<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/6Z5ko0N.png)</div>As Valna tried her best to stumble through an explanation, she would suddenly feel a gooey hand gently clasp her shoulder, "I'll admit I'm still quite confused, but I think I understand what you're trying to say" the maid body said with a reassuring smile, "This probably goes without saying, but I don't have any experience with human relationships outside of servant and master. I only have stories and observations of couples who have stayed in me to go off of, so I'm afraid you may find me lacking...however if you are still interested despite those insufficiencies, then I would love to be<em>friends</em>" she repeated, saying "friends" in a tone that suggested she understood the implication this time.<br/><br/>"By the way.." she added, suddenly leaning in closer. While her spoon form was obviously tiny and hand sized, her maid body was actually a bit taller than Valna, completely changing the dynamic as she loomed over her, lips almost brushing against her ear as she whispered, "...you're very cute when you're flustered...<em>Valna</em>..." she cooed, planting a wet kiss on the thief's cheek.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/YMM6Uxr.jpg)</div><br/>Katra would soar into the air in a single mighty stride, her armor making her reminiscent of the very corvids the scattered scarecrows were trying so hard to fend off. From her bird's eye view she could again spot the rustling in the corn stalks, though the thick vegetation continued to obscure it's exact form. It did seem a bit smaller than she would have imagined from Jeb's explanations, but then again considering how small worms were, a "big" worm could really mean anything. Before she could ponder it any further the rustling would reach the edge of the corn row, and out would pop a...racoon? A cob of corn was clutched greedily in it's paws, and it wasted no time darting off with it's succulent prize.....<br/><br/>And then Katra would suddenly feel something wrap around her ankle! trying to yank her down into the corn from midair!<br/><br/>"Oh my. I think it's best we focus on the task at hand" S said, pointing out that Katra had run off ahead of them and seemed to be in some trouble.<br/><br/><hr/>Something inside the cornfield is trying to snag Katra and pull her into it's corny depths! What do you do?
