It seems Orange and Lucky have decided to make the step after all. They have moved to the twin of Citrus' house. Like Citrus and Mary, they're only a shout away, so if anything were to happen, they know we'll be there to help them out.
Suddenly, the house seems so much emptier. Thankfully neither Arthur or Ben can ever leave the manor. At least not until I finish the requirements of my challenge.
Ever since Citrus left, my martial arts skill has been ignored. After all, I don't really need it for any kind of building. But Lemon has been tasked to raise his own level... and he's very happy to have a sparring partner. I believe it may help him in his duties as super spy... and I'm very happy to help him out.
Ever since I've thought Benjamin to drive, he's been coming to me with any questions he has. He's a bit worried about his lifetime wish, though I've assured him often that he has plenty of time to complete it.
In a way I guess it's really great that he thinks of me when he's looking for help. I can't teach him to sing... but... I can tutor him in the guitar, which should be able to help him out once he starts off. I give him my own guitar, as I doubt we'll be playing a lot anyway. Even if Heavenbound ever finds the time to practice or even play somewhere, I can always get myself another one.
He seems to have lost his imaginary friend somewhere though, so he hasn't been able to use the potion I gave him earlier.
When I'm not writing or tending to little Scarlet, I'm usually working on my alchemy skill. Only three more skills to go before I have done all of my necessary skilling... and Scarlet needs to grow up before I can even start Riding. By the time she does, I'm sure I'll have maxed out writing at the very least. I only have two more levels to go... I can level my writing while researching more alchemy recipes, but usually my Tabcast is on one of the skills I don't really need to max now. I'm getting rather advanced in Nectarology already. I have to admit, using this tablet makes skilling a lot less fun.
Even so, the tablet has been a great help: my writing has been maxed out as well! Four more levels in elixirs and then only riding is left... With some luck, I'll have maxed out Nectarology soon as well, though I don't really need to. I probably should build the nectary, but since no one has really asked for one yet, I've opted to build the more important buildings first. I think the grocery store and the book store will be next.
Scarlet has chosen me to be her BFF too... I'm really looking forward to being able to spend more time with her.
Redemption Island is starting to be a bit more complete too: I've finished building City Hall, as well as the Angel Hill fishing spot and the coffee house in town. When Benjamin becomes a Singer, there'll be two venues for him to perform at. The others are still very much on my to-do list, but I'm slowly getting more buildings done; At the moment, I'm a bit hesitant to build new homes, as there are so many community buildings that still need to be finished...
(Which means I'm going to have to take pics of Orange's house, City Hall, the fishing spot and the Coffee House for the building thread. I'll post when I've finished them, but I doubt it'll happen today)
