♥ Ash is My Hero ♥

If you live on a farm, you should know that cats shouldn’t be carried like that! Running with those animals is a lot different than running with a cat, sweetie! /Sarcastic:/ Yes, it is. Totally. /Rolls her eyes again, letting out a little giggle/ Kidding, I think you’l be fine.

Well, my awesome big brother usually takes care of the animals...And I sometimes take care of the chickens...I have a pet chicken too, her name is Pepper!! She's spicy like me  🎵

[Gasps at her response only to end with a pout] I really hope so!

Nori looked over her shoulder, sure she’d just heard a sound from outside. Her eyes located a small, distorted face pressed against the window outside the seed shop. It was snowing outside, and flakes were settling on Cheryl’s shoulders.

She giggled at the little girl’s comment. “That’s very kind of you to say. But I don’t have anybody to clean up after, so I bet your mother’s job is a lot harder! Unless you count my grandfather, of course.”

"Butterflies and grasshoppers sound great!" Nori wasn’t really into insects, apart from a select few dragonflies, but she wasn’t too squeamish about them. Apart from frogs, of course. "But what would these ‘totally useful purposes’ be?" She raised an eyebrow.

Hmm, I guess so... Pepper especially is messy ehehe🎵 [Cheryl ran her finger along a long strand of her dirty blonde locks]

Yay! We should totally do this [At Nori's question, Cheryl goes all squinty eyed] Well - If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it?

He swiftly pulled his head back, and his neck scrunched up. His nose twitched. His nostrils flared. Why was she touching him? She was weirder than Sue. Weird! “There’s nothing good about that…” Peter was not cute. Boys were not cute.

Peter was confused.

[She looks over his expression which seems distressed and slowly grows irritated] Whatdayoumean that's not a good thing? It certainly is! Geez! Anyone can be cute, and I think you're cute - you should be happy - I don't think many boys are cute! [Rolls her eyes, blowing air out of her mouth heavily] Whatever, you're not as cute as Ash.

Nori looked over her shoulder, sure she’d just heard a sound from outside. Her eyes located a small, distorted face pressed against the window outside the seed shop. It was snowing outside, and flakes were settling on Cheryl’s shoulders.

Despite having swept the floor only that morning, she was worried that Cheryl would get her clothes dirty and get in trouble at home. “Come on, silly, get up! What if the floor is unclean?” she fretted.

"Oh, no, don’t worry about it!" She would feel awful for taking a little girl’s gift to her friend. "No, Hiro, should be back soon. You can give it to him then. They smell lovely, though, I’m sure he’ll love them!"

[Shakes her head, and slowly gets up] Oh all right Noooori!  Your house is always very clean though! [Laughs softly, whispering discreetly] Don't tell Mama, but your house is actually a lot cleaner! 🎵

Are you sure, I mean, I see Hiro all the time but I hardly ever see you! [Thinks it over to herself] Hey yeah, you know what - [Stands up dramatically, completely forgetting about the lavender she was holding] We oughta spend more time together and catch butterflies and grasshoppers and things for totally useful purposes! 

Nori looked over her shoulder, sure she’d just heard a sound from outside. Her eyes located a small, distorted face pressed against the window outside the seed shop. It was snowing outside, and flakes were settling on Cheryl’s shoulders.

She took a cocoa pack out of the cupboard and poured some milk in the pot to heat through. “What are you on the floor for?” she asked fondly, laughing. She noticed the lavender Cheryl was clutching onto. “Is that for Hiro?”

[Giggles lightly, rolling closer to Nori] Hehe, floors are fun to play on, silly! You should try it! [Tosses the lavender into the air, which falls back and hits her squarely in the face] Y-yeah... It's for Hiro but he isn't here so if you want it you can have it ❤

[Rolls over to the table, and proceeds to burn her tongue on the hot cocoa] O-ouch ouch!

/Bends down, looking at the girl’s forehead/ Are you okay? I don’t think you should really have been running. With a cat. On a farm. /Pause/ Is your frehead okay?

[At her words, Cheryl shot up] Heey! I live on a farm Missy, and I can assure you I run on it all the time...With chickens...and sheep...and cows...and my awesome big brother... [Gasps at the mention of her forehead and quickly rushed to cover it] Ohno, is it that bad? It's bad, right? Ohnooo....

Nori looked over her shoulder, sure she’d just heard a sound from outside. Her eyes located a small, distorted face pressed against the window outside the seed shop. It was snowing outside, and flakes were settling on Cheryl’s shoulders.

[Presses her hands against her cheeks] Oh! Nothing really, I just missed him and wanted to give him a gift. [Stops for a second whispering under her breath] Course' Ash might be upset I went here for no reason..

/Stops dead in her tracks, pausing for a second to watch the girl carry Lolita away. Suddenly, she calls Cheryl, hoping deep down this whole thing is just a joke/

[The small girl panted heavily, turning onto her back and rubbing at what she guessed was a red mark on her forehead] Ouchie ouch....
