Pippa of Burgess

…you are not saying that so I would agree to come hunting, right?

hey hey you you i know that you’re blogging

No way, no way, please don't tell my mother

Pippa listened to Cupcake intently. Of course Cupcake would like her. Come to think of it, they gave off similar vibes. “Hmmm, alright then…” Pippa sighed. She then took out the note Cupcake gave her in class. “And stop wasting paper!”

Despite what people said about Cupcake, Pippa always knew the girl was more apt to her friend's feelings that Pippa herself. the lanky girl sulked almost immediately. Dammit, she should stop wearing her heart on her sleeves. "It's nothing. I just did something stupid when meeting Brunnie..."

Pippa listened to Cupcake intently. Of course Cupcake would like her. Come to think of it, they gave off similar vibe. "Hmmm, alright then..." Pippa sighed. She then took out the note Cupcake gave her in class. "And stop wasting paper!"

"O-okay…" Emotional control, right. She cleared her throat and straightened her posture. "I will keep that in mind…" 

"Good - now,” Brunnie pushed off from leaning against the table and knelt by a toolbox set near the Rock ‘n Roll stand. “I’ve got a shanty building to fix up, and you’ve got your envy issues to sort out.” 

Pippa frowned and looked down as she left the shop. "I'm not jealous..."

"Awwww…" Pippa giggled. "What’s your name little elf?"

"Doodle!" He chirped from behind his hands, still rather shy at the attention. "Who es juu?"

"I’m Pippa, one of the kids from Burgess." She smiled. Honestly, she was still too self conscious to introduce herself as a Burgess Believers. It was a silly name…

Large brown eyes got even wider as he gaped at her, hands flopping down from his face. “Juu!” He pointed at her hopping up and down now. “Juur one of tha- tha Believers! Juu hads a special name - but juu es one of THEMS?”

Pippa felt flattered by the elf's enthusiasm. "Yes, my name is Pippa. Nice to meet you Doodle." She smiled, a happy blush on her cheeks.

"Awwww…" Pippa giggled. "What’s your name little elf?"

"Doodle!" He chirped from behind his hands, still rather shy at the attention. "Who es juu?"

"I'm Pippa, one of the kids from Burgess." She smiled. Honestly, she was still too self conscious to introduce herself as a Burgess Believers. It was a silly name...

The girl squeaked in fear, “I’m sorry! Please don’t gut me!”

"O-okay..." Emotional control, right. She cleared her throat and straightened her posture. "I will keep that in mind..." 

"Awwww..." Pippa giggled. "What's your name little elf?"

"I didn’t— I didn’t mean to be rude… I’m sorry…" Pippa apologized, ashamed of her behavior. "I’m not always like this, I swear."

"Well, that’s convincing.” An ill smirk found her lips as she made a light chuckle. “I’ve known dark spirits who would have gutted you for less.”  

The girl squeaked in fear, "I'm sorry! Please don't gut me!"

Sulking, Pippa answered weakly. “Cupcake keeps talking about you, so I wanted to see you by myself.”

"I didn't-- I didn't mean to be rude... I'm sorry..." Pippa apologize, ashamed of her behavior. "I'm not always like this, I swear."

"Bullshit." Pippa scoffed. She knew something was up, she just didn't know what, or any proof for it. "We will talk about this later." She warned before leaving Sophie om her own device.

Sulking, Pippa answered weakly. "Cupcake keeps talking about you, so I wanted to see you by myself."

"But- but the paper’s due this afternoon! C’mon, Mr. Wright’s gonna chew my ass off. Pleaaaaase?"

"Should have thought of that before procrastinating." She deadpanned.

"Not everything is about Jamie, you know…" She pouted, a twinge of jealousy in her tone. "We helped The Guardians too."

"No, but he has a habit of getting himself in trouble," she said over her shoulder. "By the way, if your jealousy is as obvious as it is now, you may want to reign it in a tad." 

Pippa's face flushed red in embarrassment. "I'm not jealous!" She denied. "I just-- it's unfair..." She huffed, voice faltering as she crossed her arms. "Every time I tried to talk to a spirit they always asked about Jamie first... I thought you would be different."
