-She let out a soft laugh as he pointed out his rad company. That had been why she’d asked, of course. However, her cheery expression faded when she’d heard that- . .. Talk to your mom? but, I thought.. -she trailed off, and then took his hand, smiling a little- Luke? I think I misinterpreted the meaning of this festival. Would you… Explain it to me? -she tilted her head. Some sort of strange celebration where you sent letters and spoke with the dead? Honestly that didn’t sound like her sort of scene… but she’d give it a shot. She had asked, after all.-

It's not all too depressing tho, 'Lena. The sights are all, [ / Waved his hands over his head, and creating a Wsshh!! sound effect ] Bright and stuff! All the fireflies and lanterns make everything so... [ / Calmed down, paused, and continued ] really... pretty...

The edge of the axe had caused a trail of blood to drip down from her pale hand and onto the forest floor. She kept her eyes on the boy, brows furrowed as she ignored the pain in her palm. Worse had happened to her before; much, much worse. This was hardly anything to her.

  He still was incapable of really processing the situation. Sure, she lived in the woods but the woods weren't technically hers... right? He's been chopping here since he can remember, why was it such a big problem? "Dunno why you're so angry, lady. It's barely even night." 

*raises an eyebrow* Swimming? … I… I guess we haven’t. Hmmm… I don’t know.

[ / upon her response, he takes it like an agreement and lights up-- ] Heh...! [ / and takes her hand and starts to run ] That's a yes to me, Gwenster! SWIMMING WE GO!!!!

Alright~! *hands him the bowl* There you go. Hope you like it. I’m curious, how long you’ve been working as a carpenter Luke? You’re pretty passionate doing your job.

What 'bout you, Petey? Why'd ya choose farmin'? It's wicked rad and stuff-- but??? [ / tilts his head ] 

[Heads into the chicken coop and looks around, smiling as she sees all the birds walking around] We just need to grab an egg from one of these guys.  [She points at a small cluster of chickens] Those ones aren’t laying fertilized eggs at the moment, so one of them may be sitting on one we can use.  Go ahead and pick one up ~! 

[ / gets really excited upon entering the coop, and nods at her order, skipping towards to where she pointed and crouched down, pursing his lips as he thought ] Hmm... [ / and picked one up! ] Alright! What's next?

"Just WHO do YOU think YOU ARE?!" She groaned, using one hand to rub tiredly at her eyes. "I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!"

  Widened eyes, blinking cluelessly. You're not supposed to get a lady while chopping wood now, are you? As she started yelling, Luke slowly nodded, not really processing her words. "Cool, I can see that, yer' still in your night dress an' everything. But ya' should get inside, though. Gets kinda cold at night." And with that, pulled his axe away from her hold and resumed with another heavy swing.

*laughing* Yep, I do. Making risotto doesn’t take long. Need a break from working or you want to keep going? I wouldn’t mind either way Luke.

[ / at the mention of food, he pauses, biting his lip. ] Hmmm..... [ / laughs, and gets up, dusting off his hands on his jeans ] Eating first it is! Ya can't work on an empty stomach ♪ !

I always bully you. That’s the point of our relationship. … Well, what do you want to do? I mean, we could always go for a walk? Or… something. Swimming maybe?

[ / then pauses suddenly, in thought... ] Ah! How bout we swim and make ourselves a lil competition! We haven't done something like that in a while!!

[Laughs as Luke begins to walk backwards] We’ll only be making a small amount, so… [She counts the ingredients on her fingers as she speaks]  We need one egg, some olive oil, a lemon, a little bit of salt, and some water!  

W-Whoa, that's it? That's not that much, huh? I would've never guessed it'd have so lil' in it? Is it an easy process though?? [ / laughs as he speaks, giddy and giggly. He turns around -- already facing the barn and nods again ] Well this'll be a breeze! Let's gooooo~ ♪ !

[ / pauses, wide eyed, as if he's in thought ] Let's go do something fun that doesn't involve you bullying me, aight? Well... you'll probably do that anyways BUT it feels like forever since we last saw each other heh!
