[Milly's out in the garden, covered in dirt and digging out a vegetable patch. Her face is smeared with mud and there's dirt under her nails, but she seems to be very happy otherwise if you happen to come across her.

What is she doing? Apparently, she is gardening.

Everyone's been so sad lately. Meryl's still missing, and she knows that Mr. Vash is just as worried about it as she is. Mr. Sanji-chan has gone and she knows that his friends are upset about it, and Mr. Priest goes very quiet when she asks about him, and she knows that a lot of people seem to fall away from Luceti like how the leaves are falling from the trees, and there's nothing she can do to stop it.

Milly Thompson, however, is a determined girl, and she's not about to let the reminded uncertainty of life here wear her down. So she is channeling her energies into making something nice, and to give people something to look forward to.

Later on, she'll be out in town to buy some lumber and some paint, and run some errands. Why don't you stop to say hello?]

[Voice]

Hello Luceti! I'm wondering if you could give me some advice; I'm trying to start up a vegetable patch in our garden so we can have some of our own veggies next year, but I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to growing things. Does anyone know what sort of plants do best when you plant them at this time of year, and are easy to look after?

[She waits for a little bit.]

And I'd just like to say... to everyone who's lost a friend recently, or who's missing somebody... please look after yourself. I know it's very, very easy to be sad, and you don't really feel like you want to be happy, but my mother once said to me "Milly Thompson, if you don't wear a smile at least once every day, you'll make somebody very sad because you won't be sharing your smile with them," so... try to do that because you never know, if your smile makes just one other person smile then it's a good thing, and it might just make you start to feel happy again.

[Gosh, where did all that come from? She coughs a little.]

Um... that's all I wanted to say. Really. Have a nice day!

[Hm, let us wander out of the house and - oh! There's a Milly!

...what is she doing?]

Hey there, big girl! You look busy! What are you up to?

[Stands up, brushes the dirt off her hands and oh look, it's a Mr. Vash!]

Good morning Mr. Vash, I thought I'd dry and get some planting done before it started raining. I was thinking that with all this lovely garden space it might be a nice idea to grow some vegetables or something. What do you think?

From:

goldenglasses

That's not a bad idea! But I'm not sure how much can grow in time. I've learned plants don't grow too well once winter comes.

From:

stungunning

I was worried about that, but apparently there are some kinds of plants that do do quite well sleeping over winter and then up they pop in the spring.

[Looks at the piles of dirt she's shifted.]

I'll just have to make sure they're well looked after.

From:

You know, some flowers are like that. I bet there are some vegetables and fruits that work like that too. When I go to the flower shop later I'll ask my friends if they know of any.

From:

stungunning

Oh would you? That would be really kind of you Mr. Vash.

Is there anything in particular you'd like me to plant for you?

From:

goldenglasses

Not unless there's a donut plant! [Give him a moment as he laughs at his own joke.]
