[undaunts]

That...ain't a great deal...?

[???]

Wait, I don't think that's what you wanted at all--

[Focus, Ruby.]

[cutebutexpendable]

What? Oh my god. No, I didn't mean that literally. It's one of those, what do you call 'em- figure of speech! What, should I have put a question mark at the end of the damn thing?

[ ... yeah, he's having problems focusing, too. ]

[undaunts]

I dunno, maybe...? I mean, you can only hear a question mark some of the time soooo...

[Why is this getting more complicated.]

Words are just kind of confusing most of the time, really, you should be clearer when you can. Because I definitely didn't get it.

[cutebutexpendable]

Alright, I'll give you that much: words are a bitch, and then you die. Same goes for life.

[ Okay, time to get back on (off-)track. ]

But I'll have you know that I'm perfectly clear.

[undaunts]

...Wow, that's grim, man.

[That's all she's got for that, really.

How can someone think like that?]

Is that really what you think?

[cutebutexpendable]

Well... yeah. Isn't it obvious? Sure, you can fight to survive, and you can get damn GOOD at surviving, like me- [ No hesitation at all, there ] - but the last thing every single person does in this universe? They die. It's just a matter of when.

[ Pretty grim stuff, but his tone's still conversationally light. ]

[undaunts]

Well... yeah, I guess, but... we do a lot of stuff before we die, so...

[... after a moment, she just shrugs.]

I think that saying that we all just die is a little gloomy! Because it's better to focus on all of the things we can do while we're alive!

[cutebutexpendable]

Hah. Well, you got me there.

[ He's not THAT much of a grinch. Styx lies down up on his branch, causing the canopy to rustle a little. ]

So that makes you, what, a monster hunter, some kinda hero, and now an optimist? What's your story, then?

[undaunts]

... Nothing much!

[She shrugs, grinning up at the rustling branches.]

I'm just Ruby, and ever since I was a little kid, I've wanted to be a Huntress to help people. That's...really all there is to it!

[cutebutexpendable]

So... what, no horrible tragic backstory, or burning need for vengeance, or deep dark secrets lurking down under? Honestly, it sounds like you got it pretty good.

[undaunts]

[Just a dead mom and an absent dad, nbd]

Nope, nothing like that! I guess I do have it pretty good, now that you mention it... I'm just really glad that I get to try to be a Huntress and help people!

[cutebutexpendable]

[ Complicated family matters are the hallmark of any adventurer! ]

Right then, little miss Huntress, I've got a deep dark secret that I oughta share with you: tree fairies don't exist.

[undaunts]

[.........................]

...Er, are you sure?

[cutebutexpendable]

Reasonably sure, yeah.

What, are you saying it's easier to believe they DO exist?

[undaunts]

Well... yeah?

[She just...shrugs vaguely, and then she's going to point.

At the creature staring them down from the bushes.

Wow that's horrifying.]

Is that one?
