Seventeenth Ride

[gorgeous_gorgon]

[For the past several days, Rider has been keeping mostly to herself. She has spent almost all of her time in her house, and the time she hasn't spent there has been spent either working at the library or buying groceries

[Since he's also in the park, due to the epic camping trip, have a curious Sealand. Feel free to note that he's pretty well armed for a twelve year old boy. He's carrying a bow and several arrows, a knife, and a slingshot.]

What's wrong, lady? Are you lost?

[gorgeous_gorgon]

Hm? No. I am merely admiring the tree blossoms.

[mare_libertas]

Oh. They're nice, I guess.

[he's thinking that that's kind of boring, but it's probably a fun activity for an old lady.]

I'm on a camping trip. We're learning how to shoot stuff!

[Rider idly wonders who would take a group of children on a camping trip to learn how to use weapons. But she doesn't particularly care beyond a bit of curiosity.]

I see.

*turns around*

What do you want?

[hourai_branch]

Oh, you're that lady on the phone!

[gorgeous_gorgon]

...It seems that way.

[Saber happens to be strolling the park as well, trying to unwind after one of her daily patrols of her street, when she happens upon Rider on the same path. Saber has her nearly trademark lead pipe with her, her free hand kept conspicuously out of view.]

Hello, Rider. [She then takes notice of her general appearance.]

Are you...feeling well?

[gorgeous_gorgon]

I am healthy, if that is what you are asking.

[Saber looks at Rider for a long moment, before offering a shallow bow.]

Please excuse my rudeness, it is none of my business.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

...You need not apologize. It was I who was rude.

[ sits down next to her-- not because of lack of benchspace, but because she has purple hair and therefore is probably his kind of "normal"-- and cracks open a book ]

[ even though it's none of his business ] It is probably not as bad as you think.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

...You claim to know what is on my mind?

[pintsizescience]

Merely a hint.

[gorgeous_gorgon]

Then apparently I am too obvious.
