Oh, definitely not, it's just... surprising.

...er, maybe you should find a more comfortable place, though.

[purrrnicious]

Oh, duh, why didn't I think of that?

[/sarcasm]

[softlyfalling]

...well, all right, would you appreciate any assistance, then.

[purrrnicious]

[She looks genuinely confused.]

From who?

[softlyfalling]

[ she sighs. ]

Who do you think? I'm offering.

[purrrnicious]

. . .

Why would you even want to?

[softlyfalling]

Why wouldn't I?

[purrrnicious]

I don't know. It's not like there's much to do, anyway.

[Rubbing her arm awkwardly.]

[softlyfalling]

I can at least help you get settled in a chair or something, since that seems better than just being on the ground...

[ accept outstretched arm y/n ]

[purrrnicious]

[well

okay



uncharacteristically hesitant but she'll do it]

[softlyfalling]

[ shrike bends to actually also scoop her up with her other arm

in a princess carry, ]

I think there's some chairs over by the pool that'd be comfortable...

[purrrnicious]

[She just sighs, because the whole princess carry thing happens a lot.]

Why the chairs by the pool?

[softlyfalling]

[ ok time to change direction— ]

All right, not by the pool, got it.

[ perhaps... a bench. or something. ]

[purrrnicious]

Was that a trick? You were going to dump me in the water, weren't you.

[softlyfalling]

Kohime.

What have I ever done that would give you the idea I'd do that.

...there's just lounge chairs over there I thought would be more comfortable for your legs as they are now. That's all.

[purrrnicious]

So? Just because you've never thrown me into the pool before doesn't mean you won't do it now.

[softlyfalling]

...I know there's a difference between knowing something academically and actually knowing something, but honestly, Kohime.

[ and plunks her down on a bench, sitting up. ]

[purrrnicious]

What?

[softlyfalling]

Just, well—

...no one on avante's going to hurt you, you know. Gold's prank cooking aside.

[purrrnicious]

I. . . I know that.

[softlyfalling]

...even Cardinal. Cardinal has a lot of strongly-held principles, but they know they can't impose them on the rest of the unit.

[purrrnicious]

[She frowns a little, confused.]

Uh, I don't think they have a strongly-held principal about where I sit.

[softlyfalling]

They seem to think you find them worrying.

[purrrnicious]

Okay, what are you talking about? Where is this even coming from?

[softlyfalling]

[ she takes a seat beside. ]

Cardinal's worried that you think they're going to, I don't know, sacrifice you or something.

"Worried" probably isn't the right word, but close enough.
