００５ ☠ video;

[jemerite]

[Zinc is sitting before one of the large windows in her home, feet dangling from the upper mezzanine, looking out at the snow. The pale lighting makes her ashen skin all the more pallid. She is singing to herself quietly, it isn't a particularly pleasant sound, voice dry and cracked, ragged and out of tune. The vine is happy to translate what she is saying, and will probably have to do so,]

Tu brises mon coeur...

[She murmurs the little song to herself absentmindely, but gives up somewhere in the middle, lowering her chin to the railing across the edge, staring blankly out the window. Eventually, she gets around to saying something of her own, and even then there's no one else there for her to be speaking to. Does she even know the vine is there? She's not looked at it once, so far.]

Même si vous ne pouvez pas m'entendre. Il fait froid et tu me manques, salaud.

[[ooc; hover for those translations.]]

[At first, Pinoko was confused. Plants? What an odd thing to say!

But, she stopped for a moment to think about what it meant (a metaphor?). When she thought of what grew in gardens, she understood. Plants drawn tightly together out of necessity, each having no choice but to to trap and squeeze the life from the other, for the sake of survival.]

Pinoko thinksh she's the only one who's ever been a burden.

Doc doesn't need anyone, not really.

Pinoko tries to be as useful as she can be to Doc, but... no matter how good a cook or how shkilled a nurse Pinoko is... Pinoko shtill depends on Doc in sho many ways.

[Zinc offers Pinoko a quiet, affectionate look. Barbet considered himself an artist, not a doctor, but she imagines the ego is much the same.]

The Garden offers a little freedom.

[video; ... never expected such sweet CR between these two, awww! ^///^;]

[Oh, it is, very much the same! Or at least, very similar.]

...

You really think sho? [Somewhat hopefully.]

[video; preciousness~]

[Zinc nods, encouraging. If this was a Garden, and she was a plant being strangled, then there was finally room for her to move away. Whether it was to an entirely different planter, such as Zinc who could not see Barbet here, or whether it was merely into some sunshine of her own.]

A new start. New friends, new places to go, to do. And none are closed off, to you.

[Zinc was not an optimist by nature, but she felt free in the Garden. She missed Barbet miserably, but she had her own home again here even if she remained confined to it, she made her own decisions rather than having even the most basic facets of her life directed by him. She could speak to anyone here, without fear of being killed for it, exploited for it. She was happier here.]

[video; ♥!]

...

[Pinoko takes a moment to allow Zinc's words to settle in, before she smiles brightly.]

Yeah! That's true.

[She still misses her Doctor... but, they've always found one another before! Why should this time be any different? There really was so much more to explore and do here... she couldn't let one girl's harsh words ruin this!]

Thanksh sho much!

[Zinc smiles faintly.]

You will do well.

[The Garden could be difficult at times, but the others would help her as well.]
