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.))

[He picks her up higher and leans his head near her in as close an approximation to a hug as he can give. Having been surrounded by near-giants for so long, he has a tendency to manhandle those smaller than him, however affectionately.]

Rest assured, I'll do my best for all of you, but that includes you too, Beautiful.

[Pats her head soothingly with a single finger.] Don't worry about being a little selfish with me. What are big brother crews for, eh? Besides, if I can help you, then you can also help them more and you know them better than I do.

[At first, Miyabi doesn't do much even when she is brought higher, but after a minute or so, she finally reaches up with her little arms and gives Marco's cheek large hug. He's really trying to make her feel better, and she certainly does appreciate his sincerity and kindness. And his words do bring a smile to her face, and the light she gives off gets a tiny bit brighter again. Thank you, Marco, really.]

You're doing enough for me already, thank you. Telling me, and comforting me. If you can do that for the others, then I think it will be enough. [That's all anyone can really do for them now. Just stay by their sides, offer support, and wait.]

I'll give it my best, eh. And if you can give me tips, I'll follow them too. [Soothing head pets forever. It's what his Dad did for him, so without even realizing, Marco reflexively continues the tradition.]
