You heard of April Fools, get ready for-

[ulternnpc]

The reverse of that.

*image vaguely related

Silly white lies? No, none of that will be coming out of anyone's mouths today. Instead, anyone you meet and talk to you be shocked to realize you're incapable of lying. Staying silent may be an option--or is it? For whatever reason, it's really hard to keep your words in today.

You just might be spouting the first thing that comes out of your mind!

What another, peaceful day in Ultern it is!


...what do you mean that it's not? Well, things have been mostly peaceful for a while anyway. Some chaos is always in order! (Apologies to any Domeists in our midst).

(🌺You thought there'd be no April Fools event?! Surprise! It's true, this is reverse-April Fools. Please enjoy, and don't forget about the OOC plotting post!🌺)

"Don't be, it is far in the past." He was quick to reassure Attila. The past that still haunted and hurt him, was far more recent anyway.

At Attila's confusion as he took Attila's hand chuckled softly.

"I should specify, I meant let me bandage your hand." He placed one hand under Attila's offered hand while reaching for his handkerchief. "It is hard to bandage your own hand like that."

Hearing Attila's reaffirmation, and from the warm smile, Manzana couldn't help but return it. They were small steps, he was sure but those small steps forward could change the world around Attila. Or at least, he couldn't only hope.

"I also hope that...well, I know it takes time, but I do hope we can become close friends as well."

“Oh… thanks.”

Yeah, he should’ve guessed, but he wasn’t used to care and so, the purpose eluded him a bit.

He was fully prepared to believe Manzana was just that lonely that he wanted to walk hand-in-hand with a relative stranger after they lay their hearts bare due to this place’s strange influence… and Attila wouldn’t have minded. He wanted to be of use to him.

But being bandaged like that… Attila stayed quiet as he thought of how to repay Manzana’s many kindnesses. For the first day, he’ll observe. Then, he’ll help out around the house and everything! He could fix anything that needs fixing, do odd jobs, and, of course, try to make an honest living…

"You are most welcome." Taking the handkerchief, Manzana will carefully wrap up Attila's injured hand. Making sure it was covered enough, and securely he nodded to himself. Slipping his hands away, he stepped forward.

"There, how does that feel?" He questioned. "It should hold until we reach home."

It's been a while since he had to bandage himself up, so he wasn't sure if he had done it too well on a complete stranger. Manzana could trust Attila to be honest, given the factor they were both forced to be at that very moment.

“Warm,” Attila answered, without thinking, then felt slightly embarrassed. “… s’good. It should hold.”

Attila tried to focus on the sky and its colours instead, not wanting to linger on the thought too long. Besides, they still had to keep walking. That was something to enjoy, too.

“Thanks, Manzana.”

I'd consider it a wrap! ^^

"You're welcome." Manzana smiled, not minding the moment they were sharing. "Let's head on then."

With that he'll take the lead, making sure Attila was close by as he began to move forward. It was a nice day out in Ultern, as usual and there were still much more they could talk about as they made their way to where he resided in Gilterrace Town.
