( conducting business. . . what kind of business. . . 💭 * )

@luctificus.bsky.social

We've not interacted much, but I've found out few exchanges pleasant.

Do let me know if you'd ever be interested in conducting business.

( ‼️ * )

( 👍* )

mhm, i don't think there's anywhere quite the library that has the big orange tree.

( and they chuckle softly, vaguely amused.
it feels almost nonsensical, and yet. . . )

thank you, im sure that i will enjoy myself. . . there is a lot to learn, a lot to find, even.

im sure that i will not be bored anytime soon.

( they nod, carefully popping the fruit into its mouth.
it's sweet. . . how delightful. )

it's not an acquired taste, not at all, i just haven't had the chance to eat much.

oh, that kind of pleasure. i see.

( their head tilts to the side, a soft hum warming their throat. )

i suppose i am here to see the sights.

oh, we. . . we do, yes. i just haven't been one to buy them.

( the slice is still held out, patiently as they think this all through.

. . . what even is the coin they use in south korea ? )

oh, you have no idea.

( it's almost like an inside joke with itself — all the miles between where they really came from and this place with no name that they know of.

there is a pause. )

pardon ?

so i see. i thought it to be only decoration on the roof, but now that you mention it. . .

( a slice easily slides off of the membrane, the white part patiently pulled off before it's offered to her. )

i haven't had oranges a lot, i think im still learning how i feel about it.

it's quite the odd place for oranges to grow.

( they mention without even noticing it was spoken aloud, gloves removed to start tearing into the peel. )

are you particularly fond of oranges ?

aortic MARMYYYY HELLO SWEETIE

thank you.

( patting the spot by their side for sesil to sit, gloves peeled off in favour of handling the sticky material. )

have you ever done first aid before ?

and i care about you, and that's why i don't want you to worry.

( lips press against their temple, patiently. )

( they hum softly, carefully looking the bite mark over. . . it's probably going to bruise isn't it ? )

do you need help over there ?

( it doesn't make a lot of sense to someone watching from the outside but. . . hey, as long as she's eating ! )

haha, im glad you like them, please have as many as you'd like.

really ? i mean that would make sense. . . so please, do remember to eat often.

( humming, excusing themself to go pick what was requested.

and once they're back, the cookies and water are handed over. )

oh, thank you.
is there any occasion ?

( but they take the orange anyway. )

(+) i am from. . . ( what was the name again ? 💭 * ) korea.

south korea, i mean.

( they would have frozen were they not expecting the question, one they have been asked pretty much ever since they had found themselves here.

letting go of her hand, they straighten back up. )

oh, i am not from around here.
(+)

i can't say that i have ever seen anything like this, that is all.

( humming. . . it doesn't seem threatening.
that's good. )

i see, it's a pleasure to meet you, scherie.

( their hand reaches for one of hers, carefully lifting it to kiss the back of it. )

it's a beautiful name.

( blinking a few times at the offered fruit, a polite yet confused smile on their lips. )

for me ?

it's flat, kind of like a pancake. . . but pancakes aren't this wet.

. . . huh.
