"Herbs?"
The cra standing in the doorway of the girl's home sweated profusely as he held out a basket filled with assorted medicinal plants. A small nervous chuckle made its way passed his lips. "Y-Yeah. I know that y-you're really into...into medicine a-and potions and uh... I th-thought you'd like these." He stuttered out.
The Eniripsa stared at him for a long moment or at least long enough to make him even more nervous than he already had been. A smile slowly began to form on her face until it became bright enough to rival that of the sun. "You didn't have to go out of your way to get me this!" She beamed before graciously taking the large basket. "Though I must ask, what was the purpose of buying me this? It must have cost a fortune." She noted, looking down at some of the more rare plants in the bunch.
The blonde almost instantly began to take an interest in his shoes. "W-Well um... I-I bought it b-b-because-" He paused briefly as his eyes travelled back up only to make contact with her's. Seeing her staring so intently only made him panic and sputter the first thing that came to mind. "...your birthday just passed! Y-You just turned nineteen and I wanted to get you something special in celebration!"
She blinked a few times before gazing up at the sky and tapping her chin lightly with her free hand. "Huh, my birthday did just pass, didn't it?" She mused before turning her attention back to him. "Well in any case, thank you so much for the gift."
Scratching the back of his neck he forced a smile. "O-Of course! AnywaysIHaveToGetGoingSoI'llSeeYouLaterBye!" Without letting her get another word in he sprinted away.
The young woman could only stand there while trying to process what just happened.
In the distance a young Pandawa peered from behind a tree as she watched her friend come running towards her. As soon as he came to a halt in front of her, she beamed up at him expectantly. "So how did it go?"
The cra could only look at his friend as his ears drooped low along with his head. "I couldn't do it..."
"By Pandawa, you've been working yourself up for a month only to get cold feet?!" She fumed but only received silence. Calming herself down, she let out a sigh and a shake of her head before placing her hand on the young boy's shoulder. "I guess there's always next time."
Finally dismissing the strange event, Zeta went back into her house and closed the door behind her. Though curiosity stilled grabbed at her, she had far more important things to do, such as sleeping. She had stayed up far longer than she typically did: four hours had to be a new record for her.
Sleepily, she made her way back into her room to which she just plopped down onto the bed. Yes, she could have changed out of her clothes and whatnot, but it was all just a waste of time. Why change out of them and devoid herself of sleep even if it was for a few minutes? She could just take them off once she woke up and wash them the quickly with a spell. Honestly, water-based spells were a blessing. Cuddling up to her pillow, she drifted off to sleep only seconds later.
"So, care to explain how this little incident occured?" She stared on at the little Ecaflip who sat in front of her. It was late Junssidor and she could have sworn she overheard some of the other adults conversing with one another about how blistering hot it was and that all kids were to be kept inside today to avoid any heat strokes or severe dehydration. Though alas, that must've not been the case for this child since here he was: cradling his bleeding hand while his face contorted into a mixture of pain, embarrassment and overall anxiety.
"Please don't tell my dad!" He urged frantically. "Papa was up so late last night trying to finish building me and my little brother's tree house, so I thought... I thought I would surprise him by getting up early and doing it for him, but..." He uncovered his hand as tears began to swell up in his eyes. "I-I ended up cutting myself." He sniffled.
Taking ahold of his wrist, she gently pulled his hand towards her to examine it a bit closer. No ligaments were torn and the arteries and veins seemed to be intact, so that was good at least. With a bit more inspection, she concluded it to be a mere flesh wound. Pulling out her wand, she gave a quick glance at the boy and flashed a small grin to ease his nerves. "Don't worry, i'll have this healed before you can even count to ten." and that she did. Placing her wand over the wound, she muttered a few incoherent words before his hand started to glow. A few seconds was all it took before the light dispersed and in it's place was nothing more than un-injured hand. "Good as new."
Blinking away the last remainder of his tears, he looked at his healed limb astonished. "A...AMAZING!" His eyes sparkled with interest as he jumped up from where he previously sat. "Some of the other kids said that you were a witch but I didn't believe it until no-OW!" The Ecaflips hands instinctively cradled his now throbbing head while his tail cowered between his legs.
"I'm not a witch, you little brat! I'm an Eniripsa!" She corrected him with a clenched fist held high. "Now get going before I change my mind about telling your father."
Holding back a tear he nodded his head. "Yes ma'am." with that he quickly left out of her cottage with a hand still nursing his head.
Once he was out of sight, she let out a huff. "Honestly, do these kids actually believe i'm a witch?" She muttered before slamming her door shut.
