[paraselenes]

I see. Then would you allow me to hunt for you as well? I'm quite capable at foraging too, and fish is plentiful here. I may also be able to procure some seeds from the botanist fellow who recently set up shop, and can labor in fields even if I lack the delicate hand for tending to plants themselves.

In exchange, I would ask for less than you spend now, and you would save the time of doing so yourself.

[ it sounds like joonghyuk wants to be more self-sufficient around here anyway, so. ]

[regression]

[ This all does sound good, but he's going to touch this part first cause he's ??? ]

You're a soldier, aren't you? A deft hand is a learned skill and a delicate hand is a part of it.

[ he can't let you ruin his cabbages dimitri ]

[paraselenes]

[ unfortunately... he will ruin the cabbages. ]

I am dexterous with a blade. But [ ...how to put this ] certain circumstances make it difficult for me to handle something as frail as leaves.

[ just let him dig holes and pull weeds ]

[regression]

[ :thonk: He supposes it's some kind of curse or condition. As much as he dislikes Dimitri, he doesn't think the man to be so stupid as to not try all ways to work around this.

But. ]

If it's something you want to control, I can try supervising you.

[paraselenes]

[ this is not what he expected out of this conversation. ]

I'm willing to try anything. But I fear it will be a waste. It is something I spent a lifetime trying to leash, to no avail.

[regression]

[ what did he expect ]

You're still young and there may be ways found in the experiences from different worlds.

It won't be a waste.

[paraselenes]

[ insults ]

I'm not especially youthful, but perhaps you're right.

Though I don't understand. Why are you offering?

[regression]

[ He does think this makes Dimitri clumsy, just not conventionally clumsy. Is that insult enough... ]

It's within my interests that you don't break anything in the building in the near future.

I will already be accompanying you on hunts, scavenges, and fieldwork, anyway.

[paraselenes]

[ no, this is Nice. weird. ]

I won't argue that it'd be easier in pairs, or refuse the company. But I am capable of doing the work alone.

[ even if he prefers doing chores with others—it passes the time nicely—he'd sort of expected to take these errands off of joonghyuk's plate entirely. ]

[regression]

[ stop he's just a controlling perfectionist, but yeah he wouldn't want to leave someone to do work alone unless the plan is to divide and conquer. ]

I never said you weren't.

But as you said, it'll be easier in pairs. More efficient. More yield.

[paraselenes]

[ it's nice by tsundere standards. he half expected joonghyuk to reject his proposal altogether. ]

Very well. Right now I am feeling a bit strangely, so we had best keep some distance. [ the real problem is that if they go hunting together right now, joonghyuk will see him freeze up every other minute because of TREES ] But once I recover, I look forward to working with you.

If this place follows the same seasons as my home, then winter will be upon us soon. We ought to stock up while we can.

[regression]

[ HUH ]

If I had left you to do what you wanted, would you have started right away?

[ WHY PROPOSITION NOW IF YOURE USELESS ]

[paraselenes]

[ STOP he can do it, it's fine ]

Yes, because I am well enough to go out on my own. But I would rather not risk you catch my affliction.

[ he types slow because he is half-lying ]

[regression]

[ if this was in person he would lie detection his ass and it would backfire and explode in his face

There's a pause cause he's doing logic math. Dimitri is worried about being a hazard to him, but thinks he can handle things himself...? With this "disease?"

???

?????? ]

You are a fool.

[paraselenes]

[ good thing he's so great at lying online.

anyway he is unfazed by this insult because joonghyuk can't exactly stop him from doing things anyway. ]

I'm glad we could reach an arrangement.

[regression]

If I find you out in the fields, I'll tell your friends about your alleged ailment.

[ Threat. ]

[paraselenes]

[ WHY IS HE BEING THREATENED!!! the point he draws from this though is not to be found. he will leave meat and produce mysteriously in the kitchens like a cat. joonghyuk will have no idea who could possibly have done this. ]

It is not serious...

I did not take you to be someone who worries so much.

[regression]

[ Dimitri, he will just blame you unjustly... ]

You're concerned about others catching it and yet it isn't so serious?

I'm not worried.

[paraselenes]

[ Joonghyuk, why are you so worst. ]

That is correct.

Then why are you acting so concerned?

[regression]

You're being annoying.

[ does this answer Dimitri's question? No. ]

[paraselenes]

[ He takes this as a victory. ]

All the more reason to avoid me.

I'll inform you when my condition improves. Thank you for your time.

[ HE REALLY HAS TO GET THE LAST TEXT IN? ]

[regression]

[ HOW ELSE WILL DIMITRI KNOW HE READ HIS TEXT AND WILL BE ANTICIPATING AN UPDATE IN THE FUTURE ]

[paraselenes]

[ incredible.

anyway, the next morning, the kitchen will receive a modest amount of rabbits and foraged greens. :middle_finger: ]
