You were a master and this clueless? I pity your disciples.

If you wish to learn though, I recommend finding the Four Seasons Manor here. They're also fools, but they know quite a bit. The lords of the manor are also husbands.

[faeshim]

oh, i had no disciples. frogs and birds and beavers are all born knowing what to do, they needed no help from me.

the four seasons manor...i like the sound of it!

[yeoldmonster]

[... well that explains a few things.]

It is famed in our world as having flowers bloom all year round and being the most knowledgeable.

[He provides directions on how to get there.]

You sound like a child for all your years. Have you counted correctly?

[faeshim]

are you sure one of these husbands is not a fae?

mm. it's exactly as i've said. i cannot lie.

[yeoldmonster]

A fae? What is this?

[faeshim]

it is what i am. and making flowers bloom is what i do.

[yeoldmonster]

Any gardener can do that. What makes a fae so special?

[faeshim]

that depends on which fae you ask. seelie would say that they are powerful and beautiful, and that makes them special. unseelie would say that they are strong and cunning, and that makes them superior.

i have the blood of both. i think all of this just makes them cruel.

[yeoldmonster]

You don't seem to take after either one of these. You don't seem bright and you said you were ugly. No wonder you're a gardener who is master of a bunch of beavers and squirrels.

[faeshim]

[a gardener who is a master of beavers and squirrels.... there's only one way for daeshim to take that:]

your kind words are appreciated! i will give you one of my last acorns, should we ever meet face to face.

[yeoldmonster]

[He blinks. His.. what?]

What use would I have of an acorn? If you need it, you should keep it.

[faeshim]

it is a ruinwood acorn.

[that says it all???]

[yeoldmonster]

[He rolls his eyes.]

An acorn is an acorn. What difference does it make where it comes from? If you're sentimental toward it because it comes from your home why are you offering it?

[faeshim]

it is because it is precious to me that i offer it. you do not show your gratitude by offering something worthless. did your master not teach you this?

[also it's kind of magical but daeshim doesn't even think about this point.]

[yeoldmonster]

[It seems so long ago, how is he to remember what his master taught him?]

Fine then. Next time we meet, I'll accept your acorn.

[faeshim]

good. we are in agreement.
