He doesn't exactly understand completely, but, nods along
`` makes sense enough. heh. guess that explains why you're so comforting to be around! ``
thinking a second before continuing
`` and why you're kind. despite everything going on around here. ``
โ
โ my dreams are โฆอ complicated . like a puzzle without pieces .
I see things others don't . feel things too deeply . It's why I often drift off . โ
โจ he glances at him , still speaking softly . โฉ
โ
โ
โ No ... that's actually โฆอ interesting
question . while I can assist others,
I do need rest myself. my own dreams
are... different from those I guide. โ
โ
`` ... I've always wondered. Since you can help manage others dreams. Can you manage your own?
I know it sounds silly, but it's just something that's made me wonder. ``
โ
โ โฆอ It seems you've had a restless night , && I hope you're able to find some comfort soon.
Lately , Iโve been taking โฆอ longer naps to cope with managing everyone's dreams . โ

Its past 3am. But is he sleeping?
No. Obviously not-
He's been busy at work on a slew of backlog dessert orders piling up to a week and a half worth. Doing it solo as he didn't want to inconvenience Cosmo.
But- he's exhausted. Trying to keep himself awake.
Someone stop him-
`` figured I'd do some of that "branching out" you'd been telling me about in the elevators during runs. ``
A shrug, ever so coy.
`` I found doing these models brings a nice ease of mind. ``
แ
... you see, this ...
( Brusha poked the model rocket gently, making sure it didn't break apart from her touch )
Is what I like to see.
( Brusha said, looking up at Sprout with a smile )
`` if you insist. ``
Strolling behind the counter of one of the isles he opened the doors and lifted out a model rocket ship made from popsicle sticks
`` I've taken up little model projects as a pass time. Something simple to do when it's quiet and no one else is around. ``
...
Im not that inattentive, Sprout.
I actually listen sometimes you know. And if you have a new hobby that isnt .. what you were made to do.
I wanna hear it.
`` None that are particularly interesting to explain.
The babble is technical and I don't really think it'd be worth both our time if I explained and you immediately stopped listening. ``
He put something off for a day. Now its almost a year later.
But, he's finally done it.
He's mixed a Poppy Pop with another Poppy Pop.
Finally.
Double Poppy Pop.
Tossing his scarf tail over his shoulder. It's been sometime since he's swapped his scarves
A return to form perhaps? No. It's just funny to have a scarf that's so long it trails slightly.
`` Back into the thick of it we go. ``
Flipping the dining area sign from CLOSED to OPEN.
' if you wish to. i don't care each way. '
instead of wearing short sleeved clothing to better cool off after being in that oven of a kitchen, he /instead/ puts on his heavy /wool coat/ and hat.
