to the little sister that was the favorite in the family. Therefore, this entire event caused Dawn to try to basically be friends with her sister, even though it didn’t work. It only helped in delaying Susan’s departure from her family’s life for a few years.

Kalie shook her head as she came back from that mild case of sadness, but she had a smile on her face. She was hopeful for what she could do in Aetheria with the group of people she’s stuck in this dungeon with. Kalie had a job to do, and she would rather be like her mother than her older sister, which the latter she was emulating in her roleplayer persona. [color=F9FF22][i]’ I do hope this will keep him going for a while longer before I have to repair everyone’s boots.’[/i][/color] Kalie thought to herself with a smile. She did hear the others talk around her while focusing on her assigned task for now.

It was done, the boot that she so diligently was finished in being repaired, with a grateful smile on her face. She was about to call over Graves with a wave of her hand until she noticed Rael walking up to her. She noticed the bracelet in Rael’s hand, and it was Amelie’s Bracelet. All she did in response to hearing what Rael said was smile happily and be a bit amazed. [color=F9FF22]” Aww, thank you, Rael. I will take the bracelet, so you don’t have to worry about me as much.”[/color] Kalie said with a gleeful smile on her face. It was indeed the first time anyone gave her something without a catch, and it made her incredibly happy. All the other times, it had to deal with Susan’s constant ordering her around and stuff like that. She gently took the bracelet from Rael’s hands and put it around her left wrist.

Kalie remembered after that exchange to look over to Graves. She sighed at him while he was eating and speaking simultaneously, which slightly annoyed her. [color=F9FF22]” I must say, Graves. Dear, I’ve finished your boot so that you can receive it now. Heehee.”[/color] Kalie said to Graves, trying to tease him. It was one thing, but she always wanted to do that to another player, but Graves is Graves nonetheless. However, the potions' dividing up made her smile since poison potions for her Scythe will help them in the road ahead. She had a smile on her face and put the poison potions in her potion belt. It made her want to be even more prepared with the news over what she’d been throughout this entire experience. 

It didn’t take her long to remember she should eat something as well. Kalie wouldn’t want to die of starvation after that panic attack she had. She ended up taking some of the fruits and meat since it's better to do that. However, it didn’t take her long to realize that Kazuki wasn’t here. She kind of worried about him, but Rael did say something about Kazuki scouting ahead, which seems like the dumbest idea. It couldn’t be helped; everyone else was much more fragile, like Alja and her. [color=F9FF22][i]’ I should seriously apologize to Kazuki. For being so rude to him… better to get back on the right foot or so to speak, as my mother, Ashley… I miss her so much…’[/i][/color] Kalie thought to herself with trying to look on the positive side of things. She felt a bit bad for having that argument with her mother, while her mom had no idea what she was talking about. It was their idea for her to get a hobby and play video games, but her father was much more into them than her mother.[/indent][/indent][/indent]
