[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.]

Really? I've always been involved in fighting one way or another.

*nods* You too. Good you made it through all this chaos we're having lately.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Our enemies have become more active.

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

So why bother farming? Is it like a form of meditation?

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Warriors need to eat in order to fight, do they not?

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. That's true. Usually we let other people do that in Spira for guardians to concentrate on fighting.

*curious* Is it hard to grow things?

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. [A beat, then:] It is always harder to preserve life and create life than it is to take it.

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

Mmm. I understand that completely. It's true. Even if you're just nurturing a life as a favor to someone else.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

There is much to be learned in an activity like this.

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

*considering*

What do you think is the easiest plant to grow? Or does it depend on where you are?

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

It depends on where you are, yes.

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

So in your own homeland, what do you usually grow?

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Rice and root crops, mostly.

[Ah~ he misses Oshu.]

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

((OOC: I'm taking a guess here, but I imagine if Sin was rampaging all over the world, having such a labor intensive crop like rice would be pretty damn impossible. Even if Spira did have a lot of water.))

Rice? What's that?

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

You did not have such a thing in your world?

[OH, THE HORROR.]

What sort of crops were native in your home?

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

Well, there's a lot of natural disasters in Spira. Or were. If rice is something that needs a lot of time to grow, there's no way we could grow it.

Most of Spira is pretty tropical so we fished a lot and cultivated trees with fruit. For anything else, any food plant that could grow quickly is the norm. The best is a nice heated potato with butter. With a few spices thrown on.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

Ah. Potatoes are good crops.

[nofarplaneyet.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to test some these out. *looks around* Once they grow.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

And I would be more than happy to indulge you, Auron-dono.
