Beautiful Flowers in the Flower Grove [Commerce]

[June]

It was a beautiful, yet slightly overcast day in the Savill Flower Grove and June had decided it was the perfect atmosphere to invite her friend Jade out to pick flowers. The overcast sky meant that the flowers wouldn't expect them to arrive, making it perfect to surprise the vegetation before it knew more than it should and hid the flowers from them, not that she told Jade that. Sometimes people just didn't understand her thoughts on the worlds fauna and she didn't want to confuse and scare away the guardian like she had the last person she invited out flower picking (thought that was probably more due to the fact she had a knack for finding the poisonous variants when foraging than anything else).

She'd arrived first, making sure that George had cleared out an area of monsters so that they'd be free to pick for a while without interruption, and she kept an eye out for the ghosts that she knew meant the monsters were about to come back. She was good at catching those sneaky ghosts that would always try to catch people unaware. Why people couldn't see them she wasn't too sure, maybe they just didn't want to see the truth of things that was clearly before their eyes? She knew people tended to miss the things she could see as obviously as her own hands back in the other world, so maybe it was just more of that?

George the Skeleton had remained summoned and by her side since then, standing awkwardly with his shield hanging off one arm, a badly woven grass basket sagging limply in the other as June slowly added meaningless weeds and other interesting looking plant matter in it, including pretty leaves, beautiful flowers, and the occasional twig. It didn't matter to her whether or not the plant had properties that were useful to a Pharmacist, she just wanted to collect them for now. When Jade turned up she'd probably end up knocking the basket over accidentally as she bounded over to give the other girl a hug, pulling her down slightly thanks to the minor height difference and knocking them both over if she wasn't expecting the flying tackle glomp from the strange summoner.

Jade made her way to the grove, off to meet her friend June. She was one of the few friends she had from before trying to do something with her self. It would be nice to see the odd girl again. She had a smile on her face as she made her way, wearing her cute yellow and black dress instead of her armor. It was too nice a day to ruin it with armor and clanking metal. No today she would just have a nice day picking up materials for sale and their craft. June was a pharmacist like her after all. That was a rarity, as there were not many around. She would have to introduce Lerical and June some time she thought with a smile. She spotted in the distance the familiar sight of George and June. She giggled and waved excitedly at June. " June!" She yelled out, making her way out of the forest and into the clearing. Jade giggled " Sorry I am late, I lost track of time at breakfast. " She hoped her friend didn't mind. June was a friend, one of the girls that had spent time with her in home she had made the previous two years. While mostly able to take care of herself, June had stayed with them and Jade had only been to happy to have her around. She hoped that June was getting along fine now, she knew the girl had a tendency to be clumsy. This was nice, she had both Lerical and June to gather things for her class with. That meant that she always had someone to have around when wanting to try something new or get more of some plant. It seemed a hassle, but not many people gathered and sold plants so it was up to them to gather the supplies to turn into useful things. It was even rumored that when you got good enough at being a pharmacist you could make brewer things, which would only help out in variety. Jade wanted to explore this world and its many remedy's for ailments. After all she had stuck to mostly homemade family cures when in the real world, largely because that was one of the few things passed down to her. The sad fact was that growing up she had been more of a mom to her siblings than her mom was to them. She had learned fast that if she didn't do things, they would never be done. It was why she had so easily helped out all the younger players and those that needed a place to stay, afraid of the world during the last two years. Granted now she was trying to figure out what to do with herself. She was alone, and didn't have anyone to watch out for really. That meant for the first time she could do things for herself. Maybe find someone to date, as this world was her world now and she was ready to accept that. That meant it was time to think about the future and that meant she would like to settle down one day if she met the right person. multiply life by the power of two

Jade's greeting was considerably muted compared to June's, and it made the Summoner pause for a split second in her charge. Not physically, physically she was an unstoppable rocket, destination glomp town, but mentally. The thought was more like an annoying fly that buzzed in and out of the room that was June's mind, and it was gone before she fully comprehended it. June would collide with Jade seconds later, the other girl's apology potentially cut short by her friend colliding face first into the front of her dress, sending them both tumbling, June's arms flailing as they went. The young woman would have to get control of those arms before she could get back up again.

Instead she was too panicked about what she'd just done, knowing all too well that landing on someone like this wasn't exactly what people did normally, and even with the lenience that her friend showed towards her oddness it was possible that it wasn't going to bode well. Now if only she could remember how one stood up again! June, still flailing even after they'd landed, tried to just stand up without use of her arms. This lead in a bit of a head bob on her part as she almost gained her balance, but then resulted in another face plant onto Jade before her arms started working as she was able to remember how to push herself back up.

"Eee, I'm so sorry Jade! Are you okay? You are not hurt right?" she gushed, trying to get a look at her friend to make sure she hadn't done something stupid and painful, "Okay, let me just... eeek! Okay then... maybe if I?"

In the end, June would roll to her side and lay sprawled out next to Jade, blankly staring up at the gray sky and breathing slowly to try and calm herself. "Okay, let us not do that again." she said to no one in particular before finally sitting up again and glancing Jade's way. "I should probably tone down my greetings, huh?" she asked sheepishly. When she finally felt up to pulling herself to her feet again, June dusted herself off and turned to immediately assist her friend with the same.

"Well you are here now, and that's the important thing! We should get to picking before the sun comes out again, I'll keep an eye out for ghosts too. Are you going to be looking for anything in particular?" she asked all in a rush, hardly giving Jade a chance to reply. "I bet you have a better eye for this than me! I always end up with such pretty bits and pieces, but most of the time I cannot make anything useful from them. The last person I tried to make a potion for ended up drinking it and going to the cathedral! I did not even know I could make recall potions like that!"

Jade hadn’t been ready for her to knock her right over, she had thought she could brace for impact but she found herself underneath June with a giggle. She rubbed her head and groaned every time June managed to fail at getting off of her. She giggled when she ended up just rolling off of her. The girl was odd but cute. She smiled and took June’s hand pulling herself up with ease. It was nice to have the extra hand. “Well, next time, just be more careful. It is good to see you June. “ She said with a smile. “Yes, a red flower with white edges around it, and some other things, though I am not quite sure by what you mean about ghosts, if you mean monsters, yes we’ll have to be careful about them. “ She said looking around and spotting such a flower. “That sounds like poison Hun, I think you might want to be careful what you gather. Just like these ingredients can do wonderful things they can do horrible things. “ Jade smiled and searched for her own bits of materials she spotted the right bits of plants in a patch and smiled harvesting them into a basket of her own. “So, I think you might want to be careful how you make a potion if it killed someone. “ She said with a look of concern. It was lucky she had given it to an adventurer and not a person of the land. She had to admit June had a lot of energy. Though she couldn’t figure out if some of the things she did were on purpose, like crashing into her, or if the girl was truly clumsy and accident prone as she appeared. Jade kept picking things and looking up to ensure that Jane was ok. She was also curious what she might be grabbing, a bit concerned what she might be trying to make potions out of. “So June, what have you been up to of late? Also I have some other friends you might want to meet. One of them is even a pharmacist like us. Perhaps next time it could be the three of us.” She said sure that Lerical would enjoy the company. It was nice to have friends to do such everyday tasks with. They could sell the potions and materials they didn’t use and make some gold to do some other things, like get better armor or weapons. That was what would really help her protect her friends. She needed to keep getting better to better protect them when they went out and about. Jade looked to June and smiled, “Have you been studying with any of the people of the land, they are really good at this, and have taught me what plants to look for and which ones to avoid. There are some really nasty ones that just touching can mess you up. “ She warned, worried for June with her apparent clumsiness. multiply life by the power of two

As soon as Jade mentioned a specific flower June raced to George's side, gasping in excited dismay at the state of her ruined basket that was still clutched in the skeleton's now detached hand. It didn't look like she had the flower that her friend was looking for but it didn't bring her mood down.

"No, not monsters silly! Ghosts of monsters! They haunt the place just before the monsters come back! I bet they're scouting out the area for the people that defeated them in the past or something, so they can set their still-alive-to-be friends on them!" she babbled, explaining perfectly what the ability of the Fortuneteller Subclass was capable of, without realising it in the slightest.

The young woman bent down to scoop up George's hand and basket, brushing out the junk she'd been collecting so far and only saving a couple of ingredients that she knew were ingredients because they made blurry text appear that she had to squint to read properly.

"But I didn't write poison on the bottle!" she protested at the mention of the obvious answer to her conundrum. "I clearly wrote 'safe to drink' on the label! I only do that for things I have not died to!" This was of course missing the entire point of her labels, most of the stuff she'd made so far had been either weak and did nothing, or did no damage to the drinker, instead weakening their stats slightly, just enough to wipe off a couple of max hit points from someone desperate enough to drink it in a pinch. It wasn't something she could really sell or use herself, so she hadn't put more details into investigating what they actually did to people. Most of the gunk wasn't even worth the cost in material she'd had to use for it.

"I guess the professors were right though." she grumbled lightly as she sullenly straightened up George's hand and basket some more. "Rushing too much can make bad things happen when you are experimenting..." An almost visible gloom had settled over the summoner and her minion, something that probably suited the nightmarish monster a lot better than its slightly diminutive master. She was mentally berating herself for the oversight and bad scientific method more than the damage it had caused to an adventurer but at least the lesson was sticking.

It didn't take long for her to move past that however, June eventually floating over to Jade's side as the guardian picked through some of the flowers she was looking for, finally moving past the issue and getting to the fun part. "Oooo, new friends? I keep trying to make new friends but they sort of disappear when I am not looking. Not like you, you are good to me and stick around." June paused at this remark, no longer randomly picking weeds and flowers as they came into arms reach, staring at Jade's face for a moment just long enough to be awkward.

"It would be good to have someone help me making things. I always deviate from the recopy and make something different and then I have nothing to sell to people! It is so annoying!"

"Oh yes, I love to talk to the People!" June gushed, almost like she was happy to move the subject away from her failures at potion making, "They taught me many things and one family was nice enough to make sure I ate something. Which was nice. I was doing it to them all week while I was staying with them and they did not even realise I had not eaten in all that time! It was so nice of them to remind me like that."

She probably would have kept babbling on about that family and the escapades she'd had with them, mostly consisting of her being a novelty object around the house for a while, but the thought was cut short when she noticed exactly what Jade had really been asking about. A small, innocent looking shrub was a few feet away from the girls, and it was something that had been marked as dangerous in June's mind. Eyes suddenly sharp, June a quick gesture at George followed by a pointed finger towards the offending bush. The skeleton would lumber over to the bush, pull out his rusty old sword and hack a couple of branches from the side.

"We should probably move our gathering a little this way." June said darkly as she nudged Jade away from the bush while George carefully moving the branches into his basked, thick green sap oozing from the cut section in a way that just didn't look safe. "Sometimes having someone who is not alive really makes it easier to deal with dangers!" she added cheerily, immediately returning to her normal voice and attitude. "The People who told me about that were really nice!"

"June, you do know that you have a resistance to potions.. so it could be that while you didn't die it was deadly to a normal person. I think you need to nail the basics before you start experimenting. You should practice the game recipes first, It will be alot easier and you can make some gold when people can trust your potions. Trust me june, it will be better and you know you can stay with me, I don't wan you starving or anything if I can help it. " She said shaking her head. She swore the girl was cute but her absentmindedness scared her at times. She didn't eat for a week? How did she not notice? She sighed and just kept harvesting some plants. After all that was what they were here for. They needed to keep it up so they could get enough to make some potions to sell. " I can help you practice so you don't deviate, as you know then it will solve your problem of having nothing to sell people. " She said with a giggle thinking of how many things June must waste with her attempts. The girl was silly with her enthusiasm. If she just slowed down for a moment things would be so much easier for her. She didn't know what to think about the bush, but stared it as George attacked it. That was weird. "You know staying with me could be fun, but still be careful. You worry me sometimes, I do consider you a friend, so I am always here for you. I know we don't live with all the others anymore but I am still here for you." She didn't know what June had really been up to of late. After all she sort of vanished off to do her own things all the time. It was no surprise she had found a family to help her. It was hard not to want to help the girl out. She was so friendly and kind and had good intentions. It just seemed she had bad luck. Perhaps they could work on that, as she was sure that if June worked a bit at slowing down and taking her time she would be much better at potion making. She smiled and moved where June mentioned figuring her class and such must know something she didn't. IT was nice to be here with June though. It was like old times. Jade listened and looked around finding more plants as she moved and started picking them up. "So what have you been doing besides trying to make potions, Also I was thinking that maybe you should join my guild, there are a bunch of us and I think you would like them. We are trying to save up to buy the zoo, for a guild hall. It will be lots of fun once we get a place of our own. So what do you think? Would you be interested in doing that?" multiply life by the power of two

"O-oh..." was the only reply Jade got out of the revelation, making it clear June had forgotten about that little technicality of the class. "Well, I guess you are right!" she added, straining to keep her cheer up a little, "And maybe it would be an idea if I came back with you. I just need to make sure I do not forget where we are staying! Which should be easy if I just stick with you for a couple of days until it sticks in memory!"

June emphasised that point by suddenly hugging Jade, rubbing her cheek against the other girl playfully. "It is a date! Or is that plan? A plan-date? A play-date? Oh, whatever." Letting go of the other girl June crouched down beside her and starter picking a couple of innocent looking flowers, randomly shoving them up her sleeve before getting back to gathering a few medicinal herbs and one random, minorly poisonous bloom that when used in a few of the lower levelled potions would boost them slightly, allowing more powerful effects. Granted it needed the right reagent, but it wasn't dangerous to handle.

"I have been good. Or at least tried to be." she amended sheepishly, "I haven not died any more times than the first time I forgot to summon George, and I have tried practicing making him fight enemies some more too. I figured out how to use most of my skills so far and since then its been a lot easier. I think I am used to the world now and I am not so worried about getting back home. It is less worrisome and most of the People are nice... although I do miss my family a little. I do not think I will get over that."

Sighing sadly the summoner cast her gaze skywards, trying not to let the little wedge of emotion that was building up from overwhelming her. "A Guild could be nice though. It will not replace what we have lost, but it would be good to have a bit of a family at least?" June tilted her head downwards, gaze falling sideways towards Jade. "I am not sure a zoo is an appropriate place for a pair of beautiful young ladies like ourselves to rest however, why would they want to buy an entire place like that?" June would giggle if her words made Jade blush or react in the slightest, some part of her enjoying the fact she could throw in such an offhanded compliment her friends way.

While they'd been chatting and gathering, George the skeleton had been doing much the same, though as a skeleton without much of a brain to speak of, he'd lost the original focus his master had given and was now randomly hacking away at a patch of mashed flowers, trying to get all the 'braches' off the plants as per his last order from June. When she did notice and gesture him back to work carefully picking other things. It was a bit embarrassing for the summoner, but she wouldn't say a thing and just hoped that Jade wouldn't notice her slight oversight.

Jade giggled "Yes, that would be bad if you forget where you are staying." She blushed as she was hugged by the girl. Jade couldn't deny that June was cute, and when she did things like this it was hard not to have dirty thoughts. She blushed more at the word date. However she had to remind herself that June was a bit too absent minded to be her own type. She was such a tease though. Jade thought as they gathered plants. " I am glad you are doing well then, George is a good protector, I must admit and I don't know why they want to buy the zoo, I would imagine we would renovate it.. maybe catch some monsters or something and display them? I don't know I am not really sure why they want the zoo. It is what Marashi wants though so I am just going along as I didn't really have anywhere to suggest myself." Looking around she noticed George was up to something but she didn't know what, he seemed to be hacking at flowers, she shrugged and returned to her own gathering, carefully removing the flowers so to preserve them; She thought about it and June was doing better than when she first met the girl. Perhaps there was hope. She shrugged and kept helping gather plants, that was when she noticed george pick up a particular plant. "That one is poisonous!" She shouted, as he was about to hand it to June. "The people of the land say mere touching it can cause unpleasant things, don't take it from him." She said worried that perhaps June might of touched it. "Please say you didn't touch it, it is supposedly poisonous from just touch even." That would not be good. She mentally made a list of what was needed to treat it, she had most of it, and she swore she harvested the other ingredients. She could help if June got a rash or something. She would wait for June to say something if she was in pain or had a status effect, hopefully she would let Jade know. Jade tried to gather some more but she kept eying June to make sure she was ok. As the plant was suppose to be nasty, even from just contact. She had heard several stories of near death from just contact with bare skin, the light coating of oils could be absorbed through the skin and wreck havoc with someone's body if not treated or caught. Thankfully the cure was simple, it was mainly diagnosing it that was the problem from her understanding. She took out her tools and the supplies and for her own sanity began compounding the cure, after all she could just sell it when they returned if nothing else. She smiled and just started compounding the recipe. She had learned from the people of the land the way to actually make potions, It seemed to make better ones than the menu. multiply life by the power of two

June smiled happily and hummed to herself as she continued to gather flowers, herbs, roots, and other sorts of vegetation she could use in her potion (poison) making. She wasn't nearly as good at preserving the material for long term keeping as Jade was, but it didn't stop her from enjoying herself as she went. Red, purple, yellow, white, every colour had its place in June's basket, even if it probably shouldn't have and was useless. She'd sort the junk from the treasure later on when they were back in the city, for now it was all fun and games.

"As long as they do not expect us to go into the exhibits or sleep with the monsters, I think that will be fine!" The summoner chimed in happily, "It really sounds like a lot of fun if that is the case though. Just getting a zoo for the sake of getting a zoo seems rather silly, if you ask me!"

Continuing to hum to herself and occasionally accepting a cute looking flower or plant from George, June continued her work, simply enjoying the day and the warmth that was being trapped behind the clouds that just didn't want to see it go. So happy she was that she completely missed noticing what exactly her skeleton was handing her as she worked, blinking in surprise when Jade called out.

"Umm," she replied, glancing down at what George was handing her and the last branch he'd passed over. They were very much the same plant, and she hadn't exactly noticed any debuff pop up as that was something all Pharmacists shared an immunity to. Still, her hand was swelling a little and a rash was starting to form before her very eyes. All in all it made moving the hand a little painful, but nothing she couldn't live with. "Okay, I did not touch it." she said, complying with Jade despite the fact she very much had.

Being the adorable silly person she was, June still held the plant in her hand despite all this, only realising she should probably place it back on the ground and have Jade take a look at the swelling before her hand ballooned to comical sizes that prevented their gathering efforts from continuing.

"It is bound to get better soon!" she suggested cheerily, not really focusing on the mild pain and aching that her hand was giving off as it continued to swell up before their very eyes. "I mean, the effects probably taking hold faster and faster, so that means it will wear off even faster, right?" June's eyes were shining as she looked up at Jade hopefully. She wasn't crying really, just the whole situation, along with Jade's slight panic over her touching the thing was causing her to start to freak out herself. If Jade could take the lead and calm her down things would probably go a whole lot more smoothly, all she had to do was encourage the summoner and calmly make the cure to the poison she had encountered.

Jade was busy making the cure, aware that something was up with june as she seemed to be talking about something. Then she saw her hand. She almost messed up the anidote, cursing she worked faster making sure to work hard and quick. smashing and combining the herbs as they had gathered alot to begin with.She felt bad for her poor friend June. Jade couldn't imagine it being good as she quickly started the Poultice was tricky to make and she hoped she did this right. It was going to be a while till it was good, she just hoped June could hold on. Jade hated watching other people suffer, and as she saw june as someone she needed to care for she felt even worse So she did her best following the procedures she was taught by the people of the land in making anti-poison poultice. She really hoped that this worked. The Poultice was coming along but at this stage she was stuck waiting. She motioned June over. " Come over here so when it is ready we can treat your hand right away. " She said taking a deep breath and keeping calm. She would gently try to take June's hand and look it over if she let her. Though that was only if June let her. Else she would keep fidgeting with her hair as she waited for the poultice to finish this stage of it's creation. Jade missed the days when one had a medicine cabinent or real world remedies to deal with this sort of thing. Here she was learning things all over again. A world of magic and fantasy had all sort of cures and fixes. It wasn't the time to fall apart. She tried to calm down June. "Everything will be alright, just stay calm and by me, once this is done, I will apply it to your hand and all will be well again. " She smiled and hoped that her attempt at calming June worked after all this would be much easier if she remained calm. Jade was glad that she was here however. June might be in trouble otherwise. She rather hoped that this Poultice would just finish up. She needed to do one more step and it would be done but she had to let the ingridients meld and fuse together which took time. if she wasn't patient it wouldn't work. So she calmed her impatiences and just watched the magic of her own class take effect, the medicine form. She decided to try to distract June. "So where did you get George? I don't think I have seen anyone walk around with a Skeleton before. I have to say he is quite impressive. Is he from a spell or some sort of pet?" She asked not knowing much about that sort of thing. She only had to worry about her horse, armor and weapons. None of the complicated magic that mages and the sort had to work on. She focused her knowledge on being a Pharmacist, it was closer to a doctor than anything else she could achieve being stuck here as she was. multiply life by the power of two

A slight tilt of the head was all the reaction Jade got to the sudden burst of speed her potion making, June didn't really realise what exactly her guardian friend was working on but she still detected the hint of panic that radiated from her actions. She looked down at her hand for a moment, noting its almost comical size as it continued to swell well beyond what should be physically possible in the real world, and looked back up, keeping the hand down so she couldn't see it.

"Oh, okay!" June said, her voice wavering only slightly as she waddled carefully to Jade's side and stood awkwardly, trying to see what her friend was doing without getting a glimpse of her still inflating hand. June was trying to breath slowly so as not to panic herself, but Jade taking her hand caused a slight gasp of pain. The summoner had to turn away from her friend as she looked the hand over so that she didn't catch a glimpse of it again, it almost looked like one of those medical gloves used in hospitals, but blown up to be a balloon. There was also the very evident point of contact too, where the plant hand touched her hand was coming up bright read, as opposed to the paler colour of the rest of her hand, and it really looked angry.

"I think this is the first time I have touched this one." she confided in Jade quietly, as though someone (probably George) was likely to overhear them, "Sometimes I get the wrong stuff and it hurts for a bit and goes away, but I have never had my hand swell like this. It is a little scary..."

There was an awkward silence for a bit while Jade took a good look at June's hand and the summoner slowly started distracting herself with carefully counting leaves on a nearby tree to keep her mind calm, she was quite good at odd things like this and would probably have gone closer and climbed it to get a better number, if not for the fact Jade was holding her hand, and her hand being a large human balloon at the time. It was the reminder that she couldn't that made her start to panic a little too, but Jade expertly intercepted that by distracting the girl with some more talking.

"Oh, I summon George with my class! They are a special summon that is very good at protecting people and distracting monsters for you. It is just annoying that he constantly drains mana from me while I have him around, every now and then I have to send him away and he always seems so sad at having to go. If we go out for fighting I have to keep him away for ages, just to make sure I do not use up all my mana before it. I did not do this in the first few days and he suddenly went 'poof' in the middle of a fight! I did not like that, I had to run away..."

June probably would have continued to babble on and on about George and how great a skeleton he was and how she needed his protection all the time if Jade let her. June really liked her skeleton summon, even if the thing was a little blank and dead on the inside. Sometimes she was even convinced he tried to talk and interact back to her, but that was probably just wishful thinking.

Jade finally had the the poultice down, noting it was just the right way. She quickly finished it and then immediately applied it to June's poor hand. She made sure to cover most of her hand. She then began to wrap some cloth bandages around it, making sure to to not trap her thumb so she could still grab things. She wrapped her entire hand and smiled as she tied it off. "There we go, now be careful, or wear gloves. You could get really hurt if you don't watch out " She said glad the girl was ok. She would hate to have to go back to town alone if she were to lose all her health. She went back and cleaned up and put her stuff away so she could keep gathering with june. They were getting quite the haul. Jade went back to picking plants and gathering things to replace what she just used. It was good that both of them were pharmacists as that meant that if anything happened chances were that poison wouldn't finish them off. Jade took a deep breath finally calming down. She had been worried for June. She had never seen swelling go up that fast. Thankfully that was solved now. "That sounds bad, I am glad you have learned when and when not to have him summoned, as it would be bad if he went poof against something you couldn't beat or run away from on your own. " She wondered if June could summon other things. That would be interesting she thought as she blew a whistle and her horse appeared. Arcadia began eating the grass and stayed close. After all Jade figured Arcadia would of appreciated the grazing. She should of summoned the horse earlier now that she thought of it. multiply life by the power of two

June continues to babble about her skeleton as Jade finished off her poultice, only falling a quiet as the guardian applied the substance to her hand. It was like instant relief, the pain going away as quickly as it had come, though it seemed her hand was going to stay comically large for a bit longer. Indeed, as her friend carefully wrapped her jumbo hand up with bandages it only deflated slightly, remaining way too big to be of any real use to the summoner, but still feeling significantly better because of it all.

The silly summoner just looked at Jade oddly for a moment, considering her friend's words. "Well, maybe you should take me out for some glove shopping when we are done today. I am bound to forget about it otherwise!" she chirped, smiling radiantly at her friend.

June poked curiously at the bandages while Jade wasn't looking, taking advantage of her friend's need to clean up before proceeding and practice flexing her hands within the bandages. It wasn't too restrictive, and looked as though the whole thing was very slowly reducing in size, though she wasn't 100% sure on that right now. Still, it looked and felt so much better than moments ago, and for that she was thankful. So thankful in fact, that as soon as Jade was done packing away the last of her equipment, she launched herself into a glomp, hugging her friend and happily rubbing her cheek against Jade's.

"Thank you so much for always being such a help when I do silly things like this!" she beamed when she finally pulled away, "I am going to have to do something for you though, how about I buy you dinner tonight? Or we just have dinner together if you already have something? It will be fun!"

Regardless of the answer June's happy bubble wouldn't be popped, and she got back to work besides her friend, answering questions and keeping the conversation moving as best she could. It didn't matter if they went off on a tangent or started chatting about nonsense, the happy summoner wasn't about to let anything get in the way of how much fun she got out of hanging out with friends that somehow got her and her weird ways like Jade.
