[...]
No. Not at all.

Excellent! I'm the furthest thing from patient so I appreciate you humoring me.

I don't think it's humoring you if I'm looking forward to it! To be fair.

Then I must've made a pretty good first impression. You seem very [...] sweet!

You did. [...] I
Did you think you hadn't?

It's not that. I think very highly of myself, but I'm not for everyone.

[...] Well. I don't know you very well. But I think you're kind and confident and kinda funny. And those are all good things. So people are probably missing out.

I am kind, just not very nice. People tend to prefer the latter. I'm glad you got to see the better side of me. [...] Anyway! Not to get too deep!

Sure! Sorry.
[...]
Any recommendations at the coffee shop? I haven't been there yet.

You don't need to apologize.

I'm told the lavender oat milk latte is to die for, but my tastes tend to skew away from sweet. The black coffee is surprisingly good!

[...] Mine do too, honestly. Maybe I'll follow suit!

It's kind of a shame. The sweet ones are always more memorable.

They really are. I can't tell you how many times I walked around campus with a pink drink as an accessory. Dreadful taste but so cute.

Exactly! Kind of unfair.
I knit myself a cute thermos holder when I was in university, but it just wasn't the same.

That's SO adorable. I'm obsessed!

We do what we have to do! Right? It's a cuteness wasteland out here.

I wish I could make things like that.

I can show you the basics sometime if you want. I'm not an expert or anything, but I've taken a few classes.

That would be really lovely. Maybe in return I can teach you a thing or two about the garden—if you'd be interested in something like that?

I'd like that! I've never worked in a garden before. But it seems rewarding.

There's something so special about seeing a garden bloom and knowing you had a hand in it. It really strengthens your connection with the world around you.

That sounds [...] really nice.

Are there plants there that're just yours? Or are they all communal?

I wish I had my own garden here, but it's all communal. Which is still better than not having anything at all.

I think a communal garden sounds nice in a lot ways, though. Like, that strengthening your connection with the world around you aspect is just [...] expanded to strengthen your connection with your community too?

But I get wanting your own too. Maybe you could put together one of those little windowsill gardens that people have? For herbs and little flowers and things? It's not the same, but it'd be something that's just yours. [...] But you've probably already thought about that, huh?

Sometimes I overlook the people aspect, so it's good to be reminded of it. Your outlook is [...] refreshing.

I actually hadn't put much thought into something like that, if only because of being uprooted from the station almost as soon as I got settled in. But now that you mention it...

Just a thought. That's all! But [...] I'm glad it's helpful.

Maybe something to consider then! Just a mini-garden all for yourself. Plus, you'd get to buy some of those cute little pots!

[...] You got here just before that 'blip' thing, then?
