He had a chuckle, which was fine, but equally she did really rather wonder what a shovel was. But in his defence and like the good sport he got himself together and started to explain. She listened carefully and pictured what he said in her mind, then nodded "Like a large spoon?" she wondered. That would make sense, of course, as one could use a spoon to dig through foodstuffs, especially things like cake. She enjoyed cake and particularly had a fondness for the sweet cherry cake which had been made when she was growing up.

Because that life was over she was here and she had to learn. For all she knew she'd be living here a long time and she had no wish to have to rely on people for anything. But she was nonetheless very aware of how woefully unprepared she was for this life she had chosen. But her brother was leaving and she had to do something, had to make her own way. Even if she was completely incapable, it seemed, of pulling up a weed.
However, Aeon was more than able, it seemed, to dig out the weed by himself and Celeste watched him with genuine gratitude on her face as he finally vanquished what had seemed to be an impossibly difficult task "I really can't thank you enough, you know" she said with a soft smile. "And no, nothing else, thank you so much. I do very much appreciate it. If you don't mind popping by again, I'll be sure to have bought one of those... shovel-things." she added. Hopefully that would be helpful
