We don't always get gifts from guests, so...it's nice when we do receive them. That's all. [Sometimes...you're just the furry staff serving people in this house.]
Really? [That gets her to look up, a curious trill following because hm.] Our room's kind of a mess...well, except for Plum's side. She keeps her stuff pretty organized.
I don't know, you've seen me and Phoenix's room, right? He leaves bottles everywhere and I don't think I've picked up my clothes off the ground once since getting here.
[ this is why she doesn't talk to plum ] You don't have to if you don't want to, but I'm curious to see.
[She immediately brightens all over again.] Yes! Of course I would! [And she's up, nyooming across the room to get what looks like a box of colored pencils before she's waiting at the door for Beau to follow.]
Got something in mind? Or just the basics? [They can walk. There's still a flight of stairs to go up.]
[ she's adorable, beau hates it. laughing, she pulls herself to her feet. she'll leave the figurine here as a Gift for someone. ]
The basics, sure. How to draw cats, or unicorn hamsters. [ she follows along - she's limping a little, but that's okay. her mask is also dormant! no angry red flashing here. ]
Animals it is. [Enjoy your Traveler, whoever happens to find it next. Up they go. She's going at a decent pace but she tilts her head back to face Beau at that question. The mask doesn't even seem to faze her.]
You can ask me pretty much anything, Miss Beau. [Mostly.] What is it?
Yeah, but you know most of us care about you, right? I don't want you to get in trouble for helping us, especially if it means someone fucking like - sews your mouth shut.
I get it...it's important to help you though, you know? I don't regret it but I don't...maybe I don't know what the right answer is. I want to help, but I don't want to worry people when there's a bigger picture.
See? I knew you'd understand. [There's a smile but she at least looks a little apologetic.] I'd do it again for what it's worth.
[But here they are! Once they reach the girls' room she's just going to open the door. Apparently it's just locked to the guests and not to the furries themselves.
The first thing Beau's going to see is a bed on one side of the room. This side of the room also has a small bookshelf with science fiction and romance novels, a piano, a ukelele and a violin. It's the tidiest and there's also a dresser and the door to a closet. Somewhere in the middle is...a mess of wires and game consoles, all plugged in and tangled with each other in front of a TV. A small pile of beanbag chairs are clustered in this area as well. On the third wall there's a door for a bathroom, but there's also a desk littered with art supplies, papers, etc. There's another desk full of science equipment and notes and books, another small bookcase crammed with books of all kinds. Beau's flower crown is resting on top of the bookcase, and there are hand-drawn pictures other guests have given her hanging on the wall. Pumpkin and Plum's flower crowns are in sight, too. It's...a pretty standard room? The girls also have a small vacuum cleaner right next to a stockpile of snacks.]
[Validate us, we're trying. But she seems to be waiting for Beau's approval and immediately beams upon receiving it. Not to mention the instruments get her to smile, too.]
Those are Plum's! The organ won't fit in here but she keeps these ones here for practice.
You think so? [Preening.] Plum is very talented. She plays really well, you should ask her to play something for you sometime. And Pumpkin's gaming skills are a talent of her own...[She's very fond of her sisters.] We've had a long time to learn new things, after all.
Sometimes it feels like it! [Pumpkin has pretty much every game system known to man in this room and Peach's art supplies range from crayons to pencils to acrylics to charcoal. Plum's side of the room where the bed is remains the most spartan, but that's fine.]
[ oh shit beau wants IN on those acrylics, let her paint!! ]
I wanna know more about you all the time, you know. [ beau tells her, glancing over her shoulder. ] I'm always afraid to ask because I know you can't answer straight sometimes, and I don't wanna fuck you up again.
Can I ask you stuff and you can just tell me to fuck off if there's anything you can't answer?

You - kept it? [ soft ] Like you didn't... throw it away?

People - it. [ a beat. ] I don't know, I guess I'm not used to people keeping things I made for them.
[ she didn't get many drawings put on the fridge let's just say that. ]

I'll make you more stuff. [ she says, lips twitching. ] Maybe you can show me your room? I can make stuff specifically for places you've got open.

...it was easier at the time. Especially when so many of you were already struggling with other things that happened last week.

That makes sense, right?

Thank you. For helping us the best you can.

Well...this is it.

beau takes it in, smiling as she spots all of the varied interests the girls have. she definitely brightens at the sight of all the flower crowns. ]
It's great. Really cozy. [ she says, glancing at peach. ] Who do the instruments belong to?
no subject
Those are Plum's! The organ won't fit in here but she keeps these ones here for practice.
no subject
I would have never guessed. But - I don't know, I guess even people with the stoniest of stony faces can be really creative. All three of you are.
