The roamer... has a birthday?

[roamin_emotion]

[It's been some time since the pink-haired Lake Guardian has been outside. She's recovered rather nicely, thanks to a lot of rest and sweet recuperation. Those red gems are still slowly regenerating, now about halfway complete. Even after everything that had happened, Mesprit has cheered up and healed nicely.]

Ah, there we go... Perfect!

Or perhaps this?

[seadrift_angel]

[It's been even longer since Phione has wandered about on land. It might be just pure chance that she managed to make it to where Mesprit was.]

Mesprit of the Lakes! Might that be you?

[seadrift_angel]

[Ohohoh, it's so perfectly sweet that Phione can't resist uttering a happy cry.]

How it does! Your skills of cake-making must be unrivaled!

[roamin_emotion]

[Oh stop it. You're making her blush!]

Ah, thank you, Phione! I... I just followed the recipe and worked on the flavors, but I'm sure there's a better cake out there than mine! I am still glad that you like it!

[Oh, how humble she is.]

[seadrift_angel]

Cake of any sort is delicious. I have only tasted it but thrice, for cake is not made well beneath the waves of the Kingdoms.

[roamin_emotion]

[She agrees with that. Cake is good~]

Oh my... Wet cake doesn't sound like it'd taste that good, does it?

[seadrift_angel]

That it does not! The foods of the Kingdoms of the Seas are much different from those of the land kingdoms, after all.

[roamin_emotion]

[And she's used to living underwater too. Unfortunately, Berries don't grow in the depths of the Lake. ;__; But now she's curious.]

Huh... I didn't know that! What is food like where you're from?

[seadrift_angel]

[Dude, living under the lake is no comparison to living in the ocean.]

The foods of the Kingdoms of the Seas are often salty and hard, unless they are the harvests from the forests of kelp.

[roamin_emotion]

[For once, Mesprit's got a look of disgust on her face. Hard and salty just aren't her taste either...]

Salty? Ick, that doesn't sound tasty at all... and I've never tried kelp.

[seadrift_angel]

[Phione can respect that; different tastes, after all. Not to mention land cuisines, to her knowledge, are prepared differently, so of course it'd stand to reason that their tastes trend differently.]

Might you know of the leafed plants within the land kingdoms? Our forests of kelp look much like them, but whether they taste the same, I do not know.

[roamin_emotion]

[Well, she knows what plants are, but what they taste like? Nah, this pixie prefers Berries, not grass and plants.]

Like grass and trees? And... and Berry plants too?

[seadrift_angel]

The Berry plants sound most similar. Though kelp does not grow berries.

[roamin_emotion]

...There are Kelpsy Berries on land though... I wonder if they are similar...

[Pixie is now deep in thought...]

[seadrift_angel]

[And curious Phione is curious.]

Kelpsy Berries... I do not know. I have not seen them before. Might you know more of these Kelpsy Berries, Mesprit of the Lakes?

[roamin_emotion]

They're long Berries like this -[She uses her hands to show how long they were, maybe about shoulder-length?]- and they're usually a pretty blue-green color, but... I've never tried them before. I have seen them growing around Sinnoh, but it was rarely. Probably planted by a passing Trainer or Berry grower.

...Hey, maybe they can be found around here! This island seems to have lots of different Berries growing... [Now there's a good idea, isn't it?]

[seadrift_angel]

[Oh, definitely. It's piqued Phione's interest, at any rate.]

If the Kelpsy Berries do grow nearby, then might we go to see them? Then I may tell if they are like the kelp I know of!
