[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... )
[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'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.
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.

Any time is a good time, Terra.

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.

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

[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?

[Or asking around might help, too.]

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.]

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

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.]

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