[ Cautiously, she approaches Carbink, attempting to hide how eager she actually is to see it up close. Edna reaches out with a gloved hand, hovering near its ears. Can she.....touch the ears.........are they rock ears??? ]

Is it supposed to be a bunny stuck in a rock? Because it looks like one.

[ Yes, let them not dwell on the heavier topics for the time being...until Steven is ready. ]

[geophile]

[ she sure can! and to confirm that notion, carbink will be leaning in to complete the touch and nuzzle into her open hand. pet its head, edna. it craves attention. ]

Well... It is a Rock-type, if that's what you mean. But it also has its designation split into the Fairy-type, hence its appearance and abilities.

[ no, that's not what she meant at all. but it's cute, sturdy, and totally friendly - what's not to love? ]

[earthpulse]

...What? You want attention too? Geez, Steven's team sure is needy.

[ Edna mutters to Carbink. ...Nnnnnnnnnn, she...gives in to the nuzzling, no thanks to the effects she's experiencing this month. Slowly, she pets its head and ears, glove brushing hesitantly against the stony surface. It's not soft and fluffy, which is kind of a disappointment, but it acts cutely enough.

And to Steven himself: ]

...That's not what I meant at all, but thanks for the nerdlish anyways.

[ Nerdlish is totally a language she made up just now. ]

Most of them are quite friendly. If you're looking for something less so, you and Skarmory may get along.

[ his cool steel bird is rude as fuck and has vanity for days. but she's getting carbink for now, and it's loving the hesitant touches! if she's looking for something soft to pet, its fluffy collar will certainly do the trick. ]

You're very welcome. [ said with his own thinly veiled sass, but it's all in jest. he's learning. ] Can I offer you some tea?

sorry for the lateness; finals swallowed me alive. feel free to drop this if you want :|b

[earthpulse]

[ Fluff spotted. Hand immediately going for the fluff, as predicted. Edna does look up when he offers, however. ]

Sure. What kind?

[ She's not really picky so much as curious. ]

nah

[geophile]

Say the name and I probably have it. I've amassed a bit of a collection over the months that I've been here.

[ seeing as it's one of the few things he can make without burning it, he buys tea frequently. he's rummaging for some green tea himself - he needs to try and take the tension out of his muscles. ]

[earthpulse]

Chamomile, if you will. It's good for the nerves...which is something you might want to consider yourself.

[ Although that's...the same as admitting that she's a teeny bit on edge herself as well. Maybe. Just a bit. ]

[geophile]

...Does it look like I need it?

[ he's taking note of the request for her sake, but he's also curious about himself. usually he's good at hiding his exhaustion... is he slipping? ]

[earthpulse]

Yeah. You've got a little bruise here [ she points on her face where it would be on Steven's face ], and given enough time not sleeping, those bags under your eyes could become as expensive as your suit.

[ eyebags so intense they could be called gucci

No mincing words here. Edna is as blunt as they come. She's sure his ego can handle it. ]

[geophile]

[ yeowch. she really doesn't beat around the bush... but steven can respect that. he chuckles softly, a light smile playing on his lips before he turns to fetch that chamomile. ]

There's no getting anything past you, is there?

[earthpulse]

I try to keep an eye for things people miss. It's stupid to have your head up in the clouds if you can't even notice what's on the ground.

[ Sorey, Mikleo, Lailah, and Alisha are the dreamers. They have the ideals and ideas, the passion that moves others. But people like Edna, Zaveid, and Rose? They're the ones who make them happen. ]

[geophile]

I know it well - It's something that I take care to practice as well.

[ at least, most of the time. depending on the context, it can be easy for him to get carried away... but at least he can talk the talk. ]

You seem quite calm for someone who's asked for a tea to relax nerves.
