Kara: *harumphs* He's good for more than trinkets. Most times. >.>
Uru: -fans wings and lifts an eyebrow at the 'sometimes'- "Well, that is good to know. When am I not good for more?"
Kara: *ponders* When I'm mean and irritated? |D *shot* Then nobody's good for anything. >3>
Uru thought a bit about that, about to make a quick response before thinking it over. "What about walkers? They are good for fighting and getting aggression out on moody days >3>" bracing himself for something for saying 'moody'.
Kara: ...My grandpa was a walker. I wouldn't want to get on the bad side of one. >.> Have you ever fought one? *more preoccupied with the subject of walkers than with the subject of her mood swings*
Uru shook his head. "All I've battled were stormy seas and losing my best friend." He smiled, trying to keep the conversation from turning sad. "But luckily I found her again, so its all okay now."
Kara: Do you mean that girl you make pretty things for? emotion_kirakira Are you guys in looooove?
Uru nodded, then started sputtering. "Wait, what?!? Wh-who said anything about having babies? We're not ready for that kind of thin-thing yet e_____e"
Kara: I never said anything about babies, you dummy. Does that mean you're thinking about them? o.o *doesn't even want to think about having kids yet*
Uru started to wheeze slightly. "No-no! Of course not! No babies, nope ewe." He finally got control of his breath, trying to blank his mind and think only of his next jewelry piece. "I-I do like her. She's.... she's my buddy e__e." Uru was too busy trying to get thoughts of his own kids out of his mind he didn't even think of asking if she wanted any.
Kara: You idiot. *pokes him with a hoof* I'm sure she loves you, dork. *flicks her tail* You make her pretty things all the time, and you've known each other for a long time, right? Plus, you're adorable. *significant look* You can talk about it, I'm not going to squeal and make fun of you or anything. >.> I think it's sweet.
Uru's head got a little dizzy at the thought of Ysa loving him back, his whole muzzle turning a pinkish color as he blushed. The only thing that snapped him out of it was the hoof on his shoulder and the mare calling him adorable. He could only respond in a mumble. "Th-thank you." He gave a little cough and tried to make eye contact to steady himself. "You are pretty too. You must have stallions swooning over you as well."
Kara watched the stallion blush and then it was her turn. She averted her gaze when he mentioned stallions. "Yeah, well. Aside from you," she said, joking a little, "there's really only one I want to impress." That last part was serious, and she didn't know she meant it until that moment. She felt her flush rise to cover her entire face and looked down at the ground. "I-I mean..." But she couldn't think of anything to say, and trailed off instead.
Uru tilted his head. Is that really what he looked like when he got nervous? No wonder others giggled and called him adorable. He couldnt help but allow the grin to spread over his muzzle, a little devious twinkle in his eye as he leaned in. "Oh?" It was his turn to nudge her with a shoulder. "Who's the lucky stallion-to-be?" Giving a little eyebrow wiggle to ease the tension.
Kara looked up at Uru, one eyebrow raised. "That makes it sound cheesy," she complained, but answered anyway. "His name's Adakias. I tried to make off with one of his gems and apparently won him over. Somehow. Or something. I don't know if he even likes me, since I hang around him more than he tries hanging out with me."
Uru gave a little cheesy grin. "Whats wrong with being cheesy about lo---- about lov----" he coughed. "About liking someone a lot?" Uru's eyebrow arched again. Apparently his little friend had more of a stealing problem than he was aware of. He might have to do something about that later.... "How did trying to steal something 'win him over'?" Uru thought for a moment about the last part. "Well, if you are always hanging around him, maybe you are not giving him the chance to seek and find you? Though I can understand wanting to be with someone every time you are apart...."
Now it was Kara's turn to cough. "Uh, well... you see..." She didn't know how to explain it. "Therockwasattachedtohisskin," she spit out. Her eyes shifted to the side, not quite meeting Uru's. "I don't think I won him over so much as... well, I don't know how to explain it. We just became buddies. Like you and me after that sand dollar. But yeah, I get what you're saying."
Uru's eyes switched from an arched bro to both raising slightly. Blinking as he tried to play back her words in his mind, trying to make since of the story she had rushed. All he could think of at the moment to say was, "Wow... I don't think I've ever met anyone who had rocks on their skin....." He paused, contemplating as he stared at the ground. Finally, he looked back up at her, serious about what he next said. "Did you ask if he ever sheds? I know Ysa sheds scales sometimes....?"
Kara's eyes widened. After all that, that was what Uru had gotten? "Uh, no, Uru, I didn't ask him if he sheds. All I know was that it was definitely attached, and he seemed pretty adamant about it hurting when I tried to pull one of them off of him." Rolling her eyes, she grinned at her friend. "Do you ever make pretties with Ysa's scales?"
"Yikes. Kay, maybe they really don't come off...." His nose scrunched a little at the thought of using Ysa's scales. "Not....yet? I mean, they are wondrously beautiful and shiny.... but that's almost like using a tooth that falls out." He looked to her, almost asking for advice with his eyes. "Right?"
Kara laughed at the thought. "Well, if they're still shiny and don't get all dull and wrinkly like snakeskin..." She shrugged. "I mean, I wouldn't make anything solely from them, maybe space them with pretty shells or something? Make one for you and her. 'Buddy' necklaces." She stuck her tongue out at him, mentally replacing the word 'buddy' with 'lover.' Adorkable, she thought, just adorkable.
Uru nodded slowly. "Or find shells to glue them too so both sides could be shine and petty." A little light in his head going off, reflecting with the happiness on his face. "You know, jellyfish jelly is a great adhesive." He though about it a moment, wondering what could be used to make a buddy necklace different than a regular necklace. "Mhm, buddies for life." He smiled at her. "Like we're buddies. Maybe I can make you one too." He paused "Well, something made from you I mean.... I don't think you would want Ysa's scales...."
"I've heard the same about barnacle mash," Kara said, only partly joking. When he said that they were buddies like he and Ysa were buddies, though, Kara shook her head vigorously. "Uh-uh, not the same kind of buddies. And thank you for the offer, but... I don't really shed anything." She frowned, her eyes straining as she looked at the horn that rose over the middle of her forehead. She had never figured out what the dang thing was for, but that didn't shed, either. She just knew that it could make hugging anybody really awkward and painful for the other person if she didn't move her head just right.
Uru tilted his head at her vigorous head shake. Maybe she had something in her eyes.... "Yeah, I've heard that, but I've never tried it.... Usually jellyfish jelly works well cause it dries clear too." He tilted his head the other direction now. If he had tried turning it more the same way, he was afraid it might fall off. " You don't shed? Not even your mane or tail? I know my curls get caught on stuff all the time..."
"Yeah, I imagine that barnacles would dry all yellow and icky." She thought about her mane and tail, but then shook her head again. "Nope, my mane is too short to do anything with, and my tail fluff is the same way," she replied with a small smile. In that respect, she looked exactly like her father, and she had even received some of the stallion's height. "And my horn never goes anywhere. It would probably hurt a loooot if it got snapped off." Just the thought made her eyes water. It didn't feel good to put any pressure on it at all, let alone enough to break it.
