No, I do. I'm sorry that you had to experience The City for what it was and... I'm sorry that you turned into a sheep. That was my fault.

[riverbeans]

Oh. Well, honestly, being a sheep wasn't terrible, just very strange?

[applebough]

I didn't mean to...

[ She feels like wailing-- ]

I can't possibly imagine being safe on any level being a sheep in The City.

[riverbeans]

[he waves a hand!! NOOOO YURI DON'T FEEL BAD]

Really, you don't have to worry! I wasn't a sheep until we got out, actually.

[applebough]

[ She would have thought Charles the sheep would have been cute if she wasn't panicking about everyone else. ]

That's... so weird, but... alright.

[ She did not see those kisses. ]

I should put those things in places where I can't reach...

[riverbeans]

[turn him into a sheep again later, yuri]

If it helps you feel any better, I once used an item on someone by accident too.

[applebough]

[ She still does not feel better off of other people's suffering, but she smiles a little. ]

The senior members mentioned that they couldn't do anything about them either, so it really is quite... dangerous. I imagine it would be chaotic if it happened during trial.

[ good thing it can't ]

[riverbeans]

Haha... yeah. Well, I've been told there's one or two items out there in people's possession that, on the other hand, undo the effects, so we do have something if there's ever a true emergency.

[applebough]

[ !! ]

Oh, there are? I didn't think there would be one...

[ But she's so glad. At the same time, she seems a little nervous. ]

[riverbeans]

Yeah, one person told me about theirs. [a beat] You all right there, Yuri?

[applebough]

Oh, um...

[ Hm. ]

I'm keeping one for... self-defense reasons, so if it's able to be undone, I might have some trouble.

[riverbeans]

... Ah. That would be worrying.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. She could be the murderer. Charles could be one too. But she tells him anyway. Charles is so easy to trust despite everything and so easy to talk to... ]

But I got a practice sword too, so I'll be diligent in protecting myself.

Oh, speaking of which... I planted the river bean inside a pot. Could you tell me the details in how to care for it?

[riverbeans]

Ohhh, congraulations—on both things. Sorry we didn't get around to sparring this week, but I'd be up for it next week.

[once he's, uh, recovered a bit.]

River beans aren't high maintenance, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It'll need a lot of water, though.

[applebough]

The water shouldn't be a problem then.

[ She's so glad, because... ]

I haven't tried growing anything before, so I hope it'll go well. Many things happen all the time, it seems... so... it's okay. I've learned that it's hard to make future plans.

[riverbeans]

[he smiles.]

Mm. Even if this one doesn't work, I think there's joy to be found in the act of growing something at all.

[applebough]

I didn't realize that trying to take care of something, even a plant, could feel so... rewarding. It does make me feel better when I look at it, so, I'm glad that I can do something like this.

[riverbeans]

Well, glad I could help, in that case. Maybe you're tapping into your hidden gardening skills, Yuri.

[applebough]

Gardening skills?

[ She could never... ]

How do you feel now, Charles? Should I tend to some of your other wounds?

[riverbeans]

[yuri the gardener... IT'S A CUTE IMAGE]

If you want. You don't have to, though—I'm sure there are others you want to check up on.

[applebough]

Everyone will have my attention eventually. There are others working on them too.

[ Time to get those lighter wounds treated, Charles!!!

We can wrap it up here hehehe ]
