( after leaving the library, Toji doesn't see the little girl or speak to her again but he sends her little snapshots of interesting things he encounters during his gallivanting. strange rock formations, clouds in a blue blue sky, odd looking things big and small. his favourite by far is a raven-like bird with black shiny eyes and a beautiful coat that's been following him through the swamps and dropping little pebbles and sticks on his head. there's never any text, just the images. )
[ Usually Alluka or Nanika reply with emojis, all happy and friendly and glad to receive the pictures. She saves them all in their own little folder, From Toji. The raven makes her curious. Nanika replies to one of those ones. ]
I tried to talk to it but it doesn't answer. It just keeps dropping twigs and pebbles on me. My hair isn't so bad that it'd be mistaken for a nest, is it?
Thank you. It required asking for help. That's hard for us.
[ Asking for things when the answer can be no is scary. People can refuse Nanika's requests, but that's not a good idea. Not that she's made any in the whole long time she's been here. Even though she knows so many people's names. She's doing what Killua asked. ]
[ Confirmation! Another friend for Nanika! She made this one all on her own! Mentally she kisses the sleeping Alluka on the forehead. Alluka always sleeps when she's awake. ]
I'm glad it's not just me. I hope people ask me for help. When they need it. I'm happy to help. Me too. We have a pin now. Get out of trial free.

Does it talk?

[ Nanika giggles at the idea of Toji's hair being mistaken for a nest. It's so cute! ]
Maybe it's courting you. It thinks you're a bird.
no subject
( Toji tells the bird about the courting theory and they both exchange a look. )
Are you well?
no subject
[ It's silly but fun to say. Typing isn't so hard. In fact, it's easier to get words out. ]
I am! Alluka did the trial, and she was very good. She was nice to me.
no subject
Are you trying to get rid of me? 🥲
Your friend was on trial?
no subject
No. No no no no no! Bird wife can't get you out of friendship.
In a trial. Thirteen's trial! A personal trial.
no subject
( what other choice does he have? it's not as if Toji knows that much about how friendships work. )
Oh, those trials, right.
Well done, well done.
Congratulations.
Was it hard?

Not just you, trust me.
Having to ask for help or anything for that matter isn't a good feeling.
I'm glad you've done so well on the trial.

I'm happy to help.
Me too. We have a pin now. Get out of trial free.

Don't let people take advantage, though.
👏👏👏👏
You'll have to show me next time we see each other.
no subject
Zechs would get mad if people took advantage.
Go grrrrrrr.
I will!
It's pretty.
IDK if you could get one.
Maybe?
no subject
Little girls shouldn't have to do favours all the time.
Should I try to get one next time, you think?
no subject
Trial rewards change every time! It might never come again.
no subject
I'm more used to trading favours but you're right.
Oh, that's a shame.
no subject
They don't have to.
Something else cool will come!
no subject
Did you manage to deliver your apology cake?
no subject
I did! It went great. I have a room there now.
no subject
To both the cake and the room.
That's a really nice gesture.
no subject
I feel so loved.
I didn't even ask for the room!
