It's a three-parter! Slightly backdated to before the VI trip

[Today, Edgar is a busy man. First, a phone call, to one particular little girl who just happens to have summons at her beck and call. No, he doesn't want to talk to your father, he would rather speak with you directly, Eiko ( Read more... )

[Terra knocks on his office door shortly after that broadcast.]

Come in. [He doesn't sound particularly busy, at least.]

[Terra slips inside, closing the door behind her.]

I hope now is a good time to see you...?

[Edgar glances up at the newcomer, smiling and pushing his chair away from the desk when he sees who it is.]

Any time is a good time, Terra.

[Terra heads on over to the desk, smiling in turn.]

I'm glad to hear that.

...thank you for making that announcement. I'm glad to help, but I hope it brings in more people, too.

[And Edgar stands, moving to the front of the desk to sit on the edge and take her hands.]

I would not want you taking care of an entire building of children on your own. Even at home, you had help in Mobliz; it's simply too big a job for one person. I hope you don't mind me advertising your name with this project, though.

[Hearing about something she doesn't remember doing is still weird, but the rest doesn't bother her. She shakes her head, letting her hands rest in his.]

No, not at all. I was thinking about how to mention that over the network anyway, so you saved me the trouble. I might when it's closer to being put into action, but still...that will help a lot, I'm sure.

[He won't go into the specifics, but really that concern is simply common sense.]

I am, too. And if it's me asking for the help... [He has to smile a bit ruefully.] We might be more likely to have people offer to help if they think I will remember them and do them favors later.

[It's not a fact he likes of royal life, but it's a fact anyway and he'll use it.]

[Terra shrugs, unfazed by that.]

If they will help and make it easier for the children stranded here, then they'll have earned those favors.

Not necessarily, but that's another matter. Right now, if it gets us the help we need, then I'll use that status.

[And he's not letting go of her hands, instead starting to stroke her palms just a little with his thumbs.]

Can you think of anything you'll want?

[Terra's brow furrows as she tries to think about other things than Edgar's touch.]

Hm...other than plenty of space for the children to rest and play, I'm not sure. Probably a good-sized kitchen area and...I don't know what else. Maybe when I see the place for myself, I'll get more ideas.

[Or asking around might help, too.]

[He isn't really helping matters any.]

And others who would like to help will probably have more idea of what's needed for such a proposition than we do. [He's royal, he didn't exactly have a normal upbringing.] I think this will be a very good thing for this world, and for you, Terra.

[She smiles at that, maybe blushing just a little.]

I'm glad to help. I wanted to do more for a while. Now it seems weird that I didn't think about this earlier.

[And, okay, staring down at their hands.]

You'll help plenty with this once we have everything set up properly.

[And then he notices what direction her eyes are straying in, looking at her with a little curiosity.]

Is there something wrong?

[She's quick to shake her head.]

No, not at all. I was just a little distracted, but...you don't have to stop.

[Please don't? Or the wibbleface will happen.]

[And Edgar chuckles, squeezing her hands a little in his own.]

I would be very distraught if you wished me to stop.
