She snorts, then dutifully picks up her skirts to chase after him to see rabbits.

She can soon spot a heightened mound, the exit of a burrow. There are no rabbits outside, though.

"Hmm, we should not wait for them here, they'll be out gathering food, probably."

Permalink

"Okay. You're very focused on introducing me to rabbits, aren't you?"

Permalink

He twirls around to look at her, both fists on his hips. "Do you not want to meet rabbits?" he asks, mock-crossly.

Permalink

"I," she says, mock-imperiously, "am neither for or against meeting rabbits, I am merely fulfilling my end of our bargain of accompanying you tonight, wherever you go. I'd follow after you to watch grass grow if you really wanted to."

Permalink

"You would get bored out of your mind."

Permalink

"Not out of my mind, my mind is a bit stronger than that, but I would get a little huffy and very sarcastic. And be very bored, yes."

Permalink

"Well, what do you want to do next, if not dance with rabbits?" he asks, dropping onto his butt huffily.

Permalink

She sits delicately beside him, amused. "I don't know. I haven't so much been having expectations of how this would go."

Permalink

"Well, then! Time to come up with some." He beams at her. "I'd consider it a favour if you came up with what we will do next."

It goes without saying that if she does him favours then her boon at the end of the night will be all the better.

Evette snorts with laughter, then says, "All right, ah, hm." She taps her chin, reviewing his earlier list of fairy adventure activities.

"Doing battle against salmon?" she wheedles, amused. "How does that work?"

Permalink

"With pointy sticks!"

Permalink

"That doesn't... really... okay. With pointy sticks. Sure. We can do that."

Permalink

"Grand! Let's go to the river."

Permalink

She smiles at him, then rises to her feet. "Lead on, oh fairy adventure buddy."

Permalink

"'Fairy adventure buddy'," he quotes with a smirk, starting off in a decidedly-not-random direction.

Permalink

She strolls after him. "Is there another name I should call you?"

Permalink

"It just sounds like a mouthful is all."

Permalink

"And 'Calendula' isn't?"

Permalink

"Single word," he says, shrugging. "And it sounds pretty."

Permalink

"That's true. 'Fairy adventure buddy' isn't very pretty or flattering, is it."

Permalink

"It is not."

Permalink

She chuckles, then says, "Well, would you like a better nickname, then? Since you've gone to all the trouble of thinking of one for me."

Permalink

"That would probably make everything easier!"

Permalink

Evette hums thoughtfully to herself. "Venture?"
