Aria gets a huge grin. 

"Good girl." 

And she reaches out and scratches Hyacinth between the ears. 

"We go get wood together." 

Permalink

Hyacinth can't help it, she breaks out in a laugh. 

"That's an innuendo on my world. Getting wood."

Permalink

"In-you-end-o is?"

Permalink

She grabs her hand, and shows her.

Permalink

She flushes, then grins again. 

"Innuendo very good. Good teach me this word." 

"What word for thing do after innuendo get wood?"

Permalink

Hyacinth grins. "Sex."

Permalink

"Sex. Sex joke good. I had many sex joke with old knight. I..." She pauses. "I sexed old knight. And more than. You understand?"

Permalink

She squeezes Aria's hand. "You loved the old knight?"

And she shoves her own knowledge of love through the link, all the old relationships she had -

Permalink

"Yes. I loved old knight. I think can... learn love you. Not know if wood work, but maybe. Wood say truth."

Permalink

This strange woman thinks she loves her? 

What did she even do?

Well, if love is needed to make the wood work, then... She guesses she'll just have to try. 

"I will try to love you if you need that to make the wood work." 

Permalink

"Try enough." 

She squeezes Hyacinth's hand. 

"Go together?"

Permalink

"Yes," Hyacinth says. "We go together." 

Permalink

"I ask guards get armor, weapons." 

And she steps out of the room, and starts talking quickly.

Permalink

The guards bring several sets of armor, and some linen clothes that look to be in roughly her size. They're dyed a natural-looking blue, rather than the bright synthetic dyes of her own rose-pattern skirt.

Permalink

And they leave her her privacy to change.

She intends to change —

Permalink

And suddenly she's fully wearing the set of armor that fits her. 

That's new. 

Is she some kind of... video game character now?

Permalink

Experimentally, she picks up her old clothing and attempts to put it into her inventory.

Permalink

It goes!

Permalink

Well isn't that convenient.

She could get used to this, she thinks.

Permalink

She makes sure she can retrieve them again, then puts them back into her inventory.

Fully dressed in linens and leathers, she opens the door to the bunkhouse again.

Permalink

The guard is clearly surprised to see her dressed again so quickly, but bows and leads her onward.

Permalink

Aria returns, this time wearing leather armor similar to Hyacinth's. 

"We go together," she says. 

Permalink

"We go together."

Permalink

Aria hands her an axe and a bow.

Permalink

Cool, her first tools! 

She accepts them, and a quiver one of the guards hands her full of flint-headed arrows.
