( It’s been a slow day at the citadel, at least, for actual shounen-notmermaid-turned-person, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki. He’s finished his field work with plenty of time and energy to spare and without any missions to go on, he’s decided to have some fun for himself.

… Unfortunately, a certain saniwa has hidden their phone away. Wow, talk about no fun. He really wanted to play that one game again. You know, that one game everyone is playing these days according to the colorful ads on tv. He was getting the hang of it the other day. Actually, he’s pretty sure he was even winning! And he was making so many new friends with those “invites.” Well, you can hide your technology from Mutsu but you can't defeat him.

As much as he enjoys this new time, he still enjoys a lot of the old traditions, just like his first master. Which is why you can find him outside, crouched on the ground in front of a small fire pit, roasting some yams he picked while working the field earlier. It's a little out of season but the seasons don't run his life, they don't control his story.

Before you can ask (were you even going to?) Mutsu notices you hanging around and beckons to come over. Yes, even if you’re a particularly stubborn Shinsengumi sword. )

Hey! C'mon over here!

[ seriously, one of these days, he needs to explain that buying things in-game costs real money. and while haru is a lot better off finances-wise than he used to be, he's still not exactly rich. and he's also still kind of a cheapskate. after all, who knows when hard times might hit? in his experience, it's better to be safe than sorry.

he only had the game at all because the download was free...

still, judging by the sight of mutsu's little fire-pit, it doesn't look as if haru hiding his phone hurt his feelings too much. that's the good thing about him, he supposes-- nothing seems to get him down for long, and he doesn't seem to need technology to enjoy himself.

still, he blinks as he's waved over, pausing with a basket held in his arms. he'd been out in the field with others just now, on his way to clean up and put everything away, but.. that can wait for the moment. it looks like he's forgiven? ]

.. Are those yams? [ he pads closer, setting his basket down and moving to crouch by mutsu. ]

( How can it cost money when they aren't actually handing over money? Is it like leaving a slip with a merchant to redeem later if they visit your lord? It doesn't make sense... teach him everything about it. What is a credit card and why does it what's the word... burn a hole through your pocket.

But oh man, here's master. Imagine the beckoning was even more enthusiastic because this is just the guy he was looking for. Tell him where your educated phone is! ... Later. )

Picked 'em myself earlier! ( Look at this huge basket. Aren't you proud???? ) I thought I'd use a few 'cause there were so many.

Want one? I'll get ya a big one.

[ one day haru will get all the blades together and explain the internet and wireless transfer and all that. for now, please just think of it as ~*magic*~, mutsu. magic that costs money. real money. please don't make haru break out the piggy-bank.

.. so enthusiastic. haru has a moment to think of how strange this is (it's spring, after all) and how oddly cute a big blade-spirit can be, before simply folding his arms loosely across his thighs and offering the small tilt of his mouth that amounts to a grin for haru. ]

Looks like you worked really hard. [ he blinks at the offer, though, pale eyes softening with fond amusement. ] That would be nice, thank you. Just a small one, though. [ he's smaller than you, mutsu.. ]

( Magic that costs valuable resources but doesn't take an hour and thirty minutes to use. That must cost a lot of tokens. No wonder master's so strict. )

That's right 'nd I got the rest of the field work done too! ( He worked extra hard. He gave his 100%. You know why? Because he never holds back! Gotta keep going, gotta keep working, gotta get things done! Thanks for the praise, he feels pretty proud now. ) Don't be shy, 've got plenty, master.

( And he'll start rummaging through his basket for perfect yam. Hmm, not this one, not that one, too skinny, this one looks kind of freakish-- here we go. While not "small" it isn't the biggest one in the pile either. Let's call it somewhere between "medium" and "big."

Mutsu'll even get it all started and set up on the stick just for Haru before handing it over, )

Here ya go!

[ see, now you get it, mutsu... ]

Just don't wear yourself out too much, okay? [ haru appreciates the enthusiasm that mutsu brings to pretty much everything he does, but he also doesn't want him crashing too hard later. he'd feel pretty guilty about it, even if it wasn't really his fault.

he watches in something like puzzled amusement as the blade sorts through his yams for one he thinks is right for haru. the one he pulls out is still much too big, but he put so much work into choosing it that the teenager doesn't have the heart to tell him that. instead, he accepts the stick, holding the yam over the flames and shifting to settle more comfortably. ]

You gave up on finding my phone, then? [ a slightly arch sideways glance. ]

( You mean he would get it if he could read minds right now. Maybe some day soon.... and when he finds out Haru needs money to pay for the game, maybe Mutsu will insist on using his merchant skills to help get money too... )

It'll take more than a li'l bit of field work to stop me.

( Minus the whole you know, history thing, this age is pretty easy. And at the question, Mutsu's head perks up and his eyes might get a little brighter. Is that.... hope in his eye? Clearly, he hasn't given up he was just waiting to fight another day. )

Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki never gives up.
