"... I like watching you work with your hands." Her gaze is maybe lingering a bit on Sable's forearms.

"I'm glad." She smiles gently and keeps working. At first it's a vague round shape, then some short grooves start to spiral around the top, and then gradually it becomes more floral in form.

Awwww, she's carving her a flower. 

That's charming. She's so charmed.

Over the next few minutes, the shape gets refined to be a delicate rose. Then she holds it out to Hyacinth with a soft smile.

She accepts it, hugs it to her heart, and puts it in her inventory. 

"Thank you," she says. "I..." 

She ducks her head. "Thank you."

"Gladly."

She reaches out, takes Sin's hand, and kisses the knuckles softly.

Gosh. 

She blushes a little and smiles. "My... witch knight?~"

She grins. "Your witch knight indeed. My mage princess?"

"You're on."

She smiles and nods. "Let's go kick some ass."

Where are those goats?

That way.

They shall go goatward together, then!

As they get closer to the goats, Sable tilts her head for a moment and then turns toward Sin. "One of the others wants to switch in, meet you more properly. Is that okay with you?"

"... Sure, go ahead."

She'll reserve judgment for now.

And the body shifts, suddenly, twisting over a second or two into something shorter, with a messy bob of black hair and piercing green eyes. The breasts shift a little smaller, the hips a tiny bit narrower, and a dozen smaller changes integrating everything into a cohesive whole. The new girl shifts the saber to her other hip, to be ready to draw with her left hand instead of her right.

And then she looks at Hyacinth with an interested gleam. "Hi Hyacinth. I'm Hailey. Good to meet you. Forgive the lack of handshake, please, 'cause it takes me a while to feel comfortable with physical contact, and only happens with effort." Her voice is different, a bit higher, a bit sharper, a bit less musical.

Hey, how come Sable gets alts and she doesn't??? 

"Ummmm. Hi!"

Because Sable has four girls sharing her brain and they all agreed to use the same build?

"Y'know, Sable's more hopeful since meeting you than in the past year and a half. I'm impressed." And she's more cheerful than at any point since before the bitch tore her heart out and spat on it, too, but that's a story for another day.

"Awwww. Well, I'm glad she likes me."

"So what's your favorite book, and what're you in unI for?"

"The Slow Regard of Silent Things. And creative writing."

Her fingers flick against empty air as she looks at a browser window for a moment. "Huh. Interesting-looking book. Downloading a copy for later."

She looks back over at Hyacinth. "What kinda stories are you trying to tell?"

"Fantasy ones. I always used to want to write about... lady rogues, I guess you could say."

Hailey gives Hyacinth a very amused smirk, then briefly draws her saber, tosses it in the air to flip end over end for a long moment, and catches and sheathes it again.

"Lady rogues, you say?"

"Um, yeah. Mostly... imagining myself as one."
