Egret, Late Day 25, Early Day 26 | Healing Car | Open

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel walked into the Healing Car and pulled out a chair. He'd brought some Athelas with him from the Greenhouse car, in case anyone needed it.

He does have training as a healer, but he's also there to cheer people up, chat about whatever, and generally glow about the place, as his aura will boost any natural or magical healing abilities.

[Feel free to call him over or engage in conversation, if you are one of the many people who needs a little patching up.]

Comments

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel relaxed. "Okay, that makes more sense. I had an image of you just...washing that one set of cloths over and over again." He shook his head at his own foolishness. "They set it out for the team doing laundry. I have done this myself."

"Have you wondered how the others were doing their share?" he asked curiously.

[najaran]

She laughed a bit. "Even I don't generally get that dirty that often. Besides, washing that much would wear the clothes out. And the stuff here seems flimsier than what I'm used to. I don't know if they could hold up to a fire spell card..." she said, pulling at her shirt thoughtfully.

"I figured they were doing other things that were needed or just working at other times."

[laurefindil]

He cocked his head a little. "Are your clothes at home fire-resistant?" It wasn't something he personally needed, but the cabin mates of Ifrit might be interested.

"Do you not speak to any of them and ask, 'Hey, when are you doing chores? Want some company?'" She was a bright, interesting, and remarkable person, he was certain she already had several friends on board who would love to spend more time with her.

[najaran]

"A little. I mean, I guess I never really thought about it, till I got here. This stuff doesn't seem like it would hold up very well in combat."

She considered that, then shrugged. "I'm not their master. If they found a way to get out of it, or did it already it isn't my job to make them feel guilty like they have to do more."

[laurefindil]

"Undoubtedly why the train gives us other clothes for the missions," Glorfindel guessed. "So we have the right tools for the right job."

He gave her that look again. "Asking someone to spend time with you, like you did me, is not supposed to be a hardship. Now, if you said, 'hey, Glorfindel, I'm going to be in the Garden Car tomorrow around 10am Train time, do you want to hang out?' I would say, 'I would enjoy that, my friend.'"

[najaran]

"Alright then, I'm going to be in the garden car tomorrow doing chores, would you keep me company and dry the clothes?"

At least she's honest.

[laurefindil]

"I have a counter offer for you. Do you want to go on a Grand Adventure tomorrow and explore the laundry car and try our hand at using the 'washing machine'? Then we can go to the Garden car and I'll dry them for...with you," he said the last with a chuckle.

Very honest. But he's done hand washing and it isn't his favorite.

[najaran]

She laughed a bit. "Alright, but no promises I won't find the old way better."

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel leaned in conspiratorially, "Some times the old ways are better, I admit. But if we don't try the new ways and compare, then people think we are just stuck in a rut and unwilling to try." He shook his head, as if sad.


[Heh, forgot where we were!]

[najaran]

(Back in the healing car after the aborted mission, lol.) She laughed. "Alright, alright, I'll try."

[laurefindil]

[More cuteness or thread wrap? We can do a new thread in the laundry!]

"That's the best attitude, " Glorfindel said admiringly.

Sure! Thanks for the thread, wanna start up the new one for just before the platform?

[najaran]

She gave a smile.

Either is good! Do you want to start or shall I?

[laurefindil]

He reached over slowly, to give her time to duck if she wanted, to gently ruffle her hair.

If you would be so kind?

[najaran]

Another small smile.
