[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

[ There's someone out in the gardens today. Not that people would be, and maybe there would even be some doing as she does, but this one seems to have a strange presence about her, one that gives a feeling at the pit of the stomach about something bad...

But nothing about her actions seem to to give reason for this feeling. No, not unless there's something really awful about the green-haired young woman taking an interest in the snow. She takes steps crunching her boots into it, a playful smile on her face as she does, and even takes it up into her hands to feel and watch the clumps fall down from it.

Or maybe she isn't doing that at all. Maybe your character happens to be out, minding their own business, when they feel someone watching them- or have that odd feeling come over them. Maybe if they look, kept away, they will see her taking an interest in what they're doing. Carrying bags? Playing in the snow (themselves)? Or just walking? Whatever it may be, Hina is always watching. ]

It's not so obvious that I'm not human.

[And it was supposed to be a secret.]

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

[ WHOOPS SORRY SOL. ]

Maybe not to some, but I can sense it... you don't feel human, just as I wouldn't.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[There's another long pause, Sol again having to take a moment to figure out what to respond to first.]

What are you?

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

[ The pause is okay. Hina is patient, as well as having no problems in answering questions. ]

I'm a collector of misfortune. I take the tragedies that follow humans to allow them peace in their lives.

That is what I am.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

...Hn.

[That answer is less clear than she would like, but she can accept it.]

I'd rather what I am or am not be kept between us.

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

I won't say anything.

[ Though she does wonder why. Unless maybe she's afraid of what others might think of her. ... Oh, she might as well ask. That's why she likes others to do. ] Are you worried about others knowing?

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[She's reluctant to answer that, but... At this point, it probably can't hurt.]

...Yeah.

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

I won't. If you don't cause any trouble for the humans, I'll have no reason to say anything.

[ They don't really seem bad... that's what Hina thinks. But if Sol won't do any wrong, Hina doesn't mind keeping her secret. ]

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[Those are terms Sol shouldn't have any problem keeping. She hasn't caused trouble in a long time now.]

...Thanks.

[It's not something she's used to saying, but it's appropriate now.]

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

That's fine. [ Hmm, well, as Sol turned out to be no problem at all - what should she do now? But she's rather still curious about the other woman, so, after a pause in which her hands come in front of her and curl together - ]

What are you going to do now?

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[Despite everything, Sol is caught off guard by that question. She says nothing for a moment, and then— She lets out a sigh that sounds suspiciously like a chuckle. Well, all things considered, she supposes she owes it to this strange girl to answer her questions.]

I was going to see if there's still fruit in the orchard.

[It seems unlikely, given the snow, but given that the branches hung heavy with all sorts of fruits all through autumn...]

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

[ Would there really be fruits to be found? But- the snow did fall so suddenly. Maybe there could be. ]

There might be, unless the snow knocked them down.

[ But Hina didn't intend to go to see for herself. It wouldn't be good for her to go there, and so she takes a step back. ]

I'll go back deeper into the forest. I'll hope for you that you find some.

[dragoninstalled.livejournal.com]

[For a moment, Sol says nothing, merely watching Hina retreat. Then, she nods and lets out an acknowledging hum, going on her way.]

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

[ Watching Sol take her leave, Hina then take hers, stepping up her pace by taking off from the ground to float instead of walk. She wasn't disappointed by this meeting- and she wouldn't mind if she could meet, or simply see, this woman from today again. ]
