[It isn't difficult at all, with the coordinates Steve sent him, for Gau to make his way from the bakery to the part of the forest where his friend is waiting.

He's still brushing flour off the yukata he had been wearing under his apron, a little, and then he has to pause to buy sparkling cider on his way through town. Sake had been his first thought, but he vaguely remembered Steve disapproving of his drinking at the picnic, and he wasn't inconsiderate enough to do it on purpose in front of the man.

Besides, the cider will go nicely with the fresh fruit tarts that he's bringing from the bakery. Because visiting anyone requires food.

He seems almost weighed down, with his katana on one hip, his messenger bag resting against the other, and one hand full of a bag with the juice and tarts in it.

But there's a smile on his face, and he reaches up the other hand to wave as he catches sight of his friend.}

Steve-san!

[steelandstars]

[Steve turns when he hears his name, sees Gau and waves. He stands, brushes the grass off his pants and moves to help the small boy weighed down with so much.]

Gau! It's good to see you, friend, here let me help you.

[He says as he approaches, offering to take the bag full of goodies from him.]

[tenpa_tantrum]

Thank you!

[Gau easily hands the bag off, not arguing this once over someone taking his burden. Besides, Steve seems to like helping out.]

I brought you a treat from the bakery! And some cider...

[He laughs a little, almost sheepishly.]

I can't seem to help equating feeding people with friendliness or something.

[steelandstars]

[A soft, amused laugh]

Yes, well. I'm not about to complain.

[He peeks in the bag to see the tarts]

Looks delicious!

[He leads Gau back to where he'd been sitting, invites him to sit in the glass beside his shield.]

So tell me, Gau, how have things been? Has much changed since this business with paying tribute and housing?

[tenpa_tantrum]

[Gau took the offered spot on the grass, stretching his legs out a little, and then leaned back, a soft sigh slipping from his lips.]

I managed to pay the tribute, barely. I was all on my own for a few days... Yoite died and Raikou and Miharu... both... gone.

[He shrugs his shoulders a little, looks away.]

I got a job... at a bakery, that's where the tarts came from.
