[ Golbez isn't particularly upset, but he is the sort who always looks perpetually grumpy. He stares in surprise when the girl hands him a flower. ]
...that's very kind of you, thank you. [ To keep it or not to keep it? Well, she seems happy enough to be giving them out, so... ] Did you say you've read that humans do this?
It's no problem! After what happened, I think everyone needs something to cheer them up a bit.
I did! I'm not usually human. I only look like one because of this place. I'm still unfamiliar about human interactions, but I saw that this is a common thing to do. Perhaps I was wrong though?
[ Interesting. Of course, looking human is no guarantee that she is human... but if she isn't supposed to look human but does, that says even more about the power the people in charge of this town wield. ]
No, you were right. It's common where I'm from, at least. [ Even if he's never actually given or received any. ] If you don't mind -- if you aren't human, what are you?
Oh goodie! I must be getting better at this then. It's kind of fun to learn all these new things. I would be happy if this place had ruins though. Excavating was one of my favorite things to do.
Oh. But wouldn't skipping while holding a rope be the same as just skipping without one? I didn't know humans needed a rope to help them skip. [Not getting it...] A bolo? What are those like?
Usually, yes - but when seen as a toy, it rarely has a function. However, sometimes it's used as a training technique for agility and cardiovascular health.
[ Ilsa smiles, ] There's ways to use anything as a tool. It just takes looking at it from another angle.

[Not expecting a teenage girl to offer her flowers, of all things, Hawke is a little startled - but she accepts it, regardless, because okay that is kind of cute.]
That is a thing that humans do, yes, though it's not always flowers. [she grins] This isn't something your... people do, I take it?
[She shakes her head.] Back home, people weren't as peaceful and welcoming. We lived by a strict hemospectrum too, and I was pretty much at the bottom.
The fun thing about gifts is that you can give someone just about anything... within reason, of course. Don't go handing out wyvern dung or dead flowers; that wouldn't be very cheery at all. [she pauses thoughtfully] I have a friend back home, a pirate captain - didn't have a ship, though. An actual boat is a bit outside my budget, so I found a miniature one instead. She loved it. It's the thought that counts, I suppose.
...Hemospectrum? [The term is a foreign one to her, but the context can help her try to make a guess at it:] Some sort of caste system?
I understand. I don't think I can give bigger gifts yet. Maybe when I learn more, I'll figure out how to make better gifts. The mother unit of my hive wants me to bake with her. Maybe I should partake in it.

I'm a troll!

That's because it wasn't made to be a whip. It's a skip-rope. Two of them tied together in the middle make a passable bolo, though.
[ Ilsa, what kind of childhood did you have? ]

[Of course she doesn't find it weird.]

Oh yes. I understand that though. Just awhile ago I was told that chopsticks and bottles could make wonderful music!

Uh, thankth.
[Shouldn't he be the one giving flowers to her?]

Your welcome!
[You can find a flower quickly and give it back to her!] You don't have to keep it though. I just thought it would make you feel better.

Thank you! I appreciate it a lot. [Haha, putting one into your hair. I bet you feel so manly now.] Now we match.

And that sounds reely exciting! I'd love to come out.

We should get everyone to go to it! They had a strange area that looked like you could play in it. [What are playgrounds. How do they work?]
