Adohiro the young crane decided to plant some seeds from some of the fruits he bought. He had already eaten the fruits and thought maybe he could save money by planting the seeds. It'd be cheaper. He gives a glance as he dug the dirt and dropped the seeds. He gives a sigh as everything was mostly planted now in the garden and hr now had a few more deeds to do. He didn't know if anyone would come here.

*Yukibana enters into the garden, picking up some flowers and sniffing at them gracefully. He looks over to the Daidoji, clearly gruff and adorning the symbol of the family.*

"It seems you're a bit overworked. Have you considered giving this a rest? Flowers can bloom in surprising ways, with or without our intercession."

Berta
Adohiro gives a glance over at her soon seeing her walk in. "I don't think I'm overworked though but thanks for the advice." He spoke giving a glance at the flowers she had. "They're fruit seeds though. I don't know if they'll grow. I have no information on how to grow them though." He gives a sigh.
Elizabeth
"Perhaps you need to coddle them; think of them as a child until they grow. Plants are the fruit of the earth, fruit being the food of man.

But I think you would want a true Asahina to tell you that, rather than a half-born."
Berta
"Hmm maybe. I guess we'll just have to see." He said. He has no few if this soil would work for them but he had no clue. "It seeks you know a lot about plants." He said interested a bit.
Elizabeth
"No, not really; it's just a lesson in socialization. I see your toil, I claim I am part Asahina, and I dress effeminately... Few would argue what I say. 

That's not to say I am a liar, as these things are true; I am just a Crane, the same as you."

*Yes; Yukibana was a man.*
Berta
He gives a glance over a bit confused as he gives a nod. "Oh interesting. My toil?" He asked wondering if he could actually. "Want to help me plant the rest of the seeds. Oh right, I'm Daidoji Adohiro." He grinned giving a small bow after standing up.
Elizabeth
*He gives a courtesy bow back.*

"Kakita Yukibana, of the Kakita Dueling Academy... Though my job is guided through my lord, who is an Asahina, so you can imagine the dissonance between what I know and what I must do."
Berta
He gives a nod as he heard his name as he greeted him. "Oh interesting." He spoke. He wondered what it was like working for the academy. "Oh we should spar maybe? That sounds fun." He said with a smile.
Elizabeth
"I don't think so. The sword is important to use *Sparingly,* So as to not adopt a - so to say - Lion-esque mindset."
Berta
He gives a confused glance. "I guess so. But isn't also good to polish one's skills at times too?" He asked. "And to learn from others?"
Elizabeth
"The best training is within the mind and in action...

Also, I am not a fan of fighting in these clothes; they're quite expensive and elaborate to sully."
Berta
The young crane gives a glance over at his clothes. "I guess they are. What brought you to the garden though?" He asked. "Do you garden?" He asked the young male wondering if he did.
Elizabeth
"I quite enjoy looking at the art and fruits of the labor... And no, I'm no gardener - as I have said prior, it's all in posturing that could lead you to believe that way."
Berta
He gives a stare at him hearing about the posturing. He gives a nod. "Wanna help me plant the seeds though!" He asked as he scraped the dirt to make a few holes.
Elizabeth
"I very well could."

*Yukibana takes off his scarf and jinbaori before taking off each individual earring, gently placing them down the relatively clean pavement. He then takes a few seeds and deftly places them down in the hole, intentionally spreading some above the soil for added measure.*

"Ick... I may need to clean my clothes now. This city feels dirty even in its cleanest areas."
Berta
He gives a glance as he watched him take his earrings and scarf off and a few other materials. He watched him plant the seeds, he was shrouded he did so. He seemed like the type who didn't want to get his hands dirty. "Oh nice thanks." He said. "Yeah you definitely don't want to wear dirty clothes in public." He said. "I'm surprised you are helping me. I'll be sure to share some fruit if they ever grow."
Elizabeth
"Despite the bad aura of this place, I doubt it will be so barren. I would advise getting the aid of a shugenja proper, as they are more attuned to these things... Just make sure it isn't an errant Soshi or Yogo."
Berta
He cast a glance over heeding he get a shugenja proper. "Oh okay. I wasn't planning to but I guess I could." He said giving a glance over at him. "Oh wanna go out and get some good food! I know a good few places around here." He smiled.
Elizabeth
"I think I must pass. Eventually, I must meet with our ambassador, if and when they come around... I was sent as a courtier, of sorts, so politics is why I'm primarily here."

*He picked up his stuff and walked away, placing them upon his diminutive pony before wrangling it up with a leash.*

"Until next time, perhaps?"
Berta
He heard he needed to meet the ambassador. "Oh want me to show you the way to his office? It seems everyone gets lost." He said. He heard his words and he gives a nod. "Well of course."
Elizabeth
"That would be good, yes."
Berta
"Let's go then!" He said. He would put the shovel he was sort of was using back in its place. He then would quickly wash his hands. Once done he began to lead him inside. He went down a few twisting hallways and to the ambassador's office. "Here it is!"
Elizabeth
"Thank you, Daidoji-san. I think it would be best for me to rest here while you convalesce back home or somewhere else."

*He bows again, deciding to sit down on the floor next to the office door.*
