Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heidi walked alongside Tuck hand-in-hand, swinging their hands between the two of them and looking up at him with a curious look on her face. He had been there when she'd returned from Halloween with Otto and he had not looked at all pleased. She knew it was just because he'd been worried, because he cared about her, but Heidi wanted to assure him that it was okay! It wasn't a big deal! He didn't need to worry.

She raised their hands to kiss his knuckles, playfully nudging Tuck with her hip and grinning up at him.

"I was super cute, y'know. Even as a zombie." She raised their hands more to do a turn and then moved to walk in front of him, facing her boyfriend and trusting him to not let her trip and fall or to walk into anything. Heidi reached for his other hand to kiss the back of that hand as well. "I had this, like, super short shirt with long sleeves. But it showed off my belly and went all the way up to here.." Still holding Tuck's hand, she showed him where it stopped just under her bust. "I liked it. Maybe I'll see if I can find one like it here, 'cept I think I'll wear a shirt under it.."

Heidi suddenly stopped in front of him, bracing herself for if Tuck didn't catch himself in time.

Oh thank god! He didn't sound so grumpy! Heidi actually sighed with relief and squeezed Tuck's hands, stepping up to him after he had stopped walking until their bodies were touching. "You're upset," Heidi mused when she caught that look on his face. "I'm sorry."

She let go of his hands and reached up to drape her arms over his shoulders. Heidi pulled herself up for a kiss. "I'd have given more warning if it had been a planned trip. Next time it'll be me and you~." She smiled.

"But that's the awesome thing about it! I wasn't..like...actually over there! Those golems are so awesome. None of them ever realized what I was! It was so easy!" Heidi was grinning again. She was glad he wasn't angry.

Hm..what did she want to do? "Weeee could train? Orrr..oh, dinner? Yeah, sure. Whatcha wanna eat?" He sounded so hopeful! It was adorable! She giggled and slid her hands down Tuck's arms until she found his hands again.

Heidi perked up curiously. "W-golems? No! Those're..the weapon ones, right?" She could feel Matilda's attention focus then.

"I can do grilled cheese easy. D'you want anything extra? Ham? Tomato?" She smiled at the kiss she was given and tilted her head to catch Tuck's mouth for a light kiss. It was a quick kiss, nothing crazy. "So what do we do for the W-golems? I think Matilda's excited about it."

She followed alongside Tuck, reaching up to brush Matilda's totem with her fingers. Walking, talking weapon? Like..outside of her head. That would be interesting. Heidi took the cuff bracelet she was handed and put it on, fastening it as she was brought up to a pod. The tech input the necessary information for her and turned the pod on.

From out of the pod came a young woman the same height as Heidi, though she did not share the same shape as her. She had an hourglass-shaped body that was covered in a long, clingy white dress that dragged on the floor. Her skin was so pale it was almost pure white, her eyes were a dark red, and her hair was...

Wow. She had a lot of hair.

It was pale and airy, long curls that bounced as the young woman climbed out of the pod...and nearly fell to the ground with a cry of surprise.

Heidi gasped and reached out to catch the woman. "Whoa! I've gotcha!"

Matilda made a sound of displeasure. "What hath they done to me? My feet! They touch the floor like a common lumpish, guts-griping, varlot!" She complained dramatically. Matilda swooned in Heidi's arms, the back of her hand laying against her forehead as she made poor Heidi carry all of her weight.

The blonde grunted and dragged her away from the pod. "I-I don't think golems can fly, Matilda. I'm sorry," Heidi explained sympathetically to the distraught Banshee. Matilda sighed and pushed off Heidi, straightening herself out and glancing at the ghoul..and then at Tuck. She tapped at her chin and looked the young man up and down.

Disapproval.

"O! My young mistress!" She suddenly cried, her voice screeching slightly. Heidi was suddenly pulled into a tight hug without any warning. "That lout hath ruined thine virtue! Oh, the things I would do if he ever hurt you!"

Heidi blinked. "Don't you mean thee--" Matilda hugged her tighter. She squeaked. "YouisfineIseewhatyoudiditrhymeshaha..!"

Matilda ignored Tuck's protest. She stood back and gave Heidi her full attention, cupping the girl's face and leaning in with narrowed eyes. Heidi just blinked and stared at her weapon. It was weird seeing her face-to-face. Usually she was just..well...a bow.

They both looked up when they heard an unfamiliar voice. Heidi's jaw dropped. That was Herryk? He was a giant! She freed herself from Matilda, the golem's hands had fallen away anyway as they both just..

Holy crap, dude.

Herryk's words finally hit Heidi and the girl blushed. Yes, she was aware that Tuck wanted to, and she was eternally grateful he was willing to wait and that he wasn't an a** about it. Oh god. Matilda huffed, blowing hair from her face and putting her hands on her hips. Poor Tuck looked mortified. "It was your idea~" Heidi grinned, sneaking away from Matilda's side to gently take hold of Tuck's wrists and pull his hands away from his face. She hopped up on her tiptoes to give him a quick kiss on the tip of his nose. "I'm sure it'll be fun, just uh.." She looked Herryk's way.

Huge.

Matilda approached the other three. She felt a bit awkward on her feet and she really would have preferred to be able to float and phase through things. Sigh.

"So thou art Herryk..thine Tuck is a good boil, you say?" Matilda spoke directly to the weapon, trusting him more than what a human who was not her own hunter would say. She may have also been eyeing his shoulder. It looked like it could possibly be a comfortable perch for someone who was not used to walking around.

Meanwhile, Heidi had laced her fingers through Tuck's and was standing close to him while she watched the two weapons meet, whispering to him. "He's huge, Tuck." Suddenly she smirked and looked up at the man. "No wonder he chose you."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Maybe after this initial awkward it would be fun! It would just take getting used to. She blinked, looking up at Tuck after he apologized. Why was he apologizing? Sure, what Herryk said was embarrassing, but it was just the tw--er...four of them. It wasn't a big deal. As long as he didn't share anything personal about her with people outside of the four of them.

"Tuck, really, it's fine," Heidi assured him with a laugh, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Theodore is very fond of Heidi. She smiled more. Theodore even sometimes wonders if he is in-- what?

Matilda's brow raised. She was curious about the end of that sentence. In what? Heidi was more confused thank anything. Why had Tuck interrupted Herryk?

Heidi was content to hold Tuck's hand and follow him outside, though she was still giving him a very curious look. Matilda happily allowed Herryk to pick her up. "I thank thee. Walking on one's feet is strange and foreign, it is not something I have done in quite some time."

Heidi glanced back at the golems. "Usually Matilda tries to rhyme more. She's not very good at it..you're fond of me~." She squeezed Tuck's hand and smiled up at him. Best boyfriend ever. "Does he always talk like that?"

Aw, that was so cute! "I like Theodore, it's a nice name." Was he blushing?! Ahh! Adorable! He almost never did that! She had to hold her breath to keep from giggling. "He's interesting. What was he? He looks like a viking or something." Or something. They were serious. She liked that. Heidi raised their hands to put Tuck's arm around her shoulders with a happy little sigh. "So far he hasn't done anything wrong. As long as he doesn't talk about, you know, what we did the other night..out loud for everyone to hear..." She looked up at Tuck. It wasn't shame, it was that it was no one's business but their own. And if Herryk had no filter that did seem to be kind of concerning.

"What'd you wanna do while we have our two tagalongs, then? Dinner?"

Matilda rest her arm on Herryk's head while she perched delicately on the larger golem's shoulder. This was much better. "These humans have strange money. 'Tis a shame there is no fighting to be had, though I can see why t'would be bad." There we go, back to normal. "Dost thou partake in these golem activities, Herryk?"
