seventeen crows (朱) voice/action

[yourhatred]

[This afternoon finds one CHEERFUL(?) Itachi walking out of the grocery, a bright SMILE(?) on his face and a full bag in his arms. He's HUMMING(??) something under his breath, a light bounce to his step.

He pulls out his journal casually, sending an unfiltered message to his brother.]

Sasuke. Are you recovering well?

[All of this is, of course

[Grune just so happens to be passing by as he comes out from the grocery store. Seeing him look so cheerful, she gives him a bright smile and a wave.]

Hello! Isn't it such a lovely day?

[yourhatred]

It is, actually.

[Itachi smiles right back.]

I don't think I'll keep myself cooped up at home this afternoon.

[lostinmyway]

[That makes Grune's smile grow.] Oh, are you going for a little walk today?

[yourhatred]

Something like that, possibly. Or work on my garden.

[lostinmyway]

[Oh, yes, Itachi has a garden!] How is your garden? Is it growing well?

[yourhatred]

As well as can be expected, I think. It's been a while since I've cultivated anything.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, would you like some help?

[yourhatred]

[He shakes his head, still smiling.]

I appreciate the offer, but I will be fine. It's a small rooftop garden and doesn't require much tending.

[lostinmyway]

All right. If you change your mind, I'd be happy to help!

[yourhatred]

That's very kind of you. I'll keep that in mind.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, it's no trouble at all.

What are you growing in your garden?

[yourhatred]

Some cabbage and potatoes right now.

It's a bit small for them, but they were simple enough.

[lostinmyway]

You must be very excited for when they finished growing. Then you can make all kinds of tasty things to eat with them!

[yourhatred]

I'm looking forward to it, yes. It's always more pleasurable to eat vegetables you've grown yourself.

[lostinmyway]

What are you going to make?

[yourhatred]

I hadn't decided yet. I'm sure I'll be able to look up recipes between then and now.
