[ While the hour is very early at least one person is up and about. Morgana is sitting by her window, looking outside at the snow. For a second you might mistake her to be asleep; but a moment later she will rise up and open the window just a tad. Enough to collect a few snowflakes in her palm. ]

The world looks quite different when it snows, does

[ there's a wee bit of a bitter tone in her voice. ]

A lot of the flowers were dead and brittle before the snow.

[medicatus]

Because of the weather turning colder?

video

[prevaricatress]

Yeah. That's usually how it works.

[medicatus]

Perhaps there is a way to save some? Surely not all of them have frozen.

All flowers die in winter. It's only the trees who survive.

...They come back; it's no really big deal.

[medicatus]

Yes -- of course. Are you fond of flowers, Minatsuki?

video

[prevaricatress]

[ incredibly. ]

Yes. They're...universal. [ meaning home and here. ]

video

[medicatus]

That is the finest description to them, true enough.

[prevaricatress]

I mean... I bet if we went to different plants, they might try to eat us, but they're so pretty...

[ um. ]

I used to plant flowers with my mom.

[medicatus]

Did you?

I have no memories of my mother.

video

[prevaricatress]

I'm sor -

...Is that a bad thing?

video

[medicatus]

No. It spares me missing her. You cannot miss what you did not know.

video

[prevaricatress]

[ it also doesn't give them the chance to fuck you up. she smiles a bit - somewhat sadly. ]

That's true... I do miss my mother...

video

[medicatus]

It's been long since you have seen her. I am sorry, Minatsuki. Sometimes I miss my father as well.

video

[prevaricatress]

[ oh the tears in the corner of her eyes. ]

Are you waiting for him...? Or is he d -... gone.

video

[medicatus]

He died when I was ten years old, at war.
