i.
[After the events of the maze, Astralin found it a bit difficult to relax. Everything was a bit too overwhelming, and even though he's recovered since then, he's been a bit restless. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any sort of hot springs or spa opened in Aldrip, and he wasn't about to visit the neighboring villages and towns to try and relax. So, as one does, he took it upon himself to use the remaining land that he had now to incorporate a hot springs on his land.
It's busy on the farm again with construction, and despite the citizens of Aldrip being much more... Wary of the chosen, he still managed to find a few of them that would still work with him on the construction. So, you'll find Astralin hovering over the construction with his arms crossed. His focus on some of the construction workers as they begin working on the hot spring. Ready to open it to the public once it was constructed.]
ii.
[After the construction, you'll find Astralin still outside. He isn't relaxing, but instead, honing his magical abilities. The maze has left a scar on him that certainly left him traumatized, and he feels like he needs to practice more to ensure he can keep the people he calls friends here, safe. It's the least that he can do for them, but even then, it seems like his powers didn't have any affect on the illusions when he did try and attack them.
He tries not to let that bother him though, and he focuses on summoning his icicles from thin air. Those icicles being hauled forward and toward their intended targets that he had set up. The whole farm filled with lingering frost that may or may not shift into Aldrip while he practices.]

Yes, the timing is a bit too close. I do have to wonder if they were able to see inside of the maze while we were trapped in there, but I am not sure... Perhaps at some point, we were on full display.
[He doesn't know what happened outside of the maze during that time, so he's just going to take guesses until something rings true.]
I am sure that you can handle yourselves, though. However, just know that I will be there if you ever need my assistance. I will always have my tablet on me, so feel free to reach me by any means necessary.
[Yu was a good kid, and he didn't want to see him hurt.]
Now, enough of the serious talk... Shall we move to the animals and comfort them during construction?
no subject
There's a kindness in Astralin's offer that pulls him away from that train of thought. It reminds him of his uncle, in a way, and a pang of homesickness works its way into his chest.]
... Thank you. Really.
[It-- it means a lot to him. It really does.]
Mm, alright. Does this kind of stuff bother them much?
[He's never had a pet or an animal, so he wouldn't really know.]

[The frown slowly drops, and the corner of his lips curve into a soft smile as they begin to shift subjects, and locations. Now in the barn, where the cows don't seem to be too disturbed, at least. The cows immediately placing their attention on Yu and Astralin, before they start to move toward them to seemingly get food.]
Mmm... Cows do have sensitive hearing, but as long as the workers are not throwing things, then it should be alright. They will retreat if they are scared, but as you can see, they expect food. Fruits, to be exact.
[He points at the basket of fruit out of reach from the cows, that Yu will see on one of the shelves.]
no subject
[Yu's expression mirrors the surprise in his voice. He can't really articulate what about that surprises him, but for some reason, four feels like...a lot...
Though, if he's as good with kids as he is with animals, maybe it's not too much after all.]
I see. So they're food-motivated.
[...
Clearly he's gonna feed the cow. How can he not? It's a thing he's never done before. He loves things he's never done before. (Is he maybe planning to check the bookstore on the way home for farming books?...will neither confirm nor deny.) He grabs an apple out of the basket and holds it out to one of them.]
