[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.]

[Maybe it sounds bad, to someone else, but... Yashiro is talking to a woman who decided to leave behind not only her adopted parents, but her entire village in order to join her husband in his ancestral home, so.]

Mmm...

[She understands. There's no hiding the way her gaze drifts back to Gonta on the other side of the party, her expression softening. Maybe he would stay in Lunatia forever. (Maybe she would, even if she doesn't want to.) Maybe he'd end up back home. But either way-]

Just make sure to explain yourself properly, if you have the chance. Your mother gave birth to you... Mothers [well, good ones] just want to make sure their children will be safe and happy, even if it isn't at their side.

[ Doumeki can tell there's something there, that Konoha might have gone through the same as him. They both got fairly involved quick, didn't they? It makes sense, back in those days, women left their families as soon as they were married. Even for jinba, that must have been the case. ]

Yes. I hope I can, someday.

[ He nods. His mother had been good to him. She was kind, and he can hardly blame her for the things his father did while none of them aware. He misses her, as well as his sister, but his happiness isn't with them anymore. ]

[lumberlady]

Good.

[Content with his answer, Konoha gives Doumeki another firm pat on the shoulder, a soft, understanding smile... and then she breaks into a bright grin, patting him even more rapidly a few last times.]

Now, let's focus up, Doumeki! I'm counting on you to serve soup and help me keep people who don't know what hot pot is from burning their imoni, alright?

[saezuru]

[ Ah, Konoha's pats.... it's ok, actually, he's a tough guy! He can take it! ]

I will. You can rely on me, Konoha-san.

[ He bows his head, taking this very seriously. He's nothing if not a diligent worker! ]

I will keep an eye out to ensure no one gets burned.
