The Black Mage Village never changes very much, other than with the cycle of seasons. It's spring now, with flowers in bloom, gentle sun, light breezes, and the occasional puffy cloud. Gardens are being worked on, Genomes and the few adult Mages wandering around. Not far from the door to the Nexus - which stands all on it's own and appears to go nowhere, unless you look through it - is Mr. 33. He's been trying to teach Bobby and Betty, the village's two chocobos, to pull a cart. This is only a marginal success, as the chocobos just want to follow him or Mr. 111, and get petted. Vivi is also not far from the Nexus Door, watching it in case of visitors.

Love freezes as soon as she's through the door, her face turned toward the sun as she tries to figure out this sudden rush of scents and feelings in the air. She's never smelled so many scents at once; never felt both warmth and moisture at the same time except when she was in the bathing room. This... she had to stop and look....

The Magelets will let her stay where she is as long as she wants to. Vivi heads over to them. While most of them are busy explaining things to him, Luca tries spelling This is our village to Love.

She doesn't notice at first, but then pauses and closes her fingers just slightly. It's harder to understand now, and when he's done she tells him, Again, hoping to catch his meaning on the second try.

Love doesn't show as much expression as a sighted person would, but it's clear she's a little confused as she 'listens'. When he's done she says, using her sign for him and the sign for 'place', Luca place?

Love responds in kind, unconciously showing him her sign for greeting. Then she adds, Me Love.

Hello Love signs Vivi, taking note of and using the signs she'd used. Mages might seem a bit slow to some, but they were designed with very good memories. After all, who wanted to have to repeat orders to weapons multiple times before they knew what to do?

She's not sure what 'big' means, so she focuses on what she thinks she does. Show Love place for Love?

Ok spells Vivi, and then they'll be on the way to the inn again. Luca makes sure they stop at various points on the way to touch various landmarks.

These all get looked at and sniffed very carefully, and once more those small feet peeking out from under the bottom hem of the gown are looking at the way too.

Love will be likewise introduced to the door to the Inn, the door to one of the rooms, and the room and its contents - bed, table, chair, window...

She lingers by the window, feeling the heat through the glass and turning her face toward it.

The glass is a new thing for the Mages, traded for through the Nexus. They'd have never managed to bring such a breakable thing all the way from Condie Petie, and weren't sure of how to make it yet.

Luca will try to guide Love's hands and show her how to open the window when she wants to.

She 'listens' carefully, her fingers examining everything about the process. Then she takes Luca's hand and tells him that she understands before closing and then opening the window herself... with his hand in hers so that he can see that she's doing it.

Happy Luca is happy.

Vivi has a question, though. But since Luca's closest right now he asks the Magelet to ask it.

And so, Luca spells out Do you want food?

Uncertainly, she repeats his spelling of 'food', and then adds a question sign, unsure of what he means.

Luca spells out yes, and then, thinking about it, places one of Love's hands to the side of his face so she can feel him nod.

It seems so funny to see a head saying yes. Love shows him how to say yes with his hand, then takes her apple from her pocket and lets him touch it.

Love have Eat.

Luca pays careful attention to the sign, and will teach it to the other mages later. Apple he writes, in response to seeing it. And then wonders what else to talk about.

She's not really sure what he means with apple, but repeats it uncertainly before nibbling at the fruit and putting it back into the pocket of her dusty gown.

Then she has a request. Love drink?

Luca will relay this, and it won't be all that long before someone returns with a glass of milk. He'll guide Love's hand to the glass.

She tips it up and drinks thirstily, her eyes closing with delight. One long chug session drains it, and then she sighs.

The Magelets are very 'yay, she likes milk' at the moment. Luca waits to take the empty glass or to see if she wants anything else.

Love finds the windowsill, meaning to put the glass onto it. Her face, meanwhile, is turning toward the sunshine coming through that window.

Kaze's ready with a float spell, just in case the glass goes toppling. Either way, he'll be there to take the glass back to Mr. 44. Luca stays near Love in case she needs to tell them anything else.

It looks... like she's tracking the sunbeam. And she is, as is proven when she settles on the floor in the light, her face still turned toward the warmth. She's forgotten about her new friends in her appreciation of this old one that she hasn't seen in awhile.

The Mages won't mind. Most will go back to their usual daily activities, leaving Love to enjoy the sunbeam. At least one Mage or Magelet will stay in the room, taking turns, in case she needs to ask something.
