[The Dreamberry is seated next to Ada, who can be seen picking and studying flowers in the field. She looks rather happy about it, humming softly to herself.
While she has a number of different flowers gathered in a small bouquet at her side, she still seems determined.]
I wonder what sort of flower Miss Vanessa would like.

This is tougher on her brain than when she used to be at school. Nonetheless, Noel smiles.]
You, um... It looks like you're having a lot of fun, Miss Ada.

Oh! [Ada looks down at the screen when she hears Noel's voice.] Mmn. [Nods.]
It's nice. You could come join me if you'd like.
[She's a bit nervous really about just asking like that, but Noel had been so nice to her since she got here, that she already felt like they were friends. But then... maybe that was just her. Ada worried about that a little.]

Eh? Is that really okay?!
[Of course it was. Why would Ada ask if it wasn't? It was nice, finally having a female friend around her age that she can do young girly things with. Very refreshing, since the past year her only friends were guys and older women who were more of big sisterly figures than friends.]
Th-Then... I'd love to keep you company! Um... Should I get going now? It's my day off today, so...!

Of course! I'd really like that.
[Ada felt the same. She had friends at school, but it felt so much different here. There were a lot of things she didn't have to worry about when it came to other people.]
Mmn! [Nods.] Would you like me to come meet you somewhere?

[Noel had already taught Oz, but she wasn't sure if he passed that helpful info to his sister. She's willing to explain though, since she's already figured out that while cellphone models like the Dreamberry were kind of outdated to her, it's a rather new and foreign concept to the people in Ada's world.]

[But it did make her give the device a long, hard, look, as though she'd find something she'd missed, plain as day, every other time she had looked at it.]

Oh, it's no problem. All you need to do is... [Insert clear and concise instructions on how to send your GPS location through the Dreamberry here because laziness.]
... That's about it. If you need me to repeat or clarify anything, just let me know!

There! I think it worked.

Yup! You did it all perfectly! I'll be right there, just give me some time...
[She ends the communication line so she can concentrate in getting to where Ada was. Several minutes pass, and Noel finally approaches her with a small fave and a big smile.]
H-Hello! I, um, really hope I didn't make you wait too long...

Ada set it back down next to her and waited patiently. It was such a nice day. And she had learned something new and useful as well. Looking up, she smiles and shakes her head when Noel approaches.]
No! Not at all.

[Noel kneels down next to Ada, admiring the flowers growing on the field, as well as the ones the other girl had collected.]
You know, seeing so many flowers and plants makes me feel really nostalgic... It might be because it reminds me of when I used to live with Mother and Father.
[Though sometimes, Noel felt that there was more to it than that, but she keeps that part to herself.]
Reply
[This was the first time Noel had really talked about herself like that. She was interested.]
Miss Vanessa is going to teach me their meanings. Most girls back home learn that at an earlier age, but I guess I was a bit different then most.
[Yes. Different.]
Reply
[And... a little mind boggling. She didn't think Vanessa would teach any other girl that.]
It's really amazing, though... I don't think I could remember so many meanings. Then again, it's not really something needed to know for the girls back home. Most of them train to become Novus Orbis Librarium soldiers.

[But even Ada considers it more of a hobby then something 'serious'.]
Do you have a hobby? Being raised as a soldier... that seems difficult. Although I'm a bit envious of stronger women.
[She wished she was stronger. that's why she asked Elliot to teach her. She looked up to strong women. Because she wanted to be more like that.]
Reply
[Noel never really discussed them to anyone before... Aside from Tsubaki and Makoto, but besides them... They were complete secrets. Kind of. Maybe it would be okay to tell Ada...]
Um... I-I like poetry and cooking, I guess. [Never mind the fact that she's completely terrible at both. She frowns though, at the notion of being 'strong'.]
I... wouldn't really consider myself 'strong'. I pretty much enlisted just to restore my adopted family's name... They wanted me to get a non-combative position, but... I was offered to have their noble status restored in exchange for me becoming a special solo combatant. Despite that, I'm still really shy and clumsy...
Reply
[Ada thought it was cute. Those were more feminine hobbies then some of her own but wasn't that a good thing?]
Still... I don't know if I could have done that myself. Most of the time I'm sure I probably don't live up to my family's name in most ways. But I try to at least be strong of heart so that someday I can.
