[ 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.

[ it helps that she clarifies it is out of concern rather than something else; it had been a little difficult to identify her intentions, and how much he can trust her. but it's okay now. ]

I will. [ this he appends with a slight, honest smile. ] I'd like to learn how to most effectively use my ability, too.

I can likely help you as far as plants go, to assess their health and overall well-being. I'm afraid I'm sadly lacking in military and fighting knowledge. [That's...not entirely true.]

[bulletbiter]

[ they're not so different, then. he who only knows how to fight is hard-pressed to perform well in other areas. ]

I would appreciate that very much.

[ hopefully, he can ease the uncertainty about his own future ]

[She nods and dips another polite curtsy.]

Then I look forward to working with you in the future, Julius.

[[ooc: we can wrap it up here, I'll try to find Julius again in one of the El Minha logs! Let me know if you want to handwave any additional meetings/development before/after the world jump!]]
