"Doesn't know! Probably doesn't bother."

So Deshi will do transcription work and scritch Petal if she comes within scritching range.

Permalink

Petal will float into scritching range occasionally in her ongoing cycle of naps and harvests. Today she is focusing mainly on harvesting saffron crocus petals.

Permalink

Deshi goes for lunch around noon and comes back with a bread crust and a piece of broccoli and a peanut for Petal.

Permalink

Tiny nibbles! Tiny shorter-than-usual nap!

Permalink

"I think your naps have gotten shorter," Deshi remarks.

Permalink

"Nap shorter?" she says, surprised. "Feels same!"

Permalink

"Yeah they were twenty minutes before and I think they're just a little shorter now."

Permalink

"Doesn't know why..." she muses.

Permalink

"Me either. Babies sleep more than grownups? Maybe you're just getting older."

Permalink

"Maybe," she says doubtfully, and floats out the window to harvest another petal.

Her next nap, if Deshi's counting, is back to the just-under-twenty-minutes length.

Permalink

"That time it was longer," Deshi says.

Suvi knocks, and Deshi lets her in.

Permalink

Happy burble. "Suvi! Good!"

Permalink

"Hiiii! Oh you're still so cute." Pet pet.

Permalink

Other things Petal is still so: soft.

Permalink

"Aaaaa so soft - so what's new here? Petal lives under the bed now, anything else?"

"She eats?" says Deshi. "I've been bringing her bits of things."

"Adorable," pronounces Suvi. "I still kind of think we eventually need to tell someone?"

"What if they take her away?" protests Deshi.

"...I don't know, but it just seems like kind of a dumb move to keep an alien under your bed forever? Like, if nothing else she's going in and out the window for all those flower petals, right, somebody's going to spot her."

"Flower petals are pretty," Petal contributes.

Permalink

"That is true," acknowledges Suvi. "These are holding up really well, I would've expected a loose petal to dry up pretty quick but they all look the same..."

Permalink

"Harvest thing, thing same!" she explains, if you can call that an explanation.

Permalink

"So they'll stay like that forever?"

Permalink

"Stay like that," the floatgoat affirms.

Permalink

"Till you zhoop them, right?" says Deshi.

Permalink

"Right!"

Permalink

"Do they zhoop into... plants?" says Suvi. "Because plants... grow, and make seeds, and die and stuff..."

Permalink

"Plants yes!"
