If anyone is interested in having food for their ships, I've been growing some of the vegetables that were provided at the stations. Unfortunately, I now have too many on hand, and they're becoming difficult to store. I'd appreciate if others would be willing to take some for their own ships.

[ A pause, then: ]

That is all.

It is a good thing, though I'm running out of space for them. I'd rather give them away than have to worry about them rotting.

I don't have soil, but I grew them in water.

[ It's a lie, but more believable than "I grew them with magic." ]

[torsion]

Fair enough.
I'd like some, then, if you don't mind. I'll owe you one for it?
They were root vegetables, though, right?

I've heard stranger.

[ Magic would also be weird, but it's not something she's sure she could completely wrap her mind around. Not quite yet, anyway. ]

[amarant]

You won't owe anything. You're doing me a favor by taking some of them, honestly.

[torsion]

I'm not sure I think it's alright calling it even, though.

[amarant]

If you feel the need to repay it somehow, I won't stop you. But I won't think it necessary, either. I've simply had a lot of free time lately.

[torsion]

I don't like feeling like I owe people, even if it's a feeling that isn't shared.
There's a lot of free time in this place, isn't there?

[amarant]

I understand that.
It is true-- when everything runs itself, there's little for anyone else to do.

[torsion]

Frustrating, really.
It wouldn't be so bad if there were books or games or something to occupy my time other than a treadmill.
I mean I can make due for weights and a punching bag, but I'd like a little more variation.

[amarant]

I'd like to have books, too. Maybe the next planet would have some.
