"O-otherworldly phenomena?" The poor boy's little head was spinning along with the spirals in his eyes; steam might leave his mouth with his mutters, settling instead for fogging in the cold mountain air. "Gosh, miss Yu, that sounds real important. I'm still learnin' about the worldly ones, ehe." He knocked the side of his head before remembering the searing heat he was directed to keep up with. You can't lose focus while cooking! Aa! "Uhm, that is to say, that's really neat. Thanks for your work on our parts, miss Yu. Is Blue Pegasus able to help you much with all of that? That's nice. Especially with you bein' the Guildmaster's friend and all."
He grinned over at her, managing the spatula into his eggs with both hands to dutifully follow instructions along while they spoke. He was good at that, particularly. Give him a job and it'd get done no matter the sweat that gleans on his tiny shoulders. Push, scramble! Uwa! "Master Alisa seems wonderful. I haven't gotten to meet her yet, m'self, but, uhm -- she was a big inspiration for me joining. I grew up in Hargeon, so Blue Pegasus is all I've ever known. I got to see you guys help the world my whole life. ... That's all'I wanna do, too."
Still the tone dipped, just enough for Briar to get a glance at the burden Fei Yu carried. He mulled that over, in a way only a younger spirit could, and chewed the inside of his cheek until his smile came back to meet her softer one. "That seems like a lot, too, miss Yu. Director is a real important role, and Arbiter seems even more out'ta my wheel house, but, uhm --," he turned the pan, then stepped back, staring down at his hands, before pulling one back and offering a ... thumbs up? "I think you're good like this, too. You're nice. I won't give you any big problems to solve right now, so maybe I could just give you a night to relax in? I'd appreciate the small kindness to you."
His smile grew cheekier, lightning to the points in his eyes, and he returned to relatively impassioned cooking. It wasn't going spectacularly, with scorching on certain sides of the eggs, but he made due with his inexperience and the lessons Yu imparted. He was listening close, adjusting on every new bit of information, and adapted well to the new task. He would just do even better, next time!
"Stasis, really? Now that's useful! Golly, these Guildmasters are otherworldly too, huh?" He meant that with the purest praise - pride, even, for the names the Good guilds held - and couldn't resist this time from clapping his hands. "I could use some of that for my garden, ehe. But ... uhm ... even flowers are meant to wilt. Maybe it's better this way." He rubs the back of his head, packing up to travel along with her to the mountain face. "That just means we have a time limit, too! Let's get up there before we dry up, Miss Yu! Ehe." The environment intoxicated every giggle, warming with very little effort to the Fairy. Something about children and the fae, was it?
"I'll do my best to keep up! Uhm ... uhm ... oh, golly." He sputtered, his expression reflecting his nervous joy and the playful way he cringed as he scampered up after her. His tongue slipped between his own teeth, caught in the middle in a way that far more called himself out than her. "Here! We! Go!" It was one effort to keep his pan up and secured, even in statis, but it was another to trail along on these thin, wobbly legs. Ah - and yet - he perserveres. Pants from his nose and from around that blepped tongue, using anything he's ever known about mountainous plants to support himself in cracks and ledges that looked either the most malleable or sturdy.
"D-don't worry, miss Yu!" He said, worried. "If somethin' happens, I'll catch us both! ... Ehhhe."
