some nebulous time before kid game and after trauma game where things aren't as terrible

[axingnicely]

[ knocking on daffodoor!! ]

[electricflock]

[answering the door!]

Melody?

[axingnicely]

[ offering him some blueberry wine and a fruit parfait!! ]

Good afternoon. May I take a moment of your time?

[electricflock]

[chitters and takes the desserts, HECK yeah]

You can have as much time as you want with gifts like these!

[axingnicely]

Hee hee. I just wanted to make good on our agreement from before, about me visiting for a pleasant reason. Please enjoy.

I was actually wondering if you might be interested in trading? Not for these, these are gifts, but I'd like to try growing more coffee if you've some coffee cherries to spare. I can provide raspberries in return, if you'd be alright with that.

[electricflock]

[chirps, oh! um!]

Am happy to talk trading, but we only got one bag of cherries. Gave half to Thistle, kept rest to plant.

[and muffin ate one like the bird he is]

Can tell you when we get more? Or when our plants start fruiting.

[axingnicely]

Oh... I see. Yes, please do keep me in mind. I have one coffee plant growing now thanks to Thistle, but I would love to try to grow more.

[electricflock]

Will ask you first if we get more. In meanwhile um, we have ground coffee? Is better than what’s in cafeteria.

[…incidentally, there’s a note on the fridge that says “raspberries suck.” it’s in Mute’s handwriting.]

[axingnicely]

Oh, I would love some! Perhaps some rice too, if that's alright?

[ can make wine with it uwu ]

... Ah... are raspberries not popular with some...?

[electricflock]

[glances at the note. chirps, oh.]

That came with some rabbits. How much rice did you want?

[axingnicely]

Some rabbits...?

Ah, would one sack be alright? Along with some coffee? I can bring by two bushels of raspberries.

[electricflock]

Bushel is um, about 50 pounds. Are you sure?

[axingnicely]

[ me forgetting what a bushel is ]

Oh, my apologies... perhaps one bushel for two sacks and some coffee? Is that fair?

[electricflock]

[chirps]

Is okay, just don't want you picking fruit all day...

Haven eaten a lot of our long grain rice, but do have the um, sushi rice leftover from Tanabaata. Is that kind okay?

[axingnicely]

[ she'd probably do that anyway ]

Yes, I think that would be good!

[electricflock]

Okay! And if he's okay with it, Minuet already brings us blueberries every day, so is okay if you want to send raspberries with him pint by pint instead of having to get a ton at once.

[axingnicely]

Hee hee. Perhaps I'll join him on the daily deliveries.....

[electricflock]

Would be a welcome bonus!

[axingnicely]

For me as well.

[ daily muffins!! ]

[electricflock]

[chitters a laugh]

Will look forward to seeing you.
