[ ...

Yuri merely looks down at her pot with soil before raising her head up again. ]

Nodd, I have something for you. Could you come here?

[murdergate]

[ pausing, because this could be going so much worse, but what the heck(s)? he approaches. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri pulls out a bulbous plant root. It's pink! ]

If you bite on this root, you'll be calm for a while. It's bitter, but it looks like you're struggling about something, so maybe this should help...

[murdergate]

[ a few blinks. blink blink blink. holds out hand to take it. inspects up close. sniffs. looks at yuri again.

bite this? the pink root? ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. }

Yes, go on.

[murdergate]

[ is this how he dies? that's okay. nodd bites. ]

[applebough]

[ Nodd will now feel very calm for the next 30 minutes! All you feel is calm. No bite, no regret, nothing. Just head empty and calm. ]

... Do you feel better?

[murdergate]

[ shuts his eyes. big, long sigh. opens then closes mouth. nods instead. ]

[applebough]

I'm glad.

[ Yuri looks back down at the pot she still has on her lap. ]

You can sit next to me if you'd like. Standing while waiting for the machines to finish will make your feet sore.

[murdergate]

[ SHE'S SO CUTE. AHHHH.

the pleasantly forced calm down help nodd think through his response. ]

I'm very busy today. Lots on the ol' agenda.

[ ... willing to abandon his clothing to preserve what's left of this cr. ]

[applebough]

You can come back for your clothes later. They won't go anywhere.

[ ... ]

... I'll keep watch if that helps any.

[murdergate]

[ racking his mind, doing his very best, but nodd can't figure out how to outwit his current circumstances. ]

You--you are... I am... yes. Okay. I am fantastic at expressing gratitude. Really natural about it.

[ smile. pleading in his eyes. ]

[applebough]

Yes, you're good at it.

[ She says simply, genuine. ]

I'll be here, so go on.

[murdergate]

[ nodd leaves, utterly defeated.
