you wizards are all the same
always too up in your own head

( too much thinking. )

i'll start sending you plenty
and pull you outside more so you can enjoy what's out there yourself too

( >New Permanent Effect Unlocked: Daily Photographs from Karlach )

[What an excellent new feature!]

Guilty as charged, I'm afraid. Good thing I have you to encourage me to look beyond, hm?

I really haven't been out nearly as much as I ought to, lately. No doubt you've come across all sorts of thrilling sights without me. I look forward to your expert guidance.

[headhunt]

won't stop at just encouragement
i'll drag you out of your study if i must
a little sun and fresh air is good for everyone

tell me something you like about nature

[netherese]

I'm quite fond of the stars.

[Perhaps that's cheating, but—]

Their beauty is unparalleled, and they tell tales older than the worlds they shine down upon. That so many cultures seek to give them significance and meaning in their own right allows those people to preserve their own histories by trusting the stars to tell their stories for generations to come.

( that's a pretty good answer. she'll remember that.

but it's also very gale-like. looking up instead of forward. )

not just saying that because you can see them from the window, are you?

how about this
what do you like better: swimming or laying in the grass?

[netherese]

Oh, I assure you, I'm not. Stars are best viewed out under an open sky, after all.

[He has to pause before he continues his message, giving her message due consideration.]

Though I enjoy both, I would suppose I prefer laying in the grass, especially if it's picnic-adjacent.

[headhunt]

i like the grass too
it was one of the things i missed most while in the hells
lush grass and verdant trees
bright flowers

love the sea
but it doesn't have the same bang as the grass

[netherese]

Why Karlach, that was very nearly poetry.

[He means that!]

If I have anything to say about it, you'll never have to miss it again.
