SUMMARY: the sun's back, come say hi AKA sunrise mingle/catch-all

SUN SALUTATION

[ Thanks to everyone's hard work and following Rick's, er...enthusiastic performance, the stars are back in the sky after four long months. Goblins and humans are out of their homes, cheering in the streets despite the cold that still grips the city. It's winter, the night will be long yet, but hope feels real now.

Bars and pubs will be open and raucous until dawn; people have tracked out whatever leftover supplies remained from the festival of illumination and strung up lights by their open windows. The atmosphere is certainly lively, but how long will it last?

The sun breaks in the west at around half past seven. Might want to get a good spot to watch. ]

So it has to be distributed evenly...

[Learning something new everyday!! She's careful to spread the soil evenly over the seed, and she does the same for the next few seeds, meticulously doing what he's instructed so far. Julius will find nothing wrong on this task at least.]

There, I believe that should do it.

[viscontree]

Good, next we'll have to water them. Like humans plants need a sufficient amount of sunlight and water to grow.

I have some measurements written on this sheet of paper. Use it.

[He hands her a tiny cheat sheet...with detailed planting instructions. It's extremely thorough man.]

[1300yen]

[Taking the tiny cheat sheet gratefully... But !!! wow this is a lot of information, she's impressed tbh. She follows the measurements exactly as written as she waters the seeds.]

Your knowledge regarding plants and the like is very impressive! How did you learn all of this?

[viscontree]

My world lacks food and vegetation. Managing agriculture was one of my duties.

Back then I only thought of gardening as a mission. My views on the matter are still the same.

[At least Alisha's got the hang of gardening already. She can make lots of pretty flowers bloom.]

[1300yen]

So it is a knowledge based out of necessity. [She nods, understanding that. Hyland isn't in that bad of a state thankfully, but resources can be hard to come by!!] You have no personal interest in it then?

[viscontree]

You're interested in my personal feelings? [Well, that's a new one. No one's really cared before. Julius isn't exactly used to people speaking this way to him. He's used to being treated coldly or being downright ignored.]

I enjoy relaxing in gardens. A place with nature can easily be the best place. How about yourself?

[1300yen]

[She looks at him a little inquisitively at first. Of course she's interested in his personal feelings!! Why wouldn't she be? (Although lbr she knows all too well what it's like to be treated coldly and ignored.)]

I've no particular favorite, but I enjoy any area where nature is lush and vibrant. It is a good sign that life is thriving.

[viscontree]

Indeed.

I want to work and preserve the nature in Chantes. Have you visited the memorial?

[It's loaded with flowers, but Julius can't go anymore.]

[1300yen]

[nodding] The flowers are lovely there. I can only hope that after our work here, the people will choose to preserve Chantes as well.

[viscontree]

Even after we leave the populace of Chantes must work together in order to maintain the peace that we worked to restore.

[It's not going to be on them after this tbh.]

[1300yen]

Do you think that they will? [She worries tbh... With tensions as they are now, can they really resolve them to the point where everyone could work together?]

[viscontree]

They're under obligation to. Without compromise between both nations they'll never be able to move on.

[That's life for you.]

[1300yen]

Compromise between nations often seems to be the most difficult part. [Thanks for nothing, Hyland and Rolance!!]

[viscontree]

It's not something we should readily involve ourselves in.

If it were up to me I'd observe their behaviors before taking more action. Having information on both sides is the most important thing.

[1300yen]

A neutral third party can be very beneficial. [It's how she sees Sorey, in a way. The Shepherd's duty was to the people first, regardless of what their nationality was.] But you're right. We don't necessarily have the time for that.
