[Anyone around the shop plaza might notice Simon walking from the item bazaar to house 37 dragging or carrying some supplies, namely planks of wood and some basic building materials. Simon's got a little project on the go despite the cold, and he looks determined to get it done. He's wearing Anise's Tokunaga doll on his back.

Residents of house 1 might hear some clumsy construction noises going on close to the building as well, behind the big tree on the right side. Bother away?]

I bet she gives him special treatment.>:(

[HE IS NOT OLD. And because it's true?|D]

You can call me Peony.

[He glances at what Simon's working on again.]

May I ask what you're doing to that poor tree?

he is special okay 8|

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[He's like twice Simon's age, that's pretty old Dx]

I'm not doing anything to the tree! I'm just using it for shade from the snow. [He gestures to the mishmash of small wooden planks that he's more-or-less arranging and hammering together into a square shape.] I'm just... um... working on something.

more special than the ~*emperor*~?

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[actually even more sob]

And that something is?

maybe :|

[OLD MAAAAN]

...It's a secret.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[D:]

I can keep a secret.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...But it's a promise I made. It's important!

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[If there's one thing he understands, it's keeping promises.]

A promise to Anise?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[AUGH NOT YOU TOO.]

I never said it was for Anise!

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[It's sorta obvious.xD]

Of all the trees in Luceti, why did you choose to work behind the one beside House 1?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Shush. :|]

...That's a secret, too.

[Repetitive, yes, but he certainly can't tell him.]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

[Peony takes a few steps back - but doesn't go back into the house. He leans against a neighboring tree. LET THE TROLLING COMMENCE.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[...C-crap, he's sticking around? Simon waits a moment to see if he's really going to just stand there, until he finally shuffles back to work. This is too important a job to wait around just because someone's watching.]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[For a few minutes, Peony looks at Simon intently, but soon enough, he loses interest and he finds his thoughts drifting off. He won't be paying attention to him for a while unless there's an explosion or something.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[fff, fail trolling, Peony. Simon doesn't have any explosives. 8|

He does, however, have a heavy object to bash his fingers with, and not much experience in using said object...]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[Simon would do well to learn how to troll from him.B|

Even if he is immersed in his thoughts, a girly scream yelp of pain would jolt him out of his reverie.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[In that case-]

OW!

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[He's going to walk briskly towards Simon.]

What happened?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Ow ow oww.]

...I think I missed.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[He looks at the bruise that was already starting to form.]

That doesn't look too good. Maybe you should head inside and put some ointment on it.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Hastily, Simon hides his hand, wincing a little.] It's okay! A real man doesn't retreat after one little hit!

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[why so adorable D:]

It's not a retreat; it's just recovery time.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[He's the real man now, uh. Emperor.]

Recovery time? Really?

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

Really. I mean, it's always best to be at full strength, don't you agree?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, you're right. You don't mind, though?

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[He starts heading back to the house. Simon better be following him.]
