Right...? Famine is intimidating, b-but they turned out to be kind regardless... and Death let me help them even if they don't want to be friends... War didn't mind answering my questions, a-and Pestilence talked to me about books...
[a beat, before-]
Oh- I need to remember to bring Olive something, the next time I speak with them.
What a cute name, aw. [she's so determined to befriend the birds too, even though they hate her and want her to die.] I gave War's bird a button off my outfit the other day and it spent like ten minutes whacking it against my horn.
If you find a shiny thing horde, let me know. They like those, apparently.
[very gently pulls his hair where she's finished braiding a little piece.]
Aren't you a sweetheart. You make sure you find something too. In fact - that's what I want you to do the rest of the week, yeah? Find a little thing that you like. Something that's yours.

[or at least they had a pretty decent conversation by mathis's standards, which are, admittedly, on the floor.]
But... I agree with you. If they don't want to see us die, then making the effort to help us... it's kind of them.
no subject
I couldn't get a whole lot out of them, but then again - I wasn't trying much. I'm more interested in making friends, if I'm honest.
no subject
[his mood is staying pretty good overall, really, he presumably had a nice time.]
Death showed me how to weed the garden, too.
no subject
[she's so proud!!!]
Which of them did you like the most?
no subject
[help? help. he doesn't know how to take that compliment.]
It'd be difficult to choose one, though.
no subject
Hah, diplomatic. [a beat.] I'd have a hard time picking too, I guess. They've all got their little quirks.

Olive? That one of the birds?
no subject
Pestilence's bird!
I-it... pecked me, and them... so I wanted to try bringing it a distraction.

Thanks, daisychain, but don't stress yourself out too bad looking, alright? I'll survive.

[huh.
he's quiet for a minute, contemplating that.]
I'll- try.
[this depends wholly upon what there turns out to be in this place.]
no subject
If anything, you can at least ask our culty friends for something. Maybe they've got hobbies you can get into.
I'd offer one of mine, but it's all swords and axes, and I think you'd keel over.

[he's been trying so hard to be less weak. less fragile.]

I'm not great with knives - that's Astarion's thing - but I could help, probably.
