[66] every minor detail is a major decision

[buildstherobots]

[Yeah, Dist is still rather bitter about the whole droning thing and his talk with Nina. He hasn't even had the energy to update his letter, which he knows sorely needs doing, and his efforts to repair the Kaiser's gun constantly end in frustration. Sol, his cheagle, to his credit, does his best to comfort his master, but in a house full of drones he's often just too worn out to be consoled.]

Someone in this town must be able to teach me to fight. An old resident had begun the process, but he's been... gone... for ages. I will provide compensation if it's required.

[It's late in the year, but Dist is in his garden anyway, dressed down for the job of digging up his flowerbed and eventually beginning to replicate a pretty white flower, which Sol is replanting for him as he comes up with new ones. They're selenias, flowers native to Auldrant, and it's a comfort to have them there. He's stuck, and might as well make it a home rather than a prison. He'd given up in bits and pieces already, and this just seems fitting. Damn his drone-infested house, damn his lack of friends. Damn it all.]

[Aurica frowns as she takes and puts the paper away. She knows in a sense what he's talking about, but she didn't want to believe that just yet.]

I see..thank you though. [Though she couldn't hide how she felt about it, as she frowned in disappointment.

She squats down to pet Sol again, smiling a weak smile at it.] What kind of creature is this, Mister..?

Dist.

[He sits back on the grass, watching blankly. Sol is nudging his head up into the girl's hand, chirping happily.]

He's a cheagle, little animals from my world. He's... one of the few things I have from there. He was a burden at first, but he has his uses.

[Like keeping Dist company.]

[She smiled better, Sol's reaction cheering her up. Aurica picked the cheagle up and, after some more staring it over with accompanying tilts to her head, snuggled it some.]

He's a big comfort, in a place like this.

[Her eyes moved along the ground as she switched view between the two, when they noticed the white flowers, breath leaving her.]

Those look beautiful, Dist. I've never seen flowers like them before.
