[ She was bored. So very bored. She wasn't training, because that's what they wanted from her, and the last thing Merida wanted to do was satisfy the people who wanted her to fight for them. She wouldn't do it. She wouldn't! And that was the end of it.

However, this didn't leave her with much to do. She wandered the city, even explored a bit of the Outlands, but she didn't go far. She was daring, but she wasn't stupid. She knew this world was dangerous, and she didn't want to lose her head without a good reason.

So she finally takes the painstaking time to learn to use the strange device she had been given upon her arrival. It took her plenty of attempts to get it working properly, and even when she does, there are several segments of very brief footage of the redheaded princess growling at her tablet in frustration. ]

Oi, is it working now? About time. [ She clears her throat. ] I want someone to tell me more about the land outside this city. [ It was much too crowded, too cluttered here. She wanted a freer space. ] A good place to explore, t'actually, you know, move around - that's what I'm lookin' for. How do you even stand it in this city?

[ She taps her chin. ] An' while you're at it, tell me what you do around here t'keep busy. I'm goin' out of m'mind.

[He's totally jazzed]

Oh, wow, that's great! That's totally great! You've got your own bow and everything, dang! I didn't think they were big on girls carryin' stuff like that back then.

[He moves his hands like he feels like he's supposed to be taking notes, but there's nothing there. Woops, maybe next time.]

Look, I'd love to talk about, like, the stuff you do and the stuff you're into and like... anything. You name the time and place, yeah?

[video]

[ofbravery]

Well, m'mum sure isn't. But da has another opinion on the matter.

[ Guess which parent she took after more? ]

Really? You want to talk about archery? [ That's what she's into, what. ]

[video]

[ringbeast]

[He is definitely way too excited.]

Wow, that's great. What a cool dad. And yeah! I'll talk about whatever you want! I'd also like to hear, like, what you ate and the kinds of stuff your mom likes to do and your dad, and like... What kind of stuff did you have on your walls or whatever? What kind of stuff you do for fun?

[He grins.]

You come over and chat with me, I'll make you something from my home. I'm not a big chef or anything, but I can make some good stuff.

[ofbravery]

[ She could definitely gripe about what her mom likes. As well as all the other stuff. ]

Yeah? Tell me what you can make, and I'll consider it.

[video]

[ringbeast]

Well, uh, jeez. I can make some kebabs.. It's like meat and veggies on a stick and you grill em. And then I guess I'm pretty good with pork cutlets and curry and I can make a little fried rice, too.

[ofbravery]

[ Aaand most of those terms fly over her head. Though she gets veggies and, more importantly, meat. ]

Sounds like an adventure. I'll try it, and tell you what you want to know.

[video]

[ringbeast]

Sure! I'll make you a feast, just give me the when. My roommates might be in and out while we eat, but don't worry about 'em. They're cool.

[ofbravery]

Hardly have a full schedule here, do I? I can come whenever you're ready for me.

[video] Shall I start the log??? :3c

[ringbeast]

Awesome, how's tomorrow sound?

[He starts thinking about when to go shopping and all that business.]

Yeah, I think I can get things ready for tomorrow.

[video] yes please do! :D

[ofbravery]

Aye, tomorrow sounds great.

[ And her stomach is already grumbling at the thought of good food. ]

[video] Done and done!

[ringbeast]

[He beams.]

Sweet, I'll get things ready for you asap!
