Rhoda's breathing unconciously matches to Pradnakt's after a little while. It is relaxing and helps her shed the remaining tension from earlier (although she's still got some tension to her). She closes her eyes after a little while, but doesn't sleep.

She does open her eyes when she realises the light is changing, and watches the sunset, a slight smile forming on her lips.

About twenty minutes into it, Pradnakt stirs, and grins, just slightly. Thank you for sitting with me.

Rhoda looks back to her, and leans into her a little bit more. You're welcome, even if she's not sure why Pradnakt feels the need to thank her for that.

You okay?

She nods - she is, mostly. Although... She reminds herself she's allowed to ask questions, and them thanking her is very confusing. I...you keep thanking me? For...just doing what... She doesn't have the words there, but manages to make herself send the impression of 'things you do for others'.

Yeah... if you do something for someone and they act like - of course that was going to happen, you have to, something would be wrong if you didn't - that's a really bad sign, if it's all the time.

Oh. She seems a little confused by that, but it seems to help something settle about Pradnakt and Daisy saying 'thank you' to her. (She seems to be putting them in a separate category of people to everyone else, but for now, it's helping her understand them not acting the way she thinks people should act.) Okay.

- Because your time is yours; you could be doing other things with it, and someone who doesn't believe that is never going to treat you right.

She's still getting used to the idea that something is hers. It's a scary thought, having to find things to do on her own. Although... This was nice.

Good, I'm glad.

Sunset? Sunset.

Sunset. It continues to fascinate Rhoda, and definitely keeps her attention until it's over. (And she's definitely leaning a little more firmly into Pradnakt as it goes on.)

Yeah.

Eventually: We should go take care of the animals and stuff. Did Daisy show you how to water the garden?

Rhoda shakes her head. She showed me how to help with the animals, she offers. I...think she said that watering the garden wasn't very interesting? But I'd like to learn?

Sure, it's not hard.

It takes Rhoda a moment to realise that she probably needs to move. She's reluctant, but she does straighten off and shift far enough aside for Pradnakt to get up.

She chuckles lightly and does, leading the way down the ladder with the spare cushion floating alongside. She leaves it at the bottom and heads around back to show Rhoda where the watering can and spigot are.

Rhoda follows eagerly, smiling slightly. (And if she slips down the last couple of rungs of the ladder in her eagerness, she lands on her feet and no harm was done.) The spigot is at least vaguely familiar, the watering can is altogether more alien.

She'll take the time to demonstrate how it works, then, and then re-fills it and passes it over. You should practice a bit, first; it's not a huge deal if something gets over-watered, but it's not actually good for them.

Rhoda demonstrates the same laser-focused concentration to this task as she has to any other she's been set, even if it is just practicing. She does keep half an eye on Pradnakt as she practices, looking to see if she's doing it right - and looking a little, for approval, that isn't a habit that's easy to grow out of. (It takes her a little while, but she will eventually manage to fine a happy medium between 'barely even a trickle' and 'that is far too much water'.)

She sticks around to watch, nodding occasionally as Rhoda gets closer to the desired result. Good. Then she rifles around in the storage area built into the back of the house to come up with a second watering can, and makes her way to the garden itself. They need enough water that the soil at the base is very damp, but not flooded. Like this - she waters a plant and then squishes the wet dirt, and then backs off to let Rhoda feel it as well.

She looks at the wet dirt, and feels it, and then nods. I can do that, she affirms, and demonstrates a couple of times. (She doesn't get it exactly right, but she doesn't flood any of the plants, or leave any too dry.)

Mmhmm, good. I'll go take care of the animals and help you with the rest when I'm done, all right?

She nods, smiles slightly, and then goes back to watering the garden with continued hyper-focus. (And if that smile stays on her face, and perhaps grows a little as she does so, that's between her and the plants, and probably Pradnakt as well.)

Such a cute kid. She pops inside for the leftovers for the goat, and returns to the barn, munching on the leftover sandwich half as she does. A few minutes later she's back at the garden. Everything okay so far?

Rhoda nods. I think so. She looks at the plants she's watered. I don't think I over-watered any of them?
