video; un: gonta; failed private??
[ It's summer, and here's an awkward torso shot of one very boofy jinba man in just a simple navy blue yukata with a white patterned obi. You can just barely see the bottom of his chin as he's speaking-- seems like he's speaking down to the communicator?? Clearly this dude hasn't really gotten used to handling this device despite being here for a full year.
He clears his throat. Maybe a little nervous. ]
If anyone of you know my wife, Konoha, don't tell her what I have to ask of you.
[ Clearing his throat again. ]
I'm in search of things for her. Gifts. Uh. Specifically jewelry. Jade. Something precious. Something... to... uh... let her know that she's important to me.
I don't do well in the realm of humans. Not even in this whole year I have been here. So, I would like to ask you for you help.
[ And he bows deeply to the communicator-- awkward, but very sincere. ]

But you're talkin' like she ain't freakin' crazy about ya! Did, uh... did somethin' happen?
no subject
I just wanted to... um... do more for her.
no subject
[He scratched his head.]
But I get where you're comin' from. Guys like us always wanna do more for the people we love, right? Trick is figurin' out what. Hmm...
Are ya stuck on jewelry, or are ya lookin' to brainstorm?

I was thinkin' of somethin' nice to help her wind down from work. I've been into blending teas for Naoto to drink to help her relax and stuff, or help her sleep when she's been stayin' up all night to work on a project.

I know some herbs can be collected and ground up to create something relaxing. My father did that for me every once in a while when I was a child.
no subject
[He gestured around his ears, his nose, his fingers.]
But if ya know your herbs, great. Then you can try somethin' new, but you can also do somethin' straight from the mountains, too.
no subject
[ Despite Kanji demonstrating, Gonta couldn't quite imagine Konoha wearing jewelry. At least not on a daily basis. ]
Do you think I should make her something from the mountains?
no subject

I can try. But, to be honest, the only thing close to home is this very farmstead we keep.
no subject
Hey, y'know, I'm movin' to Lyestellus pretty soon. I'm due to visit and sign some stuff and the whole place is smack dab on top of a bunch of mountains. I can getcha some flowers n' herbs from there tomorrow.
no subject
[ Gonta wants to see, but the idea of having to use the mechanical things..? Or anything complicated in general, has him feeling nervous. ]
no subject
I'm actually gonna head up in the next day or two to finish some stuff up there. I can show ya, make a trip out of it.
no subject
[ Gonta is immediately apprehensive. He's never actually ridden man-made transport. ]

no subject
[ He scratches the back of his head. ]
I trust your judgement.
[ And that's big coming from this jinba. ]
no subject
It reminds me of home.
no subject
[ Gonta's smile is small and nostalgic as he thinks about a return to the mountains. ]
I'll talk to Konoha. Maybe I could make this journey a part of the present.
