010 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[The feed clicks on accidentally as a small hand brushes by, the PDA tipped sideways in a tuft of tough, wet grass by what looks to be the edge of the apartment building. Alma is very close, only the lower portion of his body visible as he kneels in in the dirt, both arms stretched out in front of him as he prods at a pile of mud.

He continues his efforts for several minutes, ignoring the inclement weather and building his pile into a small pillar of sorts before pinching off a higher section on top. He pulls back and, after a moment, leans down far enough for the camera to catch his expression as scrutinizes his odd little creation, nose wrinkled and eyebrows furrowed. After a few more careful jabs and pokes he sits back again, the end product before him looking vaguely familiar.]

Don't worry too much about it, yeah? Skill in an art is something that comes with time and practice.

I guess I gotta keep practicing then, huh?

Right. Just remember that sometimes too much water won't help the dirt hold the form you want.

[Alma nods, turning to scrutinize his lump of mud again.]

... Yeah, I think it's just gonna ooze all over the way it is.

I'll see if I can find you some different colored dirt, too. That'll make a difference.

You really think so?

Of course! Different things make it up so it'll work differently with the water and you can do different tones, mix them. Lots of possibilities~

I never thought of it that way before.

Well, that's what friends are for, to encourage new thoughts and ideas.

You're a good friend, Lavi.

I try to be, not sure how good at it I am yet.

Well, I think you're good at it.

[Sheepish sort of laugh.] Well then, thanks Alma. I'll keep up the good work, yeah?

Yeah!
