Welcome to Gaia! ::

Am not? Was too! She had juice all over her shirt! She was messy! Tyyne blinked, completely thrown off by Bug's random comment about talking to things. How did...what? When...huh? "I...talk to my garden. They say if you talk to plants it makes them happy and they grow better." She smiled again, starting to feel a little more comfortable. So what did Bug talk to? Did she talk to bugs? Toys? Food? Unfortunately Tyyne never got the chance to ask, Bug had decided to enlighten her about the different kinds of bugs there were to eat. That was...revolting. Tyyne put one hand on her stomach and the other over her mouth, her eyes wide. Oh goodness. That...that was...

Her stomach churned unhappily as she unwillingly imagined these descriptions. Bugs peed in her mouth?! But...but why would...augh! She looked a little green, trying her hardest not to reply. "Isthatso." Tyyne said hurriedly through gritted teeth, her ears pinned against her hair.

Tyyne was just glad the subject of bugs seemed to be over and done with, but her stomach was still feeling off and she still couldn't bring herself to say much. Talking meant opening her mouth. Opening her mouth was a risk. Did houses like being talked to, though? Tyyne had no idea...sometimes Xai talked to the house though. Right? It was the house she was talking to, right? And sometimes it talked back at her. "M-maybe? My momma..talks to the house..." But that may have been different. Houses didn't grow.

When Bug showed some concern Tyyne smiled apologetically, rubbing at her tummy and stepping away from the table to merely sit beside it. "Alright...that might help." She sighed, rubbing at her temples. Augh, she felt so sick. "So um...are you here alone?" Did Bug's mommy or daddy know she ate bugs?! It was Tyyne's lame attempt at making conversation with the girl now, really. She would wait until she was feeling better before she got up.

It was indeed very comforting that Bug was petting her, and the less they talked about eating bugs the better she was starting to feel. But when she stopped Tyyne looked more concerned than disappointed about it, watching the girl quietly. Was she alright? Was it something she said? Oh no! Was that butterfly disagreeing with her? "Is something wrong?" She asked with a small frown, looking toward the man that Bug was pointing at. Ah, him.

"Mhm, I like it better outside too. The plants are pretty." She watched the way Bug pulled at her shirt and hummed a little. Her shirt was so big and old...it didn't even look like it was meant for a kid her size! But she was hot, right? Um...hm...well there was a pond nearby full of fish but she really doubted they were allowed in it. There were no fences or walls but it was kind of common sense! "Isn't that shirt big on you?"

Oh dear, that wasn't good. Being hot wasn't too bad but what if she got too hot? Then she could get sick! Tyyne pat the floor beside her with a smile. "Sit with me, then. It's kind of shady over here. Maybe that will help?" Or maybe even another cup of juice...as long as she didn't get all messy again. How could one little girl cause such a mess with her own drink?! Tyyne's thoughts drifted back to her sister and she mentally shook her head. Nevermind.

But how could Bug not know if her shirt was too big? Clearly it was! Why did she have a shirt like that? Shouldn't her mommy or daddy get her one that fits? "How come you don't have one that fits?" She asked with a concerned frown, playing with a bit of her hair.

Tyyne's ears flicked when she heard mumbling, having a hard time really making out what she was saying. She'd...huh? She blinked, reaching over to pet her hair in a comforting manner since...apparently she'd just disappointed her? Was that was the mumbling was about? Odd.

The way Bug looked at her when she asked about having another shirt made her uneasy, leaning over as if she was about to hide under the table beside her. Why...should she? But...but did she not see?! That shirt was far too big on her, she needed something that fit and was more comfortable! Maybe Tyyne would find one for her one day. "Y...you just...you just do. Isn't it uncomfortable?" She was getting hot in it, and it didn't fit her! Surely she needed a new shirt or something? Adults were always going on about how things needed to be the right size...so it was just how things worked, right?

She tried her best to not make a face when Bug started petting her hair; it wasn't because she hated the attention or the action, it was the fact that her fingers were still sticky and they were getting caught up in her hair. It kind of hurt some of the time, especially when it pulled just right. Ehhh...oh, wait, what? "Oh...does it bother you? I...I just was trying to comfort you. You looked so disappointed all of a sudden." Tyyne blinked, bringing her hand away from Bug's hair just in case. Did she not like it? "Just, I find it comforting? It feels nice, it's...soothing. I-I think so, anyway." But if Bug didn't like it then maybe she should stop. Did she have anything she liked?

Bug's argument still didn't convince Tyyne. She frowned. "But, Bug...shirts aren't supposed to fit that way. It'd be better to wear a shirt that fits you. They even make shirts made for people with wings, you know. So you don't have to have to pull them out." Silly Bug! Did she not know any of this? Weird though...did her mommy or daddy not take her shopping? How could they let their daughter wander around with clothes that didn't fit?!

Tyyne lightly batted at the hair when some of it stuck to Bug's fingers, doing her best to get as much of it unstuck as she could. Weird? O...okay...Tyyne didn't think it felt weird but if Bug did then she'd trust her judgement. Who knew better how something felt than the person experiencing it, after all. So if she thought it was weird then she'd stop unless she wanted her to do it again. Simple as that.

...If only everything could be that simple. She was fairly taken aback by Bug's frustration, her ears flattening against her hair and leaning back away from her again. Why? But...what...? Wasn't it obvious?! She just...she just couldn't! "B-because...you just can't!" She argued lamely. It was Bug who was being silly! Why didn't she want a shirt that fit properly and she could actually keep her wings exposed without having to keep taking them out or putting them back in? Crazy!

Wh-what more did she want to know?! Why didn't she just understand that shirts needed to fit! Tyyne only knew so much, she really was just trying to help Bug! Why didn't she want to listen? This was beginning to make her head hurt. "Because it's...it's just..." It was just how it worked! Mommy said it, the people on television said it whenever Evari was watching...even the people at the stores all said it! "E-everyone does!" Why wouldn't Bug listen to reason?! Tyyne was at a loss. She couldn't think of any other ways to argue this with Bug, wanting so desperately for her to listen. Maybe Tyyne would just have to show and buy Bug one of these shirts herself. Then she'd understand!
