PuppiDogz - hi pinging since it's been a month . sorry millie has to deal with a grandma
The teenager was as most teenagers were. Born near the tail end of the Silent Generation, it was probably no wonder that Violet was confused by the antics of some wild, presumably Gen Z girl. What she didn't understand, however, was nothing for the older woman to be scared of. She pushed through and became the terror of people who did not understand her, after all.
If only it didn't take pulling thorns for Millie to even consider going outside. Honestly, Violet was halfway from going off about "kids these days being on their goddamn phones all the time" -- but she resisted for now the best that she could. It wouldn't do either of them any good for her to start berating poor, sweet, "cringe" Millie, especially now when they had gotten so far. So far being just a walk in the woods with Violet leading the way down the winding path.
Violet took a deep breath, feeling the warm spring air filled up her lungs, cautiously stepping over roots and fallen debris. Back then, when she was young, this was practically all she had, living on the wooded edge of Homewood. She would go out, beat frogs with sticks, swim in creeks of dubious hygiene, and narrowly avoid duking it out with diamondbacks. But, again, as implied, she was not Millie. She didn't have Five Nights at Frederick's or whatever it was called. That was an animatronic thing, right?
"..They must've gotten better since then." she commented mindlessly, "Back when Chuck E. Cheese was set up, it was all full of..."
The rat was foul. She wanted to beat the shit out of the rat.
Violet chose not to continue on that statement. Instead, she let out a sigh, and as the trees gave way to a clearing surrounding a sunlit lake, she passed another glance to Millie. "When you're not on the Internet or playing games or whatever all day, what's it that you do?"
