[For a moment, there is a close-up of what looks like one very bright green eye, then an "oh! sorry!" muffled from somewhere, and the image pans out some to reveal a young woman. She's perched on the edge of a bed in a room with a growing collection of potted plants, her long hair pinned back in a messy bun.

She waves! And smiles.]

This network sure is lively! I didn't expect to see so much open discussion... [Especially concerning the topics, is the implication here, but it's said so cheerfully it's hard to tell if she's being insulting or not.] but that's good, isn't it? It's nice to see so many people getting along, even if they're from different places. It encouraged me to use it too.

For those of you I haven't met, my name is Aerith. For those of you I have, thank you if you helped me, and I hope you're all settling in alright. It's been a big adjustment for me, but I think I'm finding my way around things. It's hard to say! I guess I won't know until something big happens.

More to the point...I wanted to talk about something. Where I'm from, I used to grow a little garden in a church. I've got something of a green thumb, you see. [:)] I've been doing work into finding out what grows here locally, and I was thinking of expanding some. A community garden...that'd be nice, wouldn't it? I've never grown anything with other people. I suppose I'm a little shy about it. [:))] And as I'm learning, it would take Chroma...

But new places are all about expanding your horizons, right? Let's work together. If you've never planted anything before, once I've got everything set up, I can show you how.

So!

What sort of plants would you all like to see? Something edible? Floral? Anything from home? [She fistpumps.] I can try my best to grow it!

Oh, and —

Can anyone tell me more about the plant life here? I want to learn as much as I can.

You can say what you like, but it doesn't make it true. [ Hmph. ] You can tell him that he can call himself a human, but it won't make him human. You can tell him to call himself a youkai, but it won't make him a youkai.

[ 'ch. ] You can say anything and everything that you want... but it won't change anything.

[ How do these things work. Hm. ] Inuyasha, if you wish to cry your story, go ahead. This Sesshomaru is done with playing with your new nursemaid.

[evanescent]

You're just starting a fight on purpose now! That high and mighty attitude doesn't fool me.

[She is annoyed.] You're acting like a rude sibling.

[fashionicon]

I have never considered that half-breed to be my brother!

[evanescent]

[Oh boy.

Softly:]

So that's what it is.

...I don't want to get involved in that business. I just want to build my garden.

[fashionicon]

Good.

You finally understand your place. [ And it is out of this problem. ]

Your garden will be built.

[evanescent]

[An offended noise.] I can take care of my garden myself, thank you.

[fashionicon]

Hmph.

[ ... ]

Utterly ridiculous. You get yourself involved and then you get upset by yourself.

[ HE'S OUT. BYE, EVERYONE.

Unlike Inuyasha, he doesn't believe he did anything wrong so he doesn't do anything to help out with the garden. Sesshomaru, everybody!! He's here for the unforeseeable future!! ]

not here

[He is a scant hair's breath from taking this bait and screaming some more, but something in the woman's tone halts him. That she predicted it was a sibling's goading, that she got that stone-faced bastard to lose his cool...

Perhaps he ought to leave his barbs for another day. Let her carry on her work in peace and keep well away from this mess.

Besides, where was the satisfaction in yelling at Sesshomaru if he couldn't finish by busting that dumb snooty nose?]
