1st Dream [Video]

[beautyrest]

[Aurora is fiddling with the strange new technology, although the more observant may notice a bunny paw just on the side of the camera.]

I- yes, I do believe we've finally figured out how to do this.

[The animals around her all give cries of excitement. She laughs and then returns to regard the video.]

Hello, I am Princess Aurora, daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah. [She offered quite the graceful curtsey to her invisible audience. Her owl and the other animals around her offer bows as well. That little trick might be more impressive than anything else she has to say.] But please just call me Aurora. [She'd say Rose but then she has to explain the WHY.]

Growing up, I had to learn herbal remedies, salves, and various other natural medicines to help with illnesses and pains, which is what I shall be dedicating my farm towards. If you are in need of anything for something as minor as stomach trouble or a headache to a more serious cold, then I will be happy to try and assist in any way I can.

[The owl gives a soft "hoo!" as if to remind Aurora that she has to make a living, this cannot be done for free.] Oh yes, thank you for reminding me. We shall work out a fair price upon your arrival.

I wish you all a wonderful day otherwise and wish you well.

Pays to have woodland friends in high places.

[...She guessed. Get it. High places. Owls. Bird. Anyway.]

You said something about making medicines?

[beautyrest]

[She smiles, she gets it. Clever.]

Hmm? Oh yes, growing up in the forest for sixteen years, I became adept at such a thing. I suppose I now understand why I was the only one to ever get sick. Fairies don't become ill the way humans do, after all.

[standingonmyneck]

[Already, Daria just decided she just. Needed to roll with these punches. Keep remembering it's not like dealing with Quinn or Brittany at their worst. Aurora was kind and she always tried, and was attentive. It wasn't painful to talk about, as it was just another new thing hurled at her that she had to deal with.

But it was certainly nothing to scorn, or dislike handling.]

It helps when we're away from the ever expanding dispensing of antibiotics. You've still got a skill that helps.

[Maybe it was hard to talk about it. If Aurora was observant, there were jars filled with potent ginger concoctions on the table behind her.]

[beautyrest]

[Aurora doesn't know what antibiotics are, but she is observant, certainly enough to see the jars. She doesn't comment on them, however, as that could be rude, so she goes for a more roundabout method.]

Well, the book helped with all sorts of ailments, and with my aunts' help, I was able to fine-tune some of the recipes to be more effective. Would you like me to show you some, Daria?

[standingonmyneck]

[It took a brief pause on her end as her eyes darted to the side for a moment. Daria might've bit her lip. She couldn't trust many new people around here yet at all. Aurora was the only one she could, though. She proved herself to be kind enough to not yank her chain or have some ulterior motive.


She has a woodland fuzzy friend army, for goodness sake. That kind of stuff was in children's books. It was an awkward moment before she tilted her head and tapped the desk with her thin fingers.]

I guess that might be good. Seeing as we're away from modern medicine, I've been trying to learn how this worked.

[beautyrest]

I would be more than happy to teach you, though I hope you will forgive my failings as a teacher, I've never done it before. What would you like to learn first?

[standingonmyneck]

You don't have to think of it as teaching. You already said you made your farm for it. So just do what you normally do, and I'll be there doing the same.

[beautyrest]

Well, I suppose that is one way to look at it. Feel free to come by whenever you like, Daria. Do you like tea? Or do you prefer something else to drink? Lemonade, perhaps?

[standingonmyneck]

Uh, lemonade, I guess.

[Gosh, already with the good hospitality.]

I can come over this afternoon.

[beautyrest]

Then I will see you this afternoon. Have a wonderful day, Daria, I can't wait to see you.
