          “ … you want to find a tree, but a small one. “

          “ one that looks exactly like an adult sized tree? “

          it’s not the strangest thing that he’s heard, far from it, actually. honestly, it’s amusing how the girl had taken such a roundabout way to describe a “bonsai” ( though he won’t blame the other for being worried about others not knowing what the term means, especially considering how the village is a mish-mash of people from all different worlds and all different cultures ). a respectable hobby for someone so young. ozpin remembers when he himself had gardened– it’s a hobby that’s dearly missed, even with all the unpleasant memories attached. ( after all, you can never quite get rid of those in any situation. ) perhaps if he finds himself inclined to, he’ll pick up the activity again.

          “ is there a specific species that you’d like to search for? i should know my way around well enough to be able to take you to most of the common flora around the area. “

( @ichibonsai​, this is sure cute. )

  “ … Yes? ”

  That’s exactly what she said, but having it fired back at her like this is really making her feel like a fool. Arisa folds her arms, decidedly looking away from Ozpin to push back the mild embarrassment that’s made itself known by the red on her face. For what it’s worth, she didn’t really think to bring any bonsai with her when she left; her grandmother knows enough on how to keep them safe. Removing them from their home would only leave her feeling guilty should any of them have been damaged.

  “ Oh, um, well… ”

  Arisa runs through the list of bonsai that are best in this type of climate, tapping her foot as if using a pedal to scroll her thoughts. “ … The Mugo Pine. It’s a type that can survive well in this type of temperature, so as long as I get the tools to care for it, I can keep it cared for. ”

Ever since she started working at the Crystal, Primrose had the unfortunate luck to have met quite a few young newcomers. Or rather, meeting them wasn’t unfortunate: them being here was. She hadn’t learned of anyone else’s wish, but if they were like hers… needless to say, hopefully they had more luck in life than her.

“Welcome to the Crystal.” With a cheerful tone, Primrose nodded at her request. “Of course. It is quite popular for those who have a bit of a sugar tooth.” With a professional smile, she made her young client the cocoa she both wanted and deserved.

“And here you are. Careful, it’s quite hot.” She put the mug in front of the blonde girl gently.

“Have you been settling in properly?” It was difficult not to help out newcomers at least a little bit, especially the younger ones. The world was cruel, and in the case of Eidolon, quite cold. “If you need any help, it doesn’t hurt to ask.”

  People from all walks of life can’t help but have wishes. Arisa’s heard Kasumi spout off about her own ad infinitum, her ears catching each one that she says at some point or another. Her energetic tone whirls around in the blonde’s mind until the drink arrives, causing her to promptly snap out of her daydreams.

  “ Oh, uh-- thank you, ” she answers, volume slowly dropping as she wraps her hands gently around the mug. Arisa moves her fingers in a wave, preventing any of them from getting burnt while her hands siphon some of the heat.

  She looks at Primrose for several moments, expression shifting to one of contemplation before she blows on her cocoa and takes a small sip. “ … I think so. It never gets this cold back home or anything. I thought what I wore would be fine, but… ”

  ( Arisa regrets her lack of the scarf her grandmother made, the coat, a futon she could take a nap under--

  Sacrifices must be made for wishes, she supposes. )

  The cold is awful. It’s not a new conclusion that Arisa has reached, certainly not; she’d much rather be resting under some blankets and relaxing right about now. Sometimes, however, that isn’t enough.

  Her eyes land on The Crystal Tavern, taking in the homely aura it gives before entering. She does her best to get all the snow off her shoes, not wanting to drag it into the establishment (not that it matters much, probably).

  Approaching the bar, she settles onto a stool and takes in her surroundings. It’s... cozy. She feels the cold slowly drain from her shoulders, relaxing them as she faces the woman at the bar.

  ... She hopes she hasn’t been standing there too long. The idea makes her a bit nervous.

  “ O... Ohoho, apologies for the wait. Would you... perhaps have hot cocoa? ”

Welcome to Eidolon, traveler. Wishes have brought you far, and we know they will only bring you further.

You will find your residence in Bunkhouse #2. For some reason, there is a toy piano on your bed… Along with two packets of the stickers that you so love. Familiar and unfamiliar, isn’t it?

Search, seek, persist. Take heart in your heart.

May Diaidem bless you.
