[ god DAMN ichimatsu it's okay we're conversing everything will be fine. She otherwise doesn't take much notice of his lack of social grace, after all-- Tear prefers her privacy too. Gingerly, she picks up a kitten and is absolutely downright marveled that she's holding one. You can see it right on her face. ]

That makes two of us. The quiet part, I mean. And gardening is a good hobby to have-- we're supposed to be building, aren't we?

[ baby cat baby cat baby cat tho, she nearly peeps when it rolls over in her hand and exposes its tummy. ]

I'm a soldier, so I didn't even have time for hobbies... aside from singing, I suppose.
