Teddy walked with her, carefully examining the tan plant. "You're from Vacuo?" he asked, looking up at her with a smile. "My mom lives there. How is the weather over there?" he asked, both wanting to know and feigning a little ignorance. He had been over there with his mother for a little while, but he never got a general idea of the weather.

"Hot most of the time, Deadly the rest of it. Getting lost in a sandstorm or even stepping on a plant like that one counts for a good deal of deaths in Vacuo.", she said as she kept walking once she saw a bench she sat down saying "But the most important part is knowing your plants, since some parts of one are deadly to eat while other parts can save your life."

[Mikelobmike]

Teddy sat down next to her, keeping close. He had grown a lot more comfortable around her. "All that sand must get annoying. I think I would prefer the forests here to that. At least the forests are relaxi..." he said, interrupting himself with a yawn. After all that stress keeping him going, he really was quite tired.

[00Mogar]

Kale smiled again and said "It isn't so bad at times but I do prefer the forests here since my weapon maintenance goes way down.", she leaned back a bit acting like she was stretching looking at his pocket to see if she could spy the paper before going back to her original position.

[Mikelobmike]

Teddy's pocket did have his scroll in it, but the letter was nowhere to be found in there. Teddy rubbed his eyes, his exhaustion creeping up on him. "I know a lot of good camping spots around here. Uncle Mac will sometimes let me off on the weekends to go camping if he knows business will be slower." he said, relaxing into the bench as the serenity of the forest played in his mind.

[00Mogar]

"I love camping, maybe we should go some time.", she smiled as she saw him getting tired, trying to speed it up a little she started softly humming a lullaby that her mother sang to her as a kid.

[Mikelobmike]

"Yeah..." he said, feeling himself starting to doze off. He closed his eyes for a brief second, his head coming toward her shoulder. The second it made contact, his eyes burst open and he quickly stood up, shaking his head slightly. "I-I'm sorry, I think I'm feeling a bit tired...um...another time, maybe?" he said, trying to rub the sleep from his eyes so he could go back to his room.

[00Mogar]

Kale knew this would be one of her only chances to get the note so as his eyes shut and his head came down her hand slipped into his pocket and pulled out all of the contents as he shot up making it seem like his shooting off the bench caused his scroll to fly out. Kale stood up and slipping her hand into her pocket as she kneeled down to pick up his scroll and hand it to him, she smiled sweetly saying "Here you go, it's fine you look like you've had a long day but couldn't you stay for a little longer?"

[Mikelobmike]

Teddy looked over to Kale, smiling as he grabbed his scroll. "Um, thanks. I-I think I can only stay for a little bit, I need to sleep soon." he said, taking his place next to her again. He blinked a few times, trying to keep himself awake this time. He relaxed back into the bench, swaying a little as he tried to stay upright.

[00Mogar]

Kale smiled as she took the seat next to him and said "You know no one cares if you nap in here, I've been doing it for years, I find it more peaceful then the rooms at times.", she needed to find that note and fast before she would be forced to open a topic she had avoided for fear he might flip out at her, but she would use it as a last resort if need be.

[Mikelobmike]

Teddy could only nod weakly at this. He closed his eyes, his head falling against her shoulder as he fell asleep. A small thunk could be heard behind him as the letter fell from under his chestpiece. He slept against her, his soft breathing the only sign that he was still alive.

[00Mogar]

Kale smiled as his head slumped against her and she heard something drop, she reached behind him and grabbed the note. Opening it she read it before taking a picture and sighing, she folded it up and put it back where it fell from while whispering to herself "It's a shame that such a sweet boy could get mixed up with them.", she put her scroll away and pulled out a book to read while she waited for him to wake back up.

[Mikelobmike]

It was a good half an hour before Teddy finally woke back up from his nap, blinking a few times as he looked up at Kale. He then proceeded to go wide-eyed, reeling backwards so hard he fell straight off the bench, landing on his back. "I-I'msorryIdidn'tmeantoandIwastiredandyoutoldmenottoleaveandpleasedon'thurtme." he said in one breath, backing against a potted plant on the ground. The letter was right next to him, seemingly knocked out when he fell off the bench. He quickly grabbed it, sliding it back under his chestpiece.

[00Mogar]

Kale looked at him and smiled "It's fine, as I said it was fine.", she closed her book and stretched, she stood up and walked over to him giving him a hand up.
