Harvest is Late Again.

[mikangirl]

Who: Nami (sort of) and anyone so inclined to help her out!
What: A harvest.
When: November 5th and 6th
Where: The mikan grove.
Summary: Nami didn't make the call for volunteers this year, despite already running late.  Luckily, Law did.
Rating: Rated PG just to be safe.


[So Nami didn't have a good time on the draft.  Which marks her up there with every other survivor of the damn thing, so nothing special there.  Events were rather shattering for both her and her crew, and she's been up here since her return, working to harvest the orchard on her own fifteen hours a day.  It's mindless and it's something to focus on, and she just didn't have the heart to make a public call out on the journals, let alone ask for help.  Aang and Marco came to help her out some earlier, for which she's silenty grateful.  But at this rate she'll be at least another week.

She hasn't heard Law's entry on the locked community (or anyone else's, for that matter), so when volunteers start arriving, she's surprised.  And not quite sure what to do except sort of...keep going. 

But.  Something tight within unwinds a little.  She might not be good at showing appreciation today, but it helps.  It really does.]

((ooc:  I've had a request for a harvest thread with Nami, so I figured putting this up is a good idea after all.  Nami herself isn't very sociable, though, so just warning ahead of time!  Backtaggable into forever.))

[And Grune is beginning to notice this. She looks Nami up and down, then asks:] Are you a little tired today?

[mikangirl]

[...oh, Grune. It...sort of makes her smile, to have it reduced down to such simple terms. She's not sure why.]

I think that's the best way of putting it. Sorry.

[lostinmyway]

It's all right. Why don't you go get some rest and we can look after the mikans for you?

[After all, it's important to get lots of sleep to stay healthy.]

[mikangirl]

I don't think I should. I'm... uh. I like being out here. Working.

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... All right. [Grune will accept that for now.] But if you start feeling too tired, you should go take a little nap, okay?

[mikangirl]

I'll do that, Grune.

...thanks for the concern, though.

[lostinmyway]

You're welcome. [She smiles.] You're my friend, and you're such a nice person, so I want you to feel the very best you can.

[mikangirl]

Then I'll have to make sure I'm feeling a lot better sometime soon.

[...that sounded pretty lame. Still, the genuine intent is there.]

[lostinmyway]

[And the intent is what Grune hears clearest of all.]

And I'll help! I promise!

[mikangirl]

You're already helping by...uh, helping. [Really, she can't help but smile at that, even if it is a very wan smile.]

[lostinmyway]

[As always, any smile directed at Grune receives one in return at tripled intensity.]

Oh, thank you! But if you need more help, you can count on me!
