"Hmmm..." A finger rested gently on her chin, eyes narrowed ever so slightly as to hint at a somewhat quizzical nature behind the tough armour and aloof personality. Bonnie stood in front of a small stall, with various fruits and herbs laid out on it. The owner, a small exceed with peach coloured fur, would nervously wait behind as they watched Bonnie thoroughly inspect her wares.
"C- Can I help you?"
There was no response, she simply continued staring at the different coloured herbs and small handful of berries. It wasn't the most fruitful of stalls, but it had enough to sell to provide enough jewel for the exceed to scrape by. With the absence of a reply, the cat simply retreated back to a wooden chair and continued to watch the warrior.
By this point, Bonnie was so engrossed in inspecting everything that she was no totally unaware of her surroundings, as well as the concerned owner. Her intentions were yet to be known.

 casually dressed, vasili watched as the woman pondered on as to exactly what she wanted. he wasn't sure if he should intervene now or come back later. but who was to say she'd be gone then? it was a gamble he wasn't looking to bet nor take the chance on. he had places to be, food to cook, and sleep to catch up on.
his right brow risen upon looking at the female from behind within a questioning manner. he wasn't sure if she was broken, frozen, or confused; maybe she'd never seen a merchant before. either way, this was starting to get old. "hey, you got amnesia or something, you're holdin' up the line here." vasili interjected.
a palm found its way to the nape of his neck. massaging the creak within it as he had enough of waiting. "you sure you don't need help or are you choosin' to ignore the cat merchant?" he wasn't sure if she'd heard him. so, with his left palm, he'd come to lightly, and quickly, pat the female's back. "hey, wake up!" vasili exclaimed, this time louder.
note: thought i'd do a favor and yoink this beauty!

"What?" Bonnie replied quickly, spinning on her heel and staring directly into the man's eyes. She did not mean it in a hostile way, her expression was still quite soft and neutral, her eyes wide with worry and confusion. Yes, she was definitely broken in some regard. "Oh." She turned back around to face the stall, then looked up at the merchant who was still nervously shuffling around. "Did you ask me something?" At this point, the merchant just shook his head. Bonnie was far from intimidating, but there was something about the lack of life in her eyes and tenseness in her movement that made it seem that way. She was like a frightened deer that could just as easily lash out if someone made any sudden movements. This lasted a little too long, making the air quite uncomfortable. It was like her brain took ten times longer to process everything around her, a constant delay in reactions. Suddenly, she smiled and clapped her hands, making everyone nearby jump. "Ah! Sorry! I was just wondering," She suddenly took a very confident pose, hand on waist and lips pouting as she pointed to the fruit and herbs. "Do you think the pink fluffy leaf would taste nicer in a tea, or the orange brambles?"Finally, the merchant took a few steps forwards, his eyebrows furrowed. "M- Ma'am, that's poison.""Oh."

was she an airhead? vasili leaned in for a closer look. examining the female's expression, he'd come to jump from the sudden movement she'd done. "yup..." he answered his own question. women were nothing but trouble.
"it's pretty clear you don't have a brain..." he commented aloud. arms folded as the golden hues were fixed upon the woman's strange demeanor. vasili wasn't here to stay in this place for long and needed to get back to the inn he was staying in as soon as possible. "you're lookin' for something to make tea with, but aren't familiar with your tea leaves..." he hoped this woman didn't frequently forage for tea on her own. he was afraid she'd run into something poisonous one of these days.
"look here," he'd come to step forward. pointing at a group of herbs, "these right here are red clovers. they're pretty good for women i've heard. it has a lot of delicacies that'll keep some pretty nasty stuff from invading a woman's body." pointing to another batch, he'd continue, "and this is bee balm. also good for women and those who've come down with a nasty flu, the bedridden." in this day and age it wasn't easy to acquire proper treatment, so many have to rely on herbs if they can't find a doctor.
"you followin' me? there's a few more over he--" he'd pause to make sure that the female was listening. he really hoped she wasn't going to be a pain in the ass for him. poor merchant, poor vasili, just who was this strange woman.

Staring even harder at the stall now, her brain had become jumble of confusing thoughts and facts about poisonous plants. She did her best to remember everything she knew about tea and herbs, but it just made her head hurt even more. If it were possible, there would be steam escaping out her ears. "I... Do have a brain." She confirmed, tapping her head and frowning. "I think with it every day."Being completely serious, she crossed her arms and watched as the stranger started giving her a lecture on all the different plants. She literally got up to hearing about the red clover before her mind switched off, her mouth suddenly agape and drooling as she imagined herself eating cake. Bonnie pictured herself on a large open field, with the sun shining down on her as she lay on a blanket, tea set arranged and sweet treats stacked as high as the sky. "you followin' me? there's a few more over he--" Bonnie suddenly snapped back into reality, wiping away the drool from her mouth and glancing around, as if she had been thrust into a new world and had no idea where she was. "I- Uh, yes. Woman leaf, Bee bums. Got it!"In all honesty, she was annoyed that someone had made her out to be silly and was now telling her about one of her favourite hobbies - tea making. Getting all red and huffy, she would abruptly point at the poisonous brambles and herbs before shouting. "I want these ones!"

"you can't have those!" he sharply responded. this woman was off her rockers. she reminded him a bit of his younger sibling, Emil Tezzeret . he can't properly recall the child-like demeanor of his matching this woman's own, but it was somewhere near there. his patience, thankfully, had already been polished by someone of equal, if not lesser, intelligence then her. "i'm charging you a hefty price after this, dammit..." in this ruined world, who'd thought there would be people like this. it made him wonder, back then, what was the world like before it became the normality. it was all vasili ever knew, this was the world he was born into. "hey, girl, what's your name?" he, begrudgingly, asked. "the name's vasili." he'd at least like to know the name of his headache. "are you looking for a specific tea or something? there's got a be a reason you're here. or are you just sightseeing?" he asked, a brow risen. note: ahhh, rushed post! sorry about this one!! |

"Yes, I can!" She snapped back, slamming down a pouch of jewels on the table and grabbing a handful of the herbs before putting it in a wicker basket she was carrying. Her face was all red and her cheeks had puffed up, there was a mixture of fierce determination and worry in her eyes, but she was going to see this through. "First of all, I'm a woman. And my name is Bonnie." Flicking her hair back, she'd step away from the stall slightly to arrange her basket of goods. Inside were the poisonous herbs she just bought, a small bread roll, a dead beetle, odd socks and some ribbons. It was quite visible to anyone nearby, the strange armoured woman fiddling about with the most peculiar bits'n'bobs that she had acquired. "I'm shopping?" She would reply, "Never know what I want until I see it, and I wanted those herbs. So I bought it."That's when it hit her, the sudden realisation that she just spent the last of her months wages on poisonous herbs. And there was still a week left until the guild gave her some sort of allowance. Of course, she could go out and do a mission, but that was too stressful and she didn't like scary monsters or working hard.
