✿ Eleventh Bud [Action/Voice late morning]

[seiriald]

[Things hadn't been easy the past few weeks; there had been ups and downs, much more of the latter than she would ever admit to. And as far as she could tell, it would not get better any time soon. At the very least, the weather was beginning to change even if she couldn't see it for herself. There was just something about the air of spring approaching that always managed to lift her spirits a little, and what better way to greet it than to start working on that neglected garden outside of House 11? Who cares how cold it is out, the plants are of higher priority.

It isn't until after an hour or so of working that her journal falls off her person and sprawls open in the dirt, making her frown upon hearing the familiar noise of it being activated. Taking to people probably wasn't a good idea right now, but she can try.]

… What are your favorite things about spring? Or… things you like the least about it I guess. Anything really.

[Later in the evening the residents of the large household might notice that she's managed to make her way to Silver's room instead of her own, though if anyone drops by the reason should be pretty obvious. You don't go through weeks of emotional whiplash and a day out in the cold dressed improperly without coming out unscathed.]

... So Sneasel should go with you now then. [Because no one should have to go the night without having someone or something to cuddle with.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Looking at Sneasel. What do you think, Sneasel? ...Well, if you say so...]

He wants to stay with you. [Because he's a mom and is fussing and will continue to fuss. Silver knows his fuzzy bromom very well.]

[voice]

[seiriald]

[Well when Kaori met him he was a very polite nobleman! ... And that impression stuck somehow!]

Hmm, that's true... So what does the 'fondness' usually involve for you? [Is it stuff like pushing people into mud? She knows someone who shows fondness that way.]

[seiriald]

... You mean it? [Why are you two so nice and such bros, is this repayment for not being a fussing and hovering thing when Silver was sick?]

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Hm? Well, that's just what people are supposed to do, aren't they? Helping others, I mean. It's how we can all keep each other happy.

[voice]

[subsultive]

[Even after he proved he wasn't?]

Um... Making me cry and such...

[WORST BEST FRIENDS EVER.]

[chibifalenas]

Yes. The people who may not be trained to fight but actually keep the kingdom working. They're really the most important people in the nation.

[She sighs and looks down, not really understanding the rage or anything]

[voice - private]

[imatreenow]

[He catches that subtle inflection and carefully tries to tuck it into his brain. It sticks out as something significant.]

She's...been sick for a while now. But I've been taking care of her, and she's starting to get better. She's well enough to get up and walk around the house now. [and he hovers around her like the over-protective brother he is, constantly fretting about if she needs food or medicine or blankets.]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

How else do you expect to find something to fit?

[action]

[falenandawn]

She just is. [Nope. Not at aaaaallll.]

Anyway... how long have you been out here?

[tsuntrader]

Why wouldn't I? [Sure, let's go with that. It's definitely not because they're just nice or bros or whatever, and that sounds good.]

[action]

[seiriald]

[She'll let this slide, for now given that today probably wasn't a good day to do that – she had been feeling a little faint this morning, after all.]

Since... I think it was after you left this morning. What hour is it?

[seiriald]

You think so? Why do you say that? [Hearing that helps to ease the anger a little, but that word had always had negative connotations in the world she had been born in.]

[action]

[falenandawn]

....It is past noon. [Kaori it is far too cold out to be gardening this long.]

Have you had lunch? [there is concern in his tone as he says this.]

[voice]

[seiriald]

Trying on random things until I find something that does fit? It usually works!

[action]

[seiriald]

[Nonsense, it's not too cold when the health of the earth and the plants relying on it is involved. Why that concerned tone anyway?]

Um... no? I don't remember eating today?

Re: [action]

[falenandawn]

.....Come have lunch with me?

[And get out of the cold?]

[chibifalenas]

As the Queen my job is to do what I can to make them have as safe and happy a life as possible. Yes, the laws come from the Queen, but the goal of the laws is so they can be as safe and happy as possible. Really, they make the food, the buildings, are the people in the army. They are the ones who make the kingdom alive. I just sit in a fancy chair and work my hardest for them.

[voice]

[generalflirt]

...You're serious.

[Voice]

[seiriald]

... People say they're supposed to, but it doesn't really happen. [And she has to keep herself from laughing bitterly, since the influence from home was still too strong.]

[seiriald]

But is it okay to call them by such a disgusting term, Lymsleia? If they're people you respect, why call them that? There has to be a better word for those people.

[voice]

[seiriald]

[Impressionable child is impressionable.]

... They make you cry? [LUCA THAT IS NOT COOL.]

[voice - private]

[seiriald]

Sick...? [As someone who got sick all too often back home, she can only imagine Martel's frustration over having to be confined to a bedroom for such a long time.]

I hope she does keep getting better soon, wouldn't she like to see the beginnings of spring?

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

I see... you must've had experience of that back home, haven't you? A lot of people are from worlds were people aren't kind to one another. I hope Luceti's been better?

[seiriald]

Because sometimes people are jerks for no reason other than they can be. [She doesn't even have to think about stopping herself from using the general term of 'Humans,' it's becoming easier to keep herself from generalizing these days.]
