If it wasn’t built for it, it might damage the building. Gustave could figure out drainage in a heartbeat, I’m sure, but who knows if he wants to return to his aquafarming days.

[maellum]

[Oh. Right. Drainage... see, this is why Sciel would be the lead on this project.]

Are you saying you think he'd say no?

[cache_coeur]

No, just that he’s Gustave. It would be alright if he wanted to do something new, instead of reinventing what’s already been done.

[maellum]

I think his feelings might be hurt if we didn't at least ask if he wanted to be involved. At least a little.

[cache_coeur]

Don’t worry, we’re going to ask. He’ll probably say yes.

[He loves the gardens so much, after all, perhaps more than any of them.]

But he wouldn’t be Gustave if he didn’t have a hundred projects on the go :) We may need to rope in Lune to keep him focused.

[maellum]

I've been wondering how long it will take for his work area to turn into a work room.

Only if Lune agrees. That's hard work.

[cache_coeur]

A few months, if we’re lucky. But whenever he takes on his own bedroom, he can clutter it up however he likes.

[maellum]

[Why did you have to say it like that, Sciel! Maelle feels the embarrassment slam into her like a wave.]

Just as long as there's a path in to remind him to eat.

[cache_coeur]

[Sorry about it, kiddo.]

Doable, I’m sure. Otherwise the floor will give in!

[maellum]

Hope no one lives below us.

So, what's first? Patio, painting, or garden?

[And she will document it all with her CAMERA!]

[cache_coeur]

Let’s do the painting! I’ll figure out what flowers we can even find here in the meantime. You ask Lune what colour she wants and we’ll do hers after.

[maellum]

Your idea, of course.

[cache_coeur]

Ours, Maelle!

[maellum]

Ours if she likes the idea!

[cache_coeur]

[A pause to laugh.]

Deal.

[maellum]

She said she might write notes on the wall. We decided this just in time.

[cache_coeur]

Notes? On the wall?

I’m starting to think we should have a second apartment just for “work.”

[maellum]

Just for Gustave and Lune. They can write on the walls and windows. Ceilings, if they want.

[cache_coeur]

They’re both going to have irreparably stiff necks if we let them do that.

[maellum]

Making them stretch can be your work.

I'll supervise.

[cache_coeur]

I do think convincing either of them to take care of themselves is about as difficult as inventing a Lumina converter, so we'll see how well that goes!

[maellum]

I don't have the threat of Emma to use here, either.

I bet you could pick them both up.

[cache_coeur]

One at a time, most likely. But what am I doing with them, then? Hauling them off to meditate?

[maellum]

Is forced meditation a thing? It could be a thing.

[cache_coeur]

We could invent it. Or we'll just have more late nights with a few bottles of wine.
