I'm your little butterfly

[papillonmagique]

Who: Zoe Gallais and OPEN
Where: Capricorn District
Summary: Zoe has a quest that she needs to complete, but she's not that great at it.
Warnings: Possible hitting with nets will occur.

[The quest Zoe had been given by the Velvet Room involved catching a blue butterfly. So today Zoe was out in the Capricorn District trying to find said blue butterfly. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much experience with bug catching and tends to mostly been flailing around with the net she had be given.

So she apologizes in advance if she hits or nearly hits anyone with the net; she just really wants to catch the blue butterfly and nothing will stop her, even if that means hitting someone by accident. But she will also gladly welcome any help, since she does has very little idea about what she is doing.]

[Catching bugs was Sig's favorite pass time. But he sure wasn't expecting someone to hit him out of all the people with a bug net.]

Waahh... [He rubs the back of his head, confused, as he watches Zoe run around with the net.]

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe glances over at Sig in surprise, as if only just noticing he was there, before she looks apologetic. She really needs to be careful.]

Oh, I am so sorry! Are you all right?

[robinsegg]

[Sig gives a nod. It's rare for Sig to show interest to anything, but that was only because Zoe was holding a bug net.]

What are you trying to catch?

[papillonmagique]

[And she twirls said net in her hands, before pointing at a butterfly fluttering around.]

I was given the task to catch a blue butterfly. However, bug catching is something I know little of.

[robinsegg]

A butterfly?

[A smile spreads across Sig as he hears this. If one were to look closely, a faint blue blob with a smile might have appeared behind Sig for a moment.

He likes catching insects! He could be of help!]

I like catching bugs.

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe catches sight of that blob and it makes her blink in surprise. But she's quick to shake the surprise off at what he says.]

Is that so? Would you be able to help me, then?

[robinsegg]

[Sig gives a nod, looking more energetic than usual, although that may be hard to see to those who didn't know him as much.]

I can help. [He then thinks for a bit. Blue butterfly... Butterflies are lured to flowers, something sweet. Fortunately, they were out in the perfect area of the city where there were more nature than elsewhere! He takes out his own net to help out.]

Butterflies fly around near flowers. It's easier to catch them when they rest on flowers.

[papillonmagique]

[Blink. And then she gives him a few nods.] Oh yes, of course! I can't believe I did not think of that before...

[Zoe looks around, before pointing at a large patch of flowers nearby.] Shall we check there, first?

[robinsegg]

[He looks over at the direction she points, and gives a nod and a smile.] Looks like nice flower patch. Butterflies would like them a lot!

[As they move over, he realizes he should give some points in how to catch the butterflies as well.]

Easiest way is to stay still and wait. Grasshoppers catch butterflies like that. They wait and wait until a butterfly comes.

[To demonstrate, Sig sits down in a comfortable position and stays still, staring at the flower as he has his net in his hand, ready to move whenever. Sig takes bug-catching very, very seriously...]

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe watches him, giving a small tilt of her head, before copying him and moving to sit still. She doesn't mind that he takes it so seriously, since he is helping her out with this.]

And then when it lands on a flower, we are able to catch it?

[robinsegg]

Yes. Butterflies take a little longer to fly into the air than beetles.

[And then, as if he remembered something, Sig digs into his bag and takes out a jar of honey and opens the cap.]

Honey is stronger smell so maybe bugs would come.

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe 'Oooh's in understanding and nods a few times.]

I see, I see. Hmm, you really do know a lot about bug catching.

[robinsegg]

[Sig gives a smile in response.] Yes. I like bugs a lot. Catching bugs is my favorite pass time.

[Or that's all he did if he had all the free time, that is. Oh hey, some insects were starting to gather around the honey!]

Yeay, bugs. [For someone who apparently liked to catch bugs, his voice certainly didn't sound excited...]

[papillonmagique]

[She curiously watches as insects gather around the honey, tilting her head slightly. The lack of excitement in his voice catches her attention too.]

Hmm, yet you do not sound too enthusiastic. [And she glances away from the insects to keep an eye out for a blue butterfly.]

[robinsegg]

Enthus...? [Sig tilts his head, unable to finish pronouncing such a hard word. Was she talking about his voice?]

How I talk? [He momentarily gets distracted as he finds a lady bug to catch.] Lady bug.
