Open: And they're gonna bend their branches down to lay their fruit upon the ground

[vineleaves]

Dionysus is in a kitchen, apron tied over a purple dress with vine details, singing to himself as he uses a melon baller to scoop out a watermelon. The large bowl next to him is already full of honeydew melon and cantaloupe, and he's got a few other ingredients nearby ready to add in once he's done with the watermelon. Mint leaves, some honey, some lemon juice, and some lime juice.

It has been quite an eventful time lately, but overall his life is pretty great right now.

Comments

"We're both certainly louder than you are, but that doesn't mean you're any less fun, dear."

[lanselos_du_lac]

"No?" He gives a little smile. "Perhaps I am learning well, then."

[vineleaves]

"Anyway, I'm sure Étienne would agree with me, that you're fun."

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot laughs, surprised, "I should hope so!"

Of course, now he's a little worried that that's not the case, but he will do his best not to say so.

[vineleaves]

"We need to all hang out together sometime!"

[lanselos_du_lac]

His eyebrows go up, "Dost think so?"

[vineleaves]

"Of course! Why not?"

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot shakes his head and smiles, "There is no reason not to. I am only a little surprised. I think it would be nice, yes."

[vineleaves]

"Then that's settled then! As soon as we can figure out a time!"

[lanselos_du_lac]

"Yes, of course." He thinks, for a moment, to ask about inviting Susan but decides to wait. He isn't quite sure how Susan would feel, so instead he resolves to ask her and bring it up with Dionysus when they're discussing the time.

"Thank you for this," he says again, raising up the bowl. "It is very refreshing, after being out in the heat."

[vineleaves]

"Oh yeah, don't worry about it!"

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot gives him a more solid smile and says, with a faintly teasing tone, "I am not worried, but I am glad."

[vineleaves]

Dionysus laughs. "I'm glad you're glad!"

[lanselos_du_lac]

He laughs again, "I could hardly be anything else."

[vineleaves]

"Any fun plans for the rest of the day?"

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot shrugs, "Only the usual sort of plans, I suppose."

[vineleaves]

"Same for me." Which is to say, he has zero plan for today. His only plan so far was to cut up this fruit, which he has now done.

[lanselos_du_lac]

With great interest, he asks, "Oh? Dost thou have a routine, as well?"

[vineleaves]

Dionysus laughs. "Not in the slightest."

[lanselos_du_lac]

"No?" He laughs as well, shaking his head. "Well. I suppose not everyone does."

[vineleaves]

"I spend a little time in my garden every day, to make sure it's doing alright, and I tend to bring Mercutio food a few times a day so that he doesn't end up living off of just doritos and soda, but other than that I don't know how any day is going to end up."

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot shakes his head a little, "I understand. I cannot do that, myself, is all."

[vineleaves]

"If I have too many plans I get very ... exhausted by it, I suppose. I'm much more suited to just... going with the flow, as they say. Granted, I've normally not had many responsibilities I've had to deal with, which helps in that regard."

[lanselos_du_lac]

"Things go very poorly indeed, if I do not keep my regular schedule. That was a hard thing to learn, here."

[vineleaves]

"Yeah, it's not uncommon for people's mental health to be effected, if they're used to a schedule and suddenly find themselves without. Sorry that you had to deal with that, dear."
