Miss Konoha! This Shen Qingqiu wanted to see how you were doing following the Sinless troubles last month. Has your husband found himself dealing with his moonblessings yet?
[ There's a 66% chance he has! ]
[ There's a 66% chance he has! ]
Master Shen, hello!
Thank you for... I’m alright. After you escorted me home I just tried to stay in until it all blew over... Are you and yours safe?

Miss Konoha, this is Ignis. We had spoken previously in regards to your request for help upon the network. I've completed the alterations on your clothing. I must apologize for the wait, and the inconvenience I must ask of, as I'm indisposed at the moment and would need you to come by my apartment to pick up your items.

Oh- good afternoon! This is Konoha!
[Who definitely won’t complain about the lack of text, seeing as she’s illiterate and text to voice function creeps her out with its weird flat tone... but she sure does sound surprised when she answers]
Don’t worry about it at all! Are you alright? You’re the one who did me the favor, I certainly don’t mind coming by to pick things up!

[ On the day of the return of everyone who went the Amegahara, Shen Qingqiu makes a delivery. These doughnuts are no longer hot, but there are fourteen boxes of them, and they are all still amazingly soft and delicious, and also, of every imagineable kind. Some are filled with delicious things, from custards to fruits to chocolate sauce; many are properly lacking a center, making them glazed, delicious rings of dough. Sprinkles can be found in some boxes, but not others, and also: he may have gone overboard.
These are delivered by handsome Moon Knights who look amused and perplexed, Shen Qingqiu reporting in at Lunar Scientia for a research stint as soon as he returned. Written on a note is: ]
Solemn oath. 🍩 delivery.
[ ........................ Enjoy your fourteen boxes of doughnuts made just that morning and having been carted across an inhospitable desert all day! ]

[When Konoha answers the door, a handsome pair of Moon Knights was not what she expected to see. Let alone... all those donuts.
She's delighted, though, and once she has one of the bemused men (the one with shiny scales on his face) read the note aloud for her just to make sure it says what she thinks it does, she borrows a pen from the other (the one with the feathers) and writes her reply very, very carefully on the bottom of the same paper, consulting her device to copy the symbols on the screen he'd sent.]
SHEN QINGQIU
much happy. 🍩 gratitude. share husband, next house people.
🍵 time soon please.

[Satisfied with her badly written note, Konoha gives it to the Moon Knights to take back to Lunar Scientia, and takes in return fourteen boxes of delicious treats... that she trots back into the house holding, calling for Gonta to come try the donuts before the door shuts behind her.]

[The angel watches her curiously as Konoha appears to search for something in one of her baskets. His face breaks into a genuine smile when what she returns with is a peach.
Fancy and expensive, are they? He certainly remembers the days when that was true in his own universe. Well, he's hardly going to say no to the offered gift. Peaches are yummy in general and the gesture is touching. He takes the fruit gently in his hands and gives a small bow of his head in gratitude.]
Thank you, my dear. It looks lovely. I'm quite fond of peaches, actually. Oh, they go very well in ice cream.
[Or just cream in general. Look, Aziraphale may not have multiple stomachs but he does really enjoy food.]

What’s “ice cream”?

[ a crucial element of the archetypal "tragic monster" experience is "I am a crude facsimile of a person, with no rightful place among man". And then, probably, self-isolation, the inability to believe you can ever truly connect with anyone.

( Look, it's a good time for the Iris folks to get together and have company, isn't it? Hope she isn't Interrupting Anything™️!
She sounds as calm and pleasant as ever when she begins the message she leaves, with that hint of playfulness curling her syllables that speaks to a bit of mischief. )
Good morning Konoha, I'm sure you're still working right now, but I thought I'd leave a message and see if you'd like to meet for drinks and catch up. Outside of the clinic. One of my friends here has been making his own wine and I have a couple bottles to share, if you like red wine!
Please let me know if you'd be free this evening or the next; I'd like to hear how you've been, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

[It's a little bit later that Konoha's reply came, because... Yeah, Angela was right, she actually was working, okay??? Actually working. Because the Iris moon isn't that full in the sky yet, she's not gone... fully into heat yet.
Or she wouldn't answer at all, she'd be far busier with. Other things.]
Hello, Miss Angela... Thanks for calling me. I don't really know what wine is, but... is it good? I don't mind trying it tonight if you want to meet!

[Oh... It's a message she'd been... sort of expecting, but not sure if she should dread it or not? Either way, there's not a doubt in her mind about replying... though she can't bring herself to even ask "about what".]

[ Shino waves Murasame away from his basket of oddly colourful vegetables, each and every one of them nothing like the ones he knew from Japan. It's the point and the delight in all of them, a mess of edibles he has no concept of what to do with, brought in their generous basket to one of the people he guesses can figure out something with these, or may at least be as interested in the discovery as he is.
He's a country boy at heart, even for having been raised indoors due to his health. Forests and their secrets, the fruits of the fields, these hold a larger piece of his heart and imagination than he usually puts to words.
Murasame, for his part, simply wants to cut to the chase and try eating everything raw. Which is why Shino ends up turning around and using his elbow to awkwardly knock on the frame of Konoha's door, calling out as he shoots a glare at his demon where he perches on a nearby post, cocking his head at his master who won't let him eat the raw vegetables. ]
Konoha! Are you home?

Konoha! Are you home?
[Konoha enjoyed life far more in the Groves, in the house she and Gonta had built. If she turned her back on the city, the buildings visible over the tops of the trees, she could almost pretend it was like home!
And now she has guests? Even more exciting!
Konoha appears in the entranceway of the farmhouse, wiping her hands on her apron with a curious look to see... Oh! It was Shino? She'd thought that voice was familiar?]
Shino?
[What was he doing here? And what in the world were all those weird tings in his basket???
It seems as if her morning was about to get a lot more fun than her previous solitary laundry pounding time.]

The former ruler of Sanguis moon received this picture and called it "junk mail." 8 days later Sanguis moon became uninhabitable. A man received this picture and immediately sent out copies, then received good fortune for an entire year, including winning a jackpot lottery. Copy, paste, and send this to 9 people or you will be cursed. Don't take any chances. Sanguis did, and now no one can live there.
Madam Konoha, please accept my apology for sending you this message. I truly do not want to be cursed, though I hope you know enough people to send this to.
[Konoha doesn't wear her device on her wrist but she does keep it nearby, so when she hears the sound of a call first thing in the morning she gropes around for it, reaching over her husband with an apologetic nuzzle before-
Ah, there it is. Nevermind the groggy, barely awake sound of her voice.]
Hello... ?
Ah, there it is. Nevermind the groggy, barely awake sound of her voice.]
Hello... ?
[ Knock-knock.
There is a firm knock on the door of Konoha's apartment. Tensaiga on his side resonates happily that Sesshomaru is actually acting out in the feelings that he has. Well, it isn't that he doesn't know the power of compassion and kindness. Konoha has shown him that in everything that she does.
He frowns as he looks down at his hands. It's a small tupperware of food that he has made, and a bundle of cloth underneath it. And yes, the great daiyoukai has made food. But it's only onigiri balls. About twelve of them -- and all of them are meant for Konoha.
He huffs and looks away, putting on an act even though she's not yet at the door to see him act dejected. ]

[The sound is enough to summon Konoha’s attention, pulling her gaze up from the sewing she was occupying her hands with and towards the entranceway of the home... and her sense of smell is what gets her to her feet. She knows that scent- !]
Lord Sesshomaru?
[The voice and the sound of hooves gives her away before she pushes aside a curtain to appear, a smile blossoming on her face immediately even though he seems to be wearing a pout. (After all, that was.... more common than a smile, but it’s fine!!)]
I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting you- come in, come in!
[Somewhat gracefully she quickly moves to her knees at the top of the two short stairs leading from the earthen entranceway into the hardwood of the home, eager to take his shoes and arrange them nicely once he stepped inside so she could show him to the main room.
It was a little silly, she knew, but. She liked taking care of her guests shoes. Made her feel like a good hostess and housewife!]

[Firalia's closing in, and left on the farmhouse doorstep one morning are two boxes: a long flat one addressed to Konoha, and a larger one addressed to Gonta.
Inside the flat box are two new ties for the lady jinba's bun. One is an earthy green color with a slight shine like the back of a beetle. The other is patterned with tiny onigiri repeating across a sunny yellow background.
"Sometimes you spot something in the store and you know exactly who'd wear it."

...The one thing he knows she likes for sure is food.]

[ Assuming Mikuni lives with or nearby Konoha and Gonta, he has to be sneaky about leaving a package by their doors. It is a success!
Not that it's a secret. There is a note attached. He just thought the surprise of it all seemed quite charming? So why not.
There's a soft package wrapped in paper decorated with christmas trees or whatever the Firialia equivalent is, and a little card with a reindeer on it attached (there was no jinba cards, rude). It simply says "Konoha" with "Mikuni" underneath it.
Inside the package is a very long horse scarf. He learned how to knit in the test drive meme and thus has knitted her her very own. It's in several shades of green! To represent the farm or the grove. ]

Konoha is thrilled to open it and find the scarf inside, and just as quick to wrap it around her neck and shoulders, nuzzling into the warmth it provides. She almost whips out her device to send the other jinba a message, but instead... It's her turn to sneak!
In front of Mikuni's door next time he leaves it unattended... a new year's set of clothes, complete with a card with a carefully written message: happy FIRIALIA! from KONOHA]

[ konoha! seriously! he was already going to give her a proper gift come the new year, but it feels all the more important with her generosity and kindness, along with gonta's. she's one of the people he feels most relaxed around here in this crazy city, and he likes the feeling of a pseudo family. he misses the found one he has back home.
he drops the gift off and then oh-so-slyly jogs away, because he didn't want to pay the cost of shipping all the foodstuffs he's found and gone out to buy over the last few days since returning to the city. there's a basket overflowing with holiday treats, many of them freshly baked or picked, some candies like peppermint bark buried in a section, popped corn, a carefully packaged cut of delicious, delicious beef. there's also some honey: one of the local bee keepers had a cute holiday label that he thought his sister might have liked, and so it ends up in konoha and gonta's rather oversized basket.
there's also a paper-wrapped package to the side of the basket, containing two woolen blankets. both are soft, and dyed, with geometric patterns reminiscent of growing grains and fruits and birds flying overhead in a blue sky; he'd thought they were pretty and also warm, what with how cold it's been lately. ]
Happy New Year, Konoha! Happy New Year to Gonta, too. All the best wishes and luck to you both this year, along with many happy memories. What better place for those to start than at a dinner table, right? Eat many good things!
Thank you for everything, Konoha. You're the best.

[Oh, it's Kanji's face on the screen! Kanji's... kind of flushed face? Had he been running or something???]
Me? Sure, I do! Whichever you like is fine with me.
[She definitely preferred in person to the devices, but- this is a friend, she'll manage if he wanted to use the screens!]

[ It's early in the morning, but not too early by the standards of most people with a regular sleep schedule by Setsura's reckoning when she sinks gingerly into the couch with a cup of tea and pulls a specific contact up on her device. It has been a minute since she last spoke to Konoha, but the timing seems... well, right. Things seemed to spiral after Ainfeil's Feast in November. A lot's happened since then, but there's no time quite like the present, hm? Hopefully it's a good time for Konoha as well. ]
Konoha-san, good morning. It's Setsura from late November if you recall. Are you busy right now?

[You rise early when you work the land, and Konoha is already finished with some chores, seen her husband off to market, and gotten deep into cooking the day’s meals when her device beeps... and oh- !]
