Seven purple files

I do not suppose there are any beds that are not hard as a rock down here? I have tried one in nearly every cabin, and they are all most uncomfortable. It would be better to sleep on the ground! When we were banished out of the tree last time, the accommodations, they were much better. I am not impressed. This place, it has always been poorly managed, but now, I see that it is even worse than I thought.

Next time we are driven from our little homes and what little lives we have, I would like more comfortable accommodations. Do note this, whomever manages these sort of things, hm?

[She blinks. How do you even begin...?]

[Ambassador's a cityman, she reminds herself. She could gather her thoughts and put together a speech, and it wouldn't matter.]

It's an acquired taste, really.

[Seeing the blink, he wonders if he should explain himself more.]

Myself, I do not spend a good deal of time outdoors, from what I can tell, hm? We each have little things to which we are accustomed. What is it about it that is an acquired taste?

[Mindelan shrugs one heavy shoulder.]

Lots of things. [She prefers listening to speaking, but it's not like she can't go on about something.] Not everyone who'd like it here is very physically active, but it helps. Curiosity, too. Some people find places like this great for thinking in.

If someone doesn't start looking for something to occupy themselves with out here, it doesn't come looking for them. [Better be honest.] I'd hope it wouldn't, anyway. One disaster at a time is enough.

Thinking, and running around like a lunatic. Those are the choices? [Ambassador shook his head with a snort.] Crazy. This world, it is filled with crazy people. What is there to think about? Will the bugs bite? Will our little houses be blown to bits?

[Really. What sort of people enjoyed a place like this? Rustic was not in. It should never have BEEN in.] The very last thing that any of us needs is something to come attacking us down here. No, no, there is no need for more trouble on top of what we have.

But you, you have made this trouble a little less troublesome, and for that, I thank you.

[She raises an eyebrow, but otherwise her expression doesn't change.] As I said, it's an acquired taste.

I'm glad I could help.

[There wasn't much else to say. Acquiring a taste for something unpleasant made no sense to him, and the sooner he was out of here the better.]

As am I. Perhaps now I will be able to sleep.
