Mission Twenty Two

[triela]

Would you be willing to teach me how to paint? It looks like an enjoyable way to pass the time.

Once the weather gets warmer, I wonder if anyone would be interested in starting a garden? Two of my friends back home tended a garden and they seemed to enjoy the work.

"A garden? What's that? One of your... your, uh mundane human hobbies?"

[Dictated.]

[triela]

It can be mundane, but the plants grown in gardens can be used for a variety of things.

[mom_to_us_all]

I'd like to help.

written back :)

[triela]

Great! We'll have to pick out a great spot outside.

[mom_to_us_all]

Sure thing! What kind of garden do you have in mind?

[triela]

I don't know. Maybe a vegetable or herb garden? I know we can ask for whatever we want, but I think it would be more satisfying if we grow it ourselves.

[mom_to_us_all]

Do you like turnips?

What do you mean we can ask for whatever we want?

[triela]

I mean that if you say, "May I have some turnip seeds", the castle will give them to you.

[and of course while she's writing she's given a package of turnip seeds]

[mom_to_us_all]

For real?!

[Tries this! The castle gotta understand her, right? Yes, it does, and this is how the room is suddenly filled with many, many cherry cakes~

Triela might be able to hear the sound that a wolf makes when gobbling cherry cakes...

Scribbled super fast:] That's amazing!

[triela]

Yes, it is.

[mom_to_us_all]

This place isn't that bad.

[triela]

Most of the time it's nice, but now and then it can get very bad.

[mom_to_us_all]

How so?

[triela]

Dangerous things can happen here. You may have to fight.

[mom_to_us_all]

I can fight.

[triela]

That's good to hear.

[mom_to_us_all]

Should I assume you do as well?

[triela]

Yes, I do.

[mom_to_us_all]

That's good.

[triela]

So Ammy, what else should we grow besides turnips?

[mom_to_us_all]

Marrows, onions, ...rice? What would you like?

[triela]

How about some herbs? Or fruit?

[mom_to_us_all]

Watermelons!

[triela]

Yes! Watermelon sounds good.

[mom_to_us_all]

Did you grow bored of asking things to the castle?

[triela]

No. I just thought it would be a good way to spend the time.

[mom_to_us_all]

Sounds like a very good way to do so.

[triela]

Yes, my friends always looked like they enjoyed it.

[mom_to_us_all]

Are your friends here too?

[triela]

No, but they may come. My friend Rico was here once before.

[mom_to_us_all]

Well, we better work hard in that garden for when they come around.

[triela]

Sounds like fun.

[peeta_bread]

[He might sound a little bewildered when he answers.]

I... me? I've never taught anyone before.

Peeta

[triela]

But I've seen you paint, and you're very good.

Triela

[peeta_bread]

I've only been painting for a year. If you want a really good teacher, you should probably ask Nora or something.

But, I mean, I'd be happy to do it! Just... I don't know how good I'll be!

Peeta

[triela]

It's worth a try.

Triela

[peeta_bread]

Yeah, definitely. Okay, I'll do it. What do you think? Lessons once a week?

Peeta

[triela]

Okay.

[too_fairytale]

I'd be interested in a garden. Just flowers and stuff, though.

[triela]

Flowers might be nice.

[too_fairytale]

Were you thinking about a--a food garden?

[triela]

I don't know. I think any kind of garden would be fun.

[too_fairytale]

Well, you can definitely count me in. My name's Amy.

[triela]

Pleased to meet you. My name is Triela.
