Survival tactic-turned-preference? What does that mean? He needs to eat garden weeds for survival? Left in a state of confusion, she decidedly does not ask. Before she can even think of a reply, he is already taking out something from his pockets, and—

He really is like a lawn mower... Edna watches the sight in fascination, a mixture of awe and disgust left in her silence. Just like what Victor said, the garden weeds are consumed like an everyday snack with nothing left behind, not even a sole crumb of dirt. She can commend him for the iron stomach, but that was still ... bizarre. She wonders if he only eats grass and weeds, and not rocks. Maybe she should dare him to eat rocks. 

❛  ...It was quick and sufficient.  ❜ And absolutely weird. ❛  So wait, you're actually not a ghost?  ❜ What a shame. Edna may be a seraph, but she isn't a ghost ghost. She thought she finally met a ghost ghost! The disappointment is immeasurable. ❛  Victor made it seem like you were some unholy, ghastly entity who seeks to ruin his life forever, so I expected a lot more out of you.  ❜ 

And what she actually got was some amicable living personification of a lawn mover who finds simple joy in eating garden weeds. Wow. Just wow. How is he worse than Zaveid? There must be more to this story...

❛  It seems that you two have some bad blood going on for a while. Well, how did that happen? Did you eat his favorite flowers or something?  ❜ 

'The Lawn Mower'? Victor must've mentioned his diet. But why would he--

...Was Victor ranting about Zig raiding his garden again? He loved that thing just as much as Elle sometimes. From the sound of it, Edna wanted to know if he really did commit the two cardinal sins Victor loathed so much by choice.

"I do eat them, yeah. Part of a survival tactic-turned-preference," Mostly just a preference given his new city boy life, but that's a bunch of boring details. "Did you... want me to do that right now? I got a snack with me for the first part."

Out from a hidden pocket in his jacket comes a fresh piece of crab grass, roots and all. And as Victor said, Zig started with the roots and ate the plant in a few chomps like it was a completely normal snack. And when it was completely down, there wasn't even a slight twinge of disgust.

"Was that good enough? As for the haunting thing, it's actually not that interesting. Victor thinks I'm this immovable force always stubborning my way through his garden locks, but Elle just gives me a spare key," The key in question happened to be in a custom red Bunnykins keyholder. Elle insisted. "Don't tell Victor though-- she'll get in trouble."

❛  Do they? I suppose we lucked out then.  ❜ Living on a secluded mountain her whole life, Edna doesn't really know much about dogs at all until she came along on this journey. The most she's seen are birds and squirrels and other animals that enjoy mountain terrain. ❛  I trust you to be this little one's playmate,  ❜ she flatly replies, watching them engage in some sort of tugging war with his cape—

Oh, he apparently lost the war. Not that he had a chance of winning anyway. Edna watches him fall to the ground, the puppy triumphantly licking his face. She walks over and squats down to join them, slowly reaching out a hand to pet the puppy's head. It gives another happy bark, staying still to enjoy the attention. She's never actually touched a puppy before. It's so soft and ... cute. But before she can reach over to touch its tiny paws, it tries to climb over Meebo's face, as if to perch itself on his head. ❛  It's not just the cape; you are the toy,  ❜ she remarks, trying to help pry it off him, but the puppy is stubborn. 

❛  Okay, no Sorey.  ❜ Although, she does wonder if Sorey would laugh his head off if he were here. ❛  He said that we're free to take a break today anyway, so he probably won't mind if we come back late. You might as well be an unofficial puppy-sitter until it gets bored of you, Meebo. I'll supervise. We just have to find an area for you two to play in, which shouldn't be a problem since this is Ladylake.  ❜ 

"Dogs and puppies, they chase after things that aren't there all the time. Don't they? And she did yes." Lailah, yeah. Mikleo had remembered what she had told them and of course the last thing he needed was Rose screaming at him again. Did they really need to drag Sorey into this. Really he could handle this, and then move on.

"Can you just please trust me with this. The only reason it looks as if the puppy is playing with the 'air' is because it finds my cape is entertaining." Mikleo took hold of the part of the cape that the puppy was playing with and once more began to head out of the alleyway. The puppy followed behind, wagging its tail happily before pouncing and grabbing the edge of the cape. "H-hey, no stop it. That is not a toy. Let go." He pulled but the puppy pulled back, until Mikleo lost his balance and fell back on his butt.

Why. Again, on the ground and by a canine of all things. The puppy finally let go and licked at his face, tail wagging faster. "I still think we don't need to get Sorey, but this puppy is set on not letting me out of its sight it seems."

Lantanas... Yep, she's definitely never heard of them. They certainly are pretty and colorful, though. Edna mainly picked out the yellow and orange ones, alongside some pink and red ones: colors that would be reminiscent of herself, and the other half are just the ones she found solely pretty. 

❛  Thanks.  ❜ She's picked enough, so she briefly peeks at the mountain over her shoulder upon facing the stranger. ❛  Centuries ago, there might've been herbs here. It was a lot greener, and nature once bloomed here.  ❜ Until... Well, malevolence isn't good for anything, especially from a dragon. ❛  It's my home. Throughout my time of living on there, I don't really recall seeing herbs, though. Just flowers and grass and rocks. Even though Rayfalke is the largest mountain here, you'd have better luck at any other mountain if herbs are your goal.  ❜

A contemplative pause. ❛  Or Marlind. You could try there. It used to be a town ridden with disease, but now it's grown into a town with some medical resources after the malevolence was purged from it. It's nearby.  ❜ 

Oh, someone new. A bit of a surprise... and perhaps relief too, considering that Etude is almost certainly lost in this strange land. And confusion too--what in the world is an earth seraph? It seems like common knowledge, so it's best to not ask questions and blend in.

"It is my first time here, yes." Etude answers with a small nod. Answering the questions would be a good direction to start with. "I haven't seen many people in this area, so please forgive me for my staring. As for the lantanas... no, they're not poisonous." The berries, possibly. But the flowers themselves, no. Unless this world's flowers are different...? "They suit you, miss...!"

The mountain? They follow her direction, looking at... well, they hope the nearby town isn't that far away. "Really? Not even herbs? That's unfortunate... have you been there, if you know so much about it...?"

Some alternative verses for my non-Tales + non-Z.estiria followers since I know some people have a hard time trying to interact with Edna in her main, canon verses:

��𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐀𝐔 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄.  /  She's a girl who lives on Rayfalke with her older brother, E.izen. Rayfalke is an abandoned castle on the mountains that once used to be a kingdom centuries ago; it was already in ruins by the time the siblings claimed it as their home away from people who shunned them out due to the extremely bad luck E.izen always brought with him. The few people who ventured past Rayfalke during their travels mistook Edna and E.izen as the remaining royal descendants of those who once lived there, and the two played along if it meant continuing to live in peace, thus leading Edna to be known as the 'princess' of Rayfalke.

One day, however, E.izen left home without telling her, leaving only a letter detailing his plan to embark on a journey of his own because he couldn't risk his bad luck accidentally injuring her. Heartbroken by it, Edna decides to live by herself in the abandoned castle while clinging onto hope that her brother would one day change his mind and come home. Eventually, she finds out that E.izen's curse did affect her through physical contact with his letters, each one she receives slowly making her figure transparent until her entire body is semi-transparent. Some people eventually believed she is the ghost of a former Rayfalke princess, which she also plays along with so that she can continue living in isolation. The absence of her brother sometimes makes her wander around, though, possibly letting her meet new people along the way.

𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒:

❀ E.izen's bad luck is a direct result of a curse being inflicted onto a villager named Theodora, a woman whom E.izen crossed paths with in passing on the way home some time ago. Because he was within the vicinity when she got cursed, it slowly affected E.izen, cursing him with bad luck. As time passes, the bad luck can range from trivial incidents to something possibly life-threatening, so that sparked his desire to leave home. He still sends letters and gifts to Edna, not knowing that she's already affected by his curse. ❀ She isn't really a 'ghost' in the true sense of the word for this AU because she's not 'dead.' She's just an ordinary human girl who is semi-transparent and cannot physically age anymore because of a side effect from a curse her brother passed onto her. Since her body can't age anymore, she doesn't need to eat or sleep, but her body still functions like a human would. This is a direct reference to her identity as a seraph from her canon verse. That being said, she can still touch and interact with anyone and anything. There is no known cure for her semi-transparency thus far, but she honestly doesn't mind it because it spooks people, another reference to how she enjoys scaring people in canon as well. Seraphim can't show up in mirrors in canon, but since Edna's only semi-transparent in this verse, I'll cheat the system a bit and say she can show up anyway ✌️ ❀ She sometimes writes letters to E.izen, but will never find the courage to send them. ❀ For a 'princess,' she prefers simple, cute dresses. She also has a soft spot for squirrels and cute animals. ❀ She isn't very good at cooking anything that's not simple, or stew. She wants to learn how to bake more than cook because she likes eating snacks. She also likes tea parties ... for the snacks. She is not gluttonous, though, and eats moderately. ❀ Edna is always carrying her umbrella as a weapon, and for sun protection. It also helps her look like a lady ✨✨

𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄.  /  Edna lives with her older brother, E.izen, in a small apartment meant for just the two of them. Despite her young looks, she is a high school student in her senior year. When she isn't in school or at home, she can be found taking walks around the neighborhood, and she has a soft spot for any stray cats wandering around. She'll deny liking normins, but if one looks closer, she is always buying something with normins printed on it. It's totally not an obsession. She'll say you're wrong every time.

𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒:

❀ She is well-rounded in all the school subjects she takes, but her favorite ones are science and art. She isn't too big on studying in general, but she gets decent grades, has never failed any classes, and enjoys learning about nature. If not nature, then she also enjoys learning about geology and gemology, and any other science topic pertaining to the earth. The only subject she genuinely doesn't like and is not good with is P.E ( Physical Education ) due to her frail body. She is healthy with no illnesses, but she also gets injured easily because she's very slender. ❀ As a student, she's the type who doodles in her notes if the teacher is rambling, but her notes are straightforward and easy to understand, so she doesn't worry about a test/quiz. If she's really lazy, though, she'll sometimes copy notes from a friend or classmate. She is prideful, so if she does get a low mark for something, she will try to get a better score next time, half of it out of wanting to improve while the other half is out of plain spite LOL ❀ She likes trying on cute dresses and outfits if she's outside shopping, but she likes shopping for accessories a little more since she enjoys decorating. Speaking of decorating, her phone case is decked out with normin stickers, and her room at home is also decked out with various normin-related things. It's totally not an obsession... ❀ This is her school uniform and will be her main outfit for this verse unless you want her to wear something else for a plot idea. This AU takes place in modern Japan for muses who can't fit into her main canon verse. I'm not too sure where in Japan exactly, since I do not live there, but I think she and E.izen would probably live in a quiet, lowkey neighborhood to reference them living away from humans in their canon story. ❀ She's the type of person who spams you with emojis while texting just to annoy you 💛 ❀ She doesn't mind exploring new places as long as they aren't too crowded or noisy. She'll make an exception for amusement parks, though, because it's rare for her to be able to go to one. As for rides, she enjoys rollercoasters or just anything more fast-paced. That being said, she doesn't particularly like ferris wheels because she thinks they're sappy. ❀ I don't really see her as a hardcore gamer girl, but I think she'd really enjoy Neko A.tsume lol 🐈 I can also see her playing anything simple and cute that involves lots of decorating because she'd put in lots of hours for those games. I don't think she'd be a fan of games that are timed or are purposely designed to test the brain. ❀ She enjoys cartoons more than anime, but will still watch both, and she also enjoys occasional manga. She mainly likes reading anything funny and lighthearted.

❛  Marlind is over there—  ❜ She is using her umbrella to point towards a nearby direction, then to the opposite one where a royal-like town could be seen in the distance despite being further away. ❛  —while Ladylake is that way. If you prefer smaller crowds, try Marlind. Don't know how you got here with all these rumors still floating around, but you should watch yourself while you're in this area. People won't be happy knowing you were on Rayfalke.  ❜ And well, being a seraph, Edna can't really do much about humans anyway. She still isn't a big fan of them, hence her isolated lifestyle. This girl can see her, though, so Edna knows not to disregard her as a simple human girl. It's not the first time a human wanders to her mountain, after all. With a shrug, she adds, ❛  Other humans can't see me, though, so if you want to go anywhere at all, you'll have to put up with people wondering if you're losing your mind as we talk.  ❜

❝ I might be a bit lost . . . ❞ Utterly lost, she has no idea where her party went nor where to find them. In these unknown lands it's better to stick together. But it seems that all her family and friends had other plans in mind. At best her so called fiance will notice her absence and start looking for her. . . or so she hopes for. It won't be long for someone to find her either way. ❝ Is there a town nearby ? Or somewhere I could rest ? ❞ The sun is setting down and all she got are a few provisions to rely on. Perhaps @ednaeflowers could lend her a hand on these times of need.

STARTER CALL.

Venturing up to Edna's home, Ludger's carefully balancing a small plate with a lid on top in his hand while he climbs. Though once Edna herself comes down to see him, he sheds his travel pack and gets down on one knee to offer the plate.

When Edna lifts the lid, she'd be graced with a jumbo cupcake cut into the shape of her iconic umbrella. Although where Phoenix's doll would've been is instead a candy white kitty with grey paws and a big bell collar.

As Edna checks his creation out, Ludger's at work writing as fast as he can manage without turning into scribbles. Though before long, he flips his notebook over, 'It's my birthday today! I always make cupcakes for my friends and family so people are happy with me on my special day. Hope this cupcakes makes you smile! (ﾟ∀ﾟ人)'

This is ... quite a strange sight for her. Because of the high elevation, Edna easily sees a figure attempting to climb up the mountain, so she goes to meet them; it just didn't occur to her that the figure in question is Ludger, and he's... 

❛  Lurin, what is this?  ❜ she asks curiously, head tilted. Knowing that he cannot talk, though, she is already stepping forward to take the lid off. He is clearly offering it to her, so when the lid comes off at last, she is expecting to see some sort of dessert to go with the plate—and dessert, she does get. It looks rather giant, and this shape! She recognizes this shape anywhere. Edna is fascinated by the intricate details, her eyes taking in the whole thing—

Is that a cat? It looks so ... cute—

She is now reading the notebook instead, not wanting to finish that thought. At the first sentence, however, she blinks. He made her a giant dessert for his birthday...? That's ... a little weird, but she did not know it was his birthday and the thought makes her feel a little guilty, just a little. Excluding her umbrella, she is empty-handed... Edna is used to receiving plenty of gifts before, but she knows how to be thankful when it calls for gratitude, so while she doesn't have a gift for him, she will accept the cupcake from him if that's what he wants. He has never done anything wrong to her, so she has no real reason to reject it. Onii-chan raised her with manners, after all.

❛  ...Thanks,  ❜ she says firstly, taking the plate and hoping it won't topple over. ( It will be hard ordeal to try eating such a cute cat... ) ❛  You really went above and beyond with this, huh? As expected of Lurin, the Miracle Chef.  ❜ Now, she takes an awkward pause, averts her eyes, and mutters, ❛  And happy birthday, I guess.  ❜

[ednaeflowers]

Scrutinizing her handiwork, she thinks about pointing out the stray strands, but in all fairness, it was Mana's decision to match and Edna has no heart to scold someone as ... gentle as Mana about something as trivial as hair. Although they're both gentle-natured, scolding Mana is not like scolding Sorey. Edna has to find a balance for them individually.

Edna simply nods with approval. ❛  Well done. Wear it proudly, like a lady would.  ❜ She looks at Mana's hair again, then at her bunny clip in thought. ❛  And accessories are also good for increasing a lady's cuteness appeal. I have my hairband, so you'll need an accessory too—or else it'll seem incomplete.  ❜

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘♡ ❛ It probably wasn't that hard of a task but sometimes she got incredibly self-conscious about the points of her ears or how exactly certain colors looked on her. She wasn't going to beat the pastel Christmas allegations with this one but that was alright.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘♡ ❛ The usual bunny hair clip is removed as she portions off some hair, tying it up with a neat bow, although that isn't to say there are no stray stands sticking out. ❝All done!❞ maybe one day she should get Edna a bunny hairclip to match the one she has? But this was a gift so who knows where it originated from.

[ednaeflowers]

❛  Um, to Rose since you're so keen on serving her?  ❜ she dryly replies, not missing a beat. She forgot her umbrella at the table when she stomped over, so he's safe for now... For now... 

She looks at him flatly. He literally just described what a manservant does while proclaiming he is not a manservant... Wow. Before she can read more of the text to find more opportunities to take a jab at him, the book is suddenly closed. Without her umbrella, she knows she cannot win in a struggle for the book, so she settles with giving him her iciest glare for the remark. 

The fact that he willingly chooses Rose's food just so he wouldn't have to deal with her... That sort of offends Edna. She knows it's their thing to bicker all the time, but this sort of ... stung.

But wait. His voice was shaking a little. That's totally a bluff then. 

She is now walking away from him slowly. ❛  Okay, since I'm so insufferable, maybe I'll go find and ask Rose right now to make you something to eat. She never backs down from a chance to cook if someone asks her to. Since she'll be the one making it, that means you'll eat it, right?  ❜

The RAPIDITY at which Mikleo shrinks away in his spot as she approaches may have been HUMOROUS... to anyone but HIM, at least. He half expects her to brandish that hard hitting umbrella of hers to knock him clear across the head, yet is only SOMEWHAT relieved when he is spared, and her attentions turned unto the text he crackles shakily betwixt his fingers.

" Manservant to who!? " Not HER, that's for sure! " I just enjoy... helping out where I'm needed! Even if that involves serving snacks and sweets and... cleaning up after Sorey! SOMEONE has to be responsible around... here... "

The realization dawns on him far too late -- he sounds EXACTLY like a manservant -- and for a moment, he can only stare at the text in disbelief. Is THIS what his life has become? Manservant to Sorey and target practice dummy for Edna? There MUST be a way to salvage this, there MUST be!

He snaps the book shut and turns, huffing. " A-Anyways, ff it's between dubious food and that attitude of yours, I'll take the food! " Nevermind that he's witnessed Rose put many out of commission, Sorey included, with her methods of culinary madness.

❛  The dogs don't need your permission to gravitate to you.  ❜ They may be seraphim, but not even they can control an animal like that. She is very amused, though, so she follows him and the puppy towards the way they came from. To give it some credit, the puppy does follow him, but it still occasionally tries to leap up to swat at his cape nonetheless. 

Already, Edna notices the flaws of his plan. ❛  Won't people be wondering why there's a puppy playing with the 'air' then? I thought Lailah told us to be discreet when we're wandering in towns. If anything, that'll spook away people and they'll think we're the ghosts of this place, and then we'll have to deal with Rose screaming again. Do you want that, Meebo?  ❜ Dramatics aside, she stares at the puppy and ponders. She could carry it somewhere else, but that only drives her point across. Hm... ❛  What if I went ahead to go get Sorey to shoo it?  ❜ That would mean leaving Meebo alone with the puppy, though.

His eye twitched at her remark. But yes, he had hoped that the puppy would at least understand the concept of move out of the way. Oh wait. Wait, no this was not the kind of reaction he had been hoping to get from the puppy. True it was moving, and had stood up but it was approaching him slowly.

"Wait this wasn't....." Geez. All Mikleo had wanted was for the puppy to move, however his cape had become a play thing for the puppy. "I don't ask for dogs to be attracted towards me. No wait that came out wrong." Mikleo took a few steps backwards, perhaps if he could lead the puppy out of the alleyway some they could get by. "Look i'll just lead the puppy out the way we entered. Then maybe someone will notice it, take it in. I'm sure there must be a child who wants a companion."

being used to living on the mountains by herself and sitting in dead silence, edna is proficient in picking up signs of odd behavior from her years of observance. his laugh just now sounded a bit shaky to her: already, she knows the fault lies on her, on something she had said. letting her words cut someone isn't new to her; she remembers apologizing to sorey about it once upon a time—but this man, she has no personal ties to him like she does sorey, and so, despite the slight pang of guilt, edna utters no apology to him. given the topic of siblings, she wouldn't really be all that happy either. 

❛  it has. some of my traveling companions remarked about them.  ❜ she shrugs, then mutters, ❛  even onii-chan said that they looked strange on me...  ❜ why does everyone feel the need to be a fashion critic? she likes these boots just fine. they match with eizen's pair, and that's really all she cares about. at least this guy, eccentric as he may be, agrees the boots are fine. he has some tastes, she supposes.

though, before she can even quip anything, she is quiet again at his explanation. another pair of siblings who can't see each other, kept apart by something unavoidable and only having letters as their primary communication method... the irony is so sad, she can't even find it funny. how many days had she spent herself just waiting for a new letter? for any sort of sign that he was still alive while he went on those pirate adventures? how long has it been since she's last seen his face? how—

edna aches again. is this how eizen felt about her? that he couldn't get her involved with his dumb curse so he had to leave for her sake? that he misses her, but knows he can never come back anymore if it means she can be safe? older brothers are so much trouble, she swears. 

❛  a younger sister cannot be fully set for greatness if her main support isn't there with her,  ❜ edna mutters, hovering the umbrella over her eyes as she tucks her head down slightly. ❛  sure, she can pretend everything's okay on the outside—but she probably grew up thinking you were one of the few people she will always have. she may be flying high now, but it won't be enough to cover the distance between you two if it's left like this. it's ... lonely this way.  ❜

just like how she wanted to stay with onii-chan forever, but even though she went through her own journey, she hurts even more now because her brother's dead. he won't ever come back—but this man and his sister, they're both alive. that's the glaring difference.

❛  forget it,  ❜ she dismissively says. she is in no position to lecture an older brother ( one who's not even hers ) on how to act anyway. ❛  that was just the ramblings of a younger sister herself. i'm merely providing you valuable insight on how a younger sibling thinks. you're free to take it or leave it.  ❜

HER comment pierced deep within him yet he did not allow his smile to falter. he knew well enough the line between coddling and worrying was often treaded by him yet he could also feel her comment may not be fully directed at him. but whether or not it being directed at someone else sunday still felt the weight of it. he tried to tread more on the worrying side of things yet he couldn't help but want to protect his sister to see her flourish and stand proudly on stage and soar into the heavens. he wanted to truly nurture her and ensure her flight be fruitful unlike the poor charmony dove he failed to save. sunday would ensure robin continues to shine brightly and that she reaches the greatest heights. even if he must sacrifice it all he would do so for her.

" ah . . . "

he was taken from his thoughts with another comment piercing deep at wounds he did best to cover up. if he was lonely and missed her why wasn't he with her? it wasn't so easy. robin could fly and reach great heights while his wings were clipped. he was tied to his duties and couldn't bring himself to weigh his sister down. she was working toward their dream while he would do his best to support her.

as he was about to answer the question he got caught off guard as the young lady went on a tangent about the different articles of clothing she wore. indeed she was in quite unique attire, but it was quite tame in terms of things he'd see in his lifetime in the world of festivities and time maintaining the sweet dream. perhaps it was silly to fret over a small detail but there was something in him that brought his worries toward the strap.

" no, not at all. " sunday shook his head with a shaken chuckle. he did his best to maintain his usual professional air but the tone of his speech and the slight shake to some words drew attention to how her words prior had struck a chord. " i think the boots fit you quite well. i'm not quite certain where you would get the idea i'd fret over them. is it something that's brought up frequently?"

he paused and changed subject to answer her earlier question. " as for why i'm not with my sister it isn't an easy answer. i would love nothing else but to follow her and support her side by side but that is not my place. i have duties to uphold and i would only hold her back. she is capable of flying to great heights while i couldn't fly if i so wished it.

" she is making our dream a reality. spreading it throughout the universe. there are things that keep me here. i miss her dearly, but her letters and knowing she is doing what she loves brings me much joy as an elder brother. it is not my place to put out that fire light so brilliantly in her heart. she is set for greatness. "

@ofstarsandskies : Within a day of Edna's conversation about Victor's worst known bums, she'd find a lone new visitor climbing her humble mountain. That person: Mr. Lawnmower Boy himself, Zig. Reason for visiting? Victor requested him to as part of a list he didn't bother mentioning what it's about. But requests from the family don't gotta sweat details for Zig to follow them. Once at the summit, Zig brushes any dirt his uniform might've picked up from certain activities he partook it on the road. Why spend money on provisions (besides water of course) when the world giftwraps free food? But when the lady of the hour arrives, it's back to attention. "Good afternoon. Victor told me you wanted to meet me as a 10/10 for a list you guys had?" Terms laid out, Zig does the proper thing and offers his hand. "Anyway, I'm Zig Kraft, Victor's... he hates friends, so let's say 'friendly acquaintance'. Need me to do something to prove my 10/10 of whatever?"

Seeing people at her mountain when she comes back from walks isn't new. Seeing them introduce themselves to her by mentioning Victor's name is. 

Her eyes squint at him suspiciously, looking back and forth between the offered hand and his face. She doesn't know what warranted his visit, especially if it's remotely related with Victor, but Zig? That's his name? If she recalls correctly, Victor had said that name at some point... Who was it again? 

Zig... Zig...... Zig.........

❛  Oh, the lawn mower,  ❜ she remembers, finally, then greets back with a simple, ❛  Edna.  ❜ Handshaking isn't her thing, especially with men—but Edna is a lady, so she politely accepts the hand nonetheless, if only to solve the mystery of how this guy can possibly beat Zaveid in stupidity. ❛  Victor said you're the one who eats garden weeds whole.  ❜ And 10/10? Really? Victor just had to include that? Guess they'll dive in immediately. ❛  He also said that you haunt his house. I need to know how you pull off those feats to determine your 10/10 status that he absolutely insisted you have.  ❜ Seeing is believing, and she definitely needs to see how someone can be worse than Zaveid. She needs to.

❛  How thoughtful,  ❜ she flatly says, accepting the basket. Peeking into it, she takes out a cookie and eyes it curiously. ❛  He and I are okay. There's still a bunch of stuff for us to talk about, but it's getting somewhere.  ❜ Edna bites the cookie, tasting the chocolate. She has never really ate food from this world before, now that she thinks about it. ❛  They taste fine. I didn't think you were the type to pay social calls with treats, though. I thought you had a mission of your own to do.  ❜

Shionne sighed and shook her head. "Representative? Please....they are all off doing their own thing so I thought I would come by and see you." She took out a basket of chocolate chip cookies. "I tried making these. I don't know how good they taste but you could have them if you want? How have you and your brother been by the way?"

❛  My brother and I are ... doing fine.  ❜ Well, as fine as they can. Catching up on over a thousand years' worth of events is an ordeal itself; a shaky road with plenty of obstacles—but they're finally starting to talk again, and it's been so long since she could feel so happy. ❛  Thanks for asking. He stepped out for a bit, so you only get me at the moment.  ❜ Edna is looking around, then raises an eyebrow. ❛  I thought you had zeugles to hunt down? What? Did your group send you as the representative to check up on us? That better be a gift you're holding in your hands then.  ❜
