Reyn was going to strangle the bouncing Nopon. Mimicki was asking the gang of heroes to travel to an especially dense part of Makna Forest in search of Sickleberries. The only problem with her request was how rudely and annoyingly she demanded it. In Reyn's book that was a pretty good reasonn too punch anyone, Nopon or not!
"Mimicki want to share delicious smoothie with friends, Mimicki need Sickleberries! Need need need! Mimicki need so many! Friends must not eat berries before Mimicki make smoothie or Mimicki not be happy! " Mimicki almost screamed, bouncing so hard and fast that the sturdy wood underneath her seemed to be crack.
" Calm yourself", Melia's cool voice somehow stopped Reyn's fist midair,
" We shall retrieve the berries and not eat one" she glanced at Reyn, her look trying to confirm if Reyn would or would not follow through with her statement, Reyn nodded reluctantly, and Melia continued."no need to fret."
Mimicki thanked them, and sent the 7 off, with a less then welcome shove. After making it to the part of the forest and looking for maybe 3 minutes in silence, Melia spoke.
"Is this a Sickleberry?" Melia held up a fat, purple berry, with a pink wound-like slash on its belly.
"Melly have good eye!" Riki popped out from behind a bush to inspect her berries.
"Do you think they would make a good pie?" Fiora held up a bunch, sniffing suspiciously before tossing them into the small basket Mimicki had lent them.
" They seem deadly sour, I doubt they would make a good pie." Shulk said, appearing from and extraordinarily tall patch of grass, grasping six especially dark berries.
" Oi! Maybe they would!" Reyn wasn't just about to give up the chance for a pie of any kind, " You should try Fiora! Food is food right? As I always say, eat up or shut up!" Reyn put one bunch of berries near him, advertising them with a sarcastic wink before basically slamming them into the basket.
"Here here!" Dunban called, throwing two more bunches into the now full basket.
" How many Sickleberries do we have now?" Sharla said, trying desperately to change the topic to business. She could smell the sourness of the berries, and she decided that getting out of the forest and never coming close to this particular area willingly again would be the best course of action for the sake of her flipping stomach.
"Around 64, that should be fine... " Melia said, dropping the last of the berries into a basket.
"It definitely went faster once we knew what we were looking for. Thanks Melia" Shulk said.
Dunban nodded in agreement, then turned to the rest of the group. "Good work everyone! Mimicki will be pleased. We may be able to get back to her by 18:00 if we hurry, gather your things!" 7 travelers prepared themselves for the trek back.
He hovered above of them. The canopy was quite inconvenient for spying, however he could successfully find out needed information from 2 clues gathered. One, 6/7 of the group was smiling, which can be associated with the common emotion of happiness and relaxation, meaning they were not planning to fight or hunt for Lord Egil for now. 2, the red-head had abandoned his weapon in the dewy grass, proving his theory of the group's care-free intentions and unprepared state. His metal bones clicked, his claws stretched in anticipation.
Metal Face dropped down into the grassy forest below.
YAY! I don't know if this is short, long or medium- sized but I do know it's not over. I'm planning on making this a bit of a series. I gaurentee part 2 will be more action-packed, but for now this'll do. This is my first fanfic so I hope the small amount of people who read this enjoy! All suggestions are welcome, just try not to tell me I suck too much ;)! If there is any problem with the way I published/ formatted it, please tell me! Thanks!
