Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
The princes Firuz and Azir, is it?
[I'm glad you still have these moments, too.]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
"Yeah!"
"That's us!"
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Of all the things that grow here, what are your favourites?
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
How about this -- if you were each to pick one thing for the other, what would it be?
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
"One is hard..."
"Azir likes sweet berries! The sweeter the better! So I'd pick sacred ruby berries!"
"Oh yeah... well, Firuz likes things with more than one flavor, so... I'd pick the sunrise fruit. They're kinda spicy and sweet."
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Could you show me where they are? I have a friend around your age, and, well... it probably wouldn't hurt to bring just one or two back with me, would it?
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
"We've got lots of everything here."
"Enough to feed everyone in Mahalen and then some!"
"So you can have a couple."
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
"Yep yep! We're working hard too."
"Berries this way!"
Each twin offers a hand for him to hold, like guiding people around like this is totally normal for them. It might be a game they play with their parents or siblings?
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Lead on.
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
"Berries here!"
Azir picks one to eat now that he's been reminded they exist.
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
All the plants here are in wonderful shape. Everyone must take very good care of them.
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
"Mom and dad put a lot of work into it."
"Fruit this way!"
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
[Idly, he checks to see if his phone has accompanied him on this journey.]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
"Sunrise trees!"
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Satin knees down, gesturing Firuz to turn around, and with the ease of more than a little practice, sets Firuz up on his shoulders.]
Here we go.
[Sitting there puts him high, but Satin standing makes him go higher, up to where branches completely unmolested by small hands are fully in reach.]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Azir, meanwhile, copies what he's seen the adults do when reaching high fruits and grabs Satin's leg like he's bracing a ladder.
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Thank you for the support.
[He keeps one hand around Firuz's ankle, keeping him braced and steady, and briefly reaches up to nab two for himself.]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Firuz holds the fruit out like a demonstration.
"You can just peel it with your fingers and bite it. It doesn't take a knife or anything."
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
Re: [ ROUGH DIRT ]
[So an orchard would likely need two for cross-pollination... assuming they could adjust to a world without Creation's particular patterns.
Still. Worth noting.]
Have you picked the ones you'd like to?
