Darkness steadily encroaches upon a secluded park. It's not quite far enough into evening to earn the term 'night,' but it's certainly getting there. The sun's probably finished setting, but the park isn't well situated to tell. There are better places to watch the sunset, which maybe explains why this park is so empty. That doesn't make it any less pretty, though. Just a good place to get away from people for a while.

"Changing the sheets must be a pain. ... Oh. Right. Emperor. Never mind. Hard to get out of?"
"Mm." She gently pulls away to sit up. "... I'd like my brother back, but I need to have everything me related wrapped up and tied with a bow and not requiring any input from him."

"Is that something I can help with or is it more of a 'build you a bedroom and leave you alone for the rest of the day' sort of thing?"
"I think you can help with that. Um. So what do you do all day, and where would I fit into that? Since I assume you're, er. Keeping. Me."
"I do... whatever I feel like. You can pretty much also do whatever you feel like. Well, within practical limitations - you'd have some trouble doing architecture the way I do architecture, you can't fly - although if you wanted wings I could give you some..."
"... Well that's a thing I never considered possible. I will probably want to do that eventually, actually, that sounds like fun."
She smiles back.
"I think I'd get bored with just hobbies, though. I like - having goals and accomplishing things. I didn't exactly like my job, but I liked having it."
"Huh. I'm not sure I get the difference. If having goals and accomplishing things is what you want to do with your life, then that still comes in under 'whatever you feel like', doesn't it?"
