So, uh, hey everyone. Julie here. [Wave!]

It looks like, um... Serah's gone, if you knew her, so that's something. But-- [She takes a breath, seemingly steeling herself against the news she just gave out. Serah was - is - her friend, and she'll miss her.]

But before she went, we were talking to Tranquility about planting some trees outside his temple. Looks like that's not the only place that could use it though, right? [The smile that comes to her face is small and crooked, a little awkward. She hadn't been to the other islands in a while, but when she did... People have been busy.]

I did some farming back home, but I don't think I can plant a whole forest by myself. Soooo... anyone want to start a project? Bet there's people here who can make seeds sprout by magic, right?

Yeah. Guess it was really hard to see how many of them there weren't. [She replies a little dryly, but shrugs it off quickly enough.]

I think I've heard you singing before.

It's because they're split up over multiple islands. [ He says apologetically ] I kept track of how many we took from the orchard, as we knew we wanted to leave as many fruit trees as possible. But it's harder to know how many the other islands had to start.

You might have! I've been told I'm rather... loud.

[She doesn't look like she's really buying it, but she doesn't argue. That's not what this is about.]

Guess it's not like someone playing their music out of their phone on a bus or something. Not annoying, I mean. It's nice.

[ He smiles at that ]

Thank you. I've been a bard since very young, so it's always nice to hear that people actually do agree that I'm good. I'll try not to sing too loudly - do let me know if I annoy you.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Don't worry, I will.

[Julie, after all, isn't really the kind of person who lets something annoy her without saying so. Some things, maybe.]

I think I'd like to listen to it properly some time.

[ He smiles shyly ]

If you want to, you only have to ask. [ He promises ] Music is something I am always happy to share.
