[The video feed turns on to flowers. Flowers in boquets. Flowers in vases. some flowers clearly set aside for other purposes. Flowers on tribbles. Flower crowns and leis on a swizard who looks way too pleased with herself. Asbel's suite is full of them, or at least the view from his console, and he looks...well, significantly less frazzled than he had in getting them home, but that's not saying much.]

...So I don't suppose, in the middle of all this, anyone needs some flowers? Flower crowns, boquets, home decoration...anything like that.

[He coughs, faintly, before moving on.]

Actually, on that note, does anyone have any suggestions for what to do with these...? I have way more than I need for seeds or flower tea.

[He pauses and watches a tribble just sit amongst the flowers and coo, and sighs heavily before ending the video.]

Your Penelope sounds like a great woman.

[It doesn't matter if he doesn't get the reference.] I'm jealous.

I guess we could all use more flowers around here. Or fun in general after the chaos.

[Hm. He'll have to work on that one.]

Huh? 'Penelope'? [Right moving on.]

As long as it helps...Morale is important, and I'm not sure...well. I think it's going to be up to us to take care of it.

[He likes Evandau, and Asbel truly believes he means well. That doesn't mean Asbel thinks Evandau is actually particularly good at the morale game, but when they're already desperate, it's not surprising.]

[There's a small twitch of a smile from Tony. It's just once of those little jokes he has to make, despite the fact Asbel isn't going to catch them.]

As long as you don't expect any rallying speeches. But I guess no one else is going to help us figure that one out.

[At least not the Emperor or Evandau. Tony's still not sure what to think of them. He's pretty sure that they just want to protect the city, but they have a rough way of asking for help.]
