Mika paused to listen before nodding. "I see. Well if you ever change your mind, feel free to ask us for help." He replied. He looked at Valk. "We should start heading back. Lead the way?" He said.
Valk gave a nod, starting to walk through the woods back toward the house. Once she was further ahead, he turned his attention back down to the Mini. "I know she can be a little intimidating, but she's really a nice person. She just takes a little time to get used to." He promised, using the tip of his finger to lightly pat the tiny fellow on the back.

The walk was a little rough, as Nathan wasn't used to being carried around. However, he was quite thankful that the man above understood how Nathan was feeling. This Mika character was cool.
While they were on the way, Nathan heard him speaking to him, trying to justify Valk. And a rational part of him knew that not all witches were the same. But the irrational part of him knew something else, something much worse. And that'd always, absolutely always trump his rationality. So, he took what Mika said with a grain of salt.

(OK i have a stomachache, so no idea how long i'll be online.)
The walk through the woods took them nearly half an hour until they came to a small house at the edge of a suburban neighborhood. Really, it wasn't much compared to the other houses, but clearly it was enough for them. Valkoinen unlocked the front door and let Mika inside with Nathan. Most of the house was messy, books and clothes strewn about in hazardous piles. A number of dishes were stacked by the sink waiting to be cleaned.
Mika moved over to the table and cleared away some of the books before setting Nathan down. He offered a small smile, apologetic for the state of the house. "Sorry about the mess. We don't really have guests."

(No worries, I've been so poofy recently, no need to worry about not being on.)
Nathan wasn't exactly comfortable having to be carried, especially for such a long time. But he was okay, because he didn't have to make contact with Valkoinen. He tried his best to avoid even glancing her way. Eventually though, they made it, and Nathan was glad. He'd seen houses before, a long, long time ago. Hell, he lived in one. But well, those days were long gone, and the last time he'd been in a comfortable house was over 5 years ago.
Sighing, Nathan was thankful to be set down, able to walk around without being carried. Looking around the place, Nathan heard Mika's apologies, and simply nodded. Since they were no longer touching, he couldn't communicate telepathically. He just had to use simple nods and shakes of his head.

(Sorry i had hw and i fell sleep.)
Mika stood upright and headed into the kitchen, pulling a snack from the cupboards. He usually preferred fish, but they didn't have any at the moment. For now, he picked up a box of blueberries and returned to the table with them. He picked one from the box, setting it in front of Nathan as an offering. He wasn't exactly sure what Mini's ate but it was worth a try.
Valkoinen had searched through a few piles of books, pulling a few and sitting on the couch as she flipped through the pages. She was still curious about Mini's but she could get answers from Nathan directly. For now, she was looking for an easier way to communicate.

(It's fine. God knows that tomorrow will be crazy, starting college and all.)
Nathan looked cautiously at the blueberry. He knew what it was, he even ate them before the incident. But now, it being nearly his own size, it was an entirely different beast. An irrational part of him feared that if he got too close, and he tried touching it, it would attack him. He knew this wasn't the case, but he couldn't help how he felt.
Finally though, Nathan walked up, and began nibbling on the food offering, given to him by Mika. It was a nice start, and perhaps everything would be okay here. Perhaps he could actually be happy. Looking outside, Nathan noticed the sun was going down.

(hehe i've been going to college for almost five years now. it's tiring)
Valkoinen took a moment to realize the sun was starting to set as well before she got up and locked the front door. After a short pause, she drew a spell into her hand, releasing it onto the door. There was a brief light before everything appeared to go back to normal. She returned to the couch and started passing through the books again.
Mika watched her quietly before turning his attention back to the food in front of him. He noticed Nathan had started eating and gave a small smile.

(Proof of it being tiring. For the first time in God knows how long, I fell asleep around 9ish.)
Nathan smiled back up at Mika, before yawning. He'd have to figure out where he was going to sleep. He hoped they wouldn't try to accommodate him. As strange as that may seem, Nathan was a big boy, and he liked to find his own place to sleep. Figure out what he could do with what was around.
It wasn't long before Nathan finished the blueberry, sufficiently full. It'd been quite awhile since he had a good meal, so he really appreciated that.

(I'm in class but I'm done with my work.)
Seeing as how Nathan had been quiet for some time, Mika looked at him. "Everything alright?" He asked as he closed the little case of blueberries to store away for later.
Valkoinen found what she was looking for and gave an exasperated sigh. Why were these spells so demanding? Where was she even supposed to get Salamander Fire? She tossed the book over the back of the couch as she picked up another one, hoping for any sort of substitution spell or something less difficult to set up.

(Ahh, I don't have classes until 4 hours from now. Or rather, class. I don't think I'll be doing afternoon classes again though.)
Nathan simply nodded at Mika, glad that he took the blueberries away. As full as he was, Nathan was well aware that he could sometimes overeat, especially considering how rare food came at times.
Looking over at Valk, Nathan still felt uneasy. She wasn't like the witch from the past, but that didn't mean anything. It could simply be an act, a ploy to gain his trust, before she used him. Shaking his head though, Nathan tried to put these thoughts out of his head. He wanted to see the goodness, but it was hard.

(X3i'll have lecture in a few hours, but it never lasts very long.)
Flipping through the next book, Valkoinen gave another irritable sigh. "Where all of these written in the Dark Ages? What even is a Sun Tear?" She huffed, setting the book aside for now. Forget means of communication, Nathan had demonstrated he could get his words across without too much issue. She got up and headed over to the fridge, rummaging through before she found an orange. She moved behind Mika, leaning on the back of his chair as she started peeling the fruit.
"No luck, I'm guessing?" Mika remarked.
"None. All of these books need updating. Firstly, into English. I'm sick of reading Latin. It's a dead language, just let it go!" She griped sourly.

(x3 I have no clue what Psych is going to be like, but I hope it's interesting. My mom was telling me she loved her Psych professor, and she went to every class he taught.)
Nathan watched as the frustrated witch moved about. He feared for their safety, because flashbacks came back to him. When the witch with which he had prior experience was angry, she'd often take it out on those around her. Namely him, and it could range from any variety of curses or spells. She was probably the cruelest witch of all, but when that's the only experience Nathan's had with one, it doesn't exactly set a high bar for the rest of them.
Looking back at Mika once more, Nathan decided to see if he could talk with him. He was thinking about going to bed, but he wouldn't go to sleep until they did. Just a natural precaution.

"So what now, then?" Mika asked.
"I'm going out. We're short on food, anyway." Valkoinen decided, pulling the last of the orange peel off and tossing it in the trashcan as she stood upright and headed through the doorframe back into the living room. "Will you be okay on your own?" She asked, looking back briefly.
MIka nodded. "I'm not entirely alone this time." He replied with a small smile, gesturing to Nathan.
"If you say so. I'll be back before the sun comes up." She said, grabbing a jacket from one of the sitting chairs and heading outside. Once she was gone, Mika turned his attention back to Nathan. He placed his hand down for the Mini to climb up, figuring this was better than just grabbing him.

Nathan was pleased to see that Valkoinen was going to be leaving. Of course, this didn't mean much for Nathan, since he still couldn't get rest, or explore, as long as Mika was awake.
Nathan smiled slightly back up at Mika, when he made reference to him. Of course, Mika was nice, but Nathan was still rather standoffish. He was definitely more comfortable with Mika, but for the time right now, he just wanted to get some sleep, and have some alone time. He'd had a lot of interaction, more than he was used to.

"Is there anyplace you want me to move you to or anything I can bring you before I turn in for the night?" Mika asked, offering a small smilie. He wanted to stay awake and wait for Valkoinen to get home, but he was too tired. He could already tell he wouldn't make it past midnight.

So it turns out, I was lying, I never responded soon. And it is with my deepest regrets that I have to withdraw from our roleplay. I'm going to only be holding a couple of roleplays up, until school settles down. Thanks for roleplaying with me while we roleplayed together.
