[ the feed opens to julius in the garden, standing beneath a fruit tree - a young man in his early twenties, with blond hair and clear golden eyes. he looks a tad tired, with dark shadows under his eyes - but for those who knew him from before, he appears to be in better condition than they last saw him.

notably, he wasn't at the icebreaker. but - those are minor details. ]

Hello, everyone. My name is Julius.

[ he gestures to the greenery behind him with a sweep of his hand, a slight smile tugging at his lips ]

I'm interested in developing the garden - we may need to upkeep it ourselves in the future, and I would imagine the relevant skills would be necessary in other worlds for ensuring a consistent food supply. However, I don't have much knowledge on cultivation myself. If we work together, we'll have a better chance at succeeding.

[ his expression settles back into its usual quiet seriousness now, as appropriate for something more dangerous ]

I was a soldier back home, and I used to teach drills to my teammates. In the interest of keeping our skills sharp, I would also like to propose some sparring sessions and other exercises.

[ a pause, before: ]

If you're interested in either of these, please let me know. I look forward to working with everyone here.

[ her own feed will open to a soft smile. because yes, okay, she's definitely one of those who noticed that he does seem in better condition. much better. ]

It's good to see you, Julius.

[ and then, you know - the topic at hand. ]

I have a very basic understanding of simple gardening, if that will help?

[bulletbiter]

[ the more familiar faces there are here, the better he feels. it skips the whole 'having to filter and select for people to talk to' thing. ]

That's more than I do. [ a nod, and then: ] We can meet up and discuss sometime, if you'd like?

[efface]

Sure, I'm pretty open schedule-wise.

[ what with, you know, there being absolutely nothing to do. ]

Are you still in the garden?

[bulletbiter]

[ it feels weird to be doing nothing, they gotta find something to be productive for. ]

I am. I'll wait here if you'd like to come.

[efface]

[ exactly. there's a reason they got along. ]

I can be there in ten or so minutes?

[bulletbiter]

I'll be right here.

[ he's exactly where he said he would be, looking up at the trees. ]
