put your coins where your mouth is.

Deidara’s chin tilted up, a challenge, when she began to stutter repeating his words. However, he soon settled back into a content expression with the next part.

“I know I’m not. So.” 

Here, Deidara closed the distance between them, and held out the joint in between his fingers that was still lit. His eyes went from Dove’s face, to his own hand, and back.

“Just try it. One hit, alright? If you hate it, I’ll leave you alone about it. It’s not going to kill you, hm.” 

dove never saw the appeal of this stuff. even if she did, she was already a coughing and wheezing mess due to asthma. 

      ❝ this is some h--high school peer pressure bullshit. ❞

she grunted, inching backwards again. no way she was trying that! even her own mother said she wouldn’t care if she got into the stuff ... yet, she had no interest.

      ❝ c ... can i help you? ❞

“Oh, interesting~ So you do not get the job done at a price?”

Despite having a playful tone in his voice, he was being serious. He knows, the hunters are no joke. They were much more skilled than a clairvoyant who could probably couldn’t save himself from danger very often without the help of his familiars.

“In all honesty, I don’t have a mission-like requests yet but I do have some things I wanted to learn from you. I am a monster tamer, or a summoner, if you will. I assume it’s a bit controversial for me to make such a request from a hunter, but I’m willing to pay a sum if it’s okay with you.”

      ❝ oh, i do. in most cases. bounty hunter just sounds odd to hear.          tend to think of people with that. ❞

her job lined her pockets well, but she was never one to flaunt it off. that just seemed rude and like an asshole thing to do. tamers weren’t an uncommon thing to hear about. there weren’t any here, but she did hear about them.

    “Hmm.. Don’t worry, I’ll give it back. I don’t like to take other people’s stuff. I can always come back down here tomorrow and give it back to you?”

       “Oh really?  Thank you so much, mam!  My name is Black Star Diopside, what’s your’s?”  The alien asked Dove, curious about the kind stranger whom she followed beside.

“Don’t worry about me, miss!” Tsubasa assured the woman. She smiled at her as she waved dismissively. “I’m tougher than I look!”

Heck, if a monster attacked them right now, Tsubasa was sure she could protect the woman if she transformed. She was here because she’d get to her destination quicker if she took this path. Despite the danger, of course. But again, she could handle herself.

“Although, if you know a quicker path to the next town, I’d be glad to follow you.”

while avith didn’t want to assume that due to her age, something told her that she should trust that. at least she wasn’t trying to head deeper into the forest. 

      ❝ i’ve learned a few faster routes in my days. i can help ya there. ❞

       “Oh?  I’m not lost, but.. I am looking for the bakery.. if this town has one.”  Black Star answered the girl with a friendly smile.  “’Cause I’m really hungry.. even though my kind doesn’t have to eat, I like doing it anyway!”

that being said, it let dove to only wonder what her kind was exactly. in fear of being too nosy, she decided against questioning her. instead, she chose to help.

      ❝ i can take ya. a muffin or somethin’ s--sounds real          good right now. ❞

((Works just fine, now!))

((That IS weird. X_X I’d suggest playing around with it or ask someone with some good coding knowledge to help out.))

((Yeah, it ain't wanting to bring anything up. It goes to it but it says 'There's Nothing Here'. HOWEVER, if people go to your blog and type '/ask' after your url, then it'll take you to the working one.))

that’s ... that’s sO WEIRD BECAUSE IT SHOWS UP FINE FOR MEEEE. even if i go on another blog to try it, it works--

“A big hoodie, underpants and thigh highs… all you need after that is a lap to sit in, and it’s perfect.”

she let out a low grumble, looking off to the side.

      ❝ you’re one of the first years in 1-a, aren’t you? i remember          hearing about you! a lot of people are saying you have real          good potential! ❞

      ❝ eh? hey, you shouldn’t be lingerin’ round’ here. monster          activity has been wild, kid. ❞

the woman straightened up, placing a hand on her hip as golden eyes scanned the area. good for now, it would seem.

she was ... absolutely adorable. dove didn’t like to stare much, but  she seemed so unique. her appearance was out there, but not in a  bad way for sure! dove fidgeted in place, pulling her hood over her head. just talk to her ...
