[F22-PP] Teaching the Unteachable (Training your Friend) - Yui's Grace #2


Recommended Posts

"Just a lot of practice, we used to have animals back home." Kasumi remarks to little Shiina, offering the animal another strawberry given she had loads of them. They were her favorite. Rather healthy with a sweet but bitter tang. "No problem, here you try." Kasumi hands it to Shiina and ushers her to try and feed it to Sprinkles. The only way she'd get its full undivided attention is a soft voice and a few honest gestures. That was the trick that Shiina was picking up on, and the blossom had no qualms teaching Shiina how it worked. That is what she excelled at as well, showing people things that they'd never quite try otherwise. Life was about experiences and working toward understanding every living thing around you. That is why her and Setsuna didn't quite see eye to eye, given the girl was so focused on her tasks that she forgot to see the rest of it.

Taking the edible from Kasumi who hands it her way, a fat looking hunking strawberry, she holds it close and then extends it toward Sprinkles. Looking for some sort of honest response from the familiar/weasel. It reaches out with tiny mitts and yanks it from her fingers. No biting or scratching. "I did it see!" Shiina grins wide toward Kasumi, pleased with herself at what she had done. It seemed he was responding to her attempts, and Shiina just slides her butt just that much closer to the familiar. Eager to see if he was willing to continue the training. He was sort of paying attention to Shiina, as he mangled the bit of fruit leaving a nice smattering of the stuff beneath him in the dirt and grass. Such an odd little animal, that looked like it had been through total hell. Frankly it had, Shiina was its owner.

Shiina had it, sorta. Kasumi still needed to decipher that last little secret of her own. Into her inventory and producing another piece of fruit for it, of a drastically smaller size. Ouroboros was little, about the size of a noodle. He couldn't quite wrap his gullet around something so large. A raise sees it bear tiny fangs and pop them into the fruit. A tiny sucking noise sees it start to shrivel up. In its own creepy way, it was cute. Shiina was eyeing them both. "Man your's is weird. I like it." Shiina exhumes rather abruptly. hers was still so strapped to real food that it wasn't doing a whole lot. "All animals are weird." Kasumi responds to the child earnestly with a smile, it was the truth. There had been moments she'd find dogs that acted like cats. Cats that acted like parrots. They had their own personalities, and the Aincrad variants were no different.

"Oh, right ok." Shiina wasn't quite around animals quite all that much as a child, and this was her first real pet. It kind of showed on how Sprinkles acted. Just a rather clustered and berserk thing that looked like it had rabies. The girl simply exasperated the fact given that she always had it hopped up on sugar and sweets. The gesture was she'd share whatever she ate, but for him and his tiny frame it was just an overload of sugar. It had nervous shakes and everything as a result. It craved sustenance but hardly ever got it. Simply because Shiina didn't really know any better. No one ever mentioned how animals work and he sure as hell didn't come equipped with a How to animals for dummies. "How's yours doing?" Shiina asks the blossom, as hers was still so entrapped on something of real nutritional value for once.

As she'd look toward her familiar she'd see it being equally as difficult to work with.  A glance down to Shiina and a concerned look upon her brow. "I think we need to see if anyone has any ideas in the guild hall. We can keep trying but I think it's best to get some help." She offers to the girl, who begins to peel her butt of the floor with an arm full of sock puppet. "That seems good, Sprinkles is a pain in the butt." Shiina extrudes back toward the blossom. The two of them side by side move around the courtyard toward the main door and open it up with familiars in tow. Looking for anyone that could give them some pointers, because these things had the intelligence of a balled up napkin in a puddle of koolaid. Food good, knowing how to wipe their own butts bad.
