[ The feed comes up to life and Gwen is by the window, watching the street outside.

Perhaps she is concerned, perhaps she's simply tired. ]

To those who helped me to improve the state of the Civic Gardens for the purpose of a memory headstone, thank you. I don't know if the recent bombings have spoiled our work but -

[ she bites on her lip, clears her throat and turns from the window. ]

I know very little of what I can do for this city. I am a maidservant, not a warrior. I don't have great powers or special skills with a sword but -

I'll help in whatever way I can. A friend of mine once taught me that every action has its significance, as small as it may appear and I suppose it's this knowledge that made him who he was. Is.

[ and she misses him. she was silly to forget that lesson. ]

....I will need more help in the Civic Gardens, if you can provide it. I will be there every afternoon. And if there are any smithies working in the city I would like to speak to them, if it's not too much trouble.

I spend a lot of time in the Gardens. I'll help.

I promise not to break any glasses this time.

[ The boy from Lord Stark's party. A good thing one of Gwen's gifts is remembering names. Not useful in battle, certainly good at this sort of a situation. She smiles, small and honest, inclines her head. ]

Your help will be greatly appreciated, Donny. I hope you're well?

permatext for this goofball.

[bumbles]

( The recently broken nose would be enough of a diversion from video, if his difficulty with speaking weren't already there. He holds onto the opportunity the network gives him to communicate clearly. To communicate without needing to feel more stupid. )

I'm really well, thank you. How are you?

What do you need smithies for?

[affections]

Great powers are overrated, I promise you. Far too much baggage, and I suspect some sort of inherent link to impending or past trauma.

( So light hearted. Flippant, almost. )

Gwen, this sounds an awful lot like work. Work, Gwen.

( Gwen pls. )

[ she won't ask, Jules. She'll just smiles. ]

I suppose it is because it is work but I could use something to keep me busy.

[bodilesswarrior]

[Barbara's voice is both gentle and intent.]

You're here for a reason, even if you're not sure what it is yet.

And it might have nothing to do with fighting, but it can't hurt to learn.

[graciousness]

[ these words do touch her, somewhere deep in her heart and she remembers Arthur, wouldn't he say something alike to this? ]

You are kind to me, my Lady. I - only hope that it will make itself clear to me soon.

[inafadingcrown]

Allow me to offer my assistance with the gardens; I have oft thought myself that we would all benefit from their improvement.

video

[graciousness]

...Of course my Lady.

[ she bows with a smile. An odd thought, someone as beautiful and elegant as her kneeling in the dirt. Gwen almost worries but she doesn't say it. ]

I think you must be right. It would be a place of comfort once we make it more presentable.

[politicking]

[If there's anything she knows, it's that even the smallest gesture can go a long way. Nothing is insignificant. No one is insignificant.

She may not have shown her face on the network just yet, but a gentle smile is there in her voice.]

Your friend speaks the truth.

voice;

[graciousness]

I am certain he would have said it himself were he still here, my Lady. It was made makes him a good leader to our people. Or - will make him a good leader when the time comes.

...which I hope won't be very soon because of his father, I do not wish for it simply -

[ oh gwen. ]

When it'll come.

[quackery]

What kinds of things do you need help with doing there?

video;

[graciousness]

[ well Ahiru, aren't you the cutest thing. ]

Small things, my Lady. Pulling weeds, planting whatever seeds of flowers we have, clearing away everything that does not belong.

ᴀᴜᴅɪᴏ;

[reversemole]

I'll be happy to help.

ᴀᴜᴅɪᴏ;

[graciousness]

It would be appreciated my lord. the Gardens are in a - rather poor state and I am sure that if we only help each other we can make it into a hospitable place in a short while.

[heirwithouthope]

What business would a blacksmith find in this garden of yours?

video.

[graciousness]

Relaxation, my Lord and perhaps some metals? there were many items thrown there, perhaps some of them may be of use. But that is not why I asked after a blacksmith I -

[ she takes a deep breath, tries not to get dragged into her own babbling nature. ]

My father was a blacksmith, my Lord and I have helped him in his work. I know it well, I was searching for a place to work.

[Someone else working in the Gardens? Excellent. Tsubomi is very intent as she smiles into the feed. Her words get faster as she speaks--]

Hello! I'd like to help. Do you have any plans for what to grow? How bad is it, inside? Do we have much variety in the seeds? How far in have you gone?

[A pause, for breath.] ...I'm Tsubomi.

video;

[graciousness]

Oh well, I do, actually. I know little of gardening, my Lady, aside of how to clean a garden, I would not know what to grow there. It is quite bad but not as bad as it was at first, we did clean some of it. I fear there is still much work to be done and seeds to find and more to clean but -

[ the same flow of words, she stops, smiles, curtsies. ]

I'm Guinevere my Lady. But please, call me Gwen.

voice;

[skort]

What kind of help do you need in the Gardens?

voice;

[graciousness]

Cleaning, weeding as some of the weeds there are quite stubborn. When we finish it all, I imagine we would need help finding seeds of new plants to grow there.

[debtor]

[Oh, good, so other Transports have been working at the Gardens!]

I would like to offer my help in improving the Civic Gardens, as well, Miss. Ah... I've only a little experience with gardening, but I can lend a hand to repairs and clearing out debris.

I'm really glad to hear you've been working on it. I think a place like that could do a lot of good here, if it were in better condition.

video;

[graciousness]

Thank you, my Lord. I would love to have your help and even without knowledge in gardening I believe we can do a lot. I have never cared for a garden either, I suppose it is a skill we will learn over time.

-- Gwen!

[ it's an outburst and she smiles, all apologetic and curtsies. ]

My name is Guinevere; but most people call me Gwen.

[khajidont]

I think we need a whole lot more than fighters here. If we didn't have so many volunteers working at the clinics and hospitals last month, we would've been in big trouble. What sort of work are you doing in the gardens?

video

[graciousness]

I suppose we do. I only wish I could have been of greater help; I have become very sick myself but I have thought of the others every day. A truly good thing that we have such kind people here.

We are cleaning the debris my Lord; as well as weeding and planning on what to plant there next.
