There's nothing wrong with feeling that. Most people would say it's good that you haven't ever faced anything like this before.

[November included, really. These are not situations you want to face, especially when you're a nice person]

...do you have someone you can rely on?

[Someone perhaps more experienced or at least interested in keeping you safe?]

[personal profile] thejkdefense 2022-02-27 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

[November nods and turns towards Kumon]

Nobody is asking you to be a hero, or to jump ahead to fight some great evil. Nobody is relying on you and only you to solve anything, or to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Focus only on staying alive.

Rely on your friend Kazunari and take care of each other.

[At least these two have each other. Facing all this probably will be easier when you have someone you knew beforehand]

[Haha, you never know! There are a lot of hardheaded teenagers out there who feel they have to do something even if they're over their head. There was a chance Kumon could be one, yup]

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Good.

[November seems pleased to see that smile, even if it's shaky]

Now, Kumon. [He turns his head towards the new greenhouse] Looks like there's a new addition up here. Have you ever done gardening?

[Oh, Kumon helped pick this stuff! Interesting!]

Come along, then. Show me what was your idea, if anything.

[You know, given past conversations, he has to ask:]

Doing gardening by using a power or doing it normally?

They say talking to your plants make them grow more. I suppose it's something along the lines of making them feel loved.

[He's...not sure about the logic of that, but hey, he won't judge anyone who talks to their plants]

Music is supposed to work, too.

[personal profile] thejkdefense 2022-02-28 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Correct. It also is good for medicine. It's the kind of plant we should have.

[Theer he goes, rummaging through the packets and piling them as if he was deciding which ones are useful and which ones are less important. Someone here really can't stop being absolutely efficient no matter what, apparently!]

Not that I'd know how to use them in cooking or in medicine. Su most likely knows about both.

[You can be sure if November was given some rosemary to cook with he'd just toss it into the pan with everything else and call it a day, haha]

Ask Kashuu, then. He's not too bad at cooking -- although all I have tried is salsa, and it almost fried my tongue.

[Because his spice tolerance is low and unfortunately Kashuu's is high, so shenanigans ensued]
thejkdefense: (46)

[personal profile] thejkdefense 2022-02-28 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly not. I'm weak to that sort of thing.

[Thank goodness Kashuu is a considerate person and helped him right away]

[personal profile] thejkdefense 2022-02-28 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there something wrong?

[He just smiles]

I'm less adventurous than I look, Kumon.

[He says, having finished his seeds classification. There indeed is a lot of cooking herbs and medicinal plants in one pile, and everything decorative in the other]

I tend to play it safe, most of the time. That includes spice in general.
