[ NOT THE FUCKING SPIDERS

But okay, he supposes this is fine... If Kanda can get through it, so can he, right? He'll head into the creepy woods too and if he fucking dies here then he dies. ]

[sixillusions]

[Roll for damage

No I'm kidding it's fine AVENTURINE CAN LIVE. Kanda's sitting on the ground and leaning against the gravestone as he watches the stream. There are a few animals hanging out, unbothered by his presence since he's so quiet and still; Kanda's got one hand on a fox's head, though the creatures may or may not scamper off when they get more company. As Aventurine gets closer, he'll be able to start picking up on Kanda's emotions, but--they're muddied, complicated tangles, difficult to parse beyond a general vibe of discomfort and unhappiness.

He's missing an ear, but he'd be a shitty soldier if he didn't notice someone coming up behind him, so:]

What.

[tactic]

[ i rolled a 14 fuck yeah that's halfway decent

Oops, there go the animals. Aventurine's not as calm of a presence and too many accessories jingle jangle as he makes his approach. ]

Shouldn't I be asking you that? You took off so abruptly.

[sixillusions]

[He sounds like me in high school when I wore my keys on my pants...

With the animals gone, he just draws a leg up and rests his arm on his knee.]

There wasn't anything else to talk about.

[tactic]

Fair enough. We covered just about everything.

[ Comes to a stop next to Kanda. ]

Mind if I sit?

[sixillusions]

[His emotions shift towards wariness, and he doesn't answer immediately. But, after a minute--]

Do what you want.

[He can always get up and leave if Aventurine gets too nosy, so. It's fine.]

[tactic]

[ That's an invitation! Aventurine will go ahead and sit before Kanda changes his mind. His own emotions are a steady calm, though mild interest peeks through as he takes in their surroundings. ]

Kind of reminds me of the swamp. We had some fun conversations there, didn't we?

[sixillusions]

All you did was follow me around and tell me to stab fish with my sword.

[IS THAT FUN?]

[tactic]

Did you ever get to do it?

[ AH GOOD TIMES ]

[sixillusions]

I used a rod, idiot.

[Like a NORMAL PERSON who knows how to FISH NORMALLY]

[tactic]

[ TIME TO ICLY LEARN ABOUT THE ROD ]

Where did you get a rod?

[sixillusions]

[We've come full circle]

I asked for one.

[The way I think it technically is here with his other stuff but he doesn't need it now that he has soba]

[tactic]

Oh.

[ Damn... Gets reminded of how much he missed out on. ]

... We could have actually gone fishing.

[sixillusions]

I don't want to go fishing with you.

[OKAY]

[tactic]

You think that would have stopped me?

[ OKAY!!!! ]

[sixillusions]

[THE EMOTIONSHARE OF "WHAT IF I GET UP AND LEAVE RIGHT NOW BINCH"]

[tactic]

[ GURL CHILL ]

Okay, okay. But that means you thought fishing was a good idea.

[sixillusions]

[I think I actually forgot to finish this tag but it's okay it would've been the same message in the end

A bit grouchy:]

People kept bothering me about the mushrooms. It got annoying.

[tactic]

Mushrooms?

[ He only ever got the eating mushroom lore in the brackets. ]

[sixillusions]

The ones in the woods.

[tactic]

... You ate the mushrooms?

[sixillusions]

Shut it.

[HE'S GOTTEN LECTURED SO MANY TIMES]

[tactic]

The lengths you'll go to astound me, Kanda.

[ Awe... But mostly concern. ]

[sixillusions]

[STOP]

I won't die from bad food.

[...Well. Normally. Here he was taking a big risk, but sometimes you've been functionally immortal since you were "born" and you don't remember how to live as a normal person.]

[tactic]

It's the fact that we had perfectly acceptable and accessible food to eat in the first place...

[ It wasn't tasty but it didn't kill anyone. ]
