[Open] Plant your hope with good seeds
Who: Anders and Anyone (with one closed prompt for Fenris)
Broadcast: No
Action: The Three Twins clinic, the greenhouse, Malum and Planetside
When: Todayish/this weekish
Clinic
[Generally, Anders preferred to spend his time in his clinic, making sure all the equipment worked, making sure everything remained clean and sanitary, making sure all of his supplies were stocked, all the while happy to wait around in case anyone needed him.
Since arriving at the planets and spreading his time between the clinic and Hawke, he'd been there less often. Usually, only stopping in to do his usual checks and watering the rows of medicinal herbs he had potted in the back of the clinic. He'd hang around for a little while during this, but always made sure the little note he'd made forever ago was out in case someone needed healing and came looking for him while he was gone. The communicators made that part easy, at least. How much less stress would he have had in Kirkwall if he could have simply let his patients contact him through a communicator when they needed him and he was away?
Well, it didn't matter, it wasn't worth thinking about.
As he went through his usual routine, movement by the door caught his attention from the corner of his eye, his focus on the plants he was tending to.]
Come in! What can I help you with?
Greenhouse
[He had his plants in his clinic, but there were versions kept here as well and, though he trusted Hermione to set up spells and things to tend to the plants whether he was there or not, he still enjoyed stopping by to do it himself when he could. The only thing from the circle he ever missed was the herbology he could do within those walls.
Kirkwall had limited what he could do with so few supplies and no potion was needed more than elfroot anyway, so it hadn't allowed for a whole lot of creativity. But now they had their seedlings, growing healthy and rapidly under the care he and Hermione provided and he looked forward to being able to do more again.
Anders spread a hint of creation magic on the plants, ones he was personally invested in and the others, just to help them grow strong, his hands glowing a little blue as he cupped them around the sprouts. A sound from nearby soon drew his attention and pulled him from the plants for further investigation, however.]
Is someone there?
Planetside
[These planets and moons aren't nearly as relaxing as the last one, but Anders finds himself enjoying it more anyway. There's plenty to see and explore, all the faction stuff aside and each one held their merits on things to experience. There were places nature still ran rampant that he still found relaxing, the busy streets of the main city held shops and entertainment at every corner and Spirit's library and meditation moon offered all the peace and research Anders might want.
The library especially was something he continued to visit at least once a day, combing through what books on magic and spirits it had to offer, especially once Hawke could no longer come with him.]
Malum
[At first, he'd been spending a lot of time at the bar, certainly more than he'd spent before he'd woken up older, mostly due to the fact Hawke worked there. Now it was nearly habit to show up whenever Hawke worked.
That included today when Hawke should have been working but wasn't because he'd been an idiot and gotten caught cheating the system. He loved Hawke with every fiber of his being, but he was really far less than impressed with his partner's ability to land himself in trouble. Especially when Anders had told him it would blow up in his face.
So now he was at Malum, wishing again he could simply get drunk enough to not think about the fact Hawke was stuck alone in a cell for the next foreseeable future and all this 'competition' might entail. He ordered a drink anyway and sat staring at it.]
Maybe, just this once, you'd make an exception?
[He kept his voice quiet, hoping no one would overhear him ostensibly talking to himself, but still hopeful his Spirit friend would give him a break for one night and let the alcohol muddle his head a bit.
He wasn't going to hold his breath on it.]
For Fenris
[Even with Vash working at the Space Bar now and Hawke in Jail, Anders still generally stuck to Malum and not the Space Bar, he likely wouldn't have set foot in there at all tonight, if it was left up to him. Unfortunately, it wasn't.
Ser-Pounce-A-Lot, in his curious kitten ways, had slipped away from Anders almost as soon as they'd stepped abord the Iskaulit and thoroughly lost the mage for the time being.
The small orange ball of fluff strode into the bar like he owned the place and began poking around at anything and everything that drew his attention. Eventually, that attention fell on the elf that worked there and Pounce made quick work of scaling his outfit to find a spot on Fenris' shoulder.
This was fine, right?]

[No he's not, unfortunately. His hallucinations usually involved far more death and blood and darkspawn with the occasional Templar. If he was truly hallucinating then this would be a fine change.
He watched her bat at it and the wisp jumped up, pulsating in it's giddiness at the playing but then swirled around her head, aiming to bump into her ears in it's curiosity.]
Wisps don't see our world very often, they're very curious about their surroundings.
To continue with my line of probably foolish sounding questions: are you a fox that can talk or a person who can turn into a fox?
no subject
I'm not human, if that's what you're asking.
[That's a perfectly fine answer, right? Right. It isn't the worst one, though it's certainly vague.]
no subject
[The wisp dodges the snap of teeth, but it doesn't quite react fast enough to prevent being pinned to the ground. At least until it slipped through her paws and up higher, dashing back to hover around Anders as though hiding.
He held his hand out to it and let it float peacefully there.]
Why are you trying to destroy my garden? And why didn't you simply speak up sooner? It would have made things a lot easier from the get-go.
no subject
I like to dig. And I didn't feel the need to.
[There's a shrug in her voice. She's helpful.]
no subject
For a talking fox, you're not very chatty.
May I know your name?
no subject
[She'll trot back over, sniffing at his foot.]
It's Renart.
no subject
[There were some he certainly wished practiced it more.]
It's a pleasure, Renart. My name is Anders.
[He doesn't move when she comes to sniff him, considering her less than favorable reaction when he tried to reach to her before. She'll probably smell Clinic and Cat and Dog since that's what covers his clothing 90% of the time.]
You know, if you like to dig, I could simply set up an area for you to dig to your heart's content. Maybe even plant a few useless things if destroying roots truly entertains you.
no subject
Good to meet you.
[Dog isn't her favourite scent, for obvious reasons. Cats aren't so bad, though. The clinic smell is one she's indifferent towards.
She perks her head up at the offer, looking pleased.]
You could do that?
no subject
Sure! Give me a few days to build it and set it up and I'll let you know when it's finished. Is there a particular place you'd like me to put it?
no subject
Anywhere here would be lovely. A sign might be useful, so that other people realize it belongs to me.
no subject
You've got it, Renart. I'll make a sign and everything. Seems only a fair trade to spare my herbs and let you have your fun.
What ship do you stay on, out of curiosity?
no subject
[It's going to be so cute.]
I'm on the Heron. What about you?
no subject
I'm on the Three Twins, I'm the medic there.
In case I can't reach you for whatever reason, I'll be sure to leave a note.
no subject
Alright. I do use my communicator on occasion, so that is fine.
