[Things have been tense at the Liberation Lodge lately. As such, Svala is making herself extremely available for talks, knowing it was better to make an invitation than a mandatory RSVP.

Plus her garden needed weeding something fierce.So she's on her knees in the dirt around House 32, the knees of her (only pair of) pants already dirty and grass-

[Diana is taking a walk and pauses when she sees Svala. She might as well make small talk. It doesn't hurt to make new friends.]

Hello.

[halgitamilf]

Good day. [Svala sits back on her heels all prim and proper to pay her the appropriate amount of courtesy and attention.]

[orchidsandfire]

You have a lovely garden. [Really, she barely notices the weeds!]

[halgitamilf]

[Svala bows her head in gratitude.]

Thank you.

Forgive me, but I do not believe we have met. May I ask your name?

[orchidsandfire]

My name is Diana. And yours?

[halgitamilf]

Svala.

I would offer my hand, but perhaps it would be best to refrain.

[She does stand up though, brushing herself off a little bit though it doesn't do her dirty fingers any good.]

How are you finding Luceti thus far?

[orchidsandfire]

Oh no, it's all right.

[A pause as she thinks about her answer.]

It's quite pleasant. Most of the time.

[halgitamilf]

Yes, oftentimes. When one is not bombarded by experimentation or the unrest of fellow captives. [Hopefully Diana won't take that as sarcasm, since Svala certainly didn't mean it that way.]

[orchidsandfire]

[Don't worry, she doesn't.]

Yet there are peaceful times as well, where one has the time to grow and appreciate a beautiful garden.

[halgitamilf]

It is but the simple hobby of a simple woman. [One of those is true anyway.]

It is also useful when one wishes to contact the spirit of earth here.

[orchidsandfire]

Ah, yes. I have heard about these spirits. They are said to grant those who contact them powers?

[halgitamilf]

In the best case scenario, yes.

[She gestures to the garden.] I merely wish to commune with the spirits, but I cannot deny the added benefits.

[orchidsandfire]

Perhaps I should also commune with them, for curiosity's sake. I have no desire to gain more abilities - my goddesses have given me enough of them.

[halgitamilf]

[Ooooh, other people's religions. Svala loves talking about those.]

May I inquire further on the nature of your goddesses?

[orchidsandfire]

Of course. Are you familiar with the Greek pantheon?

[halgitamilf]

I am afraid not. [But it sounds fascinating. She wants to know.]
