[There is a lump of blankets on the communicator, wiggling around, feeling for the buttons, before it finally settles on video mode. It isn't hard to tell it's N, though. The fluffy tuft of green hair poking out from underneath the lump of blankets is a dead giveaway. There's a pair of legs, clad in train-patterned pajama pants, poking out from

I only wish I could have discovered it under better circumstances.

Well yeah, but you know what they say: "A true man grows tallest in the soil of adversity."

...or something. [Sage nod]

[saynotoballs]

The richness of the soil affects human growth in your world?

A man name Auron was asking about Weapons who were swords. You might like to talk to him.

[Video]

[saynotoballs]

Auron, you said?

Thank-you, I will keep that name in mind. Is he a friend of yours?

[Video]

[strengthtohelp]

Yes. [A nod.]

Not yet, but he recently requested candidates for a potential partnership. He mentioned having a preference for Weapons with sword forms.

If the stream of repentant posts to the network is anything to judge by, you're in good company.

[and...] That's a lovely choice in patterned sleepwear. Was it a gift?

[N grabs at his blankets again before looking first to the communicator, then to his pants]

I chose them myself, actually. Why do you ask?

[meowgeneticist]

No particular reason. Clothing choices often say a good deal about a person, that's all. [unlike Stripp, she is definitely psychoanalyzing you, stranger]

[saynotoballs]

I have not thought about that before, but it is a fair assumption to make. When one has a choice to decorate themselves, I imagine their choices are far from arbitrary!

Do my pants say anything in particular?

[She flinches when she sees the sword, but she listens to his apology.]

No, I'm fine for the most part, now. [She shows him her arm, healed except for a faint scar] See? No blood!

[saynotoballs]

That is a relief to hear.

I have divided this candy up -- one part is for you. I believe that there are equal parts chocolate and fruit candies, but if you have a preference...

[pickinurpockets]

Oh, geez, you don't have to do that! You weren't feeling well when you attacked me, it's not your fault.

[saynotoballs]

Naturally when one possesses free will there are few things that have to be done. I would like to do this.

Im Fine N
Thank You For Asking

Are You Okay

[saynotoballs]

[It takes a moment for him to fiddle text mode on and get the communicator into a position where he can type]

You're welcome. It is the least I can do, after all.

As for myself - I am fine. Perhaps well enough to train again soon.

Do you like candy?

[wantrainbowwine]

Im Glad To Hear It
Though It Might Behoove You To Keep In Mind Not To Overexert Yourself

I Have Yet To Try Any Candy Here But I Do Like It Back Home

[saynotoballs]

Then if you would give me your room number, I have something for you!

[This time his present won't track dirt. Honest.]
