[ Alex starts looking for Lorem a few days after the rainstorm. Hopefully she's in her room - he's dressed in something that finally fits his height, with a piece of furniture trailing behind him.
He'll pass through the various rooms in search of her. Hopefully she's in? ]

[ she's in the garage, her designated bed room in the house, and she's busy trying to set aside a gold and white uniform when she hears someone approaching her room.
looking up at the direction of the door, kept open during the day to allow visitors to know they're welcome to come in, her face has a smile springing forth when she sees who's there.
... with the smile quickly disappearing upon seeing the chair behind him.
ummm. okay. that's definitely not a thing she'd expect to see in remis. on the lornful light? of course, considering who was part of engineering. here? not at all.
with her brow furrowing in confusion, lorem gestures behind alex because... he knows there's a chair behind him, right? ]

[ He tilts his head at Lorem's confusion, though permission had been given for him to enter and so he will.
The chair continues to follow him, floating over to an unobtrusive corner of her room while he raises his device with a prewritten message: ]
It followed me here for some reason. I figure that you would use it better than I do.
[ She might need something to rest on, and it's much quieter than a wheelchair. (Not that he knows what a wheelchair is.) ]

[ alright then.
make yourself at home, chair. lorem doesn't have a lot of things in her room just yet so there's still some room for them. ]
I suppose it would be useful since it can carry my things around for me while I do my rounds. [ she has to cover her mouth to smother a giggle because- ] Though I think I need to alert the townsfolk about this arrangement. They have so much to deal with as is. I don't want them to think the furniture is getting possessed on top of their affairs.

Not at all. In fact, this isn't common where I'm from too. Which is saying something since I've been living on a starship for the last six years.
It wouldn't hurt to alert them. Last thing I want to do is scare someone if they see Seat floating around with a sheet drapped over it.

[ to lorem, it’s a charming 'thing' for alex. it certainly helps her pick out his messages when checking her device before she sees the usernames. ]
That's so sweet of you to do! Thank you so much, Alex. I think you're better suited for the job since you must have more knowledge about Seat and what they're like.

Not at all! The whole point of the billboard is to alert everyone at their own pace.
We had something similar back on the Lornful Light. This hubboard that displayed messages and announcements and invitations to things going on the ship. Long as you didn't use crude languages or the like, everyone was encouraged to use it. Made navigating the inbox of our commlinks easier.

[ It seemed similar to the signs maintained by the Adventurer's Guild in Eorzea, but this bulletin board seemed to lack an overseer. Thus he wasn't sure. ]
I understand.
It does seem quite handy to have. [ Imagine how much efficiency could be improved if Eorzea had digital technology.... but then again, they were associated with Allagans, so it might not be that accepted. ]

[ how would he feel about the wild west that is nodice's note nook tho. people there are encouraged to write over others' notes-
looking pleased as punch by these turn of events, lorem nods along with alex's comments. ]
It is. Given how we can't make much sound and not everyone has our device, it'll be wise to use the billboard whenever we can.
If you need help in setting it up, let me know? The least I can do since, technically, Seat is my responsibility now.

[ tbh, he'd probably just give up on getting coherency on it ]
I'll let you know if I need help.
[ Though, now that the matter of the chair has been settled, he has other things to bring up: ]
Did you find anything around that might have belonged to you?
I found Seat near the Reset room.

[ oh! that causes her to remember something. ]
Now that you mention it? I did. Give me a second. I'll show you.
[ lorem sets her device down long enough to hurry over to where she's keeping her collection of clothes.
she pulls out a complete set of clothes - a gold and white uniform that had some sort of writing sewn into the gold lining of the capelet. ]
My liaison uniform! It was by the fountain; I found it during my rounds around the houses to help in sewing.

[ lorem blushes in both embarrassment and pride, happy to have another bit of home with her. especially something as important like her uniform. ]
A friend of ours - Threedsun of the Silent Sorrows - xe made it for me. Xe noticed I wasn't wearing an actual uniform during our first trip to the sanctuary. [ that had been a hilarious experience, now that she looks back at the scolding from her friend with fondness.
she's more than happy to hand it over to alex for better inspection, having come to trust alex enough that she's not afraid to let him handle her things if he expresses an interest in whatever it is. ]

[ He weighs the fabric gently in his hands, opening his perception to the weave of the cloth. It's unlike anything he has ever handled, and that is considering he has handled things as fantastical as silk from Allagan chimerics thousands of years dead.
Light, smooth and absorbent. He knows not what the environment on her ship is, but the uniform is clearly expertly tailored.
So, after a while: ]
The skill in this piece is beyond what I can perceive. I hope to be able to sew like this someday.

If I ever get a chance to meet Threedsun again, I'll make sure to pass your compliments along. Xe love to hear the feedback or comments from others. [ she looks a little melancholic while she looks down at the uniform. it had been two years since she last saw of xem. she hopes xer alright, faring well back at the sanctuary.
but she shakes her head and smiles back up at alex, making excited little gestures with her hands while she ends a message- ] If you have time to stay, you can stay here and I can tell you stories about xem. Xe told me some of xyr secrets in how they sew and weave cloth.

I do have time. I would love to hear your stories, as always.
[ He has little memories of his own, so learning about others helps a little with his empty frame of reference. That, and Lorem is a great storyteller - even if her words are condensed by the medium they are forced to communicate in, he is able to feel her emotions. It more than compensates for everything. ]

[ it takes her longer than it should have for her to reply: ]
Of course I am.
I want to help. [ much as her stomach twists at the idea of being near them again after... after what happened, lorem isn't going to back down. not when she can help others. ]

Hey, Lorem. You holdin' up ok?
