[[ if one were to describe the world that nia comes from, 'vegetation' would not be use often, if at all.

see, nia's world is kind of sad when i comes to greenery. sure, there's some, but a lot of the place is just wasteland and deserts. what we're getting at, is that nia isn't too familiar with the concept of farms.

but she's really diggin' it! haha, get it? anyway.

after exploring her own farm, she's decided to see what else this beautiful place has to offer. and that means she's going to wander right into your yard and check out your plants! or whatever is growing in your farm, it might just be some weeds. it's all new to nia. don't worry, though, she won't take anything. probably. ]]

Ooh! How wonderful! I wonder what these are called...?

[Barret is in the process of cleaning up all the chocobo feed after discerning that they weren't hallucinatory drugs when he noticed Nia there.]

That's called a potato, little one. Y'all new to this farm life too?

[Don't mind the big guy with the gun on his arm, he's mostly friendly.]

[crosseyed]

A potato! This is what they look like before they are brought up? [[ oooh. aaaah. ]]

Yes, I am! I have never seen so many plants before! They are very beautiful. [[ even, er. the potato plants. ]]

[dont_f_up]

You've never seen a potato plant before? They're hardy little fellas, and will survive harsher environments.

[Barret knew a bit about farming, considering you had to eat to mine coal after all.]

What's your name kid?

[crosseyed]

[[ princess hands don't farm. they do cook, though. badly. ]] No, I have not!

Ah, my name is Nia! [[ she finally turns her attention away from the potato plant and faces barret. ]] Hail and well met! What is your name, sir?

[dont_f_up]

Y'all can call me Barret. Barret Wallace. I'm not from around here but that's pretty darn-tootin obvious.

[Barret wasn't about to go swearing up a storm in front of a younger kid, especially one who wasn't hardened to it like Marlene was.]

Ah'm planting all sorts of things here! Beans, carrots, spinach... Salad stuff y'know what ah'm saying?

[crosseyed]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Barret! [[ it's always nice, making new friends. and they are already friends, in her book! ]]

Oh, yes, salads! Does that mean you cook, Barret? [[ making salads is hardly cooking, but it's close enough. ]]

[dont_f_up]

Kinda yeah. Been cooking an' raising a kid o'my own. I need to know how to make food after all. Salads, steak, whatever comes our way.

Haven't raised any animals fer eating yet.

[crosseyed]

I also cook! I used to be in charge of it, where I am from! [[ what she makes is not edible food, though. don't let her fool you. ]] It is very fun, don't you think?

Ah, of course, you need meat for proper nutrition! It is not a true meal without that!

[dont_f_up]

Yeah, well, it puts food on the table that's for bomb-diggity sure.

[Well, she was enthusiastic about it.]

Yep. I was thinking of purchasing some meat animals but right now, I can't seem to keep all this chocobo feed from growin'.

[crosseyed]

Chocobo...? [[ she's never heard that one before... also on the list of things she has never heard: ]] Bomb-diggity?

[dont_f_up]

Chocobo, ya'know, those two legged birds. Red calls em dinner.

Yeah, bomb-diggity, a expression.

[crosseyed]

Ah, I am afraid I do not know! We do not have chocobos where I am from.

Is 'bomb-diggity' a good thing? [[ slang is not nia's forte. ]]

[dont_f_up]

Ah, well, they don't have em here right now, so I'm not entirely sure why my place is growing feed.

Yeah, bomb-diggity, swanky as all [beep], you know.

[Whoops.]
