Voicetest Request!

[dragonheartedgirl]

HI! Please help me voicetest Yona here. Need a starter? I'VE GOTCHA SOME. Please feel free to assume any role in any of these scenarios / to AU non-castmates in OR if you're not canon familiar feel free to offer/suggest something else completely (AUs and tfln and anything in between a-okay too, I just wanted to try original flavor first to get my best feel for her). Action/not, gen or shippy stuff, it's all good.

1. You come back from an evening hunt to find the camp is under siege. There are bandits everywhere, going through the tents, ripping through everyone's belongings. What will you do?

2. You've arrived at a port town in the midst of some kind of celebration. The smells of delicious cooking food make your stomach rumble and the sound of live instruments and laughter is interspersed with fireworks going off. You technically have a goal beyond this town, but... would it be so bad to take a break and play?

3. You find yourself alone with Yona, having been cut off from the rest of the group after making a harrowing escape from enemies. You're too tired (and perhaps too injured) to try to go find the rest of your traveling companions, and it's getting dark out anyway. You should probably go ahead and try to find a place to hide and hunker down for the rest of the night...

[Yona shouldn’t feel too bad, really. Having his eyes means he’s extra observant, even about small things. And he wasn’t insulted by her seeming sad. Just concerned. It makes sense to be sad when you lose someone important.

He considers her words, though, and inclines his head.]

It’s...a double edged sword.

[She’s gained a lot, but she’s also lost a lot. It makes some sense to him.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ A double-edged sword? ]

Maybe something like that. But you know, the person that I was before couldn't hold a sword at all. Now I have the power to defend myself, at least some. I would take a life with scars over the alternative any day.

[bluemoonlight]

[shhhh, it makes sense to him.

Anyway, he listens to her words, tilting his head thoughtfully. He can see her point and understand. But now the question is how does one communicate both support and comfort.

Clearly the answer is to take Ao (who is now finished chowing down on leftover soup) and place her on Yona’s shoulder, tucking the little squirrel against her neck.

This is a good way to express friendship right? Yes, good. Nailed it.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ I mean, there are few ailments that a soft, fuzzy animal can't cure. Plus, she knows just how much Ao means to Shin-Ah; she was his companion for many lonely years, after all. She reaches up to pet Ao's head as the squirrel snuggles in closer on her neck. ]

When you're finished, do you want to try some more food? I think there must be roasted corn around here somewhere. I bet Ao would like that, too.

[ Not that Ao seems to dislike much. ]

[bluemoonlight]

[As soon as the words are out of her mouth he nods. Heck yeah, roasted corn sound delicious. He looks around, scanning the crowd for a moment before he spots a promising looking vendor.]

There.

[He points. It's a ways away, and she might not be able to see it at first, but with his eyes he was able to spot a stall that seems to be selling some corn.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

Really?

[ of course, Yona can't see the booth, even when she goes on her tiptoes. Then again, it IS crowded, and she doesn't have eyes like Shin-Ah does. ]

Well if you say it's there, I'm sure it is. Shall we go get some?

[bluemoonlight]

[Okay, looks like it's his turn to lead the way. He can do this. He carefully takes her hand and leads her through the crowd toward the booth with the corn.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Yona follows his lead, keeping her free hand held up to Ao so that even as the thick crowds jostle him, the tiny animal won't be knocked from his place on her shoulder. Not that it's very bad, all considered: Shin-Ah's wider frame creates a path in which she has a little more room so long as she keeps up with him. It's not hard to do so, and before too long they've made it to the stall with roasted corn. ]

Thank you, Shin-Ah.

[ Although she was sheltered from the worst of the crowd, she could see (and feel, to some degree) that he was constantly being bumped into and shouldered as he made his way through the crowd. ]

[bluemoonlight]

[He inclines his head at the thank you. He's not really used to having to deal with crowds of people, but he didn't really mind. He's glad to be able to help.

When the vendor offers them the corn he takes one and gives it to Yona before taking another for himself.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ While Shin-Ah receives their food, Yona is busy paying the woman behind the stall. She then turns to accept her half of the ear of corn. At this point, she's starting to get full, but she's fairly certain that if she can't finish the food then with Ao or Shin-Ah will help her finish it off. ]

How is it?

[bluemoonlight]

[He nods enthusiastically as he chews a mouthful of corn. He likes!

...Not that he is the pickiest of eaters, but still.

It's delicious, ok.

Ao likes it too.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Pickiness is definitely over-rated. She can't help but laugh. ] That seems like a pretty strong endorsement!
