"I don't know why, but I just get this feeling when I see him?" Harriet said as she enjoyed the warmth of the sun shining down on her in the early morning; She laid on her back, she wore a white robe that Fou blended into as she absently minded pet him like a cat as he stretched out across her.
"Could it be… That you just… Are a Top?" Fou asked skeptically, Harriet paused her hands, no longer petting the fluffiest thing in this universe, only to smack him on the head lightly as she turned back out to watch the early sun rise through the window.
"What? Draco gives major Bottom energy! I swear, with the way he looks like a love sick puppy after you all the time, it's almost like you're Artoria and he Shirou." Fou said dismissively, only for Harriet to vehemently dismiss it.
"No, no, no, no. He does not look at me like that… " Her monotone voice strained near the end, a complicated look on her face. "Why would he even want to be with someone like me? Defiled by-" Fou's paw was firmly put on her lips, stopping her from speaking.
"No more of that outa you, Young lady!" He snootily declared, "You're perfect the way you are, you're not damaged goods or anything of the sort! And over the last 30 or so years we've spent together, I have and will continue to smack you over the head with a paw every time you speak of your self in such a manner." Every now and then he gave her a light poke to the forehead, as if to get it through her thick skull.
The fire in her eyes was stoked just a bit before it returned to the simmer she normally held, Fou just gave a sigh as she hugged him to her chest, she didn't move more than that.
But that was all she indeed from him at the moment, just a person to sit and hold without any meaningless talk.
"It's starting to get close to the time others will wake up, why don't you get ready for breakfast… K?" Fou asked, Harriet didn't respond, instead just rolling over and falling to the ground; With a small flip she landed crouched, and just walked away.
Fou stood in the empty area in the forest, looking over the quest he gained after Harriet left for food.

'The Fool'
Beginnings, Freedom, Innocence, Originality, Adventure, Idealism and Spontaneity.
The Fool depicts a youth walking joyfully into the world. He is taking his first steps, and he is exuberant, joyful, excited. He carries nothing with him except a small sack, caring nothing for the possible dangers that lie in his path. Indeed, he is soon to encounter the first of these possible dangers, for if he takes just a step more, he will topple over the cliff that he is reaching. But this doesn't seem to concern him - we are unsure whether he is just naive or simply unaware. The dog at his heels barks at him in warning, and if he does not become more aware of his surroundings soon, he may never see all the adventures that he dreams of encountering.
You've spent the last 30 years in a bubble, stagnant and slothful. You've earned the right of sloth, yet now you've awakened.
Objective:
Enter the Forbidden Forest and wander.

And so he continued, walking and walking, passing many of the animals in this place, skewering spiders that roam too close to The Monster of Gaia. The forest was a buzz with activity as the animals slowly recognized the beast, the clomping of centaurs hoof gained his attention as he turned to see many of them with arrows drawn.
(Well now, I certainly didn't expect this?)
"Foou, Fou Fo Fou-kyu?" Fou said, eyes roaming over the bows and arrows, adding them to his forge, the history of the animals slain and rituals conducted with them neatly packed away.
The Centaurs merely looked at each other confused. Yet it was the one with long white-blond hair that put his bow down and cautiously approached, much to his herd's chagrin.
"Monster of Gaia, why have you come to our forest?" He asked, his hand out stretched to the small white creature.
"Me." an ethereal voice spoke, gathering the aim and animosity of the centaurs before they lowered their weapons quickly and bowed. Turning to her Fou was greeted by what appeared to be a Saber Face, one he recognized from Prisma Illiya.
She had a Sea Pink coloured hair and Di Serria coloured eyes, she stood an opulent dress he knew that Archetype: Earth would wear. It was as if someone had taken Tanaka from '3rei!' and mixed them with the Servant 'Archetype: Earth'. She gave a light giggle as she sat on her knees and held her arms out for a hug to Fou, her voice invoked feelings from him and tears pricked at his eyes as he gave out an involuntary "Mother!" and leapt into her arms.
She giggled lightly as she affectionately pat his head, Fou questioned everything, why he called this woman mother, why he felt a heartache that hurt his very forge and snuffed the flame.
"You're all dismissed, I want a private conversation with my child." She waved a hand and the Centaurs ran, the centaur that had approached Fou hesitated a second before galloping off to follow his herd.
"You're not the same child I created years ago." She gave him a tight hug, stopping him from escaping in fear from her words. "Yet you are still my dear child, the one I birth from the very earth to protect me." Fou relaxed unconsciously as his mind raced, he felt the wet tears of the lady as she silently cried.
She held him up in front of her, a sad smile on her face as their tears fell to the ground.
"You're a fool, you've yet to find who you are in the strange universe. You've reached the bottom of the tower by your chariot, yet the wheel of fortune will guide you up it." She put him on the ground, and sat in Seiza as she continued to talk.
"Who are you?" Fou asked, pawing at his eyes to stem the tears.
"I'm your mother, as I am the mother of all… I am Gaia." she reached into a pocket and gave Fou a key, a key of metal with an intricate Handel.
"Yet another world requires your guide, an amulet has been stolen, so another has been placed in return." She handed him the key, and when he looked back, she was gone.
