[Out on the field, farming like a boss.

No, he wasn't too bothered about how things had come down as of late, like the recent battle and whatever else. Such as things were, and all.]

Comments

[Okay, now he sees where this is going.]

Do not worry about us, Nataku-dono. Masamune-sama would not appreciate me being idle, and calls for me when he requires me.

[And if he doesn't, well. Koujurou knows when he has to come.]

[A bemused expression is given to Koujurou.]

Is that so? Date says that he does not need you always with you because you have other things to do. Gardening is the other thing that you have to do?

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

One of them, yes.

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[...]

Why?

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Part of the duties of a retainer is to ensure that his lord is healthy. Growing my own food is one of the best ways that I know how to do this.

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

This is for Date.

[He stares at all the vegetables, before walking over to the one that he had kicked. Looking around, he eventually kneels down to bury it in the ground.]

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

[Nataku was most peculiar, but not in a bad way.]

Primarily, yes, but they can be put to good use to whoever is in need in the future.

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

No.

This is for Date and so you should not let anyone else have these vegetables.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.]

There is more than enough for others. Do not worry.

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

But it is primarily for Date.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Primarily, but my own sense of honor would not let me hoard resources that could be used for the benefit of many.

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

My sense of honor will not let you use something that is meant for Date on anyone else.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

[He only smiles.]

You care deeply for my lord. I thank you for that.

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

[Surprising, given that he is scolding Koujurou.]

You need not thank me for caring for an acquaintance.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

I feel that it is.

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

Well, do not let me find out that you are giving vegetables to other people or I will find a way to arrest you.

[A beat.]

Now I must sneak back into the clinic.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Very well, Nataku-dono. Take care of yourself.

[Serenely. It would be funny, admittedly, getting arrested for giving out vegetables...]

[soulparadox.livejournal.com]

[Nataku nods his head slightly before leaving to return to the clinic.]
