[PRP] Honestly Speaking... ( Peanut & Live )

[Syrcaid]

FrostyPeaches

Live & Let Wine was so accustomed to adults that it was never any challenge to engage in random conversation. She'd attended so many dinners, weddings, and golf tournaments that it bored her to tears. Live was well versed in formal events, casual conversation was a welcome change.

Today, she wandered alone with a parasol propped with a strap on her back so she didn't have to hold it. She wore enormous sunglasses, one of many that were gifts from her mother. They were adult sized lenses but the plus side was it covered more surface from the sun. The outdoors wasn't her favorite place to be, but the solitude was the appeal.

She saw Nutter roaming from where she stood on the dirt road and called to him.

"This way! Did you get lost?"  

[Syrcaid]

Live spied him and approached. She looked like something of an actress in miniature, her curls practically flounced themselves as she tried to spy him between the leaves and vines.

"Are we playing hide and seek? I've never really gotten the hang of it, but I thought we were supposed to count to ten or one hundred first. Of course, we can tour. I can even take you to the cooper if you want to see the barrels."

FrostyPeaches

No worries! XD

 

[Syrcaid]

She didn't understand why all of a sudden he wanted to play. Live trotted up beside him and sat next to him while he counted. She took the moment to adjust her parasol and clean her sunglasses.

"This really isn't the time or place, Nut honey," she said. "We've got a lovely four acres reserved for a park, it'd be nicer there with lots more shade. Why don't you let me give you the tour and then we can play? There's so much to look at, though, you might tire out. I've got a nice lunch planned, your cart of juice is already cooled, packed, and waiting for whenever you like."

FrostyPeaches

I'm sorry!!

 

[Syrcaid]

Live felt slightly guilty, he must have assumed she played like most children her age. In her mind, she grew out of a lot of things deemed "childish". In her heart and in the rest of reality, she was just a foal. He probably had no idea what to do when they were together.

"You must be so lost," she looked up at him. "I think my parents give me -too- much freedom sometimes. It's like... they don't know what to do with me."

Sad eyes hid behind her larger than life sunglasses, though the rhinestones shone in the sunlight pretending to be diamonds.

"-I- don't know what to do with me, I won't be grown from some time yet and I've already exceeded my grade level in some places but I'm just at milestone on others. I could tell you the proper acidity of soil for grapes, but I couldn't help you do basic geometry," she sat down somewhat dejected.

FrostyPeaches

LoL! I forgot we didn't finish it! dramallama Let's get 'er done!

 

[Syrcaid]

"You do?" she said, pulling out an monogrammed handkerchief from her pack and dabbing at her eyes. "I'm glad I don't wear mascara or it'd be running."

She looked up at him, not quite understanding his interest in being here or with her, at all. She did appreciate the offer of a book, though. Books were something familiar and friendly.

"That's very sweet," she said. "I'd love to learn about something other than grapes and how to host wine tasting parties. I could be dead and still be able to do that."

She took her handkerchief and handed it to Peanut.

"You know, I read somewhere a princess would seek a champion to fight for her or win a dispute for her and she would give him a token or favor," she said, offering the dainty bit of silk to Peanut. "I would be honored if you'd be my champion. At least, for a little while until you get tired of me."

Then a little light came into her head!

"Oh!" she blinked. "I can get Daddy to hire you as my tutor! You'd get income, a way to visit the vineyards, and I'd get help with my studies. Daddy'd be all over that."

FrostyPeaches

Thank you! It means a lot! <3 <3 <3 <3

 

[Syrcaid]

"That hanky's for you," she patted at his hoof. "It's a token!"

From then on, it was nice to have someone to tell her feelings to, even if he didn't completely understand her. It was nice to have someone to talk to that wasn't there to judge her and tell her what was expected of her. She seemed just as lost as she was in this world.

"If you ever need resources for any of your crops, just tell me," Live said. "Daddy doesn't even care what I spend my allowance on, so long as it doesn't burn anything expensive down."

FrostyPeaches

Finishing this one up, since it's been here for months and I think we've posted plenty! Thank you! <3333
