[Chiron is in such a good mood that he's not even moving, he's just laid out on the ground with his head pressed into the soil, half-dozing]

[robopriest]

Hey, Chiron...

[Just reaching over to gently brush through his hair.]

That isn't a good place for sleeping, you know...

[antaressnipe]

Mm? Why not?

[With a faint smile at that brush to his hair. Listen, his soul feels freer outdoors, this is fine.]

[robopriest]

Well, you're going to get dirty.

[He clicks his tongue lightly, but its more amused than actually chiding.]

But I guess if you're relaxing, it doesn't matter.

[antaressnipe]

I bathe everyday, you know. It is fine.

[... In what bathroom, sir]

[robopriest]

...

I didn't know the bathrooms were that large...

[antaressnipe]

They're not, but the river works nicely as long as I have cleansing products with me.

[robopriest]

Oh, I see. Do you, uh, ever need help?

[WITH HIM. NOT KNOWING HIS BODY THAT WELL]

[antaressnipe]

No, that is not necessary.

[...]

Though for some reason it takes longer than usual, but I...

[Looking confused again, closes my eyes]

[robopriest]

...Well, you do have a lot of, uh, ground to cover.

[Just. Saying.]

[antaressnipe]

[... He looks behind him and stares for a beat]

Hansa, answer me honestly.

How many times have I looked behind me and been surprised?

[robopriest]

..................

Well, more than once?

[antaressnipe]

[HE'S LOSING YEARS OFF HIS LIFE AT THE TWO ANSWERS HE GOT]

... I apologize for the inconvenience to both of you.

[chanteuser]

A least three times a day, Archer.

[ blunt. ]

[chanteuser]

[ the happiest pony is here in this garden tonight. ]

[antaressnipe]

[INDEED, his boss isn't dead and everyone's spirits are doing well.

Though he hears Alex moving about and cracks an eye open]

Alex, whatever are you doing?

[chanteuser]

[ alex's cat just comes right over to him and curls up next to him. relief? relief is here tonight. ]

Looking for flowers.

[antaressnipe]

Flowers...?

[He'll lift his head for that, and reach over to scratch at the ears of Alex's cat while he does so]

[chanteuser]

Yup. Flowers.

[ the cat purrs. ]

We're still going to be pretty useless for a bit, so... might as well do soemthing simple to pass the time.

[antaressnipe]

Are you looking to make a new set of bouquets for us?

[chanteuser]

No, I was thinking of maybe flower crowns? It's a bit more... uh... intricate, so it might take my mind off the "feeling bad" thing.

[antaressnipe]

Mmm.

Might I... assist? I do not know if I've ever made them before, but...

[chanteuser]

Neither have I. But figuring it out would be half the fun, right?

[ time to all make flower clowns and not think about the fact they're poisoned. ]

[antaressnipe]

[Well in that case, he will finally move so he's settled closer by her, and reach out for a few flowers of his own]

Shall we divide the work?

[chanteuser]

[ she hands some over to him, keeping the split of the flowers pretty even between the two of them. ]

We'll get more done quicker that way, yeah.
