thankfully she has a high dex (and i rolled a 19), so she's able to stop the stack from completely smacking her in the face. ]
Whoa! [ some books hit the floor, while she fumbles to hold the rest in her arms. ]
no subject
[he asks, those book corners hurt.... they probably stabbed him a little when he almost dropped them]
no subject
It’s okay! I’m alright, been attacked by worse.
[ gives him a thumbs up! ] What about you? That’s a lot of books to drop all at once.
no subject
Yeah, I think I got carried away... I've never seen this many books about fairy tales in one place.
Guess I should have just... separated them into two stacks instead.
no subject
It's pretty easy to get carried away when it comes to fairytales. [ nod nod ]
I can help! At least get them to a table, so they don't fall over again.
[ she's already bending down to pick up the ones off the floor. ]
no subject
[he'll get the other stack in the meantime]
You're Ruby, right? I'm Itsuki Kagami.
no subject
[ books gathered ✔️ ]
That's me! Ruby Rose! [ she sticks her hand out, but then fumbles and has to take it back, so the books don't hit the floor again. oops. ]
Nice to meet you, Itsuki.
no subject
You too, Ru-chan. [why did he shorten her name so much when it's already short] So what kind of books are you looking to read?
no subject
the nickname makes her smile. ]
Fairytales, too! They’re my favorite type to read and the best, in my opinion.
Do you have a favorite?
no subject
Mm, it's hard to choose... I like all of them. But, if I had to pick... I like Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and the Little Red Riding Hood.
[itsuki and his canon favorites]
no subject
Oooo! Those are actually new to me! I’ll have to read them!
[ ruby, who’s design is based off of red riding hood. looks at the rwby universe. ]
no subject
he looks surprised a little]
Yeah? Which ones are your favorite then?
no subject
[ she tilts her head to the side. ]
Although...I recently learned that it isn't just a fairytale and that those four sister really existed. And that their power is passed down to this very day.
[ wheezes in oversharing. she got talking about it and could not stop. i'm so sorry. ]
no subject
for his part, Itsuki doesn't look disbelieving so much as he does surprised,]
A fairy tale that's actually true? [...] What, did everyone just kind of forget that those sisters existed?
no subject
That is kind of what happened...humanity just slowly forgot over the years.
[ frowns. ]
My uncle said people started hunting the maidens down, so a special group was formed to protect them and their powers. They decided keeping them a secret was the safest way, their existence just slowly faded away.
no subject
[...]
Powers are a funny thing, huh. They should be able to protect you against anyone, but instead they just make you more of a target. A lot of people don't seem to understand that.
no subject
[ ... ]
I've lost some very important people to me, because of that.
no subject
...I'm sorry. It sucks to lose people you care about no matter the reason.
[he leans in a little to nudge her,]
At least for every power hungry asshole, there's people like us who know better, yeah?
[it's not very comforting he knows, but]
no subject
It's alright, hopefully I can help put a stop to the ones responsible...
[ she nudges back.
and hey, it worked for her! ]
You're right about that, though. There's got to be some people who are willing to make things better, even if it's only a little. Every bit counts.
no subject
Put a stop, huh? So are you a... police officer? Lawyer?
[he doesn't sound doubtful, but he is curious]
