[Very informative.]

I'm not growing vegetables on someone else's ship

[mortalcoil]

public garden

and library

gym

shrine

[he's a helper.]

[witheringlotus]

[OH. It's the OTHER big ship!

... But still.]

I don't want other people eating our stuff

[A pause.]

I'll cup them

[Another pause.]

cut

them





a lot

[mortalcoil]

[...okay. so, Kanda might have entertained Coil enough with that one text, for enough different reasons, that he's earned himself a couple points.

after a pause to really appreciate everything about that last message--]

what kinds of food

[witheringlotus]

[He's trying so damn hard. At least Coil doesn't seem to hate him yet, though Kanda does wish there was a space on the ship that he could grow plants in... Maybe he'll just use his room until he feels comfortable flying to the Iskaulit by himself.]

whatever I can find

right now I have giant peppers

I think everything on this planet is giant actually

[mortalcoil]

seeds

?

im already growing and dont have a lot of room

[witheringlotus]

[...!]

I'm going to use the seeds from these peppers
what are you growing
I just want to grow things I'll eat
I don't like the food here

I want green peppers and squash and lotus root
sweet potatoes are okay too I guess

[mortalcoil]

im growing things i need

no one likes the food here but you get used to it

squash spreads out too much
sweet potatoes go too deep
doesnt lotus need mud
green peppers might be okay

[witheringlotus]

[NO, COIL, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. He's spent the past nine years eating the same four things.]

I doubt I'll be able to find lotus anyway

[He sighs. He really, really wants that squash.]

I'll look into the public garden
maybe I'll just make my own in some empty room
place seems big enough

do you need seeds for anything in particular

[mortalcoil]

[look, you're never going to be able to explain the importance of favorite foods to someone who is missing most of their tongue. he's going to miss the significance every time.]

engineers know how to build
look at how my garden is built and it wont be hard to make one

im still looking for Ricinus communis

[witheringlotus]

[That's about as close to an invitation as Kanda's going to get.]

all right

are you planning on killing someone
or is it for the oil

[mortalcoil]

it has many uses

[which is a completely reasonable answer and not suspicious at all.]

[witheringlotus]

[... well.]

I'll keep an eye out
