[ The SFC turns on, though Sophie isn't paying it much mind. Rather she's watching her not-dad Asbel as she speaks. ]

I want to be stronger, so I can protect my friends. That way no one will get hurt. No one will have to worry.

[ This declaration made, Sophie sets the SFC on a nearby rock, where it is able to focus on her - where a bandage has been wrapped around her chest. Sophie turns away, not paying it any further mind. Instead, she is focused entirely on a tree in front of her, which... for some reason... has several pillows tied around the trunk. These poor innocent pillows are currently getting punched by Sophie, the force of the blow still enough to rain leaves down to the ground, shuddering from the impact of her punches. ]

[ Asbel can be seen nearby, looking immensely proud of his handiwork of making the tree Sophie-Safe.]

You're doing great Sophie! Remember to stop if you get tired or if your chest starts to hurt. You don't have to push yourself.

[ Sophie, pleased by the praise, nods at Asbel before turning her attention back to her training. After one particularly vicious punch to the tree, Sophie pulls a fist back and sends it forward again, this time with a 'pfrtht' from the pillow as it explodes. Feathers. Everywhere. One feather in particular drifts down to land on her nose, as Sophie looks at Asbel. ]

... I broke the pillow.

[ She just sounds so apologetic too! But before she can actually apologize ... -CRACK-. Sophie looks over her shoulder as the tree slowly tilts little by little, until it keels over and falls to the ground. ]

.... And the tree.

[ OOC: Blue naturally, is Asbel and Sophie is Sophie. :3 ]

Sophie! You should be resting! Asbel, what were you thinking?! Sophie still needs to take it easy!

[Cheria was watching?!]

Uh, Cheria! Well I used pillows so she wouldn't get hurt.

[Because that makes it okay, right?

P.S We need new pillows in the house.]

[ Yes, you's in trouble, boy. ]

She still shouldn't be moving around so much! You do realize what kind of injury she has, right?

[ But she's totally okay now! She's not as squishy as you *airy sniff* mortals.*/airy sniff* ... ahem. ]

I'm okay Cheria. I have to keep training, so I can get stronger.

[ Also I'm sorry I broke the pillow, please don't be mad :( ]

[ and though she is aware of this, Sophie is still important to her and she is still gonna be the biggest mother hen ever. ]

Sophie, I know you probably do feel all right, and I know that you want to keep making yourself stronger. I understand that. But you were hurt pretty badly only a couple of weeks ago ... you really should rest a little longer, at least.

[ And that's what makes CHeria such a great not-mom. ]

I'll rest when I~~'m dead~~ go back home with Asbel. Is that okay?

You two look pretty finished now. Are you coming home?

[Asbel can be seen in the background, collecting the remains of the pillows.]

Hey, Cheria. Do we have any spare pillows at the house?

[Because your daughter killed these.]

[ A pause as she watches Asbel collect pillows. ]

Yes, we're going to come home soon.

video; But CHILD. :| And HUSBAND.

[ Wow. Holy shit, that's strong. Blinking a few times, he finally responds. ]

We can fix the pillow. Make it stronger. Faster. More effective at being punched.

... the tree, not so much.

[ Ohai Yuri~! Sophie pauses from what she's doing to tilt her head curiously. ]

How can we fix it? [ Lament the loss of the poor tree, cut down in its--well, punched down in its prime! ]

First, we need to sow up the holes and put back all its feathers.

And then... stick it in chain mail and leather. That makes it more durable.

Finally... we need to make a design on it so that it's intimidating.

[ Yuri, how DO you manage to say this all with a straight face... ]

... [ Yuri, she's going to try to sew up the pillow before putting the feathers back you realize. :D ]

Really? [ Oh no - No Sophie, no. Don't believe him D: BUT HE'S SAYING IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE. ]

... but I don't have any chain mail or leather - or money. [ Clearly she has to get a job. ]

What kind of a face is intimidating?

We can get some. I know a couple places that might have it. And angry faces are intimidating, right?

[ STOP YURI STOP ohgod this is horrible and Yuri's laughing on the inside good job bro. ]

Of course, this is just to protect the pillow as well, too...

Okay. But I have to ask permission. [ Seeing as Asbel and Cheria want her to rest more - though she didn't feel she needed it. ]

Angry faces are intimidating? [ Well, if you say so! She's never been intimidated, so she can't say for sure - but Yuri must know right? ]

What is it to protect the pillow from? [ Her? Gosh! ]

Sure. I don't mind.

[ Because he's gonna probably sneak some over if they say no anyway. Like a bawss. ]

I'd say so. Or faces of people when they go completely nuts.

[ Hello Zagi. Yuri pauses, before answering Sophie's next question. ]

Let me ask you this, has a pillow actually attacked you before? Someone using a pillow as a weapon doesn't count.
