Then, my dear friend, let us learn many new tricks together.
[ this clearly makes him very happy. the tailwagging also makes him happy, but mostly because he's never seen it before and it's charming. cute! ]
And I agree full-heartedly! You are very wise, you know. [ he just has that aura about him...wise asian auntie fox. ] I've decided that I want to chronicle the lives of the people who are here, in our time in this place. Eight weeks should be plenty of time to gather everyone's stories, or at least enough that if we ever get a library, I can start to look into contextualizing them.
I hope you'll sit for interviews with me, Jiaoqiu.
[ what's it like to be able to stand up without all of your bones crunching ]
He's the leader of the Luofu, so perhaps that follows for those in charge. I trust him with my life. Though, don't tell him so. I would prefer he sweat.
[ pfft - he poorly muffles a giggle with his hand, polite. ]
Duly noted. Really… it was their mannerisms that were similar. Sir Leonide is an interesting man, for the most part. He’s very large and a capable fighter… but he loves to garden.
[ us like circling each others lore in playing polite characters ]
Those simple pleasures. [ that jiaoqiu mentioned before - he says this with a little smile, fond, and straightening. ] Perhaps we can start a garden here, too, besides the small one we have.
Both of things involve creation. It says a lot about you, I think.
Yes, I think so. I think... wanting to create things for others - to put your hands to things and make them yourself - and then to do so with things that can be delicate, or require extra attention... I think these are skills of good people.
[ after all, you could just pay someone to do it for you, but you don't. there's something so valuable about having something you made.
he stretches his own hands out in front of him briefly, then drops them to the side. ] It's nice, is all. And to share those things with others, even more so.

My life is not so interesting, but if you insist. [ amused. ] You should speak with General Jing Yuan. His life is fascinating, and worth a chronicle.
no subject
Oh! I have, at least a bit. We tried on hats. [ what ] He is your superior, yes? The one with his own room?
no subject
That's right. Spoiled. [ jing yuan your room privs ] He's a good man.
no subject
I got that impression as well. He reminds me a bit of the head of the Radiant Guard.

[ that's cute. ]
Well rounded, as well. Gardening should be a necessary skill.
no subject
[ weirdly, he sidesteps around the rest of the chat around leonide? weird. moving on! ] I could see you growing your own plants for your spices.
no subject
That is exactly what I do. When I was alive, all I needed was a kitchen, a garden, and a place to sleep. I think I still might only need that.

Does it? [ he asks, curious and amused. ] Hopefully only good things...
