Soft shoes, Yuri. Soft shoes. You are the Lord of the underworld, aren't you?
[Claude was sure he didn't have to remind the other man, but it was still fun to tease him from time to time.]
I'll get some tea prepared. I just finished drying out the first batch of herbs I grew. I'm going to have to start that garden all over again. What's the greenhouse look like at the Monastery?
Always, but those torches have a way of throwing a man's shadow. When another man's particularly paranoid, it's a special sort of challenge.
[ He'll never forgo heels, but he's nigh silent in them anyway. ]
Might be prudent to prepare some arrows too. Don't know what his resistance is like, but if it's anything close to yours or mine, we've got our work cut out for us... Don't know how our hosts did it, but the greenhouse looks just as it should, rare plants and all. Help yourself right to it.
Fair point. I'm surprised he doesn't just lurk around in the dark.
[Perfect! He could probably do some rearranging, maybe even expanding to include new plants. This place seemed pretty flexible and he could have sworn he saw something called a hardware store that had so many useful supplies.]
How do they manage anything around here? I'll come prepared. I found a store that sells hunting stuff. I might see if I can pick up a simpler bow. I don't really want to shoot him with Failnaught if I can avoid it.
Small mercies, right? Can't complain if he leaves the lighting alone.
[ Although if it were dark, that'd be to his advantage really. ]
Yeah, let's forgo Relics. Pretty sure what the stores don't have here, they'll provision if you ask one of those automated aides. Mostly, anyway. I'll make us some sweets so it's a proper teatime.

You bring the treats, I bring the tea. I have a pot and some cups. They're nothing fancy, but I think he might like it better that way.

Inclined to agree. Frills aren't his thing, or any Faerghan's really, if they've got the heart of one.
