[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, excitedly trying to... set her network device up somewhere where it can actually get all of a rather large frame into the shot. Not that she waits to start talking.]

Greetings, everyone! I didn't realize it's been months since I last used this for "posting"... There's probably so many new people, so, um, very quickly- If you don't know me, my name is Konoha! I'm a jinba... Or a "centaur" if you want! And oh, that's my husband, Gonta... and our friend, Mikuni! Say hello, you two!

[Catching sight of the other jinba behind her pausing in their field work, she moves the camera to show a large palomino fellow (Gonta) who gives a gruff nod and semi-wave, and an elegant ebony-coated gentleman? (Mikuni) who dips into a more proper bow with a little smile.]

We run the Tsurugi Farmstead in the Greatmoon Groves! There was a lot of damage when it flooded before, but thanks to everyone's efforts we're back up and running properly... and we've had our first fall harvest!

So... as a bit of a thank you, and also maybe to celebrate not dealing with those awful nightmares anymore, I thought we could have a hotpot party here by the river? In my village we usually make imoni in the autumn, it's so delicious! It's full of beef and taro root and leeks and konnyaku... Mmm!

[She finally gets the device set up properly and trots back into frame properly, obviously excited by the invitation she's making.]

Cordis is almost over, right? So now seems like a good time before Iris shows up... But if you have a Cordis appetite, don't worry! We'll supply all the imoni... or, the ingredients, anyway, it's more fun if you cook it outside with everyone. We also have fresh sweet potatoes, pumpkin, new rice... oh, and persimmons!

But if you want to share anything, feel free to bring your own dish, too! Let's say... tomorrow? I'll send directions for anyone who hasn't visited before, alright?

I hope we see you there! Er, here, I mean! If you have any questions, just let me know!

[And with a last smile, she gives a big, respectful bow from the "waist" before moving to grab her device, a muffled "Gonta, Mikuni, wait up- !" before the feed cuts, and a moment later a pin on the Lunatian map app becomes available.]

SENT:
📍 TSURUGI FARMSTEAD, GREATMOON GROVES

[ooc: there won't be separate log posted for this, but I'll gladly action tag within this post with anyone interested!]

I'm so sorry... Please tell me it at least doesn't smell worse than anyone else's...

[He's still laughing, but like always it's not an ugly or demeaning sound.]

Konoha. I'm not bothered, really! It's the nature of things, here. I'll eat a persimmon if it would make you worry less, I'm really just hassling you. It was embarrassing for me at the time, but no, I don't really distinguish one from another. [He scrunches his face.] I try not to focus too hard on whose sex I'm smelling, given that's not my intention when it happens in the first place.

[JUST LET HER... hide her face in her hands a minute and let the steam finish roiling off her head]

I totally forgot that Tanjiro's nose was so good... or is it bad... it's gotta be bad in Lunatia... it's already annoying for me and I'm not even a tenth of Tanjiro's ability...

It's definitely a little bit bad, here, but I'm slowly getting used to it. It's just... awkward. [Sometimes he'll smell someone in this way before meeting them, and then know immediately upon meeting them who they've shagged. It gets real uncomfortable.]

Maybe just-

[Wait, what is she supposed to do... now that she knows... that Tanjiro knows... Where she and her husband like to do it...]

Thoroughwort! Can you stick thoroughwort under your nose... ?

[He makes a face.]

If I did that I'd never smell anything but thoroughwort. [He happens to like many other smells.]

Maybe just... Before you visit the farmstead during moon cycles... ?

[More laughter.]

It's actually sort of important to me that I'm able to smell things? I can't explain the ability, I've just always had it, so I can't really just... Stop using it because it's a little weird to know these sorts of things.

Maybe I'll just... plant thoroughwort... by the persimmon tree... ?

[She doesn't want to give up the tree... The branch arrangements are too perfect... What is she supposed to use, a pine??????]

[He balances his device on his bum arm again in favor of setting his good hand over his heart.]

I swear I'll keep the tree's secret, really.

I- It's not like I think Tanjiro will tell other people...

[She trusts him!!! That's not what she's worried about... !]

It's just... How am I supposed to want to do it if I keep thinking that you might smell it the next day... ?

[This is the silliest conversation he has probably ever had, and he's fucking Hashibira Inosuke. He ponders the question and snaps his fingers, pointing at the screen.]

I've heard of a funny thing modern people do-- they'll put socks on their doors so housemates know not to bother them for these things. Obviously you can't really put a sock on your door since outside is easier for you, but... We can come up with something. Some kind of secret signal so I know? Is that too strange?

[Socks... on the door?]

Like... Like a ribbon on the tree, or something?

Or somewhere farther from it, since if I can see the tree I can definitely smell anything on it. Maybe like... on the gate to the Farmstead?

[fnekwln right- IF HE CAN SEE THE TREE HE CAN ALREADY SMELL IT]

I- I could... hang a sachet on the gate?

[She only has like five ribbons, she shouldn't get them dirty! (... Nevermind that she has enough chroma money to buy new ones.)]

[He can frequently smell things before he sees them, okay. Don't question Biggie Smells.]

That should work!! Usually the smell only really lingers a couple hours, at most a day, so just keep that out there and it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sorry that it's a hassle...!

No, I’m sorry!

[she bows a few times in and out of the frame, face still red as a beet]

I’ll try to remember to put it out there! I’ll try really hard, even times when my legs feel like jelly!

[Possibly too much information. He scrunches his face again.]

Satchet is probably most useful if you put it out there before engaging in sexual activity...

[she splutters... then bows again... then splutters again... then mutters...]

B- but that only works when you plan it...

Planning is a bit of a requirement if you want me to not notice, I guess... But I mean, I don't mind, it's your property and your husband, I'm not about to tell you you can't...!

I can’t cant... I’m sorry! I’ll try to put the sachet up!!

[By the time he actually gets to the Farmstead he's put his device in the pocket of his sleeve and has his hands over his face, navigating the area by memory and honestly, smell until he winds up walking up behind Konoha and laying his hands on her back, putting his forehead on them.]

I'm sorry my sense of smell is so troublesommmmme.

[Busy with tending to a large boiling pot of imoni, that's all Konoha's nose can really smell at that point, so when she feels someone touch her she startles just a little, turning to look at who has found a spot on her bay hide-

And it's Tanjiro.

And her cheeks are suddenly bright red, and regardless of the very hot ladle in her hands she's clasping said red cheeks to ry and hide the reaction.]

Tanjiro... !

[HOPEFULLY IMONI IS JUST DOMINATING THE AREA NOW...]

No, I'm the sorry one! I'll feed you lots and lots to make up for it!

[He laughs softly, shifting to just put his face on her back proper for a moment, smiling into the short fur there and turning his head, draping his arms across her back to kind of hug her.]

I'll accept that. But-- you know, apart from that, you actually smell very nice. I hope that isn't strange to say.

[There's a moment when... this feels weirdly familiar. Deja vu, is that what it was called? It feels something like... a pleasant, wonderful dream she'd had a few weeks back.

And it calms her down, even though the blush stays as she reaches back around with her flexible upper spine to lay a hand on his head and ruffle his hair affectionately.]

I do... ?

[There'd been a period in her youth when a village boy had teased her for smelling like a horse, and she'd anxiously rubbed herbs into her coat for months after until her parents convinced her that she was fine the way she was and she ended up accepting that... maybe humans would just think she smelled like an animal.

So. If she looks weirdly happy to hear that...]
