[cajolery]

None at all? Did you not have any holidays or celebrations?

[sparsity]

Nothing like that. Even if there was, there wouldn't have been a lot of time to use for it.

[ he's

a workaholic, actually. ]

[cajolery]

[ In the end, not surprising... ]

No time at all?

[ She pauses, making a soft, contemplative sound. ]

What were you busy with, then? Surely it could not have been more important than a little levity now and then!

[sparsity]

What? Work, mostly. In between that, it was better to train or rest. Or eat.

[ Like that age old adage — you can sleep and do normal human things when you're dead, etc.

...which ended up being true, for the most part... ]

[cajolery]

Perhaps I should have expected such an answer from you.

[ She really should've... ]

Very well! Then you have forced my hand! Was there ever aught that you wished to learn? Unrelated to work or training, of course.

[sparsity]

I didn't do anything...

[ your hands were fine as they were?? He makes an undecided hum, as if both uncertain of what he should say, if anything at all. ]

Well, you already know one thing. Growing lots of plants.

[cajolery]

Ah, just so! Oh, but gardening does sound like a wonderful hobby. We shall learn it together!

[ There it is, her brilliant plan to Get Mikazuki to Unclench. ]

[sparsity]

[ He was born Clenched. ]

You want to?

[cajolery]

Of course! Why, it must be so very rewarding, to coax life itself from the soil with your own hands.

Oh, and flowers are so very pretty.

[sparsity]

[ A pause. ]

Yeah. I think that too.

[ On both counts. ]

Is there a flower you like?

[cajolery]

Mostly any, I suppose, though I do have a fondness for peonies.

[sparsity]

I don't know a lot of kinds yet. I guess that's another thing to learn about.
