Who: Yuuko+Mineto
Where: After game start
What: Gossip swap~



When most people talk to their plants they don't expect the plants to talk back, let alone lean into water like a cat looking for attention. It had been a hot day and humans and youkai weren't the only ones feeling too hot. One of these days Yuuko would remember to install air conditioning in the shop but her water magic was keeping her cool for now. Other people in the shop would be less fortunate.

"Have you heard the news?" Yuuko asked lighty as she fussed over the plant.

"Nothing," Mineto said curtly.

He would only appreciate a little bit of silence. He noticed but paid no attention to the change in Yuuko's attitude. He was looking back at her with an expression that showed he was almost disappointed.

Yuuko, on the other hand, simply walked away without even a careless 'what can you do?' shrug as she usually would have. She returned to the counter and pulled a box from the side of fresh, unlabeled vials and page of stickers with names and warnings. She simply worked without a word or glance back.

Mineto was not looking back either. He was folding the list thoughtfully, and sliding it into his breast pocket. Then he was walking with slow deliberate steps over to the front door to pull it wide and leave it open. The climate was dry and warm, and the store had not seen air for a while. He set off down the road outside the shop, hands in his pockets as though he was the only person.
