She reaches out half-consciously with the Force as she searches, feels something in the direction of the house, and follows the thread around the house to the back.

There's a water tap at the back of the house, and Pradnakt is leaning against the wall by it, directing the water up and over the plants in the garden, in a simulation of rain. Daisy is examining one of the plants; the water is falling all around her, but not on her.

Pradnakt looks up when Daira comes around the corner. "Hey. Sorry about that, I should have figured that this would take a while."

"It's not like I'm in a hurry for anything," says Daira. "- are you just lifting the water like you did with the pebble?"

Permalink

"Mmhmm. I bet you could get it, water's pretty distinctive around here."

The most obvious presence in the Force is Pradnakt and her telekinesis, and if she shuts that out the water does stand out, but she can't tell the difference between the water in the tap and the water outside of it. What if she allows Pradnkat's Force effect to point her at what it's affecting - there! She lifts the water over the plants and releases it, then grins.

She can't quite get the smooth rain Pradnakt gets, but with her helping the processes goes by quicker.

"Very good."

Daisy moves through the rows of plants, checking most of them and examining the soil every few minutes; eventually she says that it's got enough water for now. "But it could use another soak in the morning and afternoon tomorrow while I'm out, could you please?"

"Of course, Love."

"Where are you going?"

Permalink

"In to town - some of these plants aren't going to make it, they need to be replaced."

Permalink

Daira nods, thinking. She hadn't quite realized it was just Pradnakt and Daisy here, without even any other droids to take care of the gardens while they were away. It didn't change anything, really, just another way in which they were unusual.

"Are there any fruits or vegetables you like? I could add some new kinds while I'm replanting."

Permalink

"I can eat anything, it's okay."

Permalink

"All right." She examines another plant.

"How about we go figure out where you'll be sleeping? I don't have a guest room, but I can set the cot up in the workroom, or I have a tent if you want a little more privacy than that.

Permalink

"The workroom is the one at the front? A cot there is fine."

Permalink

"Yup." She heads for the front of the house. "There's not much to the place - that, my room, Daisy's, some storage. We weren't expecting visitors when we built it."

Permalink

"Do you prefer to be alone, should I try stay out of your way? I don't mind." As long as she gets Force lessons, that is. Those are important; people, not so much.

Permalink

"Mm... that might be a little counterproductive, I think. I can always go up on the roof if I need space."

Permalink

Nod. "Anywhere else I shouldn't go or things I shouldn't mess with?"

Permalink

"Roof's my private space, Daisy's room is hers - shower's through the bedroom; I don't mind you coming through, but please knock first. The garden and livestock are Daisy's; she won't mind if you pick the occasional snack, but check with her before you do anything more than that - it's going to be fragile for the next while, I'm sure. In here, pretty much standard shared workspace rules - check with me before you use the last of anything, let me know if anything happens to any of the tools, the usual. If you need any supplies, let me or Daisy know; it's a couple months' turnaround time if we have to order anything in from the city, but they have a decent selection in town, Daisy goes in the first weekend of every month and she can pick things up for you. And - Daisy'll know if it's worth interrupting me while I'm meditating, and I shouldn't be interrupted at all while I'm practicing with my 'saber, in fact you shouldn't get close to me then. Okay?"

"Makes sense," Daira says, looking visibly relieved to have clear guidelines to follow.

Permalink

Nod. "How about you, anything we should know?"

Permalink

"Um. Sometimes I get kind of snappish for a few days, I try to avoid people then. I don't like to talk a lot? I'm not good at - seeming friendly?"

Permalink

"Fair enough. If you need space, it's always fine to go for a walk - it'd take you a few days to walk far enough that I wouldn't be able to find you; if you get lost, just sit tight and I'll notice eventually. Bring water, though - the Force will protect you some, but better safe than sorry. I'll leave a canteen by the door for you."

Permalink

"Thank you," says Daira with a small smile.

Permalink

"You're welcome."

"So, I'll get started on the cot, then, let's see..."

The bins of parts get shuffled closer together, to make room for one of the freestanding tools on that wall. Then Pradnakt pulls the table out a bit, and levitates the other one out - "I'll just put this in storage, I don't use it that much anyway" - and heads into the back room, machine floating behind her.
