She is too busy for socializing. Atropos simply has too much to do. It's spring, after all. It's spring and she's been tasked with trying to make things grow in the frigid north. Trying to make things grow where nothing would want to grow. A fool's errand. A fool's errand unless. Lurid was lucky that her littlest sister was smart. Far smarter than anyone would give her credit for. Far smarter than it was safe for anyone to know. She would let them think of her as a child. View her as a child. View the tiny, volatile creature as childlike. Let them view her as harmless. Excellent. With great effort, Atropos had pulled together a number of posts. Heavy. They were fucking heavy, and she was so short. It had been quite the number of complaints and cusswords that had gotten them up here, onto the northern deck of the ship. The sun rises in the east. The sun sets in the west. The northern deck would get the best exposure to the sun throughout the day. Nothing to block it. Nothing would keep the plants from getting what they needed, here. Atropos was certain of it. She nodded to herself as she set about marking the deck, grumbling in her mother tongue. Grumbled fragments of speech, mostly impolite things, as she worked away. Shoulders hunched against the breeze. Scowling. It was that scowl that she fixed Requiem with as he interrupts her pattern of thought. Direct, unsettling eye contact from the small creature as she processes what he's said. It's only then that the scowl melts into something that's far more neutral, and borders on excited. "She sent help... she sent you for help." Fuck, what was his name again? Atropos doesn't remember. No matter. No mind. Her head picks up some, and she beckons the red creature closer. "I build a greenhouse, the weather is too shitty for planting." The explanation seems to make sense in her mind, at least. Atropos indicated the pile of posts and the fittings that go with them. "For framing, but I need tall help." Too short to handle these easily, and it wasn't really a one man job besides. atropos feelin like a freak on a leash you wanna see the light |
