[ And Akira will be at the greenhouse, tending his own plants that are almost ready for harvest. Maybe in another week or two, they can have something worth collecting.
When he sees her, he gives her a small wave. Hello, hello. ]
[ Though! To be honest! He's surprised considering how tired he is after that field mission. He thought he would come off as more of a mess than he usually is. ]
I've checked my plots already, so I'm fine. Why don't we see your cacti?
[Yeah, from Luna's perspective Akira doesn't seem too bad. Just a bit tired and run down but no physical injuries??? Or anything that seems...concerning at a glance. That counts for something.
She walks over to a small baby cactus plant. It's coming along nicely.]
It's a lot bigger than last time. I'm so happy, Akira!
[ December was Bad, Luna, but it's fine. They're back on the moon and he's glad to return to normal shenanigans only because he saw things he didn't need to see again. Tiring!!
But plants. Plants will save them. He follows after her— ]
It looks like it's growing well. [ Though cacti are pretty independent on their own. ] Did you name it?
[ Since. He's guessing she isn't going to eat it. ]
Not yet! I believe that something important like a name should be chosen with consideration. It's not fair to the cactus if we don't think about its feelings.
[ She cares too much about this plant. So Luna peers over and thinks it's actally kind of cute. ]
[ He's pensive... Sure. Bitter coffee is good, but bitter vegetables is going too far. There's no need to mention his preference for quick and easy things to eat since he does also enjoy a healthy whopping of bitter veggies every once in a while.
Enjoy is an overstatement. ]
You can still make nutritional food taste good. [ Scratching his neck, he considers groceries. ] But eating healthy is also expensive, unfortunately...

Do you have any suggestions?
no subject
I do, but it might be better to ask more people. It'll make it feel like we're really part of a team.
no subject
[ Luna perks up because Akira is so considerate. He seems like an earnest and well meaning individual. ]
I try to talk to these plants sometimes. Is that strange?
no subject
It does also deserve a good name, too. He nods, then tilts his head to the side over her question. ]
I don't think so. [ Let him think back on what Haru told him. ] A friend of mine told me that talking to them helps them grow.
[ HMM. ]
Maybe that's why my plants didn't grow as fast as hers.
no subject
[ Luna digs her hand into the soil to feel the mud a bit. ]
It's a bit dry, I should water them. Do you have a lot of experience dealing with this sort of thing?
no subject
[ It's a start! The first step of taking care of plants, really! but he'll hand her a watering can that was nearby. It feels full. ]
My friend back home liked to garden on the school's roof... She would grow all sorts of things—mostly vegetables.
[ ... ]
They were bitter.
no subject
A bitter vegetable is loaded in nutrients. It's probably good for you.
[ In any case she approves of Akira's friend feeding him these types of things.]
Sure beats eating unhealthy fast foods.

[She frowns and sighs.]
I understand why these things happen, but it doesn't mean I have to like it either Akira.
no subject
[ Or else they would just continue living the way they do. It isn't fun. Anyway, he moves on back to food. ]
I read cactus tacos are pretty good.
no subject
[Luna doesn't even seem remotely open to the idea as her eyes drift off to some other place in the room.]
It seems a little strange to think about.
no subject
I'd like to try it, but I'm not keen on asking Bender to make it.
[ SIghs. ]
My bad luck really shows when I order food.

[She closes her eyes silently, a MOMENT OF PEACE FOR HIS CURRY That turned out weird.]
Do you think your chances will improve if you carry charms? I hear that works.
no subject
I don't see why not... Do you think the Fantasy Costco will have some?
no subject
What kind of store has every product available? It's almost like magic. [ That's fantasy cosco for you..anything is possible.]
