[ It's been a few days since the first arrivals trickled in to this iteration of the monastery, and there's been some improvement to the area, at least.

Which is fortunate, really, because the clouds have finally decided to open up and let out a torrential downpour.

The grass out in the courtyard almost immediately becomes saturated with water, squishing beneath people's feet as they step through it. Drainage in the monastery is a real problem in some parts, particularly near the marketplace area. Slowly, as time passes, pools begin to form, though some of the remaining debris serves as a decent buffer between the water and whatever crates merchants may have left behind. It may be a good idea to salvage some of that, though it's not likely to be ruined thanks to said debris. In general, it's likely a rude awakening for any new arrivals.

Of course, some would say that rainy days are the best when it comes to fishing; some would even say they're right, given how the fish seem to be out in droves at the lake. If one didn't mind potentially getting soaked, they could bring in a real haul during this rainstorm. The dining hall is not nearly as well stocked as it had been in its heyday, so this could potentially be beneficial for the community.

For some, it's likely best to stay inside and find shelter from the rain. Thankfully, most of the monastery roofing seems to be intact, save for a few sizeable holes in the cathedral. Still, that doesn't mean there isn't a leak here and there, so watch your step, particularly in the dining hall and the second floor of the dormitories as well. It might not be a bad idea to put a few buckets out to catch all that water . . . ]

[[ MORE HOUSEKEEPING, hey what's up guys:

please PM this journal if there are more setting changes you'd like to be noted! i.e. if your character did some sprucing up in the greenhouse, just let me know and I will update the setting page accordingly.
as noted on the "mod" plurk, I'll try putting up open posts roughly once a week going forward. it'll depend on how things are going, no big. ]]

[A next time... perhaps the idea would not be so bad. To have someone to let off steam with would be nice as long as there's a mutual understanding of not letting it get to far. In fact she almost becomes fond of the idea.]

Then perhaps... you would not mind if I called on you to let off a little steam in the future?

I definitely wouldn't mind.

[Even if it'll be a challenge.]

It's been tough finding worthy sparring partners around here.

[Haha, he thinks she's strong enough to fight again. Her pride bolsters a little. Her shoulders held a little higher. Her chest puffed out a little more. Like a bird, almost. Edelgard will pick up her weapon to put it away despite it being effectively ruined.]

If that is the case then I too shall encourage you to call upon me for such an occasion.

[Wow it's like winning totally had her blow off all the rude things he said. Fancy that!]

Then I shall, in the future.

[It's really funny how Edelgard puffing up like that makes her look a bit like a bird. Another chuckle escapes him, but at least he could excuse it now as a response to her statement.]

For now, I guess we both have our own things to do around the monastery.

Yes. Until next time, then.

[A smile and a polite wave. With those she'll part from him with little other fanfare.]
