[tryingitall]

I'm back, just in case anyone was wondering; it's possible you weren't, of course, since I have no idea how long I was gone.

But someone has clearly been watering my garden, so thank you for that! And the radishes are ready.

Comments

If I'd known the radishes were still alive I'd have taken the opportunity to kill 'em off.

[tryingitall]

[Ah, Gabriel. Don't ever change.] I'd make you replace them. I've put a lot of hours into those obnoxious little roots.

You don't have to eat any, promise.

[hung_garian]

Oh, I'd replace them alright. I'd replace 'em with something actually edible.

[tryingitall]

Is there anything in the plant family you consider edible?

[hung_garian]

[He considers that.]

Apples are alright. And I suppose cocoa and sugar, once you get rid of all the icky healthy bits of 'em.

[Alright, so he's just playing up to the joke now. Honestly, he quite likes fruit and he has nothing against most vegetables. But admitting that wouldn't be anywhere near as fun for him.]

Otherwise... well, no offence to anyone's gardening attempts, but me personally? I wouldn't wanna risk it.

[tryingitall]

If I told you about all the antioxidants in chocolate, would you give it up? [He's playing along, too, and the smile is obvious.]

I'll keep that in mind in case I find any apple trees, though.

[hung_garian]

Over my dead body. But it's best if you don't anyway - the emotional conflict might be too much for my fragile constitution.

[tryingitall]

I do worry about your fragile constitution. All right, enjoy your sweets, then.

[hung_garian]

Oh, I will.
