019 ♍ video
[ it's early afternoon and kanaya is in the greenhouse, tending to a row of black calla lilies, watering can in one hand, clippers in the pocket of her apron. she has a headband on to keep her bangs out of her eyes, and a smudge of dirt or two on her cheek. she doesn't look like she's slept in a while. in fact, it's probably been days.
her communicator is propped up on a shelf above the flowers so she can speak to it while keeping her hands free. ]
I've been thinking about it, and i's something of an awkward question, but in the interest of cultural sensitivity, it needs to be asked. You see, it occurs to me that certain words have...numerous contexts depending on the user's place of origin, and in some cases can be utterly and unwittingly obscene. [ she stops and places her hand on her chin, looking up at the communicator. well, that will be more dirt, won't it. ] I was told once that I should write a book about my planet for human education, but I don't know about that. I'm not much of a writer.
[ she turns back to her flowers. ] That said, ignorance can only be dispelled through education, so there will need to be...some sort of offering to make. So, if a list could be collected from various non-humans on practices that would be untoward from humans unaware of the implications of these actions, perhaps a pamphlet could be prepared and left at the Porter's housing unit. I think it's worse considering, at least, but I'll need some assistance in constructing it, namely from any others from non-Earth planets to contribute things I may not be aware of, either.
[ she sits there lingering on the thought for a moment before setting the can down and rising to her feet, her hands dusting off at the top of the frame before she reaches over to take the communicator. ] While I'm on the topic of bridging cultures, we're not far from your holiday celebrating romantic successes.
[ she pans the camera out across the area to show what she's been working on. the greenhouse is growing a great many flowers which are just now coming into full bloom in a brilliant display of blacks, pinks, and reds, with a small corner of a few grey things growing. she'd have liked to expand that one, but her choices were limited as it was and there was sadly little demand for them anyway. ]
Last year, Jade and I offered bouquets to fit each of my culture's quadrants. She...may not be here anymore, but I thought I should carry on the endeavor in her absence. A tradition must be continued if it expects to be established, after all. So I will be accepting orders from now until Thursday's end, and delivery is available.
I hope you all enjoy the day as it approaches.

[ 'At her whim' sticks out to her. Just who is this person who decides who gets to stay and go? Why did they bring her here? To keep Archer in line? So far all she's managed to do is ruin things more for him.
She's too caught up in her thoughts to answer Kanaya's question about the vase so have an awkward silence with an equally uncomfortable look in her eyes. ]

It happens all the time. Or had you not noticed all of the arrivals and departures happening around you?

I've noticed a bit, but I didn't think anything of it. People can leave this City and travel the world. How can you be sure that they've left this world entirely?
[ Unless Second Magic was involved. That explains how Saber doesn't know a thing about Archer and herself, right? ]

I know because I have some dominion over Space, as you would have seen before. [ when she opened the portal between the pie hole and kidhaus, when she used them to contain john and davesprite in the living room with rose. ] Even when someone is beyond the range to which I can easily move, with enough work I can generally trace the point where they reside, with enough effort.
