I will! It won't be all that long, I think.

[The bird in his hands tweets softly, sinking down against his fingers a bit. Well, if the little guy was still terrified, he wouldn't be staying there.]

...What's lemon balm?

[suncrushed]

O-Oh!

[Here it comes. Here comes the Junipedia. She sounds so happy that you asked that question, Jimmy.]

Well, lemon balm, also known as Melissa officinalis, is an herb belonging to the mint family. The leaves themselves have a faint lemon scent, and they have many uses; for example, you can use it as flavouring in ice cream and teas alongside other herbs, or you could use it as a garnishing for fruit and fish dishes or even candies, if you'd like..but they traditionally were used as medicine for any problems with your gastrointestinal tract, liver, or bile...but nowadays, they're used as a mild sedative or anxiolytic. [A pause. Before he asks:] Which is an anti-anxiety agent.

It's safe for birds, too, so they should have no problem digesting it, if...we had any to give them, but it seems they're calming down naturally.

[awesmazings]

[Oh, well! He'll do anything to make someone happy, and he seems pretty eager to learn. He's even leaning toward the screen a little with his elbows on his knees, hands still cradling the bird in his hands.]

Melissa....offi...offiwhat-you-said. That's awesmazing!

Gosh Juniper, you're really smart. How'd you learn all of that?

[suncrushed]

[Juniper can't help but blush a little at the compliment.]

Oh, um...I-I'm a gardener. And...my grandmother taught me a lot about herbs and things like that...but t-thank you...

[awesmazings]

You're welcome! My friend Heloise does some gardening too, back home. Though it's a little...different, I think.

[suncrushed]

[It's probably a LOT different.]

Oh, really...? I think it's nice...I don't see a lot of people interested in gardening. What's your friend like?

[awesmazings]

Mhm! Heloise is great! She's a scientist. And sortof, uh...an engineer? Yeah, I guess that's what you call it. She builds things for Lucius, and then those things get made and sold at Misery Inc., the factory he runs.

[suncrushed]

Ah, I see...

[That reminds her a lot of Athena's mother before...well, the incident.]

That's very impressive! Does she vary in her creations, or does she specialise in one particular thing?

[awesmazings]

Oh, she makes all SORTS of stuff! You name it, and she's probably made it!

[suncrushed]

Oh, I see! I don't really know a lot about engineering, but...that's really incredible. I think she and my friend, Thena, would get along well...

[...Maybe?]

Her mother used to help create robots, but um, she didn't make them herself. She just helped give them...ah, I guess you could say a "heart"...? I-It...it was amazing.

[awesmazings]

Oh wow, that's really cool! Heloise has made a whole lot of robots before, so I bet they would get along!

[...Maybe?]

[suncrushed]

Heehee, maybe one day they will! Thena really likes them a lot...

[awesmazings]

Yeah...I hope Heloise comes here sometime. I think she'd really like it.

[suncrushed]

If she does, I'd like to meet her sometime...if that's okay.

[Juniper, please stop being so modest.]

[awesmazings]

Sure thing! I'll introduce you to her as soon as I can, if she shows up!

[suncrushed]

Heehee, I look forward to it.

[She'll teach Heloise how to knit a scarf so she can join the "Our Crushes Are Completely Oblivious to the Fact We Have Crushes on Them" club...]
