064. Down By the Seaside

[samson]

[Dictated somewhat lazily.]

Alright, I haven't mentioned this in awhile and with the like... revolving door policy the castle likes to do, figured I should say something. Name's Brock, I have a little bit of land sort of southwest of the castle, off the main road to the city.

There's a community garden there if you don't feel like wishing for food or paying the townspeople with fake magic money. Which I totally get, by the way; it feels a little, uh... dishonest. Anyway, the garden's there for anybody who wants to use it. Just don't take everything without putting some work in too, alright?

I got a greenhouse too, in case you want to grow something out of season. There's also a smokehouse but I don't want anybody putting weird mystery meat in there so that's sort of off-limits, okay?

That's about all I wanted to say.

[A pause. Apparently he remembered something else, so--]

Oh, uh, if you see a little dude around the garden, that's just Frodo. So don't scare him or anything. He works for me.

[Vereesa.]
Hey. I'm guessing you went with everybody on that expedition, right? You back yet?

[samson]

Heck of an irony.

[the_effect_she_has]

I find too much of this place is ironic...

[samson]

You and me both.

[the_effect_she_has]

Thank you, for your help.

[samson]

Yeah, no problem. Just be safe out there.

[Also --] Uh, what's your name, anyway?

[the_effect_she_has]

Katniss. Katniss Everdeen. [She pressed her lips together.]

[samson]

Alright. Be safe out there, Katniss.

[the_effect_she_has]

You too ... ah, Brock. Right?

[samson]

Yep, that's me. Anyway, come by the garden any time you want. It's pretty much open 24/7.
