#uhhhh sorry i got a little carried away ellis is so special to me

[xhatake]

alt!

Send me "alt!" and I'll introduce you to a character I've rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else! [ ellis cousland @higheverlost ]

It was supposed to be a good day. Ellis had risen with the sun, eager to stretch the light of dawn as far as he could. Fergus was supposed to march with the majority of Highever’s forces that day & Ellis still had a sliver of hope that he may be permitted to go as well. it was a long shot, but there was an ache in his hear that could only be satisfied with acclaim. It had always been a dream of his to become a hero, sheathed in the blinding light of glory & gore. He was a second son, his legacy would be carved by his own hand. Stories of Grey Wardens riding into battle on the backs of griffons had filled his head since he was a boy. Surely the blight was the single thing that could see these fantasies become reality.

Ellis had shared a quick breakfast with his sister, assuming that their older brother, Fergus was spending time with his family before he marched ... it was then, that he & Lily had been summoned to their father’s side. they had gathered in the great hall with lord howe, who implied that his daughter may be looking for a husband. ellis politely declined. though they had not made it official, his heart belonged to another. Astoria had left only weeks before & Ellis already missed her. he wonders if he'll be a hero by the next time they met. she would get a kick out of that, surely.

There was one man who stood out against the others. In the mix of familiar faces, warriors, lords, he was introduced to someone else.a real-life grey warden, Duncan,  had stood in their halls. He looked exactly as Ellis had always imagined, a stone wall of a man with two blades that had likely seen more battles than Ellis could count... & Ellis could count pretty high.

Excitement had boiled over in his chest when Duncan said that he & his sister were his first choice of recruits. To Ellis’ dismay, his suggestion was shot down immediately. His father needed them here, to watch over Highever while they battled against the blight. Where Ellis opened his mouth to try & fight his father on the subject, Lily was quick to cut him off. She didn’t seem too keen on laying her life down for Ferelden & was already threatened with the loss of Fergus... She needed at least one of her brothers to see the end of this.

Ellis had nearly missed a passing conversation in all the excitement. Howe had made a point to identify he & Lily as Bryce Cousland’s younger children. He had thought nothing of it, distracted by another pressing matter... But in hindsight, he would wish he had taken note of it.

On his way to say goodbye to their older brother, the duo was stopped by their sweet mother. Her silver hair reflected the sunlight, radiating a certain grace. With her was a lady she was supposed to be going north with, away from the greater part of the conflict. Ellis nearly misses their conversation in the eyes of one of her pretty companions but snaps back to reality at his mother's firm voice. He & his sister's hounds had gotten into the kitchens, seemingly to gorge themselves on lard. but things were not as they seemed, as Backup & Fergie had unveiled a grand plan to stop the rats that threatened their home. nan had carried on & on until she heard the word ‘ rats ‘. after that she had been quick to throw the dogs a treat & rush them on their way. They had likely been coming from an old passage in the pantry, trying to invade the kitchens through.

The rest of the day passes like a dream, filled with more emotions than Ellis knows how to comprehend. He had exchanged a tearful goodbye with Fergus & accepted that he would be left behind. When he marched from highever with the bulk of their forces,a sinking feeling ignnited many racing thoughts of death, fears of loss...He had decided to distract himself with a different sort of company, inviting the woman he had met earlier to join him in his bedchambers for the night. His heart may belong to Astoria, but the sentiment did not yet extend to his body. Sleep takes him, providing temporary relief from an uncertain future.

What he does not expect is when he is woken in the night. It's his hound that wakes him; Fergie whines at the sound of steel clashing in the hall outside of his room. Ellis throws on his clothes, collects his weapons & wakes his companion. She doesn't make it very far, as she is killed when he throws his door open to see what's going on. It's a bitter feeling, but he pushes through regardless. He tears through men in armor that reflects the dim light of the candles that lit their halls. Despair settles in his stomach as he realizes their numbers are too great. Every time he dances out of the reach of one sword, another is ready to meet him. He braces himself as a man threatens to bring down his weapon on Ellis' face, but something stops him.

The swift ' thwip' echoes across the hall Ellis has torn was way into, resolving in an arrow through Ellis' opponent's chest. It was a powerful blow & he raises his gaze to see his mother, at last. It is strange to see her in armor. Usually, she was dressed like a proper lady, in the colors of their family. But there was something legendary about the ferocity in her eyes as she defended her son. They tear through the rest of their opponents with renewed faith, stopping only after the last of them stopped breathing. there were still the sounds of conflict echoing all through Highever, a warning of what awaited them when they left this hall. Ellis kicks over one of the dead men, recognizing the men as one of Howe's soldiers.

One of Howe's men. Betrayal. Ellis tries to contain the rage that begins to grow in his chest, coming to a thousand different conclusions of how this came to pass. All he could think was how lucky the lord was to be elsewhere, or Ellis would ensure he ended up in the same pile of gore as his men. Despite his rage, there is one thought that cuts through every assumption.

" We have to go. " Ellis speaks before his mother can react, his mind already racing in regards to the wellbeing of his sister. His mother nods & they come to the understanding that this will be their last night together. What Ellis does not know, however, is how determined his mother is to insure the survival of her children. Ellis mind is already racing, as are his breaths. For all he dreamed of battle, he had never thought it would find him in the walls of his own home, " We have to find Lily. "

Serif’s Charm Part 1

[1] [2] [3]

Serif, Charm/Sans, and Elly hang out at The Island

@aglitchandagrump @hiddeninshxdows

( Resort Garden )

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 6:30 PM

Sans walked in, more or less flopping down on the grass and laying there like a starfish. He was so tired. He didn't know why he insisted on staying up so late. Probably because of that nightmare. He really needed to get over that.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 6:46 PM

Serif fell through a portal right on top of Sans.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 7:00 PM

"Wh-OOF!" Sans wasn't prepared for a random skeleton coming out of the sky and landing ontop of him. He hoped they hadn't cracked anymore ribs. "Ow- hi- what's up- can you get off of me please-?"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 7:09 PM

Serif didn't expect to land on someone and so it took her a moment to realize why the ground was so pokey. Her face turned a light blue in embarrassment and she quickly scrambled off of him. "s-sorry sorry! i-i didn't mean to- a-are you okay?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 7:11 PM

He groaned, laying there for a second more before sitting up and looking down the front of his shirt. "Yeah.. Didn't knock anything out of place." he mumbled before looking up at her. Suddenly it clicked who she was and a small blush covered his own face. "Serif?"

King Papyrus [GST]-Last Friday at 7:11 PM

papyrus walks by to smell the flowersive never seen these before.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 7:16 PM

Her blush got even worse as she realized who this alternate was. "ch-charm!? uhhhh h-heya! s-sorry for dropping in like that!"

King Papyrus [GST]-Last Friday at 7:16 PM

sits on a benchpapyrus thinks "oh no...... she made a PUN didn't she?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 7:20 PM

He smiled a bit at the pun, his fingers beginning to scratch at themselves a bit. "Its fine!" He was acting so weird! Why? This was just a Swap alternate this shouldn't be so difficult. "U-uh, what's up? Except for you, of course."

King Papyrus [GST]-Last Friday at 7:21 PM

*papyrus walks over to the two sans' are you two ok? i heard a pun and someone fall

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 7:23 PM

He looks over at the Papyrus, taken off guard. "Uhm, everything's fine. Sorry if we disturbed you."

King Papyrus [GST]-Last Friday at 7:24 PM

"no you didnt" "its ok"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 7:27 PM

Serif was about to answer when she noticed the newcomer. She nodded in agreement to what Charm said. She hadn't met many alternate Papyrus before and his clothing was weird too....She wasn't sure if she should say anything though. She glanced around the garden to keep from staring. "it's quite lovely here."

King Papyrus [GST]-Last Friday at 7:28 PM

papyrus smells another flower "yes it is lovely here

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 7:28 PM

"Yeah, it is." he smiled a bit, following past her gaze to the small rose bush. He should pick some for Arial. He didn't seem to notice the other's strange attire much.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 7:38 PM

Serif bunched into a loose ball and just looked around admiring the area. "what's your favorite kind of flower?" Her question was directed at no one in particular, up for both of them to answer if they wished.

King Papyrus [GST]-Last Friday at 7:39 PM

"i really dont know"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 7:39 PM

"Uh... I don't know. I've never gotten to see that many. There are more kinds here than I've seen in my lifetime." He paused, taking a moment to scan the area again. "I know Arial likes roses."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 7:45 PM

"roses are really nice! they come in tons of colors! and each color has a different meaning! i heard you can even get a rainbow one. personally I love forget-me-nots. i've only seen them in pictures though. they're little blue flowers, pretty unassuming. but their meaning is beautiful!" Her eyelights were sparkling just thinking about it.

King Papyrus [GST]-Last Friday at 7:46 PM

papyrus leaves "im gonna go see you guys later bye! and serif, youve convinced me.... roses... thats my favorite, roses

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 8:00 PM

"seeya!" Serif waved as the other left. What an odd Papyrus.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 8:13 PM

"Rainbow roses..?" He should see if he could get one for Arial. "What do forget-me-nots look like?"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 8:17 PM

Serif tried to think of a better descriptor for them. Small and blue didn't say much. She remembered something. "oh! they look like this-" She opened a small portal, stuck her hand through and came back with a book. She checked the page to make sure it was the right one before showing Charm. It was a book on flower language, the history and meaning of the Forget-Me-Not was written and a picture of the plant accompanied it.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 8:23 PM

He was surprised when she opened the portal, watching in interest as she pulled out the book. He smiled a bit when she showed him the picture. "That's beautiful. I can see why you like it so much."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 8:37 PM

She practically glowed with excitement. "i know right?! and the story behind it is really cool, albeit a bit sad." She paused for a moment. "okay really sad. this guy went to get some of these flowers for his lover but they were on a river side and he fell in. and as he was carried off by the water he told her that he'd always love her. and she never had another lover again because she only loved him. that's why these flowers stand for undying love, remembrance after partings and loyalty in a relationship." Oh dear she rambled again didn't she? "s-sorry, i didn't mean to talk so much."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 8:44 PM

"No- it's fine! The stories behind these things are entertaining." He smiled brightly. "Its actually quite uh..." he couldn't say cute. He could say it to Swap but not to her. She might get the wrong idea! "..uhm, interesting! And sweet! The meaning I mean not the, uh, the story.." he just ended up staring at her stopping his trail of thought before he began rambling himself. "U-uh.." he quickly broke his gaze.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 8:57 PM

She was a little confused about his reaction. He must not like grim stories. She shrugged it off, story or not the flower still seemed really romantic to her. And she loved the color! "do you know much flower language? not many people do these days, besides the meaning of roses. oh! one interesting thing about roses, a dozen red roses means love and admiration, but thirteen stands for 'friends forever.' and twenty four means 'you're in my thoughts every hour of the day.' isn't that neat?"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 9:02 PM

Oh man that was honestly adorable. Wait- what was he thinking? Snap out of it, Sans! "That's really cool!" He beamed. "I'll have to keep it in mind. And, uh, no I don't. I only know most of the stories people tell me. I don't take the time to read a lot of stuff." His eye sight played a big part in that.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 9:12 PM

"oh i love reading! i learned most everything i know from books! i think times is the same way but i haven't really asked him. anyway, there's tons to learn from books! maybe i could recommend some to you! this one is really great! especially around this time of year if you have someone special." She winked jokingly. "maybe you could use some flower language to mess with times!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 9:17 PM

He laughed a bit. "Yeah! That would get him real bad!"  He suddenly felt a bit sheepish, sinking down into his jacket a bit. "I-I'm uh, just not the best reader. I can only see through one eye even clearly a-and I get a horrible headache. But thanks!"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 9:28 PM

She looked suprised, her own Charm hadn't told her that she had bad vision.  "really?! gosh that must be horrible! i have trouble already with my eyesight and it's only bad when i try to look at things far away." She thought for a moment before her smile got bright again. "how about i read to you! i read to papyrus all the time. we could have little reading parties!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 9:31 PM

His blush reappeared, he seemed to be surprised at the offer. He read to Papyrus too but that was about it. "R-Really?" he.. He had never had someone read to him before. "I-I mean.." his smile for a bit wider, "That would be great!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 9:32 PM

in the garden it seems there's a solid black flower there, how odd

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 9:43 PM

Serif nodded excitedly. She hadn't expected him to accept really, she didn't think her own Charm would like that, but she was overjoyed none the less. She loved teaching and reading to others. "great! i'll get some books together when i get home and when we meet you can pick which one we start with!" She was really excited thinking of all the possiblilties when she noticed the strange flower. She'd never seen a flower like that before and ended up staring at it for a long moment before walking over to get a closer look.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 9:44 PM

the flower was solid black, as if it was a living shadow of the flower next to it. if you looked closely you can see its small details

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 9:47 PM

Sans looked ecstatic. "Th-thanks so much, Serif!" He was beaming with happiness. She followed her over when she got up, looking at the flower. It felt... Familiar.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 9:50 PM

Serif wasn't sure if she should pick it or not. Very hesitantly she brushed a finger over one of the petals. It seemed so dark! How could anything be that black? Well...maybe she'd seen someone that color. But never any object.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 9:51 PM

"Uh... What type of flower is this?" he asked curiously.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 10:01 PM

"i....i don't know. never seen it before." Maybe some cross breed of flower? Very carefully she plucked it from the other flowers.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 10:02 PM

the flower suddenly starts screaming "OH GOD WHY! I HAVE A WIFE AND FAMILY!""OH GOD THE PAIN!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 10:05 PM

He jumps at the scream, almost falling back. "What the fuck-?"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 10:10 PM

Serif screeched and dropped the flower stumbling back from it and tripping over her own feet. "I'M SORRY I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T- I'M SORRY!" Oh gosh she was so close to a panic attack right now. Memories surfacing that really shouldn't. She forced them down as she tried to calm her breathing while still shouting apologies.

Gladion/Silvally(Ugotmail)-Last Friday at 10:11 PM

the weird mutant shadow creature steps in, staring at what's going on. sure it's leaveing black goo all over the place. but it's not their fault now is it?

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 10:11 PM

She changed her form back and elly looked so sorry "!AEDI ELBIRRET A SAW SIHT WENK I HHHA OT TNAEM TNDID I !YRROS OS MI DOG YM HO"she was panicking and crying repeating 'im so sorry'

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 10:13 PM

Sans was at Serif's side in a second, hands wavering over her. He glanced at Elly. "...hi elly."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 10:13 PM

she would have responded but she's busy crying and saying sorry

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 10:14 PM

Serif couldn't do much but stare as she kept trying to keep back her own tears. She took a long deep breath. "it's f-fine. i-i just d-didn't expect that s'all." She forced a small smile. "n-no need to b-be upset!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 10:15 PM

She was still sobbing a lot "!dab os uoy eracs ot naem tndid i ,knarp sselmrah elttil a od ot detnaw tsuj i !uoy deracs i tuB"she tried rubbing her tears away but it just wasnt stopping her crying "!em etah ydaerla uoy erus m'I"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 10:17 PM

"Elly calm down. Its fine."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 10:17 PM

its too late, Elly cannot get calm, she's panicking too much

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 10:19 PM

"e-elly! i don't hate you! it's okay!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 10:19 PM

"God dammit-" he turned his focus to Serif for now. "You sure you're okay, Serif?"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 10:22 PM

At the question she gave an obviously forced grin. "i-i'm sure."  She turned back to Elly letting the grin fall. "e-elly! c-calm down p-please!"

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 10:25 PM

"Yeah, no you're not. Its best to let her calm down on her own -- she is in the middle of panicking right now and ain't coming out of it soon." he carefully placed a hand on her shoulder. "You try to calm down first."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 10:25 PM

she was sniffling and rubbing her eyes, "....yldab regnarts a deracs i eveileb t'nac I" she curlled up on the ground regretting her idea to try and just do a harmless prank just silently sobbing

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 10:32 PM

Serif flinched at the touch, barely resisting the impulse to grab and throw him. She appreciated the gesture even so. "i-i a-am calm! i-i'm fine j-just-" Oh shit she was crying, fuck. "d-don't w-worry about me! i-it w-was j-just a prank! o-okay? h-help e-elly."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 10:32 PM

Elly just kinda retreats into the shadow of the flowers to try and calm herself down, still repeating sorry as she goes in

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 10:34 PM

"..great." What the fuck did he do? He looked around for the other. Well, that wasn't good. Where did she go? "Fuck." he mumbled before looking back at Serif. "C'mon, let me help."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 10:43 PM

Why did she have to be so emotional?! She wiped at her tears and tried to calm herself but more voices kept filling her head. Calm thoughts, warm fires, falling snow, echo flowers telling stories, gentle water falling, books, numbers. She didn't want to be a bother, she didn't even know this Charm. Why did she have to get so upset? Ballroom music, fond memories, different voices, jokes, laughter. She was snapped back into reality when Charm talked to her. "o-okay....i-i'm sorry."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 10:47 PM

Very carefully he hesitated before gently grabbing her hand. This calmed down Swap... Maybe it would calm down her? "Everything's fine."

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:04 PM

Serif looked down at their hands for a long moment. His words started taking the places of the other voices, the screaming begging voices that made her sins crawl up her back...."e-everything's f-f-fine." The voices faded more and more. "e-everything's fine." The panic fading. "everything's-" She took at deep breath. "fine." She managed to relax. The voices quiet for the moment.

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 11:10 PM

He managed to give a small reassuring smile at her and he nodded as if to say she was doing good. His other hand covered theirs already holding. "Everything's fine. And it will be fine." He looked over to where he presumed Elly to be. "Elly, you can come out now. Its all fine."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:16 PM

She peeked her head out from the shadows of the flowers "?....i did dab oot regnarts eht eracs tndid i....?yllaer ti si"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:16 PM

Serif managed a smile back. She was so thankful. And gosh Charm was so nice. "i'm fine elly."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 11:17 PM

"Not at all. See?" he smiled a bit brighter from Serif to Elly.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:18 PM

she slipped out all the way, she took out her spooky themed white board and wrote on it [Im still sorry for scaring you stranger...]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:21 PM

Serif gave her a smile. "it's all okay elly! are you okay?"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:21 PM

[Ive calmed down. sorry for panicking] she thought for a moment though [wait how do you know my name?]

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 11:22 PM

"Yep, everything is fine." he took a deep breath, relaxing a bit himself. He yawned a bit, blinking tiredly. He didn't realize he was still holding Serif's hand.

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:25 PM

"oh sorry about that! i'm serif, an alternate of your swap! and i know your name because there is a version of you in my side of the multiverse."

Charm - [aglitchandagrump]-Last Friday at 11:28 PM

Without warning, Sans flops over onto Serif. He was fast asleep.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:30 PM

she tilted her head confused. but just kinda just accepts this [Okay..?....if your a swap of swap, does that mean your a girl or something?]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:34 PM

Serif caught Sans she was worried about him for a moment before she saw he was just sleeping. Maybe that was just a thing he did? Anyway, she carefully sat down and let him use her lap as a pillow. "well, i'm not really a swap of swap. but yes, i am a girl! from what i know, everyone has switched genders where i come from."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:36 PM

Elly thinks then slides closer to Serif [does that mean im allowed to flirt~?] Elly wiggles her eyebrows in a joking way 

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:40 PM

Serif blushed bright blue. "u-uh, s-sorry! i-i'm flattered a-and all but i'm n-not into g-girls!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:40 PM

Elly giggles and changed her form to a guy [How's this?]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:42 PM

Serif's blush just got worse. "U-UH B-BUT- I-I UH Y-YOU L-LOOK LIKE MY B-BROTHER S-SO UM....." Gosh she was so flustered

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:43 PM

Elly laughs more and falls back"hsulb elpoep hctaw ot ynnuf tsuj sti !~gniddik mI"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:45 PM

Serif pouted, her blush getting worse. "th-thats rude! d-don't you h-have any manners?!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:47 PM

He changes back to her female form [sorry sorry! i just couldnt help it. and im sure if there's a me in your universe you should know i have such little manners, i eat chairs]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Friday at 11:53 PM

"e-eating chairs and flirting with me are t-two different things!" She continued to pout.  "by the way, what do chairs even taste like?"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Friday at 11:53 PM

[it depends, i know that oak wood tastes a little like cinnamon, buts its very hard to tell]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 12:02 AM

"i-interesting!...?" She wasn't sure what to say to that. "uhhh...have you ever tried eating flowers? some of them are edible normally, like rose petals. kinda neat right?'

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 12:05 AM

[Ive eaten flowers before, they taste too leafy]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 12:07 AM

"well normally you'd put them in other things! i've heard people put them in icecream and salads and stuff like that!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 12:09 AM

she squints wondering if its better on stuff [I prefer chairs though, and pretty girls] she can't wink so the skull on her chest does it for her

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 12:17 AM

Serif made a choked squeak noise. "w-welp i-i'm not a-a chair a-and i'm not p-pretty s-so-" She shrugged. "u-uh a-anyway d-do you like books? i-i do! they're great! haha!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 12:17 AM

[I like books, i can't read them very well since. well] she taps her stitched up eye[But i do really like books about knitting!]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 12:23 AM

"o-oh! y-yeah. i can imagine that would b-be a little difficult." She straightened San's jacket just to have something to do with her hands. "knitting? that sounds fun!"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 12:25 AM

[its a fun and calming passtime, i do it to calm myself when i panic, i do end up with really hurt hands though] she chuckles a little

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 12:28 AM

"do...you panic often? that sounds....unpleasent. the panic part. knitting sounds great though! i've been meaning to learn how to do that."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 12:30 AM

[i used to panic very easy, and I mean really easy, I would drop a pillow by accident and there I go, on the ground panicking. I've gotten better but I still panic when I scare someone too bad or get scared] she looks down twiddling her thumbs[i hope that one day i'll stop panicking and be, well 'normal']

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 12:45 AM

Serif tugged at her bandanna as it loosening it. "oh gosh...that sounds horrible. i'm sure you'll find a way to not panic as much! whenever i start to panic or get really nervous i take a deep breath to help me! have you tried doing that?" She didn't notice that she started holding Sans' hand again, it was calming to hold someone's hand for her. and Charm was like her own Charm.

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 12:52 AM

[I try, but it's hard for me.] she leans on her hand as she keeps writing [im not exactly the best at calming myself, I usually just panic, and try to calm myself, it's hard since I don't get comfort. but I've learned to try and comfort myself]

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 1:03 AM

Serif felt so much pity for the shadow girl. She'd have to tell Times that his sister needed hugs. But for now maybe she could offer them. She reached out her arm that wasn't holding Sans' hand as a sorta of offering of a hug. "s-sorry if t-this is a little awkward b-but c-can i hug you?"

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 1:05 AM

she looks up and nods scoots over hugging Serif, glad for the hug "T-thank you"

Serif [SecondQuill]-Last Saturday at 1:27 AM

Serif hugged her back as well as she could with one arm. "no problem....you looked like you really needed a hug. and...i kinda needed one too. gosh, i wish i could help you more..."

Elly [Hiddeninshxows]-Last Saturday at 1:31 AM

"It okay, me happy for comfort" she snuggles into the hug more "....~yfmoC"

Serif chuckled when Elly snuggled into the hug more. She nuzzled the shadow affectionately. "too bad charm fell asleep, he's missing out on elly hugs!"

"siht ekil ,tfos dna pmulp flesym ekam nac i ecnis sguh tseb eht evig i dna" she makes herself a little more plump and soft, so her hug is even softer

Serif giggled and snuggled closer to the shadow. "thats so cool! gosh you really are soft and snuggly!" She wanted to fall asleep from how comfy she was.

Serif started to drift off herself. She gave Elly and Sans a kiss on the forehead, settled down in the grass being careful not to jostle the sleeping dorks, and fell asleep.
