[ She struggles still to speak to new people, to get to grips with being social- things she needs to do in order to keep the farm running. Without the help of her friends, she thinks she’d crumble entirely. ]
my favourite crop is the tea. i help it to grow, and it does well. you may drink some when you visit, if you’d like, though i assure you there is no good or bad time to visit. as i said, i sleep little, and do not often need it. i will be here.
And my favorite hobby is enjoying a fine cup of it every so often. So, if that’s the case, I’d be more than happy to bring along a few snacks for a proper tea party. Do you have any preferences when it comes to sweets?
As for the gift, I was thinking of something fishing-related—a new type of rod he might enjoy learning to use, perhaps? After a little back and forth, I’d like to make the pond my own small contribution to the farm, especially since Mr. Dedue mentioned his fondness for fish recipes. Beyond that, there’s the usual handwritten thank-you card and a few treats, of course.
May I ask if there’s a type of gift you’re especially fond of as well, Miss Lauralae?
you may take your pick of the blends, in that case, and take some home with you. that seems more than appropriate for all the hard work you have offered us thus far.
he would enjoy something practical. dedue does not do well when he is idle, i think, and he does enjoy feeling useful. any gear you can provide for him would be more than welcome.
I might just take payment in tea leaves when you put it like that. Still, I appreciate the motivation to keep doing a good job. If there’s ever anything the farm needs, just say the word—I’ll do my best to handle the dull and persnickety parts of running a business.
Although, I’ll be sure to rope in some of the other farm staff for a few of the more fun projects I’ve been thinking about, too—including Mr. Dedue, now that I’ve got a better idea of what he’s fond of.
And I’d like to know what you enjoy as well, Miss Lauralae. No pressure, though. Only if you feel like sharing.
