Not as much as I'd like- I've been running into issues with how I turn my wrist when moving into a counter attack. But that's been a challenge for as long as I can remember, honestly. [Moving between offensive to defensive always made Eilonwy mentally trip up for a second. The movements were different enough to be a challenge, but familiar enough that they felt like they shouldn't have been one.] It does seem busy, doesn't it? Have you looked into finding older paths? There could be routes around the crowded parts, maybe?

[The absolute rush of beings during some of Eilonwy's mid-day visits would really beg to differ.]

[magusrobin]

I’m sure you will figure it out. Maybe someone around town might have some tips on how to make the transition easier?

[Chise herself was one who didn’t really work with swords, so she knew she could only provide advice. Even so, Eilonwy was smart - and her determination helped set her mind on the task.]

Hmmm, I feel like the city is so large compared to what I’m used to… and the fact that a lot of us Dreamers are over here now just adds to the amount of people. Which isn’t bad… I’m glad it seems like the living situations have settled again. [Chise herself would be firmly keeping in House Trick or Treat, even with the longer ‘commute’ to Lumindeas, so to speak.] I’m sure I’ll figure it out. And worst that happens is I keep an eye on the daylight and find what times are good for walking in the fields.

[So long as she doesn’t disrupt the farmers’ work or anything.]

[waterfawn]

Maybe. If I can't figure it out then I can ask.

[But for the time being Eilonwy would keep trying to figure it out on her own. She picked up one of the butter cookies and had a bite as she thought.] Right- it'd be better to take a route when there isn't work being done or when the sun isn't as high.

[One of the hardest parts of walking Prydain as a whole was keeping track of the weather, which included knowing when to seek shade. Or in other cases, when to postpone the leg of a journey.] I'm glad things have settled, too, it seemed like it wouldn't for a little bit.

[magusrobin]

Especially with the summer approaching. [Chise nods. The time of day that she took her walks was much easier to control than the amount of people that decided to be present during them!]

As is with this place. [Times of hardship following by times of relaxation, expect it had felt pretty dicey for a bit there. And speaking of settling!] Ah!

[Chise hopped up from the table, nearly forgetting why Eilonwy had stopped by in the first place.] I’ll grab them real quick.

[She had decided to store the potpourri in a cabinet in her room. Partly so that no one might unseal it thinking it was sealed food, but also since she knew her room was kept pretty consistent in terms of environment. The move from her old Cottage to her current home had been somewhat nerve-wracking on if the potpourri would still keep but-

Tada!

When Chise came back downstairs, she gently placed the two glass containers of potpourri mixes on the table.] They both seem to have turned out alright. [Giving her friend a smile.] Shall we divide them into pouches once we are done with tea?

[waterfawn]

[ooc- internally screaming at how late this reply is]

[Eilonwy leaned forward to look at both jars with a soft,] Oh! [They did look very nice, and Eilonwy nodded as she sat back.] That would be nice. Did it take very long for everything to mix together?

[magusrobin]

[Chise thinks for a moment.] What takes the longest is waiting for it to settle and mix, I think. We did all the ‘hard’ work that day we put them together, then it’s a matter of waiting.

Though… I suppose waiting can be its own form of difficulty for some people.

[She smiles, taking a sip of tea.] I like to check on them every now and then, just in case the seal would become loose, but these ones turned out well.
