“Well we’re gonna have to find your favorite! Let’s make this a once a week thing! We can bring Ylva and Mordred sometimes!”

“Really?! What do you think?~”

She smiled paying for them with her phone, tipping the cashiers waving as they left to sit on a park bench. She waved to a few of her clients at the hair studio, before opening the box for them! “Try one try one!”

“Not offended! I just love it and can’t wait for you to try it!”

She’s picking two pumpkin spice marshmallow cakes, and a big bag of tinier other flavors.

Immediately turning to her. Dumbfounded “You’ve never had pumpkin spice?!”

A small chuckle. “Hehe..” soon looking at the selection of colorful marshmallows, her eyes sparkling.. “I dunno which ones I wanna grab.. maybe birthday cake? No- cookie dough? Pumpkin spice?!”

“Oh.. Hm..” Maybe she’s overthinking things.. “Did I sound smart at least?” A nervous giggle

“Maybe, you think those mountains stopped lower Adrestia from being snowy too?”

“Probably worse now from up north, Jorm is kinda taking down that big mountain slowly..”

Walking with her, to a marshmallow shop, they sold lots of varieties of marshmallow cakes and flavors. “Mmm.. I wish I could wear sundresses out now.. they’re my favorite. But alas.. it is cold!”

She smiles, taking her hands. “I wanna take you to a nice store..”

She giggled again, cupping her cheeks. “Wannna have an us day?”

“Oh- okay.” She smiled. “You’re beautiful y’know.”

“Hah.. yeah.. it does get easier when we have the ability to switch to the elixirs of alteration.. Want me to try and grab you one?”

“So do you!” A kiss to her cheek. “Been keeping up with the estrogen, hun?”

Sigh.. She’s hugging her close..

…I-.. Guh.. She feels bad

Oooh well!

No no Take the compliment!

Then Val’s mother must’ve been a beautiful woman!

Thanks! She is too!

Oh good.. she’s happy to hear.

She’s been a lot happier lately.. She’s been spending time with her dad

@valiantpup.bsky.social She just had to take a photo of him after family cooking

“I-I’m doing better.. sorry if I worried you..”

“…h-hey Kimi..”

She’s calling @godly-offspring.bsky.social for Kimi

No make up, no dresses.. She’s not feeling it.

She’s surprised nobody hates her..

Please don’t hate her..

A sigh.. She’s trying to be positive at home

Sitting up and hugging her legs, looking out the window to the desert city. She wasn't around adrestia

Wiping her eyes.. Checking her phone.. She was on the news?! "Fuck.."

@valiantpup.bsky.social she hesitated before coming to see Mordred Pure guilt on her face..

📲huh? Oh no she was just in the background:p we’re on our way yeah.. should be a week.. maybe less. This has a new engine in it.”
