“Everything of my property needs work, my love. Even if we choose to start anew things will need work.” 

“Or, I suppose,” and here his eyes caught a glint of mischief, a sly grin growing over his face, “We could just pretend we are human farmhands, and offer help to some cold far off farm, and sleep among the horses.” Still quite an honest life, and one that reeked of how he had spent much of the so called Middle Ages, giggling, playing kind-hearted tricks.

“True. It does seem to come with the territory.“

The hint in Matt’s eyes of mischief – it didn’t go unnoticed, making Saima wonder what exactly he had up his sleeve. “Heh, we could pretend that. Though I wonder how long we could maintain the illusion.”After all, Saima had some ethereal habits now and then that were more challenging to hide from the human eye. 

“It’d be fun at the very least.“

“Very well. I’ll be home later this evening… I’d advise coming around five or six, perhaps. I will likely start cooking when I come home from the vets, however the earlier you come the longer you will have to wait for food.” A small smile. “Just let yourself in. I’ll be here in the kitchen. Thank you again.”

– – –

When Saima chooses to return to Gio’s home, they will hear her before they see her. A radio is playing in the kitchen, with Gio humming and singing along to it softly before she notices her guest. She offers a warm smile in greeting, wiping her hands on her apron and gesturing for them to come into the room more. “Buonasera. Can I get you a drink or anything?”

Later on, Saima opts to stop by again and hears the sound of singing in the kitchen. Entering the home, they make their presence known at the door despite being pretty cautious of being intrusive. Call it an awkward habit of theirs. 

Still they smile back with a wave upon being noticed and move into the kitchen further. “Hello, hello – a drink would be nice. What do you have available?”

“Well, that’s good to hear! Maybe I need to find something or pick up one of my hobbies again,” Erzsi chuckles shaking her head. “I do miss boxing. Maybe I should get back into that.”

“So, how do you make your music? If you don’t mind me asking?”

“I’d definitely recommend getting into one of your hobbies if the chance is afforded to you.“ They were a big fan of allowing people to enjoy their passions when the time came around. “That seems like it would be real fun to box.“

“It depends, I tend to have an idea and play around with different instruments as a way to flesh out the idea.“

“That’s how reading should make people feel…I mean, that’s what I think…I have met many people who feel like excessive reading makes them…better than others but it’s…or it should be about, uh, learning and…connecting to the stories…”

   “I get what you mean. People can be so pretentious about reading which really misses the point. It’s about learning from different experiences and to different people. I feel like those who think reading makes them better really just don’t get the real pleasure of reading in the first place.”

He smiles and nods, head ducking down slightly as he thought on it more. “It was not always so easy– I’m sure you can understand. He was essentially abandoned…he would come home in tears because the other children made him feel unwanted.” There’s a long, heavy sigh as Idris remembers such a day. “As much as I love him and cherished every moment I got to be a father to him, had his life been normal, I feel he would have had a happier existence.”

 The knowledge that Setau had been essentially abandoned and made to feel unwanted definitely pulled at Saima. Causing them to give a little bit of a sigh as well. It was always difficult having an unusual life, but to be abandoned in the process – truly something they could feel for. 

“It’s certainly possible he would have had a happier existence being normal. It..it’ so unfortunate that so many in this world still don’t really know how to deal with those from different circumstances.  It’s a real shame that he had to deal with that kind of rejection.“

He doesn’t mess around when it comes to his bros. Or John Cena.

“Exactly! I mean…there’s morbid jokes for a reason…it’s solely for ghosts to cheer up new ghosts. Like, get this…why do ghosts like to ride elevators?”

Solid. 

  “Fair enough. It’s almost as if they are welcoming new ghosts into the fold through shenanigans.” The joke, they knew was likely going to be amusingly terrible. Which is why they looked forward to the response. “Oh I don’t know – why do they?”

          —– “Warm  weather  just reminds me
          of home.”  he admits, wrinkling his nose
          a bit, “When it’s cold, I can really start
          to  forget  that  I’ll never see it again.”

A small pause before giving a slight nod of recognition. “Fair. Whatever makes it easier to deal with starting over since then. Sincere apologies for the loss of home.” It seemed like that had to be a painful process to say the least.

Well, Jan and I have moved in together. I am living in Amsterdam, now. It’s quite an adjustment, I’d say, especially given that my Dutch is terribly lacking.

[She’s making a genuine effort, though, and with Jan’s help she is seeing progress. It helps that she now lives immersed in the language.]

Oh, no thank you. We have been having quite our fill of it. I have actually been meaning to take some jars to Arthur for his tea.

Ah, congrats on the move. Amsterdam is an interesting city – I would suppose that would be quite the transition though.

[Suppose that just gives Saima more reasons to visit though.]

Understandable, more for me I guess. Nice. I’m sure he’ll enjoy it as well – being as lovely as it is.

I think one can appreciate their role in nature regardless. Or if they don’t, they should. I can see how it would be calming to feel connected to something bigger than oneself. 

[Some days she wishes she could move about life with as calm an air as Saima. Whether that calm air hides something more chaotic, she can hardly claim to know.]

Oh certainly. They really should take the time to appreciate what is around them. It’s too easy to take trees for granted. 

[The calm air used to hide a lot of nervous inner chaos but these days, it feels more sincere which is quite refreshing as far as Saima is concerned.]

But what else have you been up to – care to try the honey for your own sake?
