That's okay, I wasn't doing my best either. I don't remember it very well if that helps. I don't know if you said anything weird.

[ornithologist]

Very generous of you, considering I'm nearly certain I did.

You seemed to be doing a bit better when I ran into you the other day.

Thank you, I'm trying. I don't want to be a bummer.

Which option did you want the most? for the poll. I can vote for it.

[ Oh. He isn't expecting the offer and it strikes him as very sweet. ]

Thank you, but it is an earnest attempt to collect feedback. Please answer honestly.

Sometimes all of us are bound to be a "bummer," I'm afraid. It wasn't any hardship to speak with you then.

[tinflower]

Okay... I don't have a preference so I was okay voting for what someone else wants.

I'll think about it

Thanks again

[ Harold won't push; it's not his nature and they don't know each other well. ]

Not at all. Please let me know if you think of something for us to collaborate on, Mr. Thistlespring.

I'm quite enjoying my bird and bear-dog at my desk.

[ You shouldn't be impolite and dump on people!! It's the rules! ]

Okay. You can do the same too? I'm still learning about computer software made without magic technology but Aurora gave me books on robotics so I'm trying to take time to understand it.

Or I can make more figures. Someone asked for a car model. I'm going to make it drive and have working lights.

[ He thinks for a second, and sends separately: ]

I can make you a better bird

[ It is the rules, but it's also in the rules that you get a bunch of free passes as a traumatized angsty teen, at least in Harold's book. ]

I'll take you up on that -- actually, I'm quite interested in learning how your trade works as a whole, if you wouldn't mind. Just a rudimentary explanation sometime would be fine. It seems more approachable to me than some of the alternative "magical" crafts here.

I'm fond of the bird I have, but I wouldn't say no to more. If you're interested, I know quite a lot about various types.
