Aiya, but he was always playing in the dirt anyway! And whenever we start digging troughs for seedlings, he wanted to be right in the deepest pit. You should always encourage your children, even if they want to become one with the earth.
[He says this with a bright and teasing grin, though, and full of too much fondness. He loved A-yuan and he still thinks A-yuan is fuckin DEAD LIKE THE REST OF HIS LOVED ONES but it's fine we don't talk about our traumas here.]
[She meant doing ridiculous but a little bit sweet family things with people you love and who also love you, but saying that is Embarrassing and Lame, so after a second:]
He huffs out a little laugh, sweeping the shelf with his sleeve.]
It was nice, mm - that part! The soil was horrible so we could only grow radishes and sometimes potatoes if we were lucky, but A-yuan loved what fun he could ring out of that place.
[HAHA... Well, he doesn't want to regale a stranger with his Depressing Backstory. He doesn't really want to lie either, though. As he's rearranging more rice:]
It was made inhospitable and I died shortly after. The place itself was considered inhospitable before we got there, though, and we made quite a little home for ourselves! It could probably come into use again in the future.
[Natalie's soft moe center... There's a quiet gratitude in his smile, but he leaves it unvoiced again.]
Mm, well - I think most if not all of us have probably been dealing with misfortune well before we ended up dealing with- [GESTURES] -this particular type.
[NOW HE'S JUST GONNA USE HER TSUNTSUN NATURE AGAINST HER since he doesn't want to keep talking about this!!]
You know - for all your barbs, you're very kind, aren't you? Reminds me a little of someone I know from home! I bet the two of you would get along horribly, haha.

How many grandchildren do you think I'd have then, hm?

He was not a radish, I just planted him in the dirt like one.
[Does. Does that answer anything at all.]

Dude, what the fuck.

Haha, his aunt gave me quite the earful for that one!

I think most people are of the general opinion that you shouldn't plant your children like radishes.

Not the part about putting him in the earth, that still sounds incredibly weird.
no subject
The digging troughs for seedlings part? Playing in the dirt?
[They aren't cleaning at all at this point GOD. Helpfully, he rearranges some rice.]
no subject
I don't know.

Long story, but nothing worth a concern! I was dragged back by my toes years later, anyway, but the Burial Mounds still aren't in very good shape.

That sucks.

I was just telling the truth.
no subject
Mind setting those on that side? Anyway - I know! But some people wouldn't think it a truth, you see?
