I'm sorry to hear that. When things are sudden especially... it elicits stronger emotions.
Hmm... It was both expected and unexpected. I was expecting to go a different way, you could say, but the timing of it... maybe it was a little too soon?
[let's use the new locations so this is out near the entrance to the lighthouse, but shadowheart has stopped her exploring around when she's suddenly been overcome by affection week. she hears a chirping sound from a bush as the owlbear cub comes trundling back out from whatever pile of trash it was rooting around, some french fries in his mouth.
and shadowheart instantly starts talking to him in a baby voice]
There you are! Getting into trouble, are you? Don't get me kicked out of here, please.
[she will also throw her arms around his fluffy neck and start petting his feathers while she continues to baby voice at him.]
[ so many new sides of people elysia is seeing today. she has no reason to suspect there's an effect yet when she's usually affectionate, so she thinks this is so cute and shadowheart may or may not be like this in private.
she takes out her phone and snaps a pic quickly before tucking her phone away again. ]
There's no way he will. I'll defend the both of you.
I don't like breaking any promise I've made, so I'll have you know I haven't told anyone else I'll take their side yet. Not here.
[ she holds up a finger. ]
If you want something more concrete, I'll take your side when it comes to your friend. Anything else can be evaluated as it comes up. It's not as if I'll compromise myself.
