[ it's a good time to be an unexpectedly strong anime man. ]

They probably aren't even real. Don't waste your time. You should be resting right now - we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

But—!

[yeah, he's able to pull her away from the vegetables.]

I could feel them. They were real...

[psychedelica]

[ finally, a W for hikage. he is dragging her back towards the cabins!! gently, though - maybe more than you'd expect - and when she makes that comment, he's glancing over his shoulder at her. ]

... What's that supposed to mean? [ weird ] You didn't eat or drink anything strange, did you?

[ flashbacks to the castle... ]

[fishingforcompliments]

What? No, of course not.

[her brow furrows]

I have been very careful to prepare my own food and drink since we arrived here. [she glances back at the farmlands as they go] But you said the vegetables were probably not real - but I can assure you that they were. I held them in my hand.

[psychedelica]

That doesn't mean it's real.

[ she can feel his hand, too, right now. He slows down a little, brow furrowing as he continues to peer at her. ]

You're saying weird things.

[me, blinking at that meta text: hikage's hand isn't real?]

What is so strange about wanting to harvest them before they go bad...?

[psychedelica]

People are dying. You've got bigger things to worry about.

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah... [thank you for reminding her, hikage] Yes.

[but she still looks back toward the farmlands, anyway.]
