Over about 20 minutes or so, Tiss and I assist Jiji in building her nest. We carried over the sticks and handed them to her in turn as she carefully placed and secured each stick to create a sturdy structure.
[Tiss] "This is kind of fun. Strange to be doing in such a dangerous labyrinth, but... I'm having a lot of fun."
[Wade?] "When we get out of here, I think I'll raise some chickens."
[Tiss] "When we're out of here, I'll help you raise those chickens."
[Wade?] "Promise?"
[Tiss] "Promise."
I share a look with Tiss. It's one of happiness, satisfaction, and hope. I regret looking at her with such lecherous eyes before. Because right now, I feel like I get to see something unique. There's a brightness whenever Tiss smiles from the heart. She enjoys simple acts like helping to build a nest or the thought of raising chickens. She's a noble woman, so I don't know if she often gets to enjoy simpler pleasures. That must be why she was so excited for her trip to the lake.
