"Alright..though it does get kindof cold in the house, just thought you would want some blankets or something" they shiver and watch Belladonna, picking at their fingernails, "Oh uh, yes I do. They're in the garage, I can go get them if you'd like"
"If you could, that would be great! And not to worry. I'm used to the cold." She says rather cheerfully as she grabs a cloth from her pocket and wipes her hand off. She hummed softly as she adjusts the door back into its frame. She just needed to fix a few things and then it would be fine…
Orion nods and goes back down the front steps, walking towards the garage and opening the side door. They grab their phone out of their pocket, turning on its flashlight and rummaging around for the toolbag. Eventually they come back out carrying it, going over to Belladonna and setting it down, "There you go.."
Belladonna was waiting quietly for the other to come back out, a warm smile on her lips when they did, "Thank you much." She says fondly. She takes the tools and hopped to work on repairing the door. It did only take her about 15 minutes and when she was done she locked the door, cleaned up the tools and then settled onto the couch.
Orion smiles and nods, going into the kitchen for a bit after the door was fixed. They pop their head out and look into the living room at Belladonna, "would you like anything to drink? There's soda, coffee, water .." they watch her for a bit
She startles a little bit when Orion came back in. "Oh! Water sounds good please!" She calls cheerfully, her eyes bright and happy as she stood up and dusts her hands off. "And possibly a rag so I can clean up the goop. I think most of it has dried up and is easy to remove." She hummed and leaned against the sofa for a minute.
"Alright!" They smile and go back into the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge, and a small relatively clean kitchen towel. They go into the living room again and give Belladonna the water bottle and kitchen towel. "There ya go!"
She takes the water gratefully, chugging it down before sighing in satisfaction. "Thank you. You can rest if you need. I'll just be cleaning." She chuckles softly. Of course, if Orion went to bed now, they would never see Belladonna again. She would be gone by morning, out to accept her new assignment.
"Eh..'m not really tired" they smile a little and watch her for a bit, before going and sitting next to her on the couch. "Hm..how long have you been doing..your..job I suppose I would call it?" They tilt their head and watch Belladonna
She nods and hummed as she leaned against the couch. "I'm not sure… Since I was young. My parents were part of the Order of the Wisteria. I was practically raised in the monster slaying business." She shrugged and sighed deeply. "Of course I wasn't raised with a sword in my hand. They tried to give me a normal life…" She paused, her eyes shutting as she thought back.
"Huh..interesting.." They respond and look down at their hands, thinking to themselves for a bit and biting their lip. Maybe they could just, very discretely work their way up to asking if they could join 'The Order of the Wisteria'. It would be the ultimate way to pay Belladonna back for what she did for them-
Belladonna nods. "Yeah. I don't think I really started training until I was 9… It was after mom's accident if I remember correctly." She hummed and stretched a little bit. "It's a pretty crazy life. You don't even exist in the eyes of the government." She chuckles, "Which is why I need you to forget me when I leave, okay?"
"Mm.." They blink and glance up at Belladonna for a second before looking away again. "What if I, like, joined you? It would be a good way to repay you for literally saving my life-" they blurt out without not really thinking about a better way to ask
She paused and glanced at Orion and sighed heavily. "It's… not all fun and games." She says quietly. "You can die and it's dangerous. Granted you have spunk in you. But… It's dangerous. Are you sure that you want to do this?" She glances at Orion. "You will never have a normal life the moment your step through the doors of the Order of the Wisteria." She pats the others hand.
They nod and refrain from laughing because of the pats. "I'm sure. I want to repay you and it's not like my life is really go ing anywhere anyways, I just want to spend my life helping people" They look at Belladonna for a few seconds
She sighed deeply before nodding and smiling softly. "Alright… if you say so. I can take you in the morning…." She sighed deeply. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asks quietly, dead serious. "This… isn't the easiest life. But if you want to you're more than welcome to train." She chuckles and leans back, assessing the other.
"I'm absolutely sure" they nod again and watch Belladonna, "If I wasn't I wouldn't have asked" they add, watching her face to see her expression for a bit. They were somewhat relieved that the conversation went smoother than they thought might
She nods slowly. "Alright then. We'll go in the morning. Pack only the essentials." She murmured quietly. "You'll go through orientation and training for a few weeks. Most of the time it's you learn on the job." She shrugged. "And then you get your weapon." Belladonna stretches. "Any questions?"
They nod along with what Belladonna says, before tilting their head at the question and blinking. "..No I don't think so" they respond. They were mostly surprised this even worked, they were kindof expecting Belladonna to turn them down immediately
She nods a little bit before humming. "Well then. You should probably get some sleep then. I can give you tips when we leave in the morning. Remember. Pack only what you need. No more than a suitcase and a backpack." She says simply. "You'll be on the road a lot."
"Alright, makes sense that I wouldn't want to pack much-" They hum and watch Belladonna for a bit, before looking away again and thinking to themselves; what the hell am I getting myself into? Should I have thought this through more? Probably, but it's too late now-
She glances at the other and smiles softly. "Hey, you don't have to if you don't want to." She says quietly. "Give it some thought tonight. Make sure to breathe and relax, okay? Think it through and I'll check on you in the morning." She stood and stretched. Belladonna didn't really have a choice, but she could easily offer it to others.
"Alright.." Orion looks up at Belladonna, watching her for a bit before standing up as well. "I'll make sure to think it through" they smile in response and put their hands in their pockets for a bit, shifting their weight from foot to foot for a bit
She nods and watches them carefully before nodding and nudging them gently. "Alright. Sleep well and take care of yourself, okay?" She says kindly, settling back onto the couch and slowly settled her head down for some sleep.
"Ok" they smile and watch her for a few seconds before walking towards the stairs and up to their room, opening the door and just looking around. Only like, one or two hours ago they were cowering under their bed hiding from that beast. They purse their lips and walk into the room, sitting on their bed. They don't want something like that to happen to anyone else..they were definitely going with Belladonna tomorrow, definitely.
