[When you send Grune out to go shopping, you should only expect her to come back with half your list--if you're lucky. You have to give Fenimore points for trying, though.

At the moment, Grune is giving a puzzled look to said list. Did she already pick up some apples? (Answer: yes. They're in her shopping basket.)

Help her out?]

[Action] semper_cogitans November 25 2011, 16:57:16 UTC

[... Grune, Grune, Grune. Robert can't help but smile gently at that, his own shopping list - well, whatever a nanocomputer-projected list can be called, at any rate - promptly forgotten for the moment as he walks up to the taller, beautiful woman's side.]

... Would you... like some assistance, Grune...?

[Apples, hm? Maybe Grune is making something similar.]

[Action] lostinmyway November 25 2011, 23:15:53 UTC

[Grune looks up. Once her gaze focuses on Robert, her face lights up with a smile.]

Hello, Robert! Thank you--that would be very nice.

[It's always more fun to do the shopping with a friend.]

[Action] semper_cogitans November 26 2011, 09:49:21 UTC

[At least it's Grune - unthreatening and kind and gentle... not a person Robert has any trouble associating with.]

May I see your grocery list, so I can help you look for the items on it...?

[He'll quickly realize she does, indeed, have the required apples.]

[Action] lostinmyway November 26 2011, 22:49:34 UTC

Oh, thank you. Here you go! [She hands it over.]

[Action] semper_cogitans November 27 2011, 14:11:30 UTC

[It only takes a moment of scanning the list before:] ... Ah, Grune, it... appears you already have the apples on the list.

...

Perhaps we should look for the next item...?

[Action] lostinmyway November 28 2011, 00:15:26 UTC

[She looks down at her shopping basket, puzzled. How did those get there?]

Do you think so?

[Action] semper_cogitans November 28 2011, 05:44:25 UTC

[Oh, Grune...]

Yes, I do think that... it would be most prudent...

[Now what's the next item on Grune's list?]

[Action] lostinmyway November 28 2011, 16:35:22 UTC

Hmm.... All right.

[Next up: bread for sandwiches.]

[Action] semper_cogitans November 29 2011, 02:46:57 UTC

[Delicious bread! Robert begins to steer Grune in the general direction of the baked produce - assuming any kind of actual organization to the store - while he marvels at the varieties of bread that actually exist.]

... There is such a... diverse selection here. Sometimes I find myself... overwhelmed.

[Action] lostinmyway November 29 2011, 14:53:50 UTC

Overwhelmed?

[That's not something she ever feels, so she's going to have a little trouble understanding.]

[Action] semper_cogitans November 29 2011, 18:23:07 UTC

... [How to explain this?]

... Somewhat... stunned by the sheer amount of something. In this case, variety.

[He peruses a package of pita bread a moment.]

There are... so many kinds of bread that it is... difficult to choose.

[Action] lostinmyway November 29 2011, 19:42:07 UTC

Oh, but it's nice to have so many different kinds to choose from. Then you can have lots of favourites!

[Action] semper_cogitans November 29 2011, 20:00:43 UTC

Yes, but... the choice can also be... troublesome, when it is so broad. That, and... I am never certain which is the best to make...

[You are speaking to a person who has difficulty with perceived or actual failure, Grune.]

[Action] lostinmyway November 30 2011, 00:56:35 UTC

[And you are speaking to someone who pretty much defines unconditional love, Robert.]

Oh, the best to make is your favourite. Or the favourite of your friends.

[Action] semper_cogitans November 30 2011, 15:38:48 UTC

[He can't help but smile at that answer.]

... I suppose that would be a place to start.

In that case, do you... have a favourite kind of bread?
