Who: Astralin and you! Where: Meadowlands, on his new farm. What: Astralin needs help setting up his new farm, anyone is welcome to help out. Warnings: None.
Prompts below! If you want to mingle, feel free to make your own prompts.
[Hmm. There's definitely some history here, but he wasn't one to pry. He doesn't want to be nosy either, since there seems to be some hesitation there, but he doesn't mention it. Instead, he simply says what any Dad would say, and he merely rolls his shoulders to help latch the door onto the hinges.]
I see. I am sure he would be very proud of you; it seems as if you are doing well here at least.
[It's the small victories, even if construction work doesn't seem like a lot. Still, it's honest work.]
I see. I do not mean to pry, but I am assuming that the environment back home is not good?
[Just throwing it out there, since his world has gone to shit, too. Misery loves company and all.]
[she's quiet for a moment, hating how the fact that thinking of Vander always makes her eyes sting. would he be proud of her? she hopes he would, even though she doesn't always think he would be.
she let so much go to hell, after all.
she rubs her nose with the back of her arm, and doesn't comment on his first set of comments. instead, she shakes her head, acting Unbothered about it all. even though it's Vi, and she's pretty bothered by everything all the time.]
"Not good" is probably the understatement of the century. "Gone completely to shit" is probably a much better way of saying it.
[at least that she won't get all emotional saying.]
[Had he known her any better, she would have gotten a headpat here, but he doesn't know her all too well, and instead, he just tries to give a comforting smile. He doesn't know what she's going through, or what even happened back in her world, but it was at least a comforting gesture. So painfully like a father at times, he couldn't help but try and comfort people. Still though, he makes no comment on it, and simple curves his lips into a soft frown.]
I see... I must admit, my world has ah, as you put it... "Gone completely to shit" as well. I take it that it must be different circumstances there, but I completely understand.
[Vi has made him say some funny shit the past 20 minutes they've been working together, and it's honestly funny coming from him. Still, he want to keep their conversation light, and if him being a boomer and saying stupid shit like that will get anything out of them, then he's content.]
[okay. it was kind of funny to see someone that was obviously not used to saying "gone completely to shit" say so. Vi gives him a crooked smile, letting the mood lighten a bit because she's taking it for what it was.
she nods though, and walks to the other door.]
Probably seems like a vacation here then, with a farm and everything. At least, until shit hits the fan here too.
[aaand she'll start picking it up when he's ready.]
[Good. Even if he's a bit emotionally stunted at times, he can certainly tell when the mood needs to be lightened up. He's glad that the air seems less tense, and he focuses back on making sure this door gets properly put on. The construction worker immediately counting down, before signaling to lift, which Astralin lifts up with ease with Vi's help.]
Mm... Yes, I would say so. I do have a farm back home, but it is hard to maintain when there is an assassin or two appearing on the lands in an attempt to kill you. So... I suppose it is a bit of a vacation.
[He does miss his spouses, but he doesn't have to watch his back every second. Not that this place isn't suspicious -- it is, but, for now, it's alright.]

[she trails off for a moment, thinking of Vander. it always brings an ache to her heart to think about him, and right now, a knot in her throat.]
Someone taught me how to use it when I was growing up. I just wanted to follow in his footsteps.
[at the mention of magic though, she tilts her head.]
Y'know, I don't think there's a whole lot of magic back at home. If there is, I don't really see it.

Shall we get the other door on?

Are you faring well here?

[said as if that it's just a normal thing to talk about! even if she does sound moderately amused while the door gets put up.]
I'm hanging in there. A little bored, but what can ya do? At least it's not really bad.
