hey snow. when you offered lessons on canning and drying, do you know how to dry mushrooms?

esp whats good to dry here since theres weird mushrooms around

thanks. hope ur doing good this month

Text; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

Oh yes, dried mushrooms are very easy. They're very similar to drying vegetables.

Oh, there are all sorts of mushrooms that grow here that are perfectly edible. There's button mushrooms, and chicken of the woods, morel, Trench is practically teaming with mushrooms, honestly.

And I'm having a very good month! What about you, Robby?

[strongroots]

cool. could i come for some lessons? im collecting them for trading and shops like them better dried. i could give you some too as payment or whatever else u want

and im doing fine. helping my teacher from home start up a self defense school so thats been keeping me busy. are ur animal friends going into hibernation now

[onebadapple]

You don't need to give me dried mushrooms as payment, Robby, I already have made some, and you'll need them for trade! [Snow is extremely bad at the whole trade and bartering thing.]

That's so very kind of you! I'm sure you're doing a lovely job and your teacher is very glad for the help.

Some of them are! Many of them are moving into their winter coats as well.

[strongroots]

then how about some pie. im being taught. promise it wont taste bad

and thanks. do your animals have anything that show theyre with u? it sounded like you dont see it as owning them
but they go back into the woods right

[onebadapple]

Well, I do love a very good pie. Alright, mushroom drying lessons for some pie then.

Oh, no, nothing like a collar or ribbon. Really it's just proximity.

[strongroots]

its a deal 👍 tell me anything you dont like or tell me your fav filling if you dont want it to be a surprise

but yeah? do you live near the part of the forest they stick to. i know someone who lives in a house with a bunch of animals. im still getting used to living with 2

[onebadapple]

Oh, any flavor is welcomed!... Except apple pie. Ever since I was poisoned by one I've always felt faint around them.

So anything with enough ingredients you can find would be welcomed, Robby.

I live in Crenshaw. I don't fight so it's best for me to live someplace safe. Though I was living in a bear cave before I found out I could just take any of the homes here if they were empty.

What two animals do you have? Perhaps I can provide some tips?

[strongroots]

that sucks, no wonder you dont want to go near them. got it. an apple wont be near the kitchen

also youre strong stuff surviving out in a bear cave

but theyre omens, mine and torys. i think you know her. shes got a giant lizard or dragon? and ive got a dog. i dont know if i have to treat them any way? mine is just quiet and helps me play music and i got told they dont need food?

i let it do whatever it wants and he seems to like guarding wherever i go

[onebadapple]

Thank you, that's very considerate of you.

Oh, not at all, the bear who let me stay with him was very sweet! I wasn't worried at all under his care! I only moved into a house once I realized I could just have one!

I do! Tory is a friend of mine! They don't need food, that is true, and your Omen is an aspect of you. Faramund is a part of me. So do you want a pet, then?

Your omen protects you the way all omens protect their people!

[strongroots]

i can stick with an omen for now. its kind of like a pet to me? even if theyre a part of us. thats what it feels like to me. i see it around and it looks like an animal

does that make sense? it sounds like youve always been surrounded by animals. but did you ever think of them like your pets? you know like. just one that was yours to you

does faramund speak to you or just guard you

[onebadapple]

Oh no, never a pet. I don't see anything wrong with it, but, well, when animals can speak to you and talk to you no differently than a person, it's hard to think of them in such ways!

I've had animal companions who have chosen to be close to me, but not one that is mine alone.

Oh he speaks to me, but only me. I know some omens can speak to others but he's the strong, silent type, you see. [Robby can probably practically HEAR Snow giggle at that last comment.]

[strongroots]

that makes sense. people really have different lives out there. bet you would make a great animal trainer tho

really? ill have to remember that if i ever meet him. mine doesnt talk much either but i think i would find it odd so maybe he knows. but hes been a cool guy anyway

[onebadapple]

An animal trainer? I suppose! My animal friends usually do what I ask. Several have asked for my help with the Nightmares. Everyone insists they're very scary but I've only ever had them cuddle and nuzzle me!

I imagine Faramund could speak to others if he wanted to. Especially if there were an emergency regarding me. But he knows I can understand him perfectly, I think.
