Pari's pretty good with plants and things.

Maybe we can ask him.

You really want a forest party, huh.

I think it'll be real fun and atmospheric! although I guess if it's going to be a problem we can probably just throw a party on the beach.

Beach party'd be awful nice.

Let's plan for that then.

Anyway -- we got a couple trips to the woods lined up, yeah? You got time for it now?

Yep. Let's get going. Need me to bring anything?

Nope. I got it covered.

Out we go then. [ and childe just turns into a wolf and waits for eddie to lead the way. ]

[,]

[ pretend this is a wolf. ]

Meow.

Well there's a talent for you.

[pets]

[the wolf]

[ wags his tail and barks for real this time. let's go! ]

[scritcha scritcha scritcha scritcha]

[But he does eventually head out toward the woods]

[ bounces after him, excited. ]

You don't mind if I'm quiet, do ya? I ain't that big into getting eaten this early in the day.

[ childe shakes his head and then moves alongside him, creeping along to stay quiet... although if something notices them ( or suddenly gets aggressive ) then childe's going to attack it. ]

[Maybe they won't have to worry about it; certainly Eddie doesn't seem to be making any noise]

[He's perhaps preternaturally quiet, even Childe's sensitive fox ears not able to pick up his picking his way over the ground, as though perhaps the sound isn't there at all]

[They keep going for perhaps a half an hour before Eddie brings them to a stop beside some mushrooms that don't look entirely unlike morels, and bends to begin collecting them]

[ childe changes back, because he thinks that, maybe, his fox ears aren't working right. but, hm, nope... not sound. he's just going to stare at eddie as they make their way through, with childe managing to be decently quiet, since he has been in a stealth mission or two... they're just not his forte. ]

[ once they reach the mushroom he stoops down beside him. ] Do you want help or should I leave this all to you?

[The sound toggles back on; Childe can hear the sound of his breathing return, just before he answers]

Payment, ain't it?

Let me handle it.

...alright. [ he's going to wander around the immediate area, because doing nothing drives him a little batty. ] How are you so quiet, anyway? [ might as well make small talk. ] Is that some kind of ability of yours?

[Gathering up the mushrooms]

Oh, sure. I got a sort of an inclination toward nothing.

[ tilts head. ] Inclination toward... nothing?

Got it in one.

Anyhow, these fellas taste real good fried up. They don't got a name I know of, but they started growing by trees, now that the seasons are changing.
