*Instead of hanging out in one place, Sollux is being a bit more active today. Though that really just means he's moping in several different places

[You know, Lily has never seen a large body of water that wasn't a pool. Ever. She'd discovered the lake long ago (and wasted a few minutes crying because it's just so beautiful) but hasn't spent much time there. So here she is, jogging to the weedy shore to get in some sight-seeing before the sun sets.
Oh, is that Sollux up there, on top of the boat house? ... How did he get up there? Climbed, obviously. Somehow. Doesn't matter. Point is, he's there.]
*Sollux heard someone approaching but didn't bother to look to see who it was. At least until she said something, at least, then he turned his attention to Lily.*
[Alright, there seems to be just enough windows and ledges for Lily to climb up. At full power she'd be able to just jump, but here? No dice. Thanks a lot, Deior. Once up there, Lily plops down next to Sollux. Wow, it's really nice up here! Neat view.]
[Tsia's been stalking the grounds and she was aware of the hives any time she decides to sit down and concentrate. The insects were usually rather calm, for being a swarm, seemingly content to go on about their business. Whatever that may be.
Then that buzzing calmness seems to amp up a bit in the gate. Like the volume being turned up on a comm. She picks up enough of that agitation to be curious what was causing it and carefully picks her way across the Keep toward it. She's anticipating everything that was likely causing the ruckus but the scene before her.
There is grey skinned and horned boy gathering something from these black and yellow insects and putting it in jars. It was golden colored and gives her a bit of a pause.]
"What are you doing? What is that?"
[She's given up that people can understand her, but she's not mute and she won't be playing the part.]
*Since he's got the earworm translator grub, Sollux has done a good job of forgetting all these different languages in the keep. Sure, he knew some people spoke them, but since it all sounded the same to him he just expected people to know he understood them.
He pauses in his work as Tsia enters, and slowly turns to face her. Spooking the bees was never a good idea.*
[Okay, so it's not a projection of some kind. He seemed to turn and answer her and is holding out the jar with whatever is inside it toward her. But the moves are slow and deliberate and not threatening at all.
It kind of looks like a kid.
But it still doesn't speak the language she knows. She sighs and shakes her head.]

Heeey, Sollux!
[Lily waves her arms. Look at meee!]
What're you doing up there?

"Nevermind. No. I don't understand."

*Sollux puts the jar down and steps away from the hives. He pulls out his journal and flips it open so he can transmit to her.*
Honey. It's...well I guess its just something sweet here.
