You know, I don't think I've ever heard anyone play the guitar before, but I bet it sounds wonderful.
[ It has to be better than Scanlan's excuse for music. Though that has surprisingly gotten them out of a pinch before.
No, she's not thinking about replacing Scanlan with Eddie. Yet.
Being asked what her type is makes Keyleth freeze up. She never really had to consider that before. The whole I'm going to outlive all my friends does put a damper on things like companionship. ]
Oh, well...I guess I've always liked the sweet and sensitive types. Aaaand sometimes the dark and moody ones as well.
[ Vax comes to mind, of course, but she knows better than to compete with the Raven Queen. ]
Well, when you put it like that, I should definitely be more cautious! I wouldn't want anyone to be miserable like that.
Really? You never have? Well. Maybe I could play for you next time? I mean...so you know how it sounds?
[Why does the thought of playing just for Keyleth bring warmth to his cheeks?
He'd be so willing to be traded for Scanlan in her party, if it wasn't for the fact that the gnome isn't such an inappropriate company for Dustin, Mike and the rest of the kids.]
Huh, sweet, sensitive, dark and moody. Sounds like your type is the complicated ones.
[He means it as a jesting jib. He's not much better, his type seems to be the unattainable, beautiful, popular reddish heads. He'll die alone, at this rate.]
Meh, I'm not adverse to having them be a little bit miserable. Might be a good motivation for them to clean their rooms, or something.
[Godammit, he's already starting to act like a responsible parent, isn't he?]
F-for me? I mean. Hum. Sure? I like. I like white carnations?
Nope! Never, though they don't really have guitars like that around here, so that would be why. Really, you would do that? I'd love that!
[ It's a real shame he's missing her giddily texting away, all crinkled nose and wide, joyful eyes.
Oh those poor, sweet and innocent kids, please do not let the gnome corrupt them, they deserve a far better fate than that. ]
Yeaaaah you can say that again.
[ It's fine, she's fine, nothing to worry about here. She's totally well adjusted. ]
You know, if it's motivation we're after, I could always make it sound like a mouse is somewhere in the room. That would get me to clean my room instantly!
[ And it's better than her trying to wild shape into a beast and scaring the shit out of them as motivation. If there's one thing they don't need any more of, it's definitely trauma. ]
Yes for you, silly! Then, um, I guess I should wait until we see each other again? You know, so I make sure I do this right.
[ She's also pretty sure he likes seeing spells in action, which, who can really blame him? They look really cool! ]
