their pale eyes drift to the critter, carefully accepting them in their arms. gently pets administered to their ears. "your little ones are so soft and cute." they lock onto Silas, nodding slowly. "if you'd like to make attempts, be my guest. you sound as if you've the potential to make
Silas looks to Kilda and then offers them the bun in his arms. Which starts sniffing at them before looking up. "I think i can provide some stimulation for the soil in your domain. My hands are good for many things." He laughed. "I am a craftsman by trade, but Nature is my heart."
glancing around, ensuring their new friend wouldn't be in any harm. seems the hunters thankfully, haven't returned. glancing down to Caecilia, warmly smiling. "they sure do, miss Caecilia. lots of them. M"
Sniffing the air a bit and noticing the change in temperature. It was damp, humid... She kneels down, touching the soil carefully: "Ooh... Flowers bloom here, right?" Cheery.

"animal life very sensitive to the emotions of those around them, after all." they stifle a soft chuckle, quietly admiring the curious creature. "your little ones will thankfully have plenty to eat within my realm."
"Truth be told, if I am calm around someone, they see no need to be worried." He crouches down and let a bun hop into his arms before standing up and tilting the withered flower away from their curious little nose. "Ah ah ah...Not for eating, Little Bun." And if the bunny could pout, it would.
they're asleep in a field of flowers. how soothing and comforting.
soon, they'd arrive in the heavily foggy swamps of White Depths. "it isn't much, but i am proud to call this home."
"Of course!" A nod, following her: "It's a pleasure, Kilda"
(( ohhh, do i love kildas femme faceclaim so much for them. art: Hoyoverse / official.
a long - lived species ? It takes quiet note of that. "you've several decades of wisdom, growth, and experience . . . to be expected." it grinned more this time, regarding him with intense warmth. glancing down to said bunnies. "such adorable little ones . . . i am pleased to meet their
"Over my eighty plus summers of life I've seen a lot of different things. If the option presents itself I opt for communication. Besides." He gestures down, bunnies everywhere as they hop quietly into view. "My buns aren't afraid of you, that's enough as well."
hearts are a heavy burden . . . yet, it doesn't have one.
"what a peculiar young man you are." they tilt their head in curiosity. returning his smile with a slight grin. "i appreciate the seal of approval . . . "
"If you intended harm, I still would've accepted the flower. But knowing more now won't change how I was treating you." He grins, his fangs showing themselves. "Entity or not, you are kind. That is more than enough."
it relaxed, believing he could be trusted now. "a smart child to have seen through my form." it echoes its thoughts aloud. "you could say i am an entity. but, i promise i mean you no harm."
"I'm a Viera, we live in harmony with the forest. I do not ask for violence, I ask for clarity." He smiled gently. "I know when the Wood speaks, I listen to it. You speak with the gentle rustling of nature's foliage."
it would stop in its tracks, before glancing over its shoulder to lock eyes with Silas. "if i answer yes, would you say you're here to hunt me ?" there is a note of hostility in their tone, but only due to wariness.
Silas follows after them, his shadow shimmers in concern but he shakes his head. "Kilda." He spoke gently. "Would you happen to be a forest entity? Is this your domain?"
the entity shakes its head, offering a gentle and reassuring smile. "it is of no bother to me . . . you seem harmless as it is. come along, then." it gestured for him to follow, soon walking towards the direction of the swamps.
"Could you take me there then? If its poor soil quality I'd like to see for myself." He blinked and laughed before rubbing his head. "If its no trouble to you."
"you seem like a gentle child. i am more than happy to welcome you to my home, miss Caecilia." such pure, radiant warm, it thinks to itself. "call me Kilda. come along, now."
Under the blindfold, her eyes twinkle with excitement: "I would love to! Oh.... My name is Caecilia, nice to meet you, miss!" Friendly, offering a bright smile.
an arrow is lodged into the left size of its torso, black liquid seeping out of the fresh wound it has created. yet, it seems unbothered . . . weakly trying to pull it out.
"not too far from here . . . would you like to see ?"
"Ooooh.... Where's that place?" Curious.
"you certainly may." its eyes drift to the flower, then back to Silas. "there's a certain patch by a swamp that grow like that. i deduce the cause to be poor soil quality."
"Kilda...Then may I ask a question?" He held up the wilted flower. "This flower, do they grow like this or did it just naturally wilt?"

"it's where i call home. White Depths, to be exact."
"The depths?"
"the pleasure is all mine, Silas." their tone polite, sweet as honey. "you may address me as Kilda."
"Silas, a pleasure to meet you." Then, he pauses, his sharpened eyes looking in their own gaze. "And what do I call you?"
(( ouuugghhh. kilda having venomous teeth bc i think it should.
warmly smiling. "you're quite welcome. there is plenty more by the depths, too."
Happily takes it. "Thank you!"
they smile slightly in return, nodding. "you're welcome. what is your name, gentle one ?"
Wilted or not, he accepts it gratefully. Smiling after the fact. "Thank you."
handing a flower to READER. but . . . it's rather wilted.
life ? rest ? it can't remember the last time they experienced such. if only, someone could see it. existence is a lonely thing.
