[shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair, tired. he cloaes his eyes for a second and tries to run through his very extensive list of things to do and pick out if anyone from Rose is involved in them]

Aides had the most projects with them, as far as I know. I don't have any with Rose at the moment.

I spoke with Aides first, and then Ananke. Aides said that he isn't keen on giving what he built to Rose anymore but doesn't know what to do with them. If you have any ideas, I'm all ears.

Ananke kicked Pond Fiend after Pond Fiend said he didn't think about Aides at all, and was motivated by spite.

... I personally can't disapprove of that action.

[just smiles a little at Ananke's response]

Good for him.

Mm...we could just keep Aides's stuff. Wasn't it pretty useful? Or we could see if anyone on Daffodil is interested in it.

I think so. I'd personally love the seed press, I could use some oils instead of beeswax for stabilizers. ... but ultimately, it's his choice.

I am thinking of giving what I was originally giving to Rose to Daffodil, though. While we already have Crois as an ally there, we aren't as close with them as we'd like.

If you tell him you'd like the seed press I bet he'd give it to you. And I'm sure Daffodil would take whatever you want to give them.

( wave wave. )

It could also be a community press. A clear sign of "no, we will not stop what we're doing because we were betrayed, eat shit".

Making it a communal item would mean Rose would still use it, wouldn't it?

I know Aides can feel it when someone is intercepted by the barrier. Maybe something like that can happen.

But yes - it's not a perfect solution. I do like the idea of fielding it at Daffodil or keeping it at Lily, and if we keep it at Lily, I have no problems working with Aides to lend it out.

It's Aides's stuff, so I'm fine with whatever he wants to do with it.

Alright.

Is there anything else you wanted to add for Rose? Concerns, questions, limitations?

No...? Are you like, giving them a list of demands or something?

Usually a trade embargo has a clause that if "this, this, and this" is met it can be lifted or lessened.

... so yes, essentially.

It's not a trade embargo, though. They're just the people that live next door. We don't have a written contract or any kind of initial agreement in place. I wasn't expecting it to be anything formal.

That's why we're laying down rules. Clearly the unspoken agreement of "we do no harm" isn't working, so we must outline what we need from each other.

It won't be a closed discussion, I'll be asking Rose's opinion and how to handle things going forward.
