Zach
The fireling grins at Melanie.
"I'm a Chef," he prods a thumb at his chest proudly, "And I can make you the best peanut butter sandwiches ever,"
No lie either. If you don't like my peanut butter sammiches you can get out my face~
Zach
The Fireling is wasting no time, he's heading out of the Hedge as soon as he can, following Red and Sackcloth. Keeping an eye sideways on the fuzzy urchins and that head wound like a concerned older sibling.
More so than he ever did with his own flesh and blood. How bout that...
Zach - Edge of the Market
Internally congratulating himself for not injuring the poor thing further, he stands, dusting himself off, little glittering embers drifting with the dust.
"The sooner we leave, the better I think. Time's funny in here afterall,"
Don't I know it.
Zach
"Let's have a looksee shall we?"
He liked kids. Kids understood the finer points of not looking or feeling quite human. Even when they perfectly were.
He peeled the fruit carefully, the soft fuzzy skin falling away to reveal the soft juicy peach-like fruit underneath.
"You have a...
Zach
The fireling's brow knits. For someone who had just had a 'successful' hedge run, they certainly didn't seem too happy about it...
"Um...OK," he hazards, "Guess we'll... discuss it when we get outta here..?"
At Red's Goblin Fruit comment however, he perks, "Oh! Might be able to help...
Zach
Did I hear yelling?
Whether good or bad, it sounded like they were on their way back. Oh thank the stars.
Excusing himself he hops down from atop the Boat and onto the leaf strewn floor below to greet them. Or perhaps help in whatever is hunting them down.
Please don't be the...
Zach
"Well, I've nothing to trade for market but my Wits, and I ain't parting with them anytime soon,"
That was the most pathetic attempt at a joke, you cinder.
He licks his lips, looking round the rest of the party who were preoccupied with the shiny things on offer.
"I think we may be...
Zach
"Ladies first?"
He offers, unsure to touch it. Trusting in her better judgement.
A knot of paranoia was tickling his stomach though. They're still not back. Is this a good or a bad thing?
Zach - On a Boat
"I guess you're right..." he sighs to Sage, "I just hope they don't mangle the first lead we have..."
"Don't forget why we're here... aaaand they broke the first rule too..." he frowns.
When the hell did I become such a bore? .. Oh right the Hedge. Yes. That. That thing...
Zach
He descends the ladder to help Sage with her ascent, when Hood turns aboutface and Red comes barreling over his left shoulder, "Wut?"
As their resident Wolf takes off into the undergrowth, the Fireheart's brows knit, "Oh... oh no..."
Should we chase? Follow? Is this a bad idea? This...
Zach - On the Boat
He skitters along the prow, hauling down the ladder towards her, "I could always fireman lift you up, but I think that's a little too undignified for your Ladyship,"
An awkward bow and offering of hand. It's still surprisingly warm to the touch, despite the horrible...
Zach - On the Boat
"I could give you a hand up if you like... see if there's anything in the market you want to pick up?" he tries helpfully, shrugging.
Red snuffles past him, and he sparks quite literally in interest, concerned, "Sup?"
Zach
Cider Wine would be amazing. But it would need to be a bit more enticing than just that... the muttfruit he was currently carrying had more value than that...
Then there was the issue of payment. He wasn't carrying anything of value on him, bar his silver lighter, and he wasn't parting...
Zach - I'm on a boat!
Finally managing to scramble onto the hull to witness all this, he can't help but rubberneck to look at the market within.
This isn't the time for shopping, dammit...
He eyes the stalls however against his better instincts, unable to keep the curiosity at bay.
Them...
Zach
He raps his knuckles experimentally on the metal of the hull.
Yup. Definitely real.
For a moment he almost considers going inside just purely to get out of the rain, standing shivering, his hair spluttering and hissing angrily at the moisture. It sounded as disgruntled as he felt...
Zach - Into the trod.
At Luca's yell, he was fully prepared to fireman hoist the little dainty Darkling next to him, and leg it, but when the noise ceases he simply stands there dumbfounded, expression a maelstrom of confusion, bewilderment and frustration.
He tromps after Luca, picking his...
Zach - In the Hedge. Getting rather damp.
"Thanks, Sack!" he hollers, taking the leash in hand and knotting it to his belt as best he can with his sopping fingers, before turning to Liam behind him, brows and voice raised in a falsetto, "Indeed! Quite a spiffing day, if I do say so myself, old...
Zach - The Hedge
He looks every bit as disgruntled as his hedgebeast fluffbutt dog at being left out in the rain, subconsciously trying to huddle under Granny Sage's umbrella without singeing it. His hair spitting angrily at the falling raindrops, leaving trails of smoke.
"Not...
Zach
As another member of the group disappears into the wrathful foliage, he pouts, glancing down at the little Darkling alongside him, before deciding to offer her the crook of his arm, "Shall we go?"
He motions after them, not wanting to be split, even if it is inside the Hedge, "I can...
Zach - On the Path
He fireheart shivers. Even for the most obvious of reasons of being a flickering flame in an oncoming rainstorm. He might never feel the cold much, but the rain, he always hated. He throws the hood of his jacket up and glowers.
I'd say take shelter, but there is no shelter...
