contentedly | [ Action, Written ]

[The first nice day after a slew of rain, and Gracia is finally able to get out and run some errands. After making a big breakfast for the family, she leaves Elicia with her papa, since there is no school on Fridays, and heads into town.

Once there, Gracia has decided it's time to update her wardrobe for spring. She'll be looking through the official Clothing Shop first, but then check the All Passions out as well. Although she does find the official Clothing Shop a bit... dusty... so she may get distracted from her shopping long enough to give it a quick clean with a feather duster. She doesn't work there, but if you mistake her as an employee, then she'll still try to help!

After her shopping, Gracia decides to stop in at the Tea Shop. It's a good day for a cup of tea. And, away from her home with the bustle of all these people from other worlds around her, with the pressure of the last underground Malnosso announcement, Gracia has a question for the general populace. Speaking into these journals is still something strange for her, so after attempting a laughable filter and then disregarding it, she simply writes.]

Out of all the worlds you've heard of here, if you could pick a new one to start over in, which world would it be?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

In this case? [She wishes it was otherwise...] You have to go by yourself.

Oh, I couldn't go and leave Rem and Knives alone on the ship! I'd miss them too much!

[...ah. Well, she's not going to try to force a hypothetical from a kid.]

Then I hope you don't have to.

[She wonders if they're here now, but isn't sure if there's a neutral way to ask.]

Why would I have to? Don't they always send people home after awhile?

I don't think you'll have to. It was just a 'what if' question.

Oh, okay. I miss Rem and Knives enough, I don't know what I'd do if I could never see them again.

[So they're not here with him...]

You must care about them very much.

Uh-huh! Knives is my brother and Rem takes care of us!

I can see why you'd miss them.

Yeah, until I came here I've never been apart from them before.

Then it sounds like you're being very brave.

Well, the first time I was here I was pretty scared. I still am... B-but there are so many nice people here! I've never had friends before! It's so nice! And I know time stands still back home so they won't miss me! I'd feel pretty bad if I was here having fun and making friends while they worried about me.

[Friends. OK, good.]

That's very considerate of you. Have you made some good friends here?

Yes! I've made so many new friends! Nicholas is even letting me live with him while I'm here!

Although... he's gotten really BIG since the last time I saw him!

Really? [Genuine amusement.] How big?

Really big! I have to look up to see his face! He's gotta be older than Joey now!

That is impressive. And are you staying with him now?

Yup! I got my own room filled with flowers and everything!

Really? What kinds of flowers?

There's lots of geranium and lots of pretty ones that I don't know what they are!

My goodness. It sounds like you enjoy flowers a lot. You must be looking forward to spring.

Yeah! I love flowers! There's lots of different kinds and they're all so pretty! I can't wait for them to start growing!

After all the rain we got this week, they should start blooming soon. Maybe you'd like to come over and go on a hunt with them with my daughter some afternoon.

Really!? Could I!? I'd love to help you and your daughter look for flowers! Is she my age? Older? Younger!?

I don't know! How old are you?
