eulalia | Veridia Round 7: Seax Farm (Reply)

As you might've spied a few posts back, Fial has a new hairstyle. I love her braids and we'll probably go back to them eventually, but this is so cute too! <3

~~Hell yeah~~ I mean, oh dear! I almost rolled a second number to choose which sim to do this with, but I looked at everyone's fears and decided it would be most interesting to torment Faro.

Faro: *hackcough* Great.

Can you cover your mouth instead of coughing on the cows? Thanks.

Oh, also, get used to seeing that pop-up.

Gwendolen and Sabren are still besties. When she can get away with it (aka, away from her mother), Gwen comes into town with her big brother and spends the day either with Sabren or Cináed.

Faro: *achoo*

Fial: Faro? Are you feeling alright?

Faro: I'm fine, Mum!

Fial: Maybe you should lie down.

Faro: I'm not sick! It's just a sneeze. Really, Mum.

Faro: Ugh... maybe Mum's right, I should lie down for a bit. Ugh.

Of course, it's hard to get to sleep with everyone running about the farm and your baby niece banging on her toys right next to your cot.

It's a quiet night at home for everyone else while Kinet and Aífe head over to the mead hall for a few hours.

Don't worry, Kinet, I don't think anyone but you is able or willing to put up with Aífe's bullheadedness. <3

* * *

Faro: Pleeeeease tell Mum it's fine if I work today. I feel great, really.

Dinn: I mean... if the boy says he feels fine, I'm sure he's fine, love.

Fial: *sigh* Just take it easy, alright?

I happened to scroll over to the house from where the grown-ups were working on the farm and found that Orla had magically appeared to baby-sit. Thanks, Orla!

Sabren made her bear come out with her to watch her jump rope.

Anyway, since Faro has recovered from his latest cold, I decided to let him spend the afternoon at the market. 👀

Spotted: Cináed, I think that shield is a little too big for you. Just because it's over half your size.

Good to know, I guess. You maybe don't have to do the fake barfing right in front of him, though.

They're on a date. 🥰

Oh, right, the sim I'm actually here to play!

Faro has a fear of being rejected for a dance, but alas, their chemistry is just too strong and Acca is happy to groove with him.

Faro: You know, I want to become a bard myself.

Acca: Yeah? That's cool.

Faro: Maybe next time I could bring my fiddle and play something for you.

Acca: Sure, that could be entertaining.

wooooo, ROS accomplished! Thanks for your help, Acca!

Wow, what a great date.

* * *

I just think it's cute to watch them doing their hobbies together.

Kinet: Ready for take-off?

Sabren: Do it, do it, do it!

Kinet: Sorry, sweetheart.

Sabren: Aw, but it was really fun until I felt sick. Can we do it again?!

Kinet: Um... maybe more slowly this time.

I was convinced Norweni's friend would be either Eisu or Maddan, but she surprised me with one of the kids instead. Much cuter. I guess she's smart enough not to invite Maddan around Fial and suffer her sister's judgment.

Senovara: Mummy, mummy, I want to show you something.

Norweni: Hmm?

Norweni: You can show me later, Senna, okay?

Senovara: But... my static trick. :(

Faro's mum insisted he go to bed early, since he's been ill, but little does she know that he already made plans to sneak out with Jia and her anachronistic hansom cab. Not sure what the teens do when they sneak out in this hood. Go run around the woods and drink mead they stole from their parents, I assume.

The sweet taste of cold turkey after a successful sneak out.

* * *

Norweni is here a lot this round! I think she gets lonely at home when the kids are staying with Diseta.

Fial: Are you sleepy, sweetheart? We'll get you tucked in for your nap. Wenna, are you excited to have grandbabies someday soon?

Norweni: Not particularly, and Sun is not that old yet, thank the spirits. I think you've always liked the baby stage more than I do.

Fial: Oh, but they're so cute and sweet and snuggly at this age!

Norweni: They also can't talk or do anything interesting. But she is cute, yes.

Kinet took Sabren to the park public well with him, and I'm starting to think I need to put another chessboard or something somewhere else on the lot, because NO ONE WILL LEAVE THAT TEN TILE AREA.

Hey, uhhhh, do either of you want to do your job and check on that mysterious hooded thief walking by? No? Okay, just checking.

Who is getting Faro sick again?! It wasn't me this time, I swear.

Spotted: Kara walking by with her wolf puppy/dog who I never bothered to name. I aged her up when Acca did. :)

Back home, Sabren taunts her little sister and then immediately catches Faro's new cold. Karma?

Sabren gets tucked into bed to rest under the watchful eye of her bear. Maybe if you had a bear, you would get sick less often, Faro.

Fial: That's it. Honey, that cough sounds awful. You need to see one of the healers tomorrow.

Faro: It's just a cold, Mum.

Fial: I insist.

Faro: Aw, but that medicine Helenet makes tastes awful.

Fial: But it's effective!

By the morning, Sabren and Faro both feel better, but most of the cows are sick. Faro, I told you not to cough on the cows!!

Fial needs a proper dairy, but I think this lot would crash even more than it already does if I added another building to it.

Faro must be so happy to be well again just in time to pull onions and spend time fixing them up to dry.

But he does get out of going to see the healer and visits the market with his mum, Aífe, and Sabren instead. Aw, and Xiuying and Sabren are talking about Xiuying's new nephew. :)

Impromptu family dance party!!!

Faro: Oh, hi—Kara, right?

Kara: Yes. Hi, Faro.

Faro has been struck by ~~Cupid's arrow~~ — *pauses, shuffles through notes* Cerunnos' arrow? Idk. But Kara leaves the lot before he can properly talk to her.

Aífe: I can't believe you're getting married again. Aren't you a little old for that?

Cian: I'm fifty, not dead, child. Derelei is a lovely, good woman.

Aífe: All I'm saying is that it'll be very weird for me if I end up with a sibling younger than my own children.

Can someone get this boy some hand sanitizer or something? Masks? Perhaps some sort of vitamin would fix him?

* * *

Willow would like some of this pie the humans are talking about.

Maybe the pie is under the grass.

Glamaer needs a new bestie to gossip with while Drustan is away. Perhaps Kinet can fill the position?

Back home, Faro is coughing again.

Fial: That's it! Dinn, go fetch Helenet or her son.

Faro: I'm not that sick, really.

Fial: I don't care!

* * *

Fial: Well?

Helenet: That cough may not sound very pretty, but I'm fairly sure it's only a cold. Faro, do cover your mouth when you cough, please.

Fial: My father had a sickness of the heart. Do you think...

Helenet: His symptoms don't match with any heart problems I'm familiar with. Really, Fial, it's a cold.

Fial: But why is he always getting sick?

Helenet: That... is less easy to answer. Some people are just prone to catching every cold or flu that goes around.

Helenet: I do have an elderberry tincture that might help your colds. Take a spoonful each morning.

Faro: That sounds less gross than your usual medicines. No offense.

Helenet: Well, it has a few other things in it that may not taste great. But the good news is it's just one spoonful!

* * *

Faro: Sun! You're friends with everyone. Do you know Kara?

Sun: Not everyone. She's a little bit younger than you and me... I think Cináed knows her? Why?

Faro: Uh, I ran into her at the market the other day, and she's really pretty and I really want to get to know her, but she left before I could say any of that?

Sun: Oh no, someone's lovestruck.

Faro: I am not. Ugh, never mind, I need to be getting back home before Mum notices I'm not resting. Are you coming to Liona's birthday later?

Sun: Of course!

Fial found a kitty. :3

Kinet: I guess we can put away the cradle and the other baby things soon.

Aífe: Yeah... just make sure you keep taking those herbs from the midwife so we don't have to take them back out!

Kinet: Aye aye, ma'am!

Helenet: How is Faro today?

Fial: Better. Want to come in for Liona's birthday? I made honey cake!

j/k, the cake is cheese.

I think Lee takes after her mother so far, but something about her face also reminds me of Fial.

Fial: Okay, chop-chop you two.

Faro: I hate to interrupt your weird flirting thing—

Sun: Ugh, Faro, it's not flirting. We're best friends.

Faro: —excuse you, I claimed Jia as my best friend before you. Anyway, Jia, do you know Kara of Wyll?

Jia: Noooo. What's this about again?

Sun: Faro's in lurrrrrve.

Faro: I am not! I just think she's really pretty and I want to bring her flowers and maybe pledge my eternal loyalty to her?

Jia: Wow, so, maybe turn that down a little before you actually talk to her again. You're coming off pretty strong there.

Faro: No offense, but I'm not sure I want to take advice from someone who can't even manage to confess her feelings to the person she loves.

Jia: What the fuck? Screw you too, Faro.

Luckily (?) for Jia, Sun is already distracted by something else

Fial: Oh, yes, Wenna was never a very good cook. When we were younger I used to think she did it on purpose to get out of her turn cooking, but she's just, uh... impatient?

Aífe: I can't believe you're letting Da get married again.

Graínne: What's this about letting? Your father's a grown man, Aífe, I have no say in what he does or doesn't do.

Aífe: I just think it's a bit odd...

Graínne: Well, you can think that if you want, but maybe try being happy for him when actually you're talking to him.
