Fern: Mistress Frieren!
Frieren: Oh!
Hello Fern.
I'm surprised that you found me so soon.
Fe: What are you even doing here?
Fr: Just reading my grimoires in peace.
I found one that completely removes mold from food.
Isn't that amazing?
Fe: Huh!
That actually sounds useful...
Förster:(Muffled) Hey!
Down here!
Fe: Huh?
Mistress Frieren, did you here that?
Fr: Heard what?
Fe:👣👀
I think there's something stuck to your foot.
😒 By the way, why aren't you wearing socks?
Fr:😑 I put them all in our laundry...
Fe: It looks like...
[She prys you off of Frieren's foot and onto the palm of her hand]
A little person?
🤸♂️
✋🏻
Fr: Uh oh...
That must be Förster.
Poor guy.
Fe: Who's Förster?
Fo:😵💫 I'm...Förster...
[You & Frieren catch her up on your situation]
Fe: So...
You created a spell to be extremely small?
That sounds perverse.
Fo: No!
I'm trying to create a spell that makes me emulate certain characteristics of a Stille!
Besides, there are uses for spells that reduce size.
Espionage, Evacuation, etcetera...
Fe: I suppose...
So, where is your-
👢
⤵️
🏹💥
😑...staff...
Fo:😑 It sounds like it's stuck on the bottom of your boot.
Darn...
I was almost done fixing it too...
Fe: I'm sorry.
Fo: Hey.
You didn't step on me.
I'm just glad that my staff isn't stuck to the bottom of her foot.
Fr: That would've been unfortunate...
And annoying...
Our new little friend here is going to be staying with us for the time being.
Fe: Understood.
[Fern places you on her right shoulder, to which you knelt down & grabbed her collar for added stability]
Fo: Thank you.
Could I...
Maybe get my staff back?
Fe: Of course.
[Fern moves to sit on the stump, then went to attempt to remove your staff]
It's...
Really stuck on there...
Fo: Must be the resin.
It was in pretty bad shape after your mistress stepped on it accidentally.
Fr: I stepped on it?
Fe: And him as well...
👢
↘️🏹
Got it!
👉🏻🚶♂️[Fern tries to return your staff, but the uncured resin now stuck it to her finger]
Fo: Awe man, you've got to be kidding me...
[You try with all your might to pull your staff free.
Eventually, you pulled it free, but you stumble & fell back, seeing Fern's back as you rapidly descent until you grabbed onto something soft to break your fall]
Uh...
Miss Fern.
Could you please forgive me?
Also, please don't fart.
[You were clinging to her right, fabric-clad buttcheek]
Fe:😒...
Fr:😏 I think she's mad at you.
Fe: I am not.
Slightly upset, but I know that the situation is...
Complicated.
🍑🧗♂️
🫴🏻⤴️[Fern gently grabs you from her buttock, then set you back onto her shoulder once more]
I would recommend that you put your staff away to prevent further complications.
Fo: Understood.
✨️[You put your staff away & return to secure yourself on Fern's collar]
Fr: Shall we return to town?
Fe: Lets.
⏳️...
Fr: Fern.
We're getting close to town.
You should probably conceal our new friend here to avoid unwanted eyes.
On the off chance that my presence doesn't take everyone's attention.
Fe: Fair point.
Mister Förster, get under my collar for cover.
Fo: Of course.
[You slip under Fern's collar, now on the bare skin of her right shoulder]
Fr: That's better.
⏳️...
Fo:
💦
😓
At least it beats foot sweat...
👃🏻
And Fern smells nice.
💢
😱 WHA!
[Fern nearly tripped due to an imperfection in the town street]
Fr: You alright?
They really ought to better maintain these roads.
Fe:😥 I-uh...
I'm fine.
Fr: And what of little Förster?
Fe: He's fine.
Fr: Okay.
Just checking
[How is Förster?]
