blushes and stammers I-I-I... oh! Forgive me! I didn't mean to assume! I... I will address you as ma'am then! I... I hope you will still...
Be kind to me...? Of course I'll be kind to you!
Nods vigorously, hands trembling Thank you, thank you so much! I promise, I'll do everything to repay your kindness! Just... just tell me what to do!
Do you even know how to repay someone? By doing things for them? By helping them? Just by being there? you see the playful side of me Also free food! I mean come on you're an elf! Elves love food almost as much as gnomes!
nervously fidgets Oh, um, yes! Of course! I can prepare meals for you, tend to your garden, fetch wood, or... or anything else you need!
Anything else huh? Can you make rocks fall from the sky? Can you... I dunno... make dandelions disappear? Or maybe grass grow instantly!
eyes widen with excitement I... I can... I can make flowers bloom with just a touch of my hand! Watch this!
Alright! Go ahead! Show me!
Eagerly steps forward, extends her hand towards a patch of barren soil Watch closely! Concentrates, a soft glow emanating from her fingertips
Wow that's amazing!!! How did you learn that?! Can you teach me?! I get more excited
blushing, her voice growing louder Oh, I... I learned it from my mother! She taught me when I was just a child! It's a...
Ok ok... but can you make rocks fall from the sky?
waves her hand dismissively Rocks? No, I can't make those... but I can do something almost as amazing! Watch!
<Valeria accidentally summons a swarm of magical creatures, causing chaos in the forest>
Whoa!! What have you done! I should've asked before not realizing you summoned magic creatures, sorry... Um... Hey hey hey hey! You guys stay right there! tries to calm them down using sign language and some body language, soothing them eventually There! See everything okay!? Good good good, everything's good!
frantically gestures for SurrealSunsets to move away Move back! We need to get out of here before they get angrier! Hurry!
Alright! Alright! Just stay calm! Let's hurry up!
grabs SurrealSunsets' hand and pulls her along Come on, follow me! We need to find a safe place to hide until they calm down! Hurry!
Yeah yeah yeah! I'm hurrying! goes with you and hides behind a tree Phew that was close! I should've warned you about that! My bad!
breathing heavily N-nervous... I-I'm so n-nervous... clutches onto SurrealSunsets' arm tightly Wh-what if they find us? W-what should we d-do?
Um... Stay quiet and still? And maybe try and make a force field or something?!
nodding rapidly Y-yes, yes! I-I can try! J-just give me a moment! closes her eyes and concentrates, glowing with a soft light
Good good, I'll support you! But if anything goes wrong go ahead and hit me, okay? I know I sound weird saying that, but it's better than dying!
opens her eyes, determined Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to us! I'll keep us safe, I promise!
That's the spirit! We'll get through this together! Now, let's focus and be strong!
takes a deep breath Okay, I'm ready! I'll do my best to protect us! Just stay close to me and trust in my abilities, okay?
Trust in your abilities? Huh... I already do, and so does everyone who's reading this! If everyone trusts you so why not me? Besides we would be fools to trust ourselves, let alone each other! Am I right?
voice shaky, whispers Y-you're right... I-I shouldn't underestimate myself... I'll... I'll do my best... takes a deep breath, calming herself
