The dream he had about Cassius could have just been a dream, but when he woke up, he had an explanation for the cuts that seem to wrap around his arms and body, and the wounds that protrude deeply under his metal plates.
Still, he forgives Cassius.
"I could help with clearing, once I recover a little more."
He considers these options for a moment.
"The fresh air is helping, so let us sit out here."
“I would appreciate that, thank you.” He could even set aside a space for Dedue, now that he's thinking about it. A nice place made for him to sit and relax surrounded by flowers and under the sun. He's already begun working on something for his Eli, why not Dedue as well?
He takes a step away, gesturing for Dedue to follow. “Please follow me, then. I think you will like it.”
When Dedue begins to, Cas makes sure to keep his pace at something his friend can follow comfortably. He leads him not to the bench from before, but a stump further out, one large enough to hold Dedue's weight. There's already a blooming garden here - clearly, this is where Cassius had started his work once he had enough space to do so.
