Ah, not really a gardener, really...I dabble in plants from time to time, though.

[In more ways than one.]

[The more she talks, the more he remembers them as children, chatting about nothing in particular as children do. Things were simpler back then. Happier. It's nice to remember those times, even now.]

That's too nice of you. You know, my favorite kind of food is always homemade. [He tilts his head, a sweet smile on his face.] I know I sound sappy, but Alice...I'm really glad we're meeting like this. It's so good to see you.

I'm happy, too.

[ There is a slight urge to reach across the table and pat his hand. She must seem awkward as she still wears a small smile, slightly grimacing at the thought. It's too soon for Alice to even touch a hand. ]

Please, let me know if you're ever back in Leith.

[ Saying that now, Alice realizes how lonely she is. ]

But of course! I travel back and forth all the time.

[The life of a Scarback (and a revolutionary} is a hardworking one. He sometimes wises he could be divided in two to be on two planets at once.]

[He senses the sadness behind that phrase, and gives her a reassuring smile.]

Seriously, Alice, if you need me, just give me a call. I'll be here for you.

[He means it.]
