Hey guys, 's Gladio. Got some new gear that'll make construction easier. And a rain barrel so we can haul a much larger quantity of river water over from Enso. Planning to set up another shower and water filter on the little islands, votes on which one?

And while I've got your attention I wanted to see who'd be up for helping me fix up the temple some. Tory -erm I mean The Storyteller's- been busting their butt looking after us, only feels right we should do something for them. Maybe... trying to make friends with them too, guys. They kinda think we all hate them.

Oh - golly, the poor Storyteller. I would happy to help.

[Although that...seems to be an unpopular opinion? Asgore has nothing against the little god himself, and he's sorry to hear they feel that way.]

[piercetheheart]

[Have an audible sigh of relief. Gods, thank you Asgore.]

Yeah? I don't wanna do too much without their input but at least neatening up the walls and maybe seeing about a roof over part of it. I want to leave it open enough to let that big tree and some of the flowers to keep getting sun and everything but having a little more shelter from the elements might be nice.

[He nods thoughtfully, kinda forgetting that this is not a visual medium.]

It would be best to leave those uncovered, but there are many other types of flowers who would prefer the shade. A roof would not hinder their ability to have more plants later, if they liked.

[piercetheheart]

Yeah. The whole temple has kind of melded in with the jungle around it so I don't want to close it off completely, not when they're so determined to stay there almost exclusively.

[journalname]

That sounds like a nice project. The water filter does as well - it is good of you to take on so much.

[piercetheheart]

Gotta keep busy or I'll go nuts. Besides this kind of thing is... kinda of a weird hobby of mine. Just glad it's coming in handy now.

[journalname]

Oh, yes, I understand. I have always enjoyed gardening, but it had been a very long time since I had to grow food for anyone.

[piercetheheart]

Never had much of a green thumb, myself. Helped my mom out loads when I was little but it was all flowers. Royal gardens, that sorta thing. Nothing that'd be helpful out here y'know?

Glad there's a few folks that're good with it here, at least. You ever seen the set up Mira's got?

[journalname]

Ha - yes, that is normally what I do as well. [Royal gardens specifically, lol] But I have at least a bit of experience with most types of plants.

I have not, no. Does she live around Enso?

[piercetheheart]

So y'know where the shower and filters are on the first little island, the Southern most one? Next to the cottage with the blue door?

[He means Islet #1 on the map)]

She's directly across the mana pool from us.

[journalname]

Oh, yes, I know the place. I shall have to stop by and compare notes sometime. There are quite a lot of plants here that I'm not familiar with - I have never lived in a climate like this one.

[piercetheheart]

's not too different from some of the areas back home. People used to come from all over to see scenes like this at Galdin Quay. It's... kinda nice actually.

Great for growing too, sunshine and rich soil. Just gotta worry about all the salt.
