[OPEN LOG]

WHO: Terra and OPEN
WHAT: Thunderstorm Stuffs!
WHEN: 9/23
WHERE: Various, ending at Islet 1
WARNING: Excessive Cuteness


Though Terra could smell the moisture in the air indicating that it would rain later, she didn't know -when- and she certainly didn't know how hard. For the better part of the morning, she was exploring the islets, hoping to find something useful, whether it was some wood, fruit or even a prey animal to hunt and catch. However, she was caught fully unprepared for when the storm actually hit, and got caught in the sudden downpour. The heavy rainfall, the growling thunder and flashes of lightning found Terra making a hasty sprint for the nearest mana pool, hair and clothing quickly getting drenched.

Fortunately once she popped through the mana pool with her belongings, she wasn't that far from the shack she had claimed. Islet occupants may be aware of the green haired lass running away from the mana pool towards one of the shacks- though some of her fruit may have fallen out of her bag in the process. Once she was safely home, the door wasn't quite completely closed in her haste to get inside. She'd shut it sooner or later, but first, she wanted to try to dry off. And maybe try to plug some of the leaks in her home so she wouldn't get rained on. As it was her first thunderstorm, she was a bit at a loss and uneasy, but things could be worse, right?

Mickey blinked, confused. To him, that was like trying to randomly change the topic. "Of course I do. Gosh, everyone gets scared. But that shouldn't stop you from doing what's right. There are a lot of things that are stronger than fear."

[esper_magic]

It might indeed seem that way, though to Terra, it related to her topic. She was ... weird. We know. "Stronger than fear?" She echoed in surprise. A lot of things stronger than fear? She couldn't think of a single one.

Ignis has said similar things though - not letting her fear govern her, and that was -hard-. Even knowing he had offered to help her through things, to support her - it only did a little to alleviate the fear she felt.

[souris_keteer]

"Like the love for my friends." Mickey smiled, putting a hand on his heart. "That's way stronger than anything I'm afraid of. "And the sadness I know I'd have if anything happened to them."

[esper_magic]

Aw, Mickey, that's a really cute sentiment. It.. leaves her looking totally confused though, for a number of reasons. "The love for your friends...?" Not a thing she's ever felt, alas. And 'Love' is a concept foreign to her anyway.

[souris_keteer]

Mickey offered his hand to her. "You can feel it too, can't you? That warm, happy feeling when you think about your friends?"

[esper_magic]

She stared blankly at the offered hand for a second. No offense Mickey, the last time someone did that it was a WEIRD GESTURE (to her. Actually Ignis had just soothed her hand and kissed the back of it so she was wondering if it was some weird kind of custom now.) She half raises her hand, about to place it in his, only to pause, a little unsure.

".... no, I can't." ... was that rude? She didn't mean to be rude. She looked confused more than anything. Did she even have friends? Everyone she has talked to has been really nice to her, but were they friends? Or just allies? Emotions are complicated okay Mickey, she's struggling to figure this one out -- even though it's a concept that PROBABLY isn't that hard to grasp ...for most people. And she's aware of that.

[souris_keteer]

Mickey's face fell at that. She couldn't? He remembered that she had forgotten so much, or simply hadn't learned it. Maybe both of those things applied to friendship to. He nodded firmly, making a decision. He wouldn't just make sure they had happy memories - he'd make sure she knew and understood friendship!

"You will." he says with the utmost confidence. "I know you will. I know you have a great light in your heart, and that it draws people to you. And soon you'll have more friends than you know what to do with... And you'll feel that warmth within you. It'll make you capable of some really great things."

[esper_magic]

Awww, he had such confidence in her. She hoped it wasn't misplaced - but she doubted it. He WAS right, some how people were drawn to her. In a way. She gave him a small smile, appreciative. She didn't know about 'more friends than she knows what to do with' but if she had even one friend, that would be nice. Although... "How will I know if I have a friend..?"

[souris_keteer]

"Well, for starters..." Mickey grinned, jabbing a thumb to his chest. "You already have one! You and I are friends, Terra, and that's a fact!"

[esper_magic]

She.. totally did not expect that answer. "We are?" How many other friends did she have and she didn't know? Gosh she should really ask around of the people she knew. ... of course if she asked someone and they said no, boy that would be embarrassing.

[souris_keteer]

"We sure are!" Mickey put his hands on his hips. "It doesn't take a lot to make a friend, you know! As long as you like each other, you're all set."

[esper_magic]

Ooooh, so THAT'S how you friendship. She smiled at the Musketeer, "I'm glad we're friends, then, Mickey." She'll have to check with the other people she liked and make sure they're all friends too. And really, there wasn't a one person she didn't like.
