( open ) for three weeks, she sleeps through the rain

[chainbroke]

Who: Naminé and you! (+Add (subtract) in the second prompt)
Where: A bunch of places
When: Throughout April
What: An open log!
Warnings: None for now; will updated if necessary.

[ A: Throughout April ]

[ Well, it's time for Naminé to do some exploring, so she's traveling around to different shrines. She doesn't really enter unless she has explicit permission; instead, Naminé has a sketchbook and pencil in hand. She's... drawing what she sees? It's mostly for practice, and Naminé doesn't think she's that great, but that's what practice is for!

She's pretty into it, but she'll talk to anyone who approaches her. ]

[ B: April 12, guest starring Add ]

[ Her good day couldn't last very long, could it? Definitely not. She's absolutely just minding her business, and her attention's a little off right now, since she's reading a book... but she does look up just several moments before she bumps right into--

Add?

This can only go well. ]

O-oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-- are you okay?

[ C: Last half of April ]

[ April hasn't been a terrible month! Naminé has decided to go out and explore the different businesses--specifically, an ice cream shop, a book store, an art store--she's just browsing, mostly, except in the ice cream shop. Maybe someone sees a book in her hand that they recognize; maybe they're curious about the way she's scrutinizing the art supplies; or maybe they find her looking at the different ice cream flavors and deciding what to get....

Or maybe she's somewhere else? There are a lot of places here, after all! ]

[That would have been a tragedy indeed. Forrest knows what it's like to lose hours of hard work to a slip like that. As it is, he crouches down next to her, hands on his knees, to look at what she's been drawing.]

It's coming along very nicely! I can't wait to see the finished product.

[He glances to her sandals shortly thereafter, and then back at her face.]

I'm glad to see you were able to relax a little too. I find I produce my best work in peaceful surroundings.

[chainbroke]

[ She's still pretty self-conscious about it, but she's happy to show him. ]

Thank you. It shouldn't be much longer...

[ She nods. ]

It's easy to relax here... it's so beautiful. And peaceful, like you said.

[clothes_make_the_man]

It really is. It's a good place to come to clear your mind.

[Forrest smiles, holding his hand out for her.]

Come on, I'll prepare some snacks.

[chainbroke]

[ She takes his hand after closing the sketchbook. ]

What kind of snacks?

[ They'll probably be delicious regardless. ]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Hmmm... well, what are you in the mood for? Something sweet or something savory?

[He has a few recipes in mind.]

[chainbroke]

Maybe... something sweet would be good.

[clothes_make_the_man]

If you can wait a little while, I can make a berry tart with fresh fruit.

[chainbroke]

[ She's never had a berry tart but that sounds delicious? My goodness. ]

I don't mind waiting at all. Especially if it's not too much trouble.

[clothes_make_the_man]

It's no trouble at all. Just a bit of baking.

[chainbroke]

Okay. If you need any help, I'd be glad to provide it.

[clothes_make_the_man]

You can help me measure out the ingredients if you'd like. It'll help things go a little faster.

[chainbroke]

[ Nodding! ]

Do you... have a list?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Nothing written down, but I can tell you what we'll need.

[He's made this recipe plenty of times before. He'll actually head inside and write it down for her.]
