[Filtered from Seles]

[A rare video feed from Kaneis comes on, partly because one of his roommates had to turn on the tablet. It becomes quickly apparently why- it seems his hands and locks of his hair are tangled up with strips of brightly colored leopard print duct tape. Someone attempted to do home repairs when they knew absolutely nothing about home repair. The background shows one giant hole in the wall about six inches in diameter, just to give you an idea. Allen is next to him, trying to get some of the duct tape off]

Okay okay- I'll ask! Just get me outta this stuff!

[He gives a huff and looks at the camera. He looks rather disgruntled]

Say, does anyone out there know where a person can get a couch? Ours kinda...got wrecked the other day and we can't fix it.

Oh and, stuff to seal up holes in the wall? That'd be good too.

Thanks in- [And then he YELLS "OW" as Allen his roommate pulls a piece out of his hair not so gently]

ALLEN! THAT WAS MY HAIR!

[Transmission end!]

Allen... you're upsetting Kaneis...

[ Or so she thinks. Seeing Kaneis's dejected behavior is further upsetting Sophie, and perhaps turning her even more against Allen. KANEIS LOOKS SO DOWN. ]

I know that two of you are friends now, even if you argue. But don't you want to make that friendship last forever, no matter what?

[Hngnnn ugh. So he's gonna play it this way, huh. What a terrible actor!

But Allen refuses to upset Sophie further, or come off looking like the smaller man here, so he soon holds out his left hand to Kaneis, palm down. His smile turns bright (daring.)

Even if Kaneis doesn't back down, it would be fine if they can get away with just this much!]

Ah, it's a good point. All right.

[Allen he put his soul in a rock to prove false loyalty to a group, do you really think he's above holding his hand to please Sophie?]

[The answer is NOPE. So he is so reaching his hand over to take Allen's...tenderly]

Aha, about time Allen!

[Looking over at Sophie]

So what now?

video; I CAN'T TELL IF THIS IS VIDEO OR ACTION ANYMORE

Then you carve your names on a tree. [ She turns in a circle, looking around at the apartment. Of course, there's no tree here, but after what Flora told her about carving on trees... ] Maybe it's okay to carve your names on the wall.

WHO KNOWS;

[debtor]

[Tenderly? UGH. But whatever, Kaneis's hand-touching is easy enough to tolerate.

He. Might have to put his foot down at wall-carving. As gently as he can:]

We're trying to repair the walls right now, I don't think we should be marking them up anymore...

ITS A MYSTERY;

[wilder]

[Oh thank the goddess an actual opportunity to reject]

Yeah...Asch would pitch a fit if we carved up the wall he's supposed to fix.

ACTION VIDEO;

[blossomgale]

Then we have to find somewhere else to carve your names. I don't think we can use a tree anymore... it hurts them. [ She says it like this is some new and shocking thing for her... because it is. Asbel never told her about the hurting trees part!!! ]

TEXT;

[debtor]

[Wait... what?

He's no botanist, but he's pretty sure trees can't feel pain. Or, uh, anything.]

How does it hurt them...?

SMOKE SIGNALS;

[wilder]

[he shrugs at Allen's question; like he knows. Other than stuff he needed to be a healer, like he paid attention to biology in school]

FIRE WORKS;

[blossomgale]

I don't really know... but Flora told me. Did you know? She can hear plants!
