01 🐎 video c/o Konoha
[Those who know Lunatia's local centaur lady will probably recognize Konoha's face as the video cuts in... way too close up at first. But thankfully she pulls it away from her, and, with a few taps on the lens with her finger, turns it to reveal... another centaur! A much bigger, buffer, and male centaur, but yeah, that sure is a sweaty fellow with a bunch of lumber?]
Gonta! Here you go, it's working now! All you have to do is talk to it as if you were talking to actual people.
[For a moment, Gonta squints at it with his one good eye. And all of Lunatia gets to enjoy an eyeful of nearly shirtless buff sweaty one-eyed horseman with a large plank of wood over one shoulder.]
Uh...
[He was about to talk, but it suddenly feels awkward. He isn't sure... is this people? This is so surreal... but his eye just goes for Konoha and he clears his throat, trying to compose himself.]
So... uh... the machine things. They stopped working well when those jellyfish came. I smashed some. And the Prismals took the rest away. Uh...
[By the great mountain, this is so awkward. He scratches the back of his hair. The video sways a little in Konoha's grasp, and a little "Mmm, that's good! Now you just have to ask!" can be heard before- oops, there's some fingers in the shot, don't mind that.]
Alright, alright...
[Gonta composes himself, straightening his back, looking every bit a majestic, strong jinba with a long piece of hard wood.]
Without the machine things around, we need help to complete our new home and farmstead! I'm hoping to get this all done before the month ends. I'll be hoping for your assistance.
[And he bows respectfully towards the camera. The camera bows too???? Until Konoha remembers she's holding it and so her bowing too probably isn't a good idea, straightening back up and turning it around way too close to her face again.]
We'll pay you some, of course! And I'll make meals so you don't have to worry about that, either!
[One more bow and the feed cuts out halfway through Konoha's "Good job, Go-"]

He's my husband!
video - reply to both
[ Torako's gasp can probably be heard on at least two of Prismatica's moons. ]
That's... that's incredible! Congratulations! How old are you, Konoha-san? I guess I assumed you were around my age!
[ Of course, she realizes suddenly, there's no reason to assume jinba age the same way as humans or that they have the same views on maturity. But she's still curious. ]
And what's your name, Konoha-san's husband? Um, if you're still listening!
no subject
[ The reply is gruff and simple. ]
Who are you?
no subject
Mm! I think we’re about the same, aren’t we?
[Twenty or so? Perfectly marriageable! She turns to Gonta to explain, though-]
This is Aiko! She helped me before, when those jellyfish were around.
no subject
I- it's very nice to meet you, Gonta-san!
[ Remembering her manners, Torako bows deeply at the camera. Got to show respect to someone who might absolutely be able to trample you with their giant hooves. ]
Yes! Konoha-san was being attacked by some jellyfish a few weeks ago, so I carried her out of the apartment!
[ Spoken like it's no big deal for a human teen to be able to lift and carry a half-ton horse-woman. It's not, right? ]
no subject
[ Somehow (probably thanks to Konoha), he realizes he does look scary and tries to play it down-- well, as much as a massive, burly centaur man can. ]
... wait...
You carried her?
[ He's genuinely shocked? She looks very human! ]
Are you jinba or youkai!?
no subject
But even though she nods along, because yeah seriously how did Torako do that???
She’ll let her explain.]
no subject
[ The question sets off an unpleasant twist in Torako's stomach -
What is that thing?
It's a monster!
- but she knows it's different when the person asking is a mythical creature themself. It just takes her a second to swallow her instinct to escape. ]
I just... I'm pretty strong, and she seemed like she needed help, so...
[ please don't be mad please don't be mad ]
no subject
That's amazing! Never thought a human could do that. I mean-- I can lift her easy, but it takes many men to do what I can do!
no subject
[Konoha’s palms slap her cheeks a little bit in embarrassment, as if she was a dainty little maiden being bridal carried and not... a half ton centaur wife.]
I didn’t think she could do it either, but she definitely got me on her shoulder... so I can vouch for her strength!
[Though she recalls it IS more fun when Gonta does it... because there’s no jellyfish.]
no subject
Thank you so much! I can show you when I'm helping you with your new house, Gonta-san! Um, what kind of help do you two need, exactly? Whatever it is, I'll do it!
no subject

[ This to Konoha, of course. To Gonta: ]
Leave it to me! I used to work at a construction company... although they usually wanted me to do the destruction part. Oh, but I won't destroy your house, though! I promise!
[ Definitely not on purpose! ]
no subject
((ooc: Sorry gonna handwave any actual construction stuff because I had been mega slow over the past months due some RL stuff. ;; But you can assume Torako was well-received by this big fellow.))
