nineteen crows (朱) action

[yourhatred]

[There's a figure clothed all in black and deep feathers of the same color sitting on the edge of the fountain. He's wearing a rather distinctive headdress, the fact that his outfit isn't more native american than it is possibly attributed to his struggles against the full transformation.

The blind man says nothing, nor spares attention to anyone that passes him by unless they address him first.

Dark birds of all shapes and sizes have gathered around his feet and all around the edges of the fountain as well. They are also eerily silent, scattering as anyone approaches on to return to the same spot at the first opportunity.]

((Itachi will be playing the role of Raven, the trickster.))

Especially with winter approaching.

[He'll just go ahead and pour your glass for you, as is proper.]

Speaking of, how's the garden doing? You should be about ready to harvest your crops...

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

It's doing fairly well. I chose vegetables that weren't too difficult to maintain, as I haven't properly worked a garden in years.

I would hardly call them crops, but I'd be willing to share some of what I collect.

[deathsdoctor]

[Amused.] Semantics, Itachi. [And this is the point of the evening where there's a drunken wolf whistle directed in their general direction, and then the slamming of the bar door as someone staggers their way home.

And we're more amused. Laughing.] Well it appears that someone liked what they saw over here - but, yes, if you're willing to share, I'm willing to cook. Or trade you some of my fruit from the trees in the back yard.

[The whistle is ignored completely, Itachi showing neither amusement or embarrassment at it.]

I had been volunteering to cook as well, but I won't keep you from that if you'd enjoy it.

[deathsdoctor]

[He takes a sip of his sake and lets the pleasant warmth work its way down.]

I do enjoy it [It's become quite the hobby.], but I also don't mind someone else pitching in as well. It's fun either way.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps it could be a joint effort.

[Which would be... an interesting experience.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Very interesting.]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

We'll have to set aside a time for that, then.

[There's a slight smile on the edge of his lips as he takes a sip of his drink.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Heeeeeeeey, you're actually taking the initiative in asking him to do something together. Kinda.

He takes another sip, a grin threatening to spread on his.]

Just let me know when, Itachi. I'll be there with... [Bells on? Breathing sudden amusement.] I'll be there.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[It's possibly a step in the right direction. Almost.

The kinda-smile widens into a real one.]

I'll look forward to it, then.

[deathsdoctor]

[So will he.]

Likewise.
