Jade Tsum in Jade's room

Floyd
Floyd
|
Ahahaha! It's a total splitting image of ya! This is the Tsum that Jade found?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Why, yes. Azul and I encountered it yesterday night.
...Speaking of which, thank you for assisting with checking on the status of the dorm for us, Floyd.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
It's no biggie. Was a disappointment for me, though.
'Cuz I was totally expecting someone's room to be busted beyond hope or something since ya mentioned "abnormal circumstances" and all.
|
Jade
Jade
|
What a Floyd-like response that is. Now, Tsum, shall we get going?
|
Jade Tsum happily agrees
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
This early in the mornin'? So you're going up the mountains?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Why, we are just going to have a stroll on campus. I was thinking of taking the opportunity to strengthen my friendship with the dear Tsum while showing it around the campus facilities.
I am planning to enlist its help in the Mostro Lounge up until the Tsums are required to return, you see...
And when it comes to a colleague you work with, being on good terms with them is second to none.
|
Jade Tsum bounces
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Hmmm. I'mma go back to sleep then.
|
Floyd leaves
|
Jade
Jade
|
Now then... Tsum. Once again, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
|
Jade Tsum becomes happy
|
|
Jade
Jade
|
We have arrived at our destination. What are your thoughts, Tsum?
|
Jade Tsum bounces happily.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Hehe, I'm glad that it is up to your liking. That is of utmost importance.
I'd thought that you would be attracted to sceneries reminiscent of the mountains like I am... After all, you do resemble me, Tsum.
In addition... I would love for you to have a look at this.
|
Jade Tsum looks up.
|
Jade
Jade
|
These are the mushrooms that I am growing in the botanical garden here.
What do you think? With such magnificent sizes and cap shapes, they look quite delectable, don't you agree?
I endured many a hardship in order to raise them to such an exceptional size and beauty. There was the selection of logs, the pest control, the humidity regulation, and so much more...
Oh, right. Why don't you try one for yourself, Tsum? As a token of our budding friendship, I can even prepare a simple dish with...
|
Jade Tsum takes a sniff.
...Squash!
|
Jade
Jade
|
Hah?
...Dear little Tsum, pray tell, what are you doing?
|
Jade Tsum looks up.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I worked so hard to raise them to the exquisite state they are in and now they're all squashed! Ahh, such poor things...
|
???
|
...You sure are noisy while there's someone sleeping right here.
|
Jade
Jade
|
...Oh my, that voice is...
|
Leona
Leona
|
Ah? Oh, if it isn't Azul's Henchman 1.
And here I was beginning to wonder if a lost parakeet wandered in from somewhere 'cause of all yer grumbling.
|
Jade
Jade
|
So you were here as well, Leona. Please forgive me for the racket I'd caused.
But I must ask, why nap in this corner of the botanical gardens? I thought that you would prefer an area that gets plenty of sunlight instead.
|
Leona
Leona
|
'Cause the dorm guys are lookin' for me and I don't wanna get roped into troublesome stuff.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I see, so that is why you picked a different location from usual...
|
Leona
Leona
|
Exactly. And I'm taking a nap while killing some time. Take that armadillo with you and scram already.
|
Jade Tsum looks up at Leona.
|
Jade
Jade
|
By armadillo... You mean the Tsum, correct? I certainly can't deny that there is some resemblance between the two.
But that aside, please rest assured, for we do not intend to bother you in any way, Leona.
...Isn't that right, Tsum?
|
Jade Tsum jumps onto Leona's shoulders.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Oh my, my, climbing onto Leona's shoulders... You truly are a sensible little Tsum, aren't you?
|
Leona
Leona
|
Oi... What are you doing? I'm pretty sure I told you two to get lost.
|
Jade
Jade
|
We are well aware, yes. We will be sure to leave as soon as the Tsum is done with its little massage.
|
Crrck, crrack
|
Leona
Leona
|
A massage, you say?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Correct. It is to allow you to have a restful slumber since you mentioned that you will be taking a nap afterwards.
|
Leona
Leona
|
Tch...! Don't kick up a racket like you did just now.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Fret not, for the dear Tsum is quite the discerning fellow. In addition...
The way its kneading technique effectively relieves you of your tension. Its execution is so stellar, highly-praised in Octavinelle even, that no one would believe it was all the work of a Tsum.
|
Leona
Leona
|
……
|
Jade
Jade
|
...Have a good night, Leona.
|
Rustle...
|
Jade
Jade
|
Going as far as to spread a sheet over Leona... Rather than admirable, I dare say you are truly a dependable Tsum.
|
Jade Tsum bounces away from Leona.
|
Jade
Jade
|
...Could that be the protective tarp used for gardening? I find that using it as a blanket is rather...
Nevermind that. More importantly, to think that you would be so bold as to approach that Leona without a sliver of hesitation...
Accomplishing such a feat is not as easy as it seems.
Could your endearing form be useful in lowering one's guard, I wonder?
Oh Tsum... You are quite the daunting person... No, creature, aren't you?
