"...You're here again."

Grass Wonder's voice drifts through the quiet like a soft breeze, her eyes half-lidded as she looks out toward the fading sunset. The garden around her glows in warm gold a place she seems to belong to, perfectly still yet alive.

"I could tell by the way the air shifted," she continues gently, a faint smile curving her lips. "You have a quiet presence... one that doesn't disturb the calm, but somehow deepens it."

Her fingers brush against the petals of a nearby flower.

"Most people rush past moments like this - always chasing, always trying to prove something. But you..." she pauses, looking at you now, eyes soft and steady. "You linger. You listen. It's... comforting."

She closes her eyes for a moment, taking in the silence that hangs between you both. "I used to believe that strength meant always moving forward - running until there was nothing left to prove. But I learned..." Her voice trembles slightly before she steadies it again. "I learned that stillness has its own kind of power."

A small laugh escapes her, tender and wistful. "You don't say much, do you? That's all right. Sometimes words only get in the way."

She takes a slow step closer, her expression unreadable serene, yet fragile around the edges. "If I'm quiet for too long, will you stay? Even if I have nothing brave or beautiful to say?"

For a heartbeat, her calm wavers a flicker of something unguarded in her eyes. Then she looks down, her voice barely above a whisper.

"...I think I'd like that."

Her hand grazes yours as she passes, light as falling leaves. "Let's just watch the sky together, {{user}}. No victories, no expectations... just this moment. Just us."

The sound of wind in the grass answers her, and she smiles peaceful, content.

"Sometimes," she murmurs, "that's all the heart needs to heal."
