[This talk about a nice man whose nephew she could imagine her daughter one day marrying is a strange follow up to "he brought me to this club and is currently busy doing lewd things to another man." Liem's mental image of Cardan grows more convoluted by the minute.]

Obviously the ideal would be to introduce your daughter and his nephew and have them fall in love, and choose for themselves to be married. This is no less possible than the arranged marriage, no?

Have you told him that he has a god-grandchild?

[lumberlady]

[it’s all a complicated mélange… the point is sometimes you can be a good person while also being this lewd in clubs, look, Konoha was shocked, too… apparently it’s a faerie thing.]

this would be wonderful yes
too bad different worlds!
then komatsu could have so many good godparent!?
(and future suitor!)
nice dream…

i think i fell!
but now is drunk so drunk because is DRYAD for fitting in club
and SUMARLOK dress to fitting in club
so i am only 60 parts sure!
i will tell him again when CARDAN returns!
like congratulations!!!
he is elf so plant is more than plant to human is congratulations

[sterngaze]

[I-is he a good person?? This man brought Konoha to some horrible future world club, got her incredibly drunk, and left her by herself! For absolute shame...]

Yes, do tell him.

And won't you send me a picture of yourself in your Sumarlok dress? I've never seen you dressed to go to a club.

[lumberlady]

[hey she is… perhaps safe in the VIP…… right???]

i will!

i will second time “i will”!
do you like?
CARDAN picks because he knows fashion thing!

[attached, a selfie of Konoha at what looks to be a very expensive VIP area, wearing a green dress that sparkles with bright flowers in her hair. at least despite her current predicament? she looks rather happy. very drunk, too, but!!!]

[sterngaze]

[Even though he's by himself and she can't see him looking, Liem tries not to outright stare into that deep neckline in her selfie. She looks every bit the future world club-goer in such a sparkly, daring dress.]

Now I see what you meant when you said you brought him a snack. You look irresistible.

Have you been experiencing the Noctian innovation of "cocktails"?

1/2

[lumberlady]

[Liem may have stumbled upon Cardan’s strategy there… Has Konoha realized part of her dress is bait??? Hard to tell.]

LIEM thinks so?
is such different style for i
and some scandal…

yes!
i try many
taste is not always good
but color is pretty!
look!

[attached, a photo of a purple cocktail]

LIEM should send I a picture also!

[lumberlady]

😏

[sterngaze]

That is certainly a pleasing colour. I suppose it's only fair if I send a picture as well, though I'm not looking anywhere near as bewitching as you tonight.

[The picture he sends shows Liem somewhere in Emerald Park, dressed in his freshly-laundered and repaired inquisitor's robes, with his bow slung over one shoulder. He's also very clearly holding a dead rabbit.]

You caught me doing a bit of hunting.

1/2

[lumberlady]

[okay, not what she was expecting or drunkenly hoping for, but you know what SHE CAN WORK WITH THIS]

[lumberlady]

oh yes
much capable man PHOTO
i am saving it

LIEM can not stop i!

[sterngaze]

No, I certainly can't. 😌🐰

It's quite lovely out tonight. I know it doesn't really look the same in the middle of the city.

[He sends another photo, this one catching a couple of Noctium's moons over the crowns of the trees.]

[lumberlady]

[Oh no, the rabbit emoji... ! Somewhere in an underground club in Sapphire, a centaur-turned-dryad gets the giggles alone in the VIP...

But oh, the picture... She stares at it rather fondly, completely ignoring a drink some poor sap has had sent over. The moon... Nikolai taught her about the moon. And "moons", too.]

LIEM is right.
the moon is very beautiful tonight.
now i can see.

[sterngaze]

Isn't it? Now you can see it, even though you're busy experiencing that very loud, crowded basement.

Don't forget to drink plenty of water, Konoha. I wouldn't want you to become ill.

[lumberlady]

i will drink water
so not again hanging over.
promise.

but do not forget the bad music, LIEM
is so so bad

[and is that... yup, Konoha's calling. ring... ring...]

[sterngaze]

Indeed? How bad?

[Even before he's actually sent his reply, he sees the Incoming Call notification pop up on his screen. Perhaps he's about to find out.

Liem accepts the call and starts walking again, clutching his phone between his ear and shoulder as he secures his rabbit so it's hanging from his belt.]

Hello? Konoha?

[lumberlady]

[Konoha had learned her lesson trying to make phone calls here, so though she says “hello!” back, she isn’t sure he’ll hear her.

But he will hear…

EDM.]

[sterngaze]

[Liem ranges pretty far out into Emerald Park on his outings, so the noises of the city have faded almost completely, and for the most part are masked entirely by the susurration of the wind in the trees and the chirping of crickets and frogs. It's a peaceful, serene experience—except for the tinny EDM pulsing from his phone speaker. Liem listens for a long quiet moment, during which he simply walks along a narrow game trail passing through the forest. Eventually, he speaks again.]

You're right. This is terrible.

[lumberlady]

[once Liem is done… the phone clicks, Konoha hangs up.

then texts a very quick,]

correct!!!
no sense?
no story to words?
just saying random thing over and over while instruments are banging loud!

is like making my hearts beat strange
heart

what is appeal?
CARDAN say dancing
and yes people here like but
no…

[sterngaze]

But it's so loud... I know gems and humans don't have very good hearing, but this seems excessive even for them.

[Sorry to every human or gem he has ever privately had this thought about.]

Is there a lot of dancing going on there?

[lumberlady]

it is so loud!
thank gods i am DRYAD now
or maybe ear hurts so much…

yes!
see?

[the next attached photo is a picture of the club’s dance floor, and even though it’s a bit blurry… that sure is a lot of people really close and a lot of skin wao]

[sterngaze]

[Well, he can see that Konoha isn't exactly under-dressed despite the amount of skin her dress is showing. He supposes it must get quite warm in there with all those bodies so close together.]

There doesn't really look like a lot of room for dancing. If any of them attempted a good spin, they'd probably smack a person for each direction on the compass.

Have you been out on the dance floor too, Konoha?

[lumberlady]

[admittedly… it is very hot in here, there’s some practicality…]

correct!
they are not spinning
most is moving hip and rump
and raising arms to jump?

i tried with CARDAN!
but this dancing type feels like half sex
is too embarrassing…

[sterngaze]

It looks like half sex.

[Is that gem over on the left rubbing their butt up against the person behind them...?]

Does Cardan come from a future world also? I have to admit to being surprised that an elf would seek out a place like this.

[lumberlady]

yes...

[because yes they are, Liem??? it's not even dancing it's just sexy movements...]

yes he is
living in faerie world mostly
but human world outside
sounds like future world to i.

but actually
now i remember
does LIEM remember after cursed GEM transforming
there was many strange dream?
then i see CARDAN's home
big elf and faerie party
and no one dance like this but
faerie in this world is
much




free
in public.

so maybe for CARDAN this much is nothing...

[sterngaze]

Oh...

[Much free... in public...]

That sounds right, actually. At least, elves in my world have a reputation for being that way.

The most well-known elven goddess is known as the patron of lust and revenge. I have never been to one of her services, but I have heard some... outlandish tales about them.
