[ STOP ASSUMING SHE'S DRUNK she waves her hand nonchalantly in response to hishi's fretting. ]
It's my bad, I just didn't want to be rude by coming home late... anyway, enough about that—look at you! A whole tray of cookies and a cute stuffed animal? [ she crouches down so that she's closer to hishi's eye level, playfully poking the dinosaur plush's cheek. ] I thought we were supposed to be taking care of you, not outright spoiling you.
[ at this, she looks back up at hilda and winks. WILL FLATTERY WORK ON NPC CHILDREN... ]
[ jan, a mod who knows what's happening: alyssa's drunk
Hishi blinks in owlish surprise when Hilda deposits the plush in her arms. Then, she's quiet for a bit, as if she's not sure how to handle this or Alyssa's flattery?
... If you could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
[ Despite the stiffness of the words, she doesn't sound quite as stoic as she did when she first met them. Looks like she's warming up to her new guardians!
While Alyssa won't be able to help with all of her homework—parts of it pertaining to things like local wildlife and plant life—she can assist with the more universal parts like math. True to what's been said, Hishi seems to be a very bright child, needing assistance mostly with the more complicated concepts. When she talks about school, she goes over the things they've been learning, but makes no mention of any peers.
What are you going to do for dinner, Hilda. The convenience of the scenario means that if she needs any groceries, they're there, but she'll probably have to cook something while Hishi does homework, whoops.
With that said, I won't be mean and make you actually thread that out (unless you wanted to?): here's your next choice! ]
