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…]

[takeroot]

Well, there may be paperwork to file, but if you'd like I could help you with that, and you will not have to be bothered by anyone at the Embassy at all!

[she's already been swindled once into Unethical Practices...]

[lumberlady]

can not read paperwork well…
CONSTANTIN would help?
would be much grateful!

and cook much rice dish if is good for stomach!
rice porridge!
grilled rice ball!
tea rice!
red rice!
chestnut rice!

[takeroot]

I will help, yes. And what is the difference between all of these rice dishes? Red rice is... red? And this tastes different?

[please help]

[lumberlady]

gratitude!

difference is most in cooking and serving style
serve rice in tea and make all more warm and tea flavor and softer for eating
chestnut has chestnut
grill rice ball in light sauce to make crisp
and red! is red because steak with red bean
usually we make for celebration

and all is delicious!

[takeroot]

[hoo boy that's so much rice]

Honestly I am already overwhelmed. I am in your hands, I suppose! Whichever you feel is best, by all means...

[lumberlady]

[welcome to rice culture cooking Constantin…]

start with vegetable mix rice!
if stomach hurt we try rice porridge!
if no hurt let us grill!

and if land deal successful…
red!

[takeroot]

A fine plan. Let me know when you have time, then?

[lumberlady]

i do!
much thanks, CONSTANTIN!
