[ she shakes her head and takes the die to roll it again. it lands on the lucky number and everyone breaks into cheering. ]
I don't know.
[ she smiles at him as she does her best not to jump on the spot. she's never had much, and now that she has so much, she doesn't know what to do with it. ]
I don't know what to do with a greenhouse, either. But I'm sure there are books… or greenhouse keepers here.
[ are they called greenhouse keepers? she has no idea. despite the fact that she's clearly holding up the game, the people around her don't appear impatient. wanda doesn't want them to be, and thus, they aren't. ]
Don't you want to learn something new? That's exciting.
I think if you put your plants in it, you're not wasting it.
[ isn't that the purpose of a greenhouse? place plants in there and see them grow. while wanda may not be familiar with it outside of the garden centres she's visited over the time she had with vision, she thinks that it might be fun to give something to amos.
and see if he chooses to "break" pieces of it that require her to fix it. ]
Maybe it will protect them from the Trench when we have bad weather. [ she shrugs, hoping that's enough of a reason for him to accept. ]
[ wanda doesn't bother to try and downplay it. she doesn't bother to try and squash it between other words and meanings. yes, she wants him to visit the plant. she's winning right now. she's on a high that she intends to ride out until she crashes, but… she's not crashing.
but she knows what he's asked and what she's said, and she doesn't particularly want that to linger. so, she holds out her closed fist holding the die toward him. ]
Blow.
[ she's seen them do it in the movies. it's meant to be good luck. ]
[ wanda doesn't look at him as she shakes the die in her hand ferociously. when she lets it go, they prove that… he is, indeed, a lucky charm. she squeals with delight. (or wanda's still making probability hexes and making everything roll out in her favour. it's really hard to tell.)
That's why I'm guaranteeing it stays—and you are helping me.
[ she smiles and nods at him before she thrusts her open palm toward him again to repeat the action. she looks at him pointedly, waiting for him to share some of his good luck. ]

( he might not be an avid gambler but he knows what a pile of winnings looks like and she's got a good amount there. )
When did you learn to gamble?
no subject
[ she laughs maniacally, but really, wanda's so happy that she scrunches her nose in elation. she's never this playful. never has been in her life.
as for his question, she shrugs. ]
I don't. I thought I would try to throw the die and then… well…
[ someone comments that she's a natural. that she's just one lucky gal. considering the hand life has dealt her, she is very, very lucky. ]
no subject
( so, her luck is just that good already? that's pretty fortunate. he glances down at the winnings and then at the game before he nods. )
What are you gonna use it for? The money?
no subject
I don't know.
[ she smiles at him as she does her best not to jump on the spot. she's never had much, and now that she has so much, she doesn't know what to do with it. ]
Maybe give some to you. I owe you for my car.
no subject
( it's nice of her to think of him but he doesn't even know what he'd do with it if she did give it to him. )
I don't even know what I'd use it for if I did have that amount of money. Nothing really here to buy beside a bunch of beer.
no subject
[ she ignores the call for her to throw the dice again. wanda keeps it in her palms, shaking her hand absently. ]
Or a greenhouse! You don't have one of those, do you?
no subject
( amos shakes his head because no, no he doesn't have that. )
Haven't really needed it.
no subject
[ which negates the need for any cash, but semantics! pleased with that suggestion, wanda rolls the die and finds that…
she wins again. everyone cheers. wanda smiles, scrunching her nose. she can't believe her luck. it's almost magical. ]
no subject
( though he does appreciate the offer. )
I don't know if I have enough plants for that.
no subject
she smiles brightly. ]
I can buy you more plants.
[ money is the answer to everything! ]
no subject
( but he appreciates the sentiment. )
I still wouldn't know what to do with a greenhouse.
no subject
[ are they called greenhouse keepers? she has no idea. despite the fact that she's clearly holding up the game, the people around her don't appear impatient. wanda doesn't want them to be, and thus, they aren't. ]

( he would thin about it. that's about all he could give right now. he's gonna turn into prax, he swears. )
They'll just sing louder in there, you know. Since they have the space.
no subject
[ wanda knows how one plant sings. if the others sing as well as that one, then he has a gentle-sounding choir on his hands.
she finally shakes her hand before flicking the dice along the felt of the game. the crowd cheers again as she wins once more.
without looking at him, she pulls the chips towards her. ] Maybe I can teach them some Slavic songs.
no subject
( just saying. he draws the line there. )
They're my plants, I raised them, no having them make fun of me.
no subject
she doesn't roll the die again, keeping them in her hands as she shakes them absently. her pile of chips is merely growing. ]
If you raised them, does that mean you are planning to visit the one at my house? [ she cocks her brow at him. ] Or have you given me full custody?
no subject
( don't be pedantic, wanda. )
Do you want me to visit?
no subject
[ wanda doesn't bother to try and downplay it. she doesn't bother to try and squash it between other words and meanings. yes, she wants him to visit the plant. she's winning right now. she's on a high that she intends to ride out until she crashes, but… she's not crashing.

no subject
What did that just do?
( besides feel a little weird. )
no subject
[ wanda doesn't look at him as she shakes the die in her hand ferociously. when she lets it go, they prove that… he is, indeed, a lucky charm. she squeals with delight. (or wanda's still making probability hexes and making everything roll out in her favour. it's really hard to tell.)
but she's smiling widely at him. ]
no subject
( that he was good luck or a good anything. he chuckles. )
Be careful before your luck runs out, huh?
no subject
[ she smiles and nods at him before she thrusts her open palm toward him again to repeat the action. she looks at him pointedly, waiting for him to share some of his good luck. ]
