SECOND OATH | video

[goodwilled]

[ once again a pair of mismatched eyes greet the screen. ]

Hello, everyone..I hope you're doing alright? I mean, things seem pretty okay here although I'm sure there are dangerous things -- which is what I wanted to ask about.

I'm pretty experienced in combat and I think I could be helpful if trouble does end up happening. I trained for seven years at the Knight Academy in my own world, and have continued to train since then..

[headscratch]

What I'm saying is, I'd like to do what I could to keep everyone safe. I'm not that great at cooking, and I'm not that smart but -- I try really hard. So if there's a job where I could look out for you guys, I'd be happy to take it.

Any suggestions, maybe..? I've never done this before..

FAIL FILTER FROM SOPHIE

Also I had another question -- for everyone who lives in Mallow District..have you ever tried planting flowers? I was wondering because I'd like to help someone from my family plant some and well, I'm worried they'd be..

..Pillow flowers.

TO HUBERT; FAIL FILTER BECAUSE HOW DO I TECHNOLOGY

You still around, Hubert? I just wanted to check in on you. I'd like to come visit, if you aren't too busy. You're probably having better luck than I am at finding things to do.

Asbel, why are you asking about pillow flowers?

[Because life hates Asbel and he fails at filers? Or because Sophie would obviously pipe into any post she sees him make. Asbel had not seemed quite as keen as Sophie was about flowers back home. Perhaps he is just curious.]

[goodwilled]

W-Well..that is...actually --

[ a tumble of stammering words for a moment, before defeat sets in. with a scratch to the back of his head he manages, ]

Because I wanted to see if we could find somewhere for you to plant flowers, Sophie, if you wanted to. Wouldn't you like that?

[ex_protegere334]

Oh. I would! But everything here is pillows. So maybe we can make a garden in one of the other districts?

[goodwilled]

[ u so smart soapie ]
That's a good idea. I'm sure there's enough space for it somewhere.

[ a thoughtful pause ]
Where would you like to plant some?

[ex_protegere334]

[Yes. Clearly she has the superior intelligence here between the two.]

What about...where Hubert is? If he doesn't mind us making a little garden by his place if we asked?

[goodwilled]

[ um, no. he's just scatterbrained. there's a difference. ]

I'm not sure why he'd mind. We should stay close to each other anyway, and that would be a good reason to.

..Though knowing him he'll probably see this.

[ex_protegere334]

I don't see why he would. Maybe he could even help with a garden in front of his place there.

Is is bad if he sees, Asbel? I don't see why it would, when we would ask him about the idea first anyway.

[Oh. But maybe Asbel wants it to be a surprise or something? And that was why he seemed so surprised when Sophie had seen this. Oops?]

[goodwilled]

Because Hubert is..
[ likes to mock me at my expense??]
Well, he's Hubert. But yeah, we might as well. Maybe it's something we can all do together!

[ex_protegere334]

I'd like that! We can all work together to find some seeds and plant them! That way it will be our special garden, just the three of us. And if Cheria or any of the others come they can help too!

[goodwilled]

That's right.
[ though, truthfully he doesn't want everyone to be here, lives disrupted, even if he wants to be together with everyone in their group. it's conflicting feelings. still, he smiles for her, pleased with the idea. ]

Yeah, let's just talk to Hubert about it and see what we can do.

[ex_protegere334]

Right! I can ask him over the pillow phone things and see if he wants to help us.

[Sophie understands that, but at the same time she does miss having the rest of the group with them, as grateful as she is to have Asbel and Hubert with her at Mallow Hallow.]

[goodwilled]

We can see which is the best district to plant in, I mean they're all pretty different. He probably knows more about it than both of us combined.

[ex_protegere334]

Yes! Hubert probably knows, he's pretty smart so he probably read some things researching about this place since he arrived. [So it would be hard to say that isn't a good idea. Sophie agrees with a nod. Asking Hubert seemed like the best course of option. Surely he'd know a good place even if they might not be able to make a garden at his place.]

[goodwilled]

[ hubert always was the analytical one. maybe they'd find more stuff out than just where to plant a garden. he wouldn't put it past his brother. ]

Good plan. Maybe we could grab some lunch, too. I'm pretty hungry..

[ex_protegere334]

Me too. Can we have crabelettes, Asbel? I miss crablettes.

[She is used to Cheria making them at least once a week back home okay.]

[goodwilled]

Crablettes..
[ he can't even be surprised at this point ]
Yeah, sure, Sophie! It has been a while since we've had any curry..I mean, crablettes.

[ex_protegere334]

...Crablettes, Asbel. Not curry. Maybe I can learn how to make some for you though. Since Cheria isn't here, I mean. She usually makes us food back home, making sure we get our favourites each week.
