folklorist | ϡ - Chapter FortySix; Even the rain can't keep away the sweets [action|voice|video]

[ The light rain in the enclosure does not stop Helios today. He's feeling rather happy and in a mood to share the wonderful change to the outside of House 44. Who knows, maybe someone else would like to do it as well, it's only fair to make people aware of the changes allowed. So the video feed with kick on with Helios smiling happily and a rather gorgeous looking castle in the background. ] I'm happy to say that the shift acquired to t-turn one of the houses here has worked quite well so far. I wasn't sure if anyone was into this sort of thing but, ah, it's a nice reminder of home. I just wanted to show people that we can actually change the outward appearances of the houses here. The inside still remains the same however, but it's an improvement I think.

[ And with that happy note he'll close the video feed and continue on his way into town. So any passerby who is around town will note the stand he’s put up covered with delectable sweets and treats. It’s mainly for the new feathers but anyone is welcome to stop by and have some. People are free to stay in the surprisingly dry bubble around said stand when the rain is especially hard. ]

So it seems like new feather arrivals are upon us once more. It’s very nice to meet you all. I-I hope you get situated relatively quickly. It can be a bit daunting, I know, but if there’s anything you need help with don’t hesitate to ask around. Everyone here is very friendly and rather open when it comes to helping out. If you’re in the village this afternoon I’ve setup a stand with, ah, some sweets should anyone want some. There’s no need to be shy either! These are for everyone, old and new, so stop on by if you’re hungry or just need something sweet.

[ Helios is very chipper and it’s clear that he’s open towards anyone taking the baked goods he’s offering. ]

As for more serious business, I’d like to make an announcement to the village as a whole. Last year we had something known as the Cultural Fair in Luceti, wherein people setup stands and booths that displayed and portrayed parts of their home worlds. It can be whatever you want to show; whether it’s food, games, or even pictorial representations of indigenous species in your world. Anything and everything is allowed ah, well, as long as it’s safe and not t-too terribly messy of course! The fair is going to occur in June fifth. There are posters around town if you haven’t already seen them which also advertise the fair as well. If you have any questions I-I’m open towards talking about it. Or, ah, if you attend the school Professor Raine or Professor Layton can help you with any questions you have as well.

[ And then he’ll pause again before humming slightly as he collects his thoughts. ]

Ah yes! There is one more thing. The magic club which was run previously by Harry Dresden has been absent of late. I-I do want to continue the various projects and meetings if anyone from the prior club still wished to partake in such activities. I-I think coming together and pooling our skills collectively could really turn up some…interesting ideas and prospective projects to help the village along. Perhaps we could have another meeting a week or so after the cultural fair to discuss some things in more detail. I-I would just like people to respond if-if you’re still interested in, ah, learning or doing anything with the club in general. Thank you for your time and-and as always I hope everyone has a very nice day.

[ Helios scoffs and shakes his head. ]

Most certainly not. I'm about ready to not even have my birthday count here, being thirty five is old enough I think. [ Though he says it in a teasing manner as he laughs a little afterwards. ]

[Frederic shakes his head in return with a small laugh. Man, thirty five isn't old.]

Thirty five isn't that old, my friend. You're still young.

I suppose but I am catching up to the older human members in these parts. [ Soon enough they'll be having an adults only club. ]

You make it sound to be a terrible tragedy, Helios.

[He laughs softly.]

[ He holds up his hands and shakes his head in a slightly placating manner. Though he's laughing all the while as he shakes his head. ]

Oh heaven's no! I-I didn't mean it like that at all. Getting older is a part of life, it's nothing to feel tragedy over. You gain more memories as you live onward and learn more lessons too.

[He listens to Helios' words and then slightly blurts out something.]

Perhaps I will be able to live a few more years now that I am no longer ill.

[ Oh, dear, he was not expecting you to say that bro. But he curbs his wincing to a mere worrying of his lip. ]

Of course. I hope you'll be able to-to live a full and happy life here. I-I mean...as much as we're able to, when it comes to Luceti.

[ It's that one reason that he wished Giles could have stayed and that he desperately hoped he would, selfish as it may be to wish something like that. Giles deserved a happy life, more than he got at least, and Luceti was relatively peaceful and happy when all was said and done. ] I-I hope you'll at least let me contribute to giving you a decent and happy life, Frederic. You certainly deserve, having gone through what you have in your own life back on Earth.

[His expression curls into a gentle smile, as if to ease the worries of his friend.]

Thank you, Helios. I'll certainly live a happier life here than at home, to say the least. Surrounded by others whom I trust and care for means a great deal to me.

[ His smile is genuine and heartwarming at Frederic's words. ]

Well whatever we can do to make you feel more at home, don't hesitate to ask. I-I know that we can get you another piano for the house if you'd like?

[He gives Helios his own genuine warm smile.]

The one in the house currently is fine for me. We can worry about obtaining another one for my room at a later date.

I suppose I suppose. But we have plenty of rooms in the house now. We got two extra floors added to it. We could probably even make one a, ah, practice music room. I-I could make a sound dampening spell for the walls so you could play until your heart's content!

That would be wonderful, Helios. You're truly a good and kind friend to me. I will be sure to repay you one day.
