[Those of you who know Kurapica only distantly may realize that for many of these plots concerning evil characters, he's been rather...isolated. He hasn't been conversing with so many people lately. First there was Lucifer making sins rampant, turning Kurapica's eyes scarlet as revenge for the slaughter of his clan pumped through him ceaselessly.

[It's lovely, but melancholy.]

What are you planting?

[Video]

[checkmychainyo]

[He wipes an arm across his forehead. His eyes seem a bit eerie, distant.]

Potatoes, lettuce, carrots, and grapes. [Mun is only guessing at what Kurama probably had extras of.]

[Video]

[daath_vader]

May I come see? If you let me, I'd like to help.

[Ion notices, but forcing the issue isn't his style. Placing himself where Kurapica can speak to him though...]

[Video]

[checkmychainyo]

[He really doesn't need visitors right now, but on the other hand, he's not sure how he can refuse without making Ion worried for him - and thus, more inclined to come over anyway.]

...I'm almost finished, however.

[Video]

[daath_vader]

Then I can bring you a snack.

[Video]

[checkmychainyo]

...That's kind of you, but it's unnecessary.

[Video]

[daath_vader]

Is there a reason I should not?

[Video]

[checkmychainyo]

There's plenty of food where I am staying with Killua.

[But his argument is weak, and he knows it. He considers telling Ion not to come outright, but Ion is determined. At least this way, he can pass off his subtle rejections as politeness.]

[Video]

[daath_vader]

I would still like to see your new garden.

[He knows when he's being told not to come. He's not sure if he should accept that or not.]

[checkmychainyo]

[He sends only coordinates to the outside of the Gundam Building, where the garden is.]

[x, y].

[Action]

[daath_vader]

[Ion gathers a small snack of a sandwich and dried fruit and heads to the coordinates. Even as he walks, he's not sure it was the right thing to press Kurapica. At the same time, he is worried about the other. It is not the first time he's seen that look in someone's eyes, or heard that tone of voice.]

[checkmychainyo]

[Kurapica is leaned against the side of the Gundam Building as he surveys his work from a few feet away. It wasn't a perfect garden, but it would have to do; hopefully it could yield fruit and vegetables before winter - provided he was here that long.

Only a few minutes later, Kurapica saw Ion coming on the horizon. He rinsed his hands in a bucket of water he had set aside earlier for that very purpose.]

Hello.

[Action]

[daath_vader]

Hello.

[Ion smiles in greeting, stopping in front of Kurapica to look at the freshly planted garden. Though it's only earth, the neat rows and mounts have their own sort of beauty.]

Thank you for letting me come.

[action]

[checkmychainyo]

[Kurapica is a very orderly person, but he also has...experience digging and burying. The only difference is, none of those past burials promised to yield new life.

He nods to Ion.] It's no problem.

[action] Sorry this is so late!

[daath_vader]

[Ion approaches the blond, offering the small snacks he brought. Though his smile is gentle, there's a bit of understanding beneath it. He doesn't know what's wrong, but he knows there's something.]

Would you like to talk about it?

[And he can be a little too direct, sometimes.]

[action] likewise, sorry this late @___@

[checkmychainyo]

[Kurapica minutely stiffens when Ion offers to lend an ear. He takes one of the snacks, if only just so he doesn't have to meet Ion's eyes for a moment. They can be easily sucked into if one's not careful.]

It's not necessarily a secret, but what one knows and doesn't know is important here. [He's working up to it, anyway.]
