[Always so kind, Albert!]

Nothing is the matter, but... I have got it into my head to do a little project, one that perhaps you'd be willing to help me with?

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

Of course! You needn't even ask. I'll help with whatever I can!

What kind of project is it?

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

[A soft laugh. He couldn't exactly insist on someone's help! But the enthusiasm eased him.]

I was thinking to make a map, for passengers. Of the different flowers on the first floor oxygen garden, and where to find them. It would take a great deal of time but it might be very useful.

Wandering is lovely and one needn't always know where they are going; but sometimes knowing the roses from the lilies is a good sort of thing.

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

Oh! That sounds like a great idea, Jehan!

One problem though ... I'm not exactly the world's greatest botanist?

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

Oh! Well. Neither am I. [He admits, though maybe he's a bit closer to it than Albert. Still--]

It will give us something to do, won't it? We spend enough time there as it is. I'm sure all of the flowers are achieved somewhere and we may look them up... and only imagine! I bet there is flora we have never even heard of before. Nature is always more impressive than science-- only, don't tell Combeferre that I've said so-- and if the science on this vessel is so incredible, than the life on it surely is moreso.

Do I have you convinced, or need I prattle more?

[A sign that you're really his friend, Albert! He monologued at you.]

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

All right! Yes, consider me sold! It will be a great quest.

How's your handwriting?

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

It will! I am glad for the company, thank you Albert.

My handwriting-? It's tolerable. [Or at least he hopes so, with all of the writing that he does.]

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

Oh good, because I've been told mine's fairly illegible to anyone other than myself.

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

We can fix that, if you'd like.

[Chided lightly.

Or not bro, writing is important.]

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

Many a tutor has tried before you and failed.

... But I wouldn't be averse to trying again.

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

Ah, but that is the spirit. [He agreed, fondly.]

Perhaps your handwriting isn't bad, only... more creative than most.

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

Creative! Haha, I like that. I'll be sure to use that next time some impudent fool tries to criticise it.

[ The tone of his voice is clearly joking. ]

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

Woe to he who incites your loquacious rage, my friend. [Impudent fool-- ouch! Those are some fighting words.]

Although, speaking of fools-- would you be willing to show me your pizza, any time soon? I'm terribly curious and if left to my own devices with it, I anticipate my efforts will look strictly silly.

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

Ah-- yes!! In fact, let's do it! Right now, if you aren't otherwise engaged!

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

I am not otherwise engaged. My stomach finds your plan very agreeable.

Shall I meet you in the kitchens, then?

[Voice]

[assumedposition]

Yes, do! I'll poke around and ready the ingredients. See you soon!

[Voice]

[vivelavenir]

...You're already there?

[A pause.]

Well, of course you are. Your message did say so.

Soon, then!
