The Shopkeeper's Daughter: Act 1
Characters: Ashelia, and other Heroes that answered her call
Where: Her house, B-05
When: 09/10
Summary: Ashelia has an interesting proposal: that the Heroes of Light start acting like them.
Format: Prose or action is fine
Warnings: none!
Everything was set up perfectly. The table was laid out with a bowl of (non-spiked) punch and some sugar biscuits. Chairs were arranged into a circle. Ashelia paced around the living room anxiously. We haven't the time for this. That little girl was dying, and here she was, holding a meeting to propose a plan of action on what to do about it. That's what Queen Ashelia would do - that's all a queen could do. But I am no queen here. She should be out there, finding the seeds herself. The battle with the Chocobo Eater continued to gnaw at her, though. She'd gotten out of it relatively unscathed, but only because there were people more able to take the hits. She needed the other Heroes for this. As much time as she felt she was wasting with this meeting, she couldn't be in two places at once.

He steps in the doorway and scans the room, frowns a touch when he sees that she's here. Okay, here we go again, this is just like the chocobos. He can't stop her, and maybe she's even more capable in a fight than he is, since she can cast magic. He can make sure that she isn't going into this alone, then.
This protective streak, it's annoying, but maybe not entirely unwelcome.
"Ib," he raises a hand when he walks up. Shinji flutters behind him, wearing the hat for Kaji's Archer outfit. "Thought you might be here," trying immediately to put the cool facade back on.

"Ah, Ib, if you're so inclined, there is punch and biscuits." Ashelia motions to the table she had set up. "Please do try not to eat too many...the, ah, sugar..."
no subject
"Well, if I'm going to be a hero I have to help people, right?"
Ashelia has a lot of names and sounds very important. Ib wonders if she should curtsey. She made cookies though, so she must be nice.
"Thanks! It's very nice to meet you."
Luckily Ib isn't the type of kid to overindulge in sugar. She is going to have a couple of the biscuits though.
no subject
He'll answer Ashelia's silent question out loud, actually. He's not a fan of the 'adults talking over the kid and pretend they aren't there' thing. "We're all here to help. Not necessarily to fight, but you called us here for a good reason."
no subject
"Of course. Every Hero is needed for this mission." Uttering that sentence made her want to hide her face in embarrassment, but it also wasn't untrue. "Ib, I have the perfect job in mind for you. 'Tis quite possibly the most important job of them all." Ashelia wasn't even patronizing the child, much as it might seem. "I shall bestow upon you your special mission after the meeting, yes?"
Okay, that last one was a bit much, but she was trying.
no subject
“Okay! I'll do anything I can.”
After the meeting...
After the meeting...
“Zelda and I were going to talk to the sword seller in the hospital. But... that's only a few hours. So I can visit her before. And after too! I bet she could really use a friend right now.”
