"oh," she begins, laden with jest equal to his ㅤwonder, "if that's true, maybe they've given up. you've been hiding for so long that perhaps they've given up and run home and you've won. but you can never be too careful... see over there?"

scherie, perhaps just a prop in itto's big scheme, watches and listens to him bustle about, tries to turn to spy what he's doing behind her, but defeat decides against it. she, instead, smiles and scans just a moment for two children.

they're good, aren't they? all of the oranges are. very few fall bruised or tainted, even fewer with concerning spores. it's a very giving tree.

"i see. if you ever have a taste for them, you'll always know where to find more...!" she muses with hopeful humor.

"do you not have oranges in south korea?" blinking. licking her lips in thought. most certainly, the distribution of food would mean oranges 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be found and purchased in korea⸻ she'd guess the climate is suitable enough to grow them.

"south korea," scherie marvels, "you've traveled far to come here. welcome." she dips her head with a slight curtsy. south korea... she's read of it. never been there, but maybe one day she could...

so i see. i thought it to be only decoration on the roof, but now that you mention it. . .

i haven't had oranges a lot, i think im still learning how i feel about it.

"it's an odd tree," scherie smiles, glancing up at foliage that shrouds the library's roof. it's massive⸻ the largest she's seen, at least, and only started to bloom when she took residence.

it's quite the odd place for oranges to grow.

( they mention without even noticing it was spoken aloud, gloves removed to start tearing into the peel. )

are you particularly fond of oranges ?

"no," she picks up the edge of her cape and lingers, just enough that her destination won't miss her. "the library, it grows oranges. you're welcome to take as many as you'd like."
