[inheavenslight]

Who: Luce inheavenslight and YOU
What: Its the 11th, do you know where your local 30-something manchild is?
When: The 11th
Where: All over town
Summary: Luce is meandering about the town, he is trying to learn about it and adapt. But this is him we're talking about.
Rating: PG-13
The odd thing about Luce, that despite is overly sheltered life, lack of common sense and ingrained ignorance, was that no matter what he would be naturally curious. Today, one could see the blond walking about town investigating thing, watching people, and feeling random items in stores.

He wanted to see how people survived here, and being here for just over a month had taught him a lot of things but at the same time nothing. So, what was this man to do? Besides, adapt.

She watches him, unsure what he is feeling. Unsure of anything really. She kneels beside him and pulls up a weed, working the roots out and making sure that none remain the ground.

"Gently. They can't help being what they are but even they struggle to live." She puts it in the basket. "You can do it."

[inheavenslight]

He tries to mimic her actions, he is still staring at the ground, like he is working on trying to deal with the emotions inside of him.

He hated feeling things.

"Everything struggles to live. It is a given."

[toujoursfluer]

"Do you?" She watches him for a moment. "Dig a little more there, but don't upset the row next to it."

[inheavenslight]

"I have Abel. I am blessed."

[toujoursfluer]

"That's not an answer."

[inheavenslight]

"What I say doesn't matter." He said, "The church gives me what I need and deserve."

[toujoursfluer]

"Stop being so selfish. It's not the church that's asking for answers."

[inheavenslight]

"How am I being selfish?" the man said, "I am giving you answers. If the church gives me what I need and deserve, am I struggling? If I feel like I am, I am putting my desires ahead of those of the church and acting like I know better than it."

[toujoursfluer]

That, at least, is an answer she can understand.

"Nevertheless, you are struggling. Strange, isn't it?"

[inheavenslight]

"No. I'm flawed if I felt that I knew better than the Church."

[toujoursfluer]

"So you do not consider yourself flawed?" She's a little confused by your meaning. Tough she has a sense at the same time that this isn't a battle she can win.

faksdfhlkj I FAILED THERE.

[inheavenslight]

"No I am, so I couldn't question them." Luce said, his mind was working faster than his mouth.

[toujoursfluer]

"If you say so." He makes her tired. It is like battering against a brick wall and she's never much one to fling herself against it when there isn't cause. Perhaps one day he will break down, perhaps he won't. In any case, she stands once more.

"You're almost done. Just that little patch." And she will have a weeded garden, all for the cost of a little frustration.

Sorry I suck and took forever to respond D:

[inheavenslight]

"And then what else?"

s'ok<3

[toujoursfluer]

"And then nothing else. You wanted to see vegetables did you not? I'll let you dig them up, such as they are. You can even keep them if you're hungry." She doesn't think they would be anything worth cooking with and, at any rate, at least her meager fare would go to someone who looked like they needed it.

[inheavenslight]

"Why do you say as they are? Are they not fully ready yet?"

[toujoursfluer]

"I believe they are, but I'm not a gardner so I can't be sure. It is all trial and experiment." She pauses and regards him a moment. "Have you ever done those kinds of things?"

[inheavenslight]

"..No, last time I tried, I planted a potato wrong."

[toujoursfluer]

"Don't you experiment with anything?" Though she doesn't know why she asks because she already knows the answer. She shakes her head. He is obviously not someone who even knows how to live.

[inheavenslight]

"No. Its not my job to experiment or question."

[toujoursfluer]

"And your whole life is your job?" Which is a pitiable thing, really. He doesn't even seem to enjoy it.

[inheavenslight]

"Correct, it is my reason for being."

[toujoursfluer]

"Then unbecome," she says though she knows how this conversation will go. Perhaps she's developing some masochistic tendencies. In either case, whether he answers or not...

"The vegetables are there to be picked. Try to figure out which ones."

[inheavenslight]

"Why would I do that? If I am the Judge well, in my next life, I can be something better than I am now." He said, frowning before doing what he would when told to figure it out.

Pick at random and hope for the best.

[toujoursfluer]

She doesn't answer to that. It doesn't seem like a fair tradeoff but perhaps reincarnation really does work where he is from. In either case she has grown tired of debating. Instead she will watch him and grow hands out of the earth to slap him away when he's wrong, though she'll slap him away if he is right, too, to see if he can find another way of solving the problem.
