[ They're actually just putting away some books they'd finished reading when he comes in, looking down from their place on a small step stool to assess who it is, before placing the last books in their proper places. ]

Caramia. [ They step down from the stool with a soft clink, putting a hand at their hip. ] It'll be light out for a while, so I can help you if that's what you're asking.

[ That must be what he wants, right? They don't mind it, since they're finished with reading for today. ]

Do you mean right now?

Fuck I missed this reply don't look at me

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ Success! Caramia gives a very pleased grin, nodding enthusiastically. ]

Grazie! [ Everyone's so good about indulging him. It's a dangerous thing, really. Keep doing that, and he'll end up dragging you places when you eventually say no, Gorm. A personal Awash Phos right here. ] Mhm. If that's alright. With the sun out and everything, it's great weather to do so. And it's dry out today from the rain the other day.

how dare...

[unghost]

[ please say sike... one phos is enough in their life ]

Alright. I need to go outside anyway...

[ They should try and recharge as much as they can since they've spent most of the day inside - plus, with how wacky the weather is around here, there's no telling when it'll go bad again. They walk off so they can pick up their saw that they leave balanced against the table while they do their library duties, making their way towards the exit while they fasten it to their belt - they don't wait up for him. ]

You're not planning on shooting things at me, are you.

Shhh ilu

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ It's fine. Caramia's way too protective to be like Phos, anyway. Still, he'll offer out his arm to Cairngorm... maybe a little too late? They just keep walking past and this fool just looks stupid holding his arm up in the air.

It's probably for the best!! He starts after them, fast paced to catch up before slowing to match their pace. ] Huh...? Why would I-- oh, for the quest? No, of course not. Personally, I think that quest is a little dangerous, and I'm certain a bullet would do some frightening damage to you... [ Not to mention that quest required a blue to do it, but Caramia's more focused on the moral standpoints of why he's not going to rather than the logical ones. ]

[unghost]

Yes. Lately, I haven't been damaged much and I'd like to keep it that way.

[ Also, guns seem somehow more powerful than arrows?! Which is confusing to them since they're so small... in their mind, if they were to get shattered by a bullet in such a complicated way, they'd likely just have to be dormant until another gem showed up. Who knows if anyone here is responsible enough to store all their pieces, too-- it's just too stressful to think about.

They walk out into the shining sun, squinting a little and looking over their shoulder, pausing so he can catch up. ]

What did you have in mind, then? I'll be honest with you and say that I didn't understand most of this month's requests.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

As would I, and I'm sure most of the town. [ Sans the few who seemed a bit on the mentally unstable side.

Eagerly, though, he would keep up with the gem person and... ...and...

Caramia's eyes trail away from Cairngorm when they step out into the sunshine. It's light now way brighter than anything they had before. He had opened his mouth briefly to say something important (probably important?), but is now completely enraptured with the very intense and shiny lights scattered on the ground.

...And off he goes to chase the brightest one. Sorry, Cairngorm. ]

[unghost]

[ tfw they're gonna get shot anyway

But really, as soon as he bolts off, they deadpan, watching him go after the light projections on the ground. When they scowl, their head moves down a little, the lights scattering differently on the ground with each of their movements. ]

What are you even doing.

[ Their voice is stern, stopping so they can stare at him with the most judgey expression they can muster. ]

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ Oh... oh no. Their voice quickly puts a stop to Caramia's antics, but... now he's just embarrassed. How was he supposed to play this off, exactly? (He doesn't, he just gets to suffer.)

Does that mean that's going to stop him from trying? Hell no. He laughs, relatively nervous, and rubs the back of his neck as he straightens himself up. ]

Me...? Nothing. I mean, you know, I was just... [ Think, damn it. ] Doing a summoning ritual... [ What were the quests, again? ] ...for unicorns.

[unghost]

[ You're lucky they don't know any better, Caramia... they look suspicious of his explanation, brow tensing, but there's also no way to disprove him given their lack of knowledge on the topic. So they just scowl. ]

Right. How come none are coming, then.

[ Forget it, they're just gonna start storming off towards the direction of the forest-- at least if he's gonna chase around lights, he might as well do it in the direction of doing something productive. ]
