Closed; The devil in the wires
WHO: Thrawn and Eli Vanto
WHERE: Greenhouse
WHAT: Eli has beenbrooding thinking and Thrawn has noticed.
WHEN: After Eli's conversation with Poe
WARNINGS: None anticipated
Thrawn was not suited to these sorts of tasks. Things like watering seedlings, weeding areas by hand, or simply washing the dishes that were reused for mealtimes. Not suited to it because he was often bored but not because he balked at handling such mundane chores. He could do and did whatever Eli asked of him without complaint.
But Eli had been quiet and withdrawn recently. And Thrawn internally agonized over whether it would be better to investigate anything that had bothered Eli or whether Thrawn needed to bide his peace and let Eli wrestle with his demons on his own. In the end, he temporized and after washing out mugs in a bucket of gray water (which consisted of water that had first been used to wash the dirt off vegetables) he used that as an excuse to speak with Eli.
He found Eli easily enough outside the actual greenhouse and walked over to sit down next to him. He held the bucket by the handle and set it down in front of them both.
"Did you wish to pour this out over the squash vines still?"
