A m a l i a "Like the normal vampire gourds, y'know? But yellow." Perhaps this particular form of squash does not come in the vampire variety: Amalia has no idea. She is not a farmer, has no green thumb. It is remarkable that her herb garden survives as well as it does, and most of that is due to kindly neighborhood elders who try to preserve it in her grandmother's name. Shrugging, she turns a gentle smile back to Emmett, rising to stand again behind the stall. Slender fingers play absently with a lock of hair, the only sign of her underlying anxiety, her persistent concern that she has done wrong- but the boy is smiling, his stance more relaxed, and the baker is self indulgent enough to believe she has played some part. Humming slightly in thought, Amalia tilts her head. "Well," she murmurs, a quizzical expression on her angular face, "I can't say I remember right now. I know one of them was to go outside, but we've already managed that much." She smirks, turning her black gaze to the revelers and the waning sun. Glancing slyly back at the boy, Amalia tries to be casual as she asks: "Do you have someone to light a candle with this year, Emmett?" It is half teasing, half earnest. She hopes he has found someone dear, someone to stand beside him in the dark. If not, she is more than ready to step in, to scoop him up and shelter him, if only for today. She is messy, but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone, but she used to be mine |

"Huh." Emmett tried to stay away from the live fruit and veg. It felt weird, when a lot of his work was being quite rough with the crops, to think of them being sentient. Creeped him out. Amalia said a part was go outside, which made Emmett scoff. With his lifestyle, he had to be outside every day whether he wanted to or not. He was sure from birth he had never spent a day entirely indoors, even the littlest Palmers taken out in blankets on nice days as soon as they were able. Her question after surprised him, and he shook his head. "Well, nah. Bee had already gone somewhere by the time I thought t'do it, but I already lit one on my own. Or..uh..I should say, I wanted it to be on my own, but then some guy called Remi came up 'n' started criticisn' me." Emmett crossed his arms, a frown on his face. "He was real rude." Emmett

"Oh, uh, Bee...Phoebe. She's my girlfriend. Real nice 'n' pretty, smart too. Wears a lotta dresses, she has brown-ish blondey hair and uhhh.." Emmett tried to think of more ways to describe Phoebe, a blush creeping onto his face along with a clearly besotted smile. "She's a midwife, y'might know her? I dunno where she's gotten to right now, though.." It seemed Amalia knew Remi. Emmett hoped he had not offended, but it seemed she was willing to hear his side of things at least. "Well I think he's bein' mighty unfair. Me and Bee had a fight a lil while ago, but it all got sorted, but now he's decided it was all my fault, which it wasn', couples just fight sometimes y'know? And he's bein' all pompous." Crossing his arms, he frowned. "Not any of his business anyway." Emmett

"Oh, she did? Bee likes flowers 'n' stuff." Emmett nodded, thinking of the planting boxes on the windows of the clinic. He was always impressed with other peoples artistic creations. He'd never really been skilled like that; the things he made worked but were rarely pretty. What was the fight about? Emmett chewed at his lip, unsure if he wanted to get into it. Partly because he still wasn't entirely sure. But she asked, so... "Well, uh...after Longnight. I was pretty sick, and I was...y'know, sad...cos..." He gestured vaguely with his hands, hoping she would pick up on the context. "And Bee looked after me, and I was real grateful, but then...she got mad we didn' uh...that we didn'..." He rubbed the back of his neck, looking at Amalia and trying to work out how proper she was. "...That we didn' get close in that time. But I was...real hurt, and real sad, and...I dunno. I guess she felt like she wasn' bein' appreciated in the right way. Anyway, it's over now, we sorted it out. But Remi thinks it's his business." Emmett

Emmett noticed the blush on Amalia's cheeks and wondered if he'd gone too far, offended her. He'd never seen the baker with anyone...had she ever...? That was not an appropriate line of thought, he reminded himself, and cut himself off. Thankfully she recovered and when she spoke seemed relatively calm, once again kind and understanding. "Yeah, they are. And....I wanna like him. Cos he's Bee's friend 'n' all. But he made it real hard after he came up to me like tha'. Hasn' even met me and decided he's gonna be all judgy. I heard he's got his own issues." Admittedly Emmett was mostly bluffing here, working from a few snippets of gossip and the sight of Remi with several different people who he may or may not have been romantically involved with. But he was grumpy, and did not want to see him in a good light. "...I dunno. Everythin' with the Spire...it made it all a lil harder. I still don' know how I feel about Outlanders.." He sighed, shrugged. Emmett

"I guess, but she ain' his sister and no one--" Emmett sighed, rubbed his forehead. He knew his anger was doing most of the talking here, not his brain. "...Maybe I'm bein' too harsh, I dunno. I'm jus'...not in the mood t'be told how crap I am right now." On top of everything else, it really was the last thing he needed, especially when he was trying to make things right. Amalia seemed to be uncomfortable at the topic of the Spire, which he understood. It was an uncomfortable situation all around. But he nodded solemnly at her comments, watching the way she cut herself off then turned around, unable to continue with the thoughts all Naturals had. "Yeah, I know. This is what I'm tryina say to Bee, but she takes it real personal. The Outlanders come here and after bein' here less than a year, think they know best for alla us. It...it annoys me. I managed nineteen years without havin' to run over to the Spire." He shook his head, looking down to the ground. "But now it's done, ain' it? So I guess we all gotta live with the consequences. Fae, 'n' stuff. I hope the Outlanders don' screw that up too." Emmett

As Amalia came to stand next to him Emmett stepped a little to the side to give her space, followed her gaze out into the festival. At first he didn't understand the question or have any idea how to answer it, but as he thought more he realised he did have a solution, just not....necessarily a good one. "Uh...we don' talk about it much, cos it'll just lead to a fight. I guess it depends on how y'Outlander person cares about everythin', how sensitive they are. Who...uh...who is it?" He didn't like to be nosey, but he felt maybe some context could help here. "...It might matter when we come up against another barrier, or another stop of some kind, a fight...and we all argue again." Emmett

Amalia didn't seem too impressed with his advice, which wasn't that surprising given what the advice actually was. He knew it wasn't a good answer, but it was hard to neatly sort out years of cultural angst amid teenage first loves. The criss-cross of dramas was really too much for his newly-traumatised brain to conquer. She was embarrassed to speak of her new love. Emmett smiled to himself, watching her become just slightly flustered. "Well, I hope ya work it out." He blinked at the question at first, confused. He hadn't even considered going outside into the woods, not with..well...everything. "No, I don' think so. I got the farm, and the kids, and Bee, and...a lot t'plan for." Emmett shrugged. "I don' think it'll be for me anyway. I've always been happy with the farm and what I've got." Emmett
