[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

@EveLavrenti so I would imagine there are people who you their purple crocus flower to.

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

Oh, that's another very nice celebratory outfit. 😊

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

@EveLavrenti ( He's curious, but too polite.
He simply smiles. )

They are absolutely vibrant, yes. Ah — is that why you choose purple for your outfit, too? If you don't mind me saying, as a near stranger, you seem amicable and personable ... &&

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

and I can't imagine the Commander wouldn't be glad for the extra hand with a mission or two.

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

Haha, well ... I'm not the sort of person who would have good jobs for you, it seems.

But! Rather than owing me, personally ... how about the mercenary group I'm part of? That sort of work sounds like it would suit you better, &&

...haah.

[ food has to be earned. living has to be earned. corian shifts uncomfortably. ]

...alright. i - ghh. i.../owe/ you.

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

Hello! ... Has anyone maybe found a single leather glove around these parts?

I, err, lost one of mine, and I was planning to gather bramble branches today ... ( •᷄⌓•᷅ )

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

Animals —
… Well, there’s meat being brought in, so, yes. 😊 I don’t know if there’s any that needs to be done today, but you can absolutely ask.

( What task to bring up simultaneously.
He’ll be having eggs and bread today. )

[CORIAN @HuntersHearth]

[ THIS IS FUCKING COMMUNE SHIT. corian bristles slightly, before looking aside. ]

...corian. yeah, sure, i can stop by. do you have animals to slaughter. or prisoners to execute. i need meat, too.

You cannot hesitate. The only thing worse than being incompetent or being unkind or being evil is being indecisive.

A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage.

@EveLavrenti The crocus really is lovely, isn’t it? Very powerful and resilient. I’d say I like the yellow one best; it mirrors the emerging sun, I think. Do you have a favourite color, among them?

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

@EveLavrenti That sounds very helpful, thank you! I’ll be sure to read them through — though, of course, I hope I never have to use the knowledge. People in my profession would be happy if we ever were to completely be out of our job, haha.

( Would.
Should. ) &&

[quote bot @wrdgardens]

Do not worry about me. Someone has to take care of these flowers.

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

😊 Shall we head to the Aether Keeps, then? There's always a need for hands to help with gathering the eggs and picking the mushrooms and tomatoes. Eating what you've reaped yourself is quite satisfying, haha.

Oh, I'm Rhys. It's nice to meet you.

[ hearing the word "commune" makes some deeply conditioned part of him gag. ]

...i don't believe in handouts. people should earn what they eat.

[knightbot @rustedpipe]

I don't want to talk about it.

[a comforting hug @elasticheavens]

“My horse is old and nearly blind;
I will not lend it to them,”
He replied.
“Nor will I sell it,
For it would not fetch the price
Its life is worth.”

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

— ... I'm very sorry to intrude.

We commonly hand out meals by the communal sanctuary.
If that's uncomfortable for you, I can come with you to the Aether Inn, and you can have my fare for the day.

...i'm not going to have enough for groceries this week.

[/ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\ @pochaccobebi]

soon so much

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

😊 Well, I can't imagine they'll be in trouble without me, haha.

Let's see if there's some work for me, here.

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

... Hm. Everyone's probably gone back home for now, right? After all, we're past the Day of Devotion ...

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

@EveLavrenti I can't ask of you to tediously tell me what you probably have to explain to every new face you come across ...

So, instead! What is ... ... your favourite spring flower?

[please don’t ask me about bloodletting … @saivctuary]

@EveLavrenti 😊 Hello, Eve.

( He dips slightly in response, like a burnished little bird above its garden bath. )

... I'm sorry, again; I thought of a couple questions I wanted to ask, but I'm afraid they're all terribly boring or uneducated on my end. &&
