SCAWWY 😱 totty

Carnations, the flower of many colors. Each color of carnation flower has a separate, definitive meaning. A pale red denotes admiration and the idea that “my heart aches for you,” while dark red conveys feelings of deep love and affection. Pink carnation flower meanings include gratitude and the concept of never forgetting someone. In herbal medicine, carnation is used for treating nervous and coronary disorders. Carnations contain substances that calm the nervous system and reduce inflammation and swelling.

[ seated at the bar of the winery is alfyn! he's got a drink, yes, but it's only maybe had a few drinks taken from it as he sits there with a spread of herbs and a mason jar on the other side from the drink. he's absently grinding herbs with a mortar and pestle until he gets it to the consistency and color that he wants.

he just looks frustrated as he works, and even with his ponytail there's clearly ink that yells losing more people across the back of his neck. but when he hears steps coming down the stairs into the basement, he lifts his head up and looks to see who it is.

seeing todomatsu, he offers a wan, tired smile. ]

... come to take a load off?

[drymonster]

[ ah... yeah, hard to miss that. ]

Yeah, something like that.

[ he'll pour himself a glass and look at everything that's laid out on the counter. ]

Making medicines, huh? Is that all from the cult's garden?

[concoctive]

[ he's trying not to pay attention to anyone's stupid ink, including his own. kind of hard to know it's on his back though. ]

Feels kinda like we're gonna need a lot of it.

[ he goes back to work, deft and familiar, even as they talk. ]

But, yeah, it is. I figure I'll ask Pesti if I can get back into it since... Death was the one that took me, before. Might be nice to figure out some kinda herbal wash for bathin', too.

[drymonster]

I doubt they'd lock you out now if one of them let you in before, especially since... like you said, probably going to need a lot more of it now.

Bath stuff really would be nice too, though... or laundry detergent.

[concoctive]

Yeah, I figure it might be nice to have some extra hands... and Pesti seems nice, themself, so. It'll probably work out.

Dunno what I can do about laundry, but I can see what herbs I can mix together.

[drymonster]

Yeah, they're not too bad.

[ sits down and takes a sip of his sad wine juice ]

Are you going to keep sticking around at the theater, you think?

[concoctive]

[ he's reminded that his sad wine juice exists, reaching over and sort of half-grinding with the pestle since he isn't supporting the mortar anymore so he can grab his cup. ]

Maybe. Might stay somewhere else every now and then, but I don't wanna overcrowd if someone else wants a spot. Just... gonna not be there for a little bit.

[drymonster]

[ nods... he also feels awkward about the overcrowding thing, though it's not about concern for anyone else's comfort so much as concern that he'll be disliked for showing up at places uninvited. it's why he spent the whole week cycling through different sleeping locations, so he wouldn't overstay his welcome too badly in any one place. ]

That's fair.

...Could you bring the barrel back here to the cellar when you have a chance? Camille-san doesn't want to have it there if she's the only one.

[concoctive]

[ good news, past totty, you find a house that's just the right aesthetic... and people keep murdering in the theater, so the desire to stay there decreases day after day.

alfyn does not to that, though, raising his cup up in a dry toast. ]

Got it. Figure these things are easy enough to move, when you've got the muscle, so... if it'll make her feel more at ease, consider it done.
