[Action]

[Possessed by the earth spirit, but to a lesser degree than most, Simon is... well, underground. He's back to digging his tunnels around the village, popping up in random locations throughout to create a bit of his own custom irrigation, ie. digging holes everywhere and generally making a big mess. But he seems so content as he does it, and he doesn't even notice the size of his wings.

Feel free to notice him causing chaos in your gardens, though he might be a little distracted \o]

[...do NOT upset the little kid, Shiki. Just don't do it.] Well...I guess it's not that bad. What're you doing anyway, just digging holes?

The ground is thirsty. I'm gonna water it so it grows better.

The ground's thirsty? [all right, we'll play along] ...well that's really nice of you, but why all over town?

Because it wouldn't be fair to the earth to water just one part when it's all thirsty. [He says this like it should be completely obvious.

Well what about the people walking around? You don't want them tripping in the holes and hurting themselves or the earth right? [pfff child-logic]

They wouldn't trip if they were watching where they were going...

I suppose so...but maybe we should put up signs to warn people.

I can't do that, though...

Why not?

I can't see.

...what do you mean you can't see?

[ffff Shiki y so dense.]

Um... I can't see. [Simon gestures vaguely.] My eyes don't work anymore.

...oh! Oh, I'm...[pff, what, you're sorry? That won't help Shiki.] not sure why I didn't think of that.

...well in that case, what if I made the signs instead and you just kept on digging? You seem to be doing good with that.

You want to help? [Surprised Simon is surprised. He doesn't even know this chick.]

Sure, why not? [helpful Shiki likes helping]

O-okay! We can do that, then!

Good, I'll put up warning signs and you just keep digging.

Oh, my name's Shiki by the way.

I'm Simon! Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too! How old are you anyway?

Eight! [Oh-so proud. He just had his sort-of birthday.]

[and this is Shiki's brain trying to wrap around why they brought an eight-year-old here but playing along still] Wow. Did you just turn eight?

Uh-huh! I don't know if it was really my birthday, but it's been a whole year since I got here, so Papa and I agreed that it could be my birthday!

A whole year? That's a really long time, but at least you have family here.

Yeah, I like it here. My old home wasn't nice like this at all.

I hear that from a lot of people.

The experiments don't bother you at all?
