[lumberlady]

oh yes
i know this method much well
if is too difficult after one minute
probably best for to stop

good advice notice from CONSTANTIN

i also no understand LIGHT BULB
or MICRO WAVE
or RICE COOKER
just use

especially use RICE COOKER
much useful

[takeroot]

That's the spirit.

Why is there a machine that exists solely to cook rice? No, I'm doing it right now. What a fantastic invention that I will pretend I understand.

[but surely it could do, like, TWO things??]

[lumberlady]

this one is easy CONSTANTIN

because rice is most important main thing to eat!

[takeroot]

I don't think I eat that much rice, personally. Perhaps I should?

[lumberlady]

you no do?
is most big crop in i 's land almost every farmer is growing

can eat plain
or put meat in
or put vegetable in
or put chestnut in
or put fish in
or put pickles in

so much good and useful!
if CONSTANTIN no know i make mother 's recipe rice and show glory!

[takeroot]

Pickles don't agree with me, I'm afraid.

[honestly most things don't, how plain are these meat and veg...]

If you would like to [.....] show glory, how could I refuse? Alright.

[lumberlady]

you no like pickle?
even pickle plum???

want to show most glory so
please pick favorite one of list
and tell if other no like foods

[but she Will judge u if its a long list]

[takeroot]

I have been burdened since youth by a weak stomach, unfortunately! If its flavor is too strong, chances are I will make myself sick and be very unpleasant company for the rest of the day.

[stomachaches are just a part of life, ok... please understand]

From your list, how about the vegetables?

[lumberlady]

weak stomach...
sadness to hear...

but is alright!
no problem!
that is why rice is wonderful!
can just eat plain!
but i put in steam vegetables for CONSTANTIN
is more good for you 's health!

[takeroot]

Is it? Okay.

[he doesn't know jack shit about Health Foods!! his health food regimen is "avoid what makes you feel sick" and it was working before, maybe...]

Well, thank you. That's very kind of you.

[lumberlady]

is kind but also selfish
so no need for thanking!

[takeroot]

Hold on, why? To cook food for another person is selfish?

[?????]

[lumberlady]

not always!

but
possible for i is small way selfish

because it make i feel useful
is not smart for helping government with mind
is not magic to finding way to return home
is not priestess to calming MALACHITE

but
can feed people!
so they have more time and energy for doing this type of thing!

[takeroot]

Oh. I think that's just as useful as the rest of those things. Honestly, we aren't making any progress in going home as far as I'm aware, so a day to day thing like cooking is probably more helpful.

You know, depending on perspective, or some such.

[lumberlady]

CONSTANTIN is kind to be saying so
i like to be feeling helpful
and here
have so much more time that is free
i no want it
but have it
so want to fill it

so i make CONSTANTIN rice to try!
if is nice on stomach
please tell

[takeroot]

Of course I will let you know. And I suppose you could consider making food for people full time? Like a business!

[lumberlady]

yes good
food business like restaurant?
however
already I have work on farm in GREATMOON GROVE
when arriving EMBASSY people say must live in APARTMENT
but is not comfortable for i

so other jinba shape person go with i
to EMBASSY
make argument!
get permission to life in GROVES but must work for farmer to use land for home
so do this in day hour now.

[takeroot]

You have to work to live somewhere comfortable while the rest of us wasted several months doing nothing in free lodging?

[like, maybe other people got jobs with more alacrity than Constantin, but uh--]

That doesn't seem... fair? Or ethical?

[lumberlady]

i have to ask for special permission to not be living in ox
or place with stair
so i no mind to work to have more comfortable living place

is no fair?
i did not think of this...

[takeroot]

No one made me work a single day here until I decided I felt like doing it to keep busy, so of course it isn't fair to ask you to work just for a place to sleep. Who exactly told you it was necessary to work for a place to live comfortably but only for you?

[will he bully this person at work... maybe]

[lumberlady]

it was long time ago i no remember name
but was man in area of EMBASSY call HOUSING?
much short height and purple gem color
he offer more big APARTMENT or APARTMENT with no stair but

just is not good for i or for roommate so we choose
work in GREATMOON GROVES to exchange with farmer for land renting

[has she not noticed and no one told her that she could just buy land now? maybe maybe not]

[takeroot]

I will see if I can locate him.

[but also, yes... that other thing...]

Surely this isn't some kind of time-contracted rental, is it? You could simply purchase your own place to live, and deal with what the Embassy owes you as compensation later.

[lumberlady]

CONSTANTIN has power in EMBASSY?
like NIKOLAI?

[he had a job there, didn't he???]

i get compensation if purchase land???
land for purchase is far away?
i make barn here much comfortable now after much work…
would be shame to leave now…

[takeroot]

Well, I have a desk, but not to worry! I am very persuasive.

[he's a secretary but that's enough to give somebody a talking to!!]

You deserve compensation, whether or not they're willing to give it to you without a lot of arguing. But I see your point, I suppose... Perhaps you could simply pay the farmer for ownership of the barn? Cut out the Embassy entirely.

[lumberlady]

i see!
CONSTANTIN work there also!
amazing
must be much good at reading
well
already thought this because rank but
more impressed!





could just ask farmer?
no need EMBASSY?

[what is real estate law…]
