You know, these things aren't really that difficult to use, once you get used to it.

[Martel gives a little wave into the camera and a bright smile.]

Well, it's been a busy first day! I won't bore anyone with the details, but I wanted to introduce myself and make both an offer and a request, so here we are.

My name is Martel Yggdrasill. I was a healer back home, so if you get hurt, please don't hesitate to call on me. I know there's a doctor in town, but if you're closer to (INSERT FARM PLOT HERE), you might as well come down and see me.

Anyway, I'm trying to get an orchard started, but I've run into the slight complication of funds. I'm not necessarily asking for a loan or anything, just some advice as to how to best scrape together some... seed money.

[And the entire spectrum of humor groans in pain.]

If you're curious as to how quickly my efforts will... bear fruit, well, I have something to show you.

[Another terrible pun is followed by her promptly turning her device to take in a... full-grown apple tree. With several ripe, juicy looking apples already hanging from it.

What.

Ahaha... well, you're not wrong there.

[Of course! Why would he be trying to keep himself from breaking down? That's just silly! ...and even if he were trying to keep himself from becoming a complete and total mess, he'd at least be succeeding! A true miracle, that.]
decoyofahero: (is that so?)

I expected nothing else.

[He appreciates her efforts, at least. It's not as if he can blame her.]

I really haven't been up to much -- just settling in and seeing what I can do with my own farm. Is it okay if I ask about what sort of interesting ideas you have?
decoyofahero: (u-um well... ///)

[personal profile] decoyofahero 2018-06-29 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I remember. [There are many memories that have faded over his four thousand years of existence, but every memory, every experience with Martel is still clear in mind, as if they're recent and had just happened yesterday.] Will... ah, w-would you mind me accompanying you, Martel?

[It's not just the selfish desire to play a role in his sister's life after all he's done in her name talking -- he also wants to make sure she stays safe.]
decoyofahero: (nostalgic smile)

[personal profile] decoyofahero 2018-07-04 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. [He sounds... far more grateful than one likely would normally at her answer. However, this probably isn't all that surprising to her.] I'll be sure to accompany you as much as I can.

[He is probably going to make sure he can accompany her every single time.]
decoyofahero: (haha... i guess!)

[personal profile] decoyofahero 2018-07-13 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Martel. Really, I can't thank you enough. I won't be a burden on you, I promise.

[He can't help but think about how a long time ago, he'd say such things for vastly different reasons.]
decoyofahero: (a (now loyal) smile)

[personal profile] decoyofahero 2018-07-14 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
...thank you. [It's hard for him to truly believe that now, but he's willing to pretend he does for her sake.] So, is an orchard all you have planned for your farm, Martel?
decoyofahero: (is that so?)

[personal profile] decoyofahero 2018-07-15 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
...what would you need to build what's shown in the blueprints?

[He's not planning to make them for her himself, no. That's silly. Why would anyone ever come to such a conclusion?]
decoyofahero: (a (now loyal) smile)

[personal profile] decoyofahero 2018-07-16 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep a look out for them. [Read: he'll obsessively look for everything she needs for her.] If it's something you want to do, I want to help make it possible. Most of those aren't that hard to find and gather anyway, of course.

[So he just needs to have an obsessive focus on the pine tar. No big deal.]

decoyofahero: (err... lloyd...)

[personal profile] decoyofahero 2018-07-17 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
I will! [He pouts, an action that feels silly to him due to his status as a 4000 seraph who's the secondhand man to someone who controls two worlds. At the same time, it feels nice to be able to act the age he appears, especially around his sister.] I've been taking care of things around my place, and taking care of myself as well. I wouldn't want to make you worry, Martel.

[It's... easier to take care of one's self when you don't need to sleep or eat though, and most of the time Mithos uses his Cruxis Crystal to void the need to do either. ...especially after the, ergh, spicy food incident that happened shortly after he arrived in Starhue.]

I'll make looking for copper my top priority, then.

Then I'll continue to make sure you don't have to worry about me. [And just like that, he's smiling again. He can't resist the urge when he's able to talk to Martel so naturally.] I just also want to help you out.

[Mithos really tried not to cheat too much while clearing the farm, at least. ...of course, not cheating "too" much means that he did, in fact, cheat a little. What's the point of not using the abilities at all if you have them?]

Of course. You can count on me, Martel. [He'll make sure she can. He's already failed her enough times.]
