Who: Astralin and you! Where: Meadowlands, on his new farm. What: Astralin needs help setting up his new farm, anyone is welcome to help out. Warnings: None.
Prompts below! If you want to mingle, feel free to make your own prompts.
[It wasn't unusual for people to come onto the farm. It was quickly being built, but most of it was finished. So, he isn't surprised when he sees someone unfamiliar in the chicken coop. Eyebrow raised as he takes a step forward, and unconsciously reaches for his scythe. Not that he thought this person was dangerous, but he couldn't be too sure with how late in the night it was starting to get. His eyes staring down at the young woman warily, but he didn't seem dangerous. More on guard, than anything.]
May I help you?
[His hand is still on his scythe, but unless she attacks him unprovoked, it doesn't seem like he's actually going to pull it out on her. Again, just a thing of caution, as one of the chickens immediately recognizes Astralin as it's mother, and walks past Lapis to meet Astralin. The man kneeling down to the chicken, gently holding it in his arms as the chickens don't seem to be alarmed at Lapis' sudden appearance or her demeanor, which is already a good sign for him that she didn't come here for nefarious reasons.]
[ Lapis has been to farms before, but it's never been due to... pleasant circumstances. So she's never really seen the animals - so the moment she spots the chickens, she can't resist. Maybe she should've visited earlier in the day, but she did always tend to be a nightowl; arriving in another world wasn't going to change that.
Luckily she's calm and docile enough not to send any feathers flying, and she may have been inwardly squealing a little at being able to pet one, before the... owner, she assumes, approaches. She stands up from her crouch, and then still has to crane her neck up to look at the man.
The scythe is noted, but she is a stranger on his land. She doesn't blame him for the caution, but Lapis does very much seem like a harmless young woman, if eerily calm in the face of a weapon. ]
Oh, sorry, I was just curious...
[ Her eyes drift to the bird in his arms again, and awe sparkles in her eyes once more. Flat her expression may be, it's clear she's thinking of how cute it is. ]
[The scythe is withdrawn for the time being, as he feels there is no reason to have it out. She seems to be a stranger, yes, but not a dangerous one, which is good. Nothing is screaming at him that she's a threat to him, so he's content to greet her in his usual, somewhat aloof way. His hand simply waving at the young woman now, as he lets go of the chicken that found solace in his arms. Gently motioning it back to Lapis, since she really seems to be enjoying these chickens.]
Thank you. The one you were fixated with is named 'Scramble'.
[Shinjiro... He's not going to question his son's ways, but that's one hell of a name for a chicken, that's to be sure. Still, there's no hint of laughter on his face, as he's still a bit. Surprised by the name of the chicken to begin with, but he does manage a smile when as one of the cows seem to wander into the chicken coop at the sudden commotion.]
Lapis raises a fist to cough into it for a second, though she does nod in greeting - also slightly aloof, despite her attempt to suppress a giggle. And her attention drifts back to the chicken as it's motioned back to her, not hesitating to crouch down as it waddles over. So cute... ]
Mm, that's right. I've just been exploring as I gather my bearings...
[ There's no way she could just sit still. And she perks up when she notices the cows approach, canting her head as her expression softens a little bit more. They're all super cute!! ]
Oh, and my name is Lapis. [ Being called Miss is weird. ] Are you a... native of this place?
[ It's the first thought that comes to mind, considering he's established a farm. ]
[Listen, he knows the name is a bit... Well. You know. Still, he wasn't going to say anything after his surrogate son basically named the thing. So, scramble it is and all. Out of all the chickens, this one seems to be the most social out of all of them, and once it waddles over, it stares up at Lapis and doesn't move. In fact, it looks like it's expecting a pet or two, having gotten used to the way that Astralin takes care of it.]
No, I am not. Surprisingly, I am also one of the Chosen.
[Astralin motions the cow to come toward him, ensuring that it's not in Lapis' way or anything. A genuinely happy smile appearing on his face once the cow comes forward, and he runs his hand across it's head. Eyes turning toward Lapis again, as he turns his attention to the younger girl.]
What do you think of the place so far? The natives of these lands are... Quite kind, I must admit myself. They assisted with the building, and live stock.
