Welcome to Gaia! ::

Asedri was out in the gardens again and had been for some time today. She had settled herself on the ground beneath a tree and was currently rather focused on drawing one of the many flowering plants just a short distance in front of her. By now her hands were all but covered in charcoal dust. Something that always made her wonder how Akakios could put up with it all the time, but her mela was likely quite used to it by now. She smiled, thinking of him and of Tajne. Likely the mouse would head back indoors once she was finished this sketch.

And that was how anyone who happened by would find her- settled in the grass with sketchbook and charcoal in hand and probably grinning like an idiot. Not that the prospect bothered her at all because she was happy.

The mouse very nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of someone crashing downward through a trees branches not far off. The sketchbook was dropped onto the grass and she headed over to the source of the sound. Hopefully whoever it was wasn't seriously injured. She leaned over the stranger, expression part concern and part curiosity. "Are you alright....?"

Well, at least she was still aware and breathing. Both very good signs.

"Well, you are still talking so that is a good sign." At least in theory. "Did you want a hand getting up?"

Sap repeating her question back made Asedri quirk an eyebrow. "Yes, I'm alright. But I did not just fall out of a tree." If she could have glimpsed the other's train of thought the question would have made sense, but alas she could not. Hopefully this stranger did not hit her head too hard?

"If nothing really hurts to move, then you are probably fine- yes." Asedri was no healer though, and neither was Keme- but Mystery had a better understanding of such things than she did. To Sap there would be no difference, save from the change in voice. Her host still did most of the work in controlling their body. It was just simpler that way.

"Sitting will likely help." She settled down next to Sap on the grass and smoothed her skirt out. "It is a nice view from up high, you just have to be a bit more careful next time." So long as she was more careful in her branch selection all would be well. "I was sketching flowers, it seemed too nice a day to be indoors."

She laughed. "Indeed, indoors isn't for everyone...I am rather fond of libraries but some days I like to go out and see the sun."

The sketchbook would be tilted Sap's way when she seemed interested. "You can flip through it, if you like." It was mostly plants, like she said, but there were sketches of animals too...when she could get them to sit still long enough anyway. Most of the latter weren't finished however. If Sap went backward in the sketchbook she would notice something else- toward the beginning the sketches were not quite so refined, there was noticeable improvement through the rest.

"A room, or a building, filled with endless shelves of books." Okay, technically not entirely endless but close enough.

She watched her companion's body language as her work was examined, it seemed to be relaxing little by little. Hopefully that meant the discomfort was fading, otherwise they would need to take her to see a healer despite what Sap had said previously. "All sorts of knowledge just hidden away, waiting to be found."

"Not every book is all pictures- some have a lot and others have none at all." Keme got to her feet and offered Sap a hand up, she would collect the sketchbook when she stood up if it tumbled onto the grass. "Yes, I can take you to see one." The library in her shared quarters was not as big as the great library, but it was still fairly impressive and they were less likely to get lost in it.
