"I am a V.I.D.*, and have very important things to do."
"Um...excuse me, M-Mister Blanka?" Sunny pipes up, timidly raising her hand to get his attention. "What do V.I.D.s d-do, um, usually?"

"Um, hi..." Sunny squeaks, shuffling their feet shyly. "I'm Sunny. It's n-nice to meet you. We come from Artume. It's, um, in the River Kingdoms. That's what Poffis says, anyway..."
Sunny, who'd spent the entirety of the battle hiding behind a nearby rock, finally comes creeping out now that it's all over. They stare at the Leshy Crafter (and any other surviving leshys) as they slough off their Abyssal-fueled modifications and come to their senses. "Um...hi. I'm Sunny Valley. Do you feel better now?" Sunny actually hadn't met very many leshys like themselves before and they seem curious about these. "I'm a leshy too, but not from around here. I've not met very many leshys before. Maybe we can all be friends now?" Perhaps this really is the start of a beautiful friendship...
Sunny seems a bit embarrassed by all the attention (even though it's good attention) but she also seems happy enough to accept a ride from Jaldan. "Th-thank you!" As the group walks and talks, the little leshy remains silent as they take in the discussion. "Um...you said they kept starting fires and trying to burn the forest down? Does...does fire have a history here?" she finally asks.
"Um wait, polluted nature spirits?" Sunny asks nervously as she peeks around Poffis' leg. "That's awful! Why are they pollu-eep!" The sudden flurry of noise from both Moko and Kai also startles Sunny and she hastily ducks back behind Poffis, clinging tightly to the gnome's leg. "Too much noise! Too much noise!"
As if taking a cue from Poffis, Sunny coughs and looks up at Hopper. "Mister Hopper? Um, you said you really loved making mutagens. What's a mutagen?"
Sunny flinches a little bit at all the noise but their earlier interactions with Kai and Moko seem to have bolstered their courage. They look up at Meadow and smile. "U-um, thank you! I told Kai that he has pretty feathers. Silence has pretty feathers too. Are all birds as pretty as they are?"
"Oh! O-okay!" Sunny very carefully reaches out with a little viney hand and slowly gives Kai some pets on the back of his head. "Am I doing it okay? I'm not used to petting birds...just things on four legs like cats, horses, goats, sheep..."
While her friend is busy getting acquainted with Moko, Sunny stares up at Kairuku with a sort of cautious curiosity. Then, the little leshy blinks - as well as a plant creature can blink - back at the osprey, twice. "You've got pretty feathers," they finally say, shyly.
Boo settles onto the table as the group wait to be served, occasionally seeming to 'dance' along to the gentle music being played nearby. When Lali mentions dessert, he beeps in a cheerful manner and waves his arms around.
As if in agreement with Lali, Boo utters a series of rather triumphant beeps and boops as he lazily buzzes around the group.
His message delivered, Boo issues a triumphant sound similar to a trumpet blast as he waves some of his legs in the air. He then buzzes upward to land on Nah's shoulder, continuing to play a rousing little call despite Nah glaring at him all the while.
Under orders to follow the little furry mammal, Boo skitters along over the ground as he and Rikka separate from the other two and head around to the right of the fort. His sensors hum softly as he scans for enemies...
Boo slowly rises into the air just a few inches off Nah's shoulder, wobbling slightly but otherwise holding a steady position. He emits a shrill whistle and begins to circle his companion as if saying, "She's right, I'm her eyes in the air!"
Apparently ready to prove useful, Boo emits a small but excited-sounding whistle and waves some of his legs around in excitement as he continues to cling to Nah's shoulder.
The strange little clockwork dubbed 'Boo' makes a few clicking and ticking sounds as it rises up on its legs and carefully walks up the kobold's arm and settles on her shoulder. It seems to shrug it's...legs...as if saying, "What do you expect?" |
