Shrug. :I'm tired. But I guess I'm tired a lot of the time: 

Permalink

:Huh.: How about some pain blocking, then. :Did something happen?:

Permalink

:Nothing particularly bad? I had lessons to teach right after Mindspeech relay and that's always really exhausting. Also I guess I had a bad dream and woke up early, if it's close enough to sunrise I usually just get up because I won't get back to sleep: 

Permalink

She signs something to DZ and falls back to take his hand - how about some calming, too, just a bit. :Have you asked about changing the teaching schedule?:

Permalink

The calming is much appreciated. 

:For when you're hibernating? Um, Savil can cover most of it, she'll ask Jaysen for the one where she's busy or at worst we can cancel it. Although I thought I might try to do some of them. I mean, I was doing my work before you were around at all: 

Permalink

:That's good. I meant in general, though, it might be that it doesn't need to be scheduled then at all.:

Permalink

:Honestly it'd be tiring no matter when it was. I've done a few in the afternoon too and I guess it wrecks the rest of my day less often, but it makes it more likely I'll be too tired or - upset - to even teach it at all: 

Permalink

:Fair enough. Maybe I can arrange to be around at the right time to help you out with it or something.:

Permalink

:Oh!: That gets a startled smile from him. :That might be really good, actually: 

And they've arrived at the house! It's at the far end of a plot of land that looks like it might've once been more vegetable garden and is now fallow, overgrown with grass and clover. It's backed up against an overgrown thicket of blackberry bushes. It's not huge, but it is decently sized for a cottage, though of course the room layout isn't visible from outside. 

Permalink

:I'll see what I can do, then.: And, to Savil too, :It's cute!:

Permalink

"I thought so! Come on, let's have a look - er, it's not furnished as a house right now so it'll be a bit weird, and I doubt it's been properly cleaned in a while, but you can get a sense of the layout."  

Permalink

:Sure, no point setting it up before we know if I want it.: She heads in; DZ hangs back to wait for Savil and Vanyel to precede her.

The cottage feels surprisingly spacious inside, with a nice high ceiling. The living room is long and narrow, with a skylight; there are three bedrooms, though currently all of them are being used as storage for elderly gardening implements and dusty crates of miscellanea. There's a loft area with a ladder, currently unoccupied. No indoor privy; the cottage predates when most of Haven had indoor plumbing at all, the privy is around back. 

Permalink

Not bad, though she does want to know how much trouble it'll be to get plumbing installed. She might want to put a work building up in the garden, too. And - she eyes the roof, and then leaps up onto it with a burst of telekinesis - how's the view up there?

Permalink

Savil eyes the place โ€“ she doesn't think it'll be too complicated to get plumbing done, though they ought to request it before she wants to move in. 

The roof is high enough to give a view over the brambles and trees behind them to a meadow and ornamental statue on the other side, and to see all the way over the greenhouses to the field. 

Permalink

She spends a minute checking it out and reaches out with her Force senses to look for unnoticed trails that get too close before jumping back down, landing neatly by them. :I like it. What do you think?: she addresses Van. :I expect you'll be out here often enough.:

Permalink

:I think I'll like it a lot more once it has furniture and is clean and all that, but it seems pretty good so far?: 

Permalink

:Reasonable. I think it has a lot of potential, once it's cleaned up and decorated. Are there any other options I should look at?: she asks Savil.

Permalink

"Nothing else that's both as good and available. There's another cottage-type place which was more remote from things, if this one turned out to be too close, but it's only two bedrooms and a lot smaller." 

Permalink

:Yeah, this one's good, my range isn't that long. I'll need to talk to my droid about how we want the rooms laid out, but you can get started cleaning it out - do you want any help with it, actually, some of that stuff looked pretty heavy.:

Permalink

"I think we can manage fine? The Palace workers are used to this kind of thing, they're not going to hurt themselves. I think you ought to focus on recovering - I suppose if you finish the hibernation thing and we're not done, you could help out if you like, but I suspect there are higher priority things for you to be doing unless floating out heavy things is very easy for you." 

Permalink

:It is, actually, very easy for me - weight isn't an issue at all, fine control and handling more than one thing at a time are harder.:

Permalink

"Huh! Well, you're of course welcome to help if you like โ€“ I can keep DZ looped in on the logistics for this so she can pass it on to you?" 

Permalink

:Sounds good. Is this organized in any particular way that I should be careful of?:

And she'll get to work.

Permalink

Savil calls over some of the Palace workers who know where things are supposed to go; they bring a large cart to load all the items into to bring elsewhere. Once they arrive she can head out; DZ's welcome to follow her for further moving logistics discussion.
