[[oorp]] I was in the Void too for a few days, back now. ~ [[rp]] It eventually takes his hand, getting steadily to its feet. “Safe?” “Not yet” Ronan says uneasily, looking around. He begins to pull Autumn back towards the lighthouse by its hand in his. “Soon, quickly.” The lighthouse is mere feet away now, and Autumn doesn’t let itself be dragged along, racing ahead of Ronan to the door. It feels triumphant, turning to grin and the boy behind it. He smiles wearily. Autumn is already opening the door, back turned, so it misses the look Ronan gives it. though he is still scared, glancing around worriedly, his eyes linger on it with a fond look. “Come on, in we go. Not much warmer. In fact, I've found it’s often colder in here. keeps me awake on the long shifts though.” He explains, bolting the door behind them and taking the lead, beginning a short tour of the building. “It's been just me forever, so I only have one chair at the table, but there should be another in a closet somewhere. I have a bedroom but I never sleep, so if you do, feel free to use that. I think the bed is nice. nicer than the grass at least.” “Autumn thanks you, Ronan.” it says gratefully, looking around the small room with gratitude. “It thinks this place looks very cool.” Ronan thinks for a moment. “Is Autumn speaking in 3rd person?” Autumn looks confused “‘s that?” Ronan leans against the small kitchen counter. “Like, how i call myself ‘i’ but you say ‘Autumn’ and ‘it’. is that your pronoun? its?” Autumn laughs, the feeling bubbling in its chest. “Autumn doesnt know half of what Ronan is saying. It speaks different than him. Is Ronan a him?” Ronan nods, tilting his head. “He is. I am.” Autumn spots something on the table. “What that?” Ronan’s eyes widen and he scoops the item into his pants pocket quickly. “Autumn doesn’t need to worry about it.” Autumn knows what it saw. A knife. “Ronan, what kind of dangerous things is out there?” It sits slowly. Its mind is full of shadows that move, the ghosts of animals it once knew. “Bad stuff.” Ronan whispers, zipping up his jacket. “I’m safe though. Autumn is not. I need to go tend to the garden in the back, I won’t be gone long. Make yourself at home. DO NOT go up to the lamp up the stairs, Autumn. Stay down here.”
[[oorp] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaæ [[oorp]] - out of roleplay. this is autumn being itself. its pretty silly with friends. [[rp]] - roleplay. this is autumn speaking in lore. it will be more timid and shy, or otherwise odd. it may speak with actions and less dialogue, but all it wants is a friend. it’s friendly for the most part.
