Well. I think it can be a little better than it is now. I'm pretty confident in that. We're still working it out, but I think we can get it to settle down and be a bit more comfortable for you.
Beyond that, I wouldn't say I've got any big plans. And if I did, it would be kind of pointless. [...] I like to think of the prism a little bit like this garden. I can encourage the things I plant to grow a certain way. But I'm not going to make a tree sprout diamonds. That's not what it does, that's not what it wants to do.
[they think about this question for a long time, while they summon a teapot and two cups (one cracked with a floral pattern and one with green polka dots) to their hands.]
...I might like to try growing watermelons. Never been good at melons.
[ sometimes you're happy being where you are, sometimes where is melons and that's okay. First, he takes a taste sip... Is there.... sugar.... or honey on this table....... ]
Do you have recipes in mind using watermelon? I had heard grilled is a treat. [ Hm. ] Where did you foster your love for gardening, Lord Shale?
Can't remember. Always liked it. It just feels right. I can do some work and help something grow that's going to be beautiful and useful. But parts of it are out of my hands, and I like that, too. There's something to be surprised by.
[as for the watermelons...]
Good in a salad. Good in a soup, too. Some people like sweets, and it works for that.
In a soup as well? Interesting... Should I find an opportunity, I will put that to the test. [ Hm. ] You're privy in culinary arts, so I had wanted to ask whom you learned from as well.

[ because tbh similar ]
Then do you have any personal goals? Perhaps events or activities to anticipate. It does not need to include matters of the Prism.

'Tis been many summers since I've had watermelon... In current Ishgard, it would freeze.

It's a good goal. Something to work on for the future. Always nice to have.
[but bigger aspirations, apparently not.]

[they really have to think about that...]
I think I'm self taught. Just a little experimenting over time.
