[Allen is sitting in the middle of an herb garden, a basket full of various plants in little pouches carefully labeled. He's humming softly and not paying attention to a damn thing in the fading sunlight

[Except there is always one person there for him to help, even if helping her is almost impossible.]

Allen?...

[ahealallsmile]

[He won't give up, she should know that! One day they'll have a breakthrough!

He gives her a genuine smile.] Hello, Miranda. [Gestures her to come over.] How have you been?

[fallenkeytotime]

Alright... I suppose...

W-What are you doing?...

[ahealallsmile]

Collecting herbs, my collection from home was getting too dry to use.

[fallenkeytotime]

Herbs?... For what?

[ahealallsmile]

Teas and medicines, sometimes there are things I can't Heal with my magic so I have to rely on herbology.

Of course just gardening is relaxing, too.

[fallenkeytotime]

I-I have a small garden as well in this place... Well... I-Its not actually mine, but I do tend and water the flowers...

[ahealallsmile]

I'm sure whoever owns it doesn't mind the extra help, Miranda. And the flowers are probably happy for the extra attention.

[fallenkeytotime]

He said he was glad that I was taking care of them while he was gone... We made it together and it would be a shame if they died...

[ahealallsmile]

At least it's a project both of you love doing, I'd like to see it sometime if that's alright.

[fallenkeytotime]

Its mostly been me... I haven't seen him for over a year... All of my friends are slowly disappearing...

[ahealallsmile]

I'm sure he'll come back at some point, Miranda. [Unless this place sends people home for good. D: But he doesn't know about that yet.] And you can show him how much it's grown since then.

[fallenkeytotime]

[Oh, she knows they do. She's seen it.]

They don't always come back, Allen... Many of the friends I met when I first came here are gone...

[ahealallsmile]

They...don't? [Frown.] But you can always make new friends, Miranda. Can't you?

[fallenkeytotime]

I-I've never been good at making friends... Too shy... And if they're just going to disappear then... Why?

[ahealallsmile]

It's never too late to start, we're friends aren't we? [Reassuring smile.] And I have no plans to go anywhere, so we build from our friendship and make friends with others.
