[sloth is chilling on one of the benches in the garden. they aren't sitting directly on it, but floating a little above the seat. they have a handful of poppies in their hands.]

Oh, hey! Come on in!

[fluffier]

[ She hadn't expected meeting up in person, so Yuel is chomping down on a sandwich as she makes her way to the garden, waving back and looking curiously at the poppies. ]

What'cha doin'?

[probe]

Making a crown!

[they hold up the half finished crown of red poppies to show yuel.]

[fluffier]

That's pretty! Yer pretty good with yer hands, huh?

[ Poppies... Her favourite colour. ]

[probe]

Yeah! Always using them to check off my list back home at my job!

[they lower the crown so they can complete the last little bit.]

Gluttony said you sword was really important. I guess I can commiserate. It's like being apart from my brother!

[fluffier]

[ She'll just settle down on the floor and watch them. ]

Aren't ya apart from him right now?

[probe]

Yeah, I am! Sometimes if I think about it, I get a little sad, I guess! I've never been away from him for a long time.

[fluffier]

Hehe, I know what that's like... I miss Societte a lot too. I've known her since I was a baby, so she's like a sister to me.

A lot of the people here... Aren't as friendly. Which makes sense since people keep dyin'.

[probe]

Some people just need a little time to grow on you!

[sloth, no. people here are assholes.]

You're trying to get your other sword back, right? Um, okay! I think I can help, but... can I ask a favor?

Will you get me Pride's autograph?

[fluffier]

Pride? [ didn't he almost knife her ] Aren't you two friends?

[probe]

Yeah!

[would pride acknowledge this? questionable.]

I just think it'd be really neat to have their autograph, you know? Under that cold, hard exterior, they're really legendary!

[fluffier]

[ . . . ]

If yer friends, can ya ask them yerself? Or is it like... I gotta do something for ya, so ya picked something easy for me.

[ is this easy? ]

[probe]

Oh, no, no, no.

I can't possibly ask them myself! They definitely think it's weird if I ask.

[fluffier]

... But not if I do it?

[probe]

Um... right!

[fluffier]

. . .

Okay. [ okay!! ] I'll do it, and then I can get my other sword?

[probe]

Yeah, you bet!

[fluffier]

[ she will remove pride's hand herself to get that autograph if she has to!

no jk ]

Alright, leave it to me then!

[ slaps sloth on the back!! she's pumped up! ]

[probe]

[YUEL!?]

ACK!

[they let out a thick cough.]

U-Um, ha--uh, goodluck?

[fluffier]

Whoa!

[ oh no... sloth is so smol... delicate.

She does feel bad, and will rub their back instead... gently... ]

Sorry, didn't mean to knock ya that hard.

[probe]

[STOP they are fragile in spirit. they wave their hands dismissively.]

I-It's fine! I'm fine, really!
