[Look... He wasn't going to ask whether she missed being rich, that's tone deaf and rude. Of course she misses being rich (no).

Why'd she have to say something so depressing? I hate you.]

It's a fair thing to miss. I don't think you're the only one who thinks as much. Here or back home.

[declass]

[ i'm sorry, she's cute so no one expects the depression ]

Probably... but at least the change in my lifestyle there does make it somewhat easier to adjust here.

[ she has already learned how to adjust to a rather radical change overnight, so it's easier to do it a second time. ]

[damnpire]

[😡😡😡]

There isn't anything wrong with needing more time to adjust.

[Before, at home, but also suddenly being here for some wild reason they can only assume fits the narrative given to them.]

What will you do now?

[declass]

Try to make some tea, I think.

[ she pats her pocket carefully, to not damage the goods she slipped into it. ]

And then after... I believe it might be good to learn more about the plants here. Wouldn't want to make a mistake.

[damnpire]

[The answer shouldn't surprise him, but it does a little. It's very... present and now. That's not a bad thing at all. It's simple.

At the edge of Serene where they had met initially, he slows to a stop and looks at her.]

There is a library and a school here in Serene.

[In case she is interested in either. And also learning about the plants.]

[declass]

That might be nice. Although I wonder what kind of things I'd learn here...?

[ it probably wouldn't be the same kind of education she got from ursus, but... ]

Have you been?

[damnpire]

I looked around.

[Which means yes. He went. And snooped because he is nosy.]

The library is large. You’ll have to look on your own for what you’d like. [But:] The school teaches classes related to nature, serenity, and harmony.

There could be a botany lecture.

[declass]

Serenity and harmony...

[ that's so vague, but at the same time it does capture the atmosphere that this area seems to want to give off. it really does show how different everything is, depending on where you are... imagine nature classes in the shadowlands. cannot see it. ]

I will attend then. It's not like I have much else to do here, anyway.

[Rosa can do some meditation and yoga to try to help her depression. Should D join her? Yes. Will he? No.

Her acceptance of more schooling actually... manages to get him to smile? Is it a smile? It's extremely faint, and he turns his head a little away as it happens. It's definitely the smallest of smiles, a strange thing to appear on his face. It's gone kind of quick! Goodbye.]

I think you should.

[declass]

[ d please your therapy. d your smile

she doesn't react to the smile, mostly because it happens quick enough that she isn't actually sure whether it happened for real or not. ]

If I learn anything useful about this place there, I'll let you know, okay?

[damnpire]

[It was an illusion as it should be. He doesn’t smile. Never smiled in his whole life.]

Thank you. [He appreciates it.] It didn’t seem dangerous, but be careful.

[FOR SOME REASON EVEN IN DEATH, LOTS OF THINGS ARE DANGEROUS HERE.]

[declass]

I will... I feel like we have to always be on our toes here.

[ later, a headless horseman will murder several people at a party, but right now that isn't any of their business. ]

[damnpire]

I think we will.

[We really started our thread before so much bullshit decides to happen... and now somehow are wrapping it up at the very end nicely.

Reaching up, he takes his hat by the brim in the front and tips his head in a polite nod of farewell.]

Goodbye.
