Brrrr, hunting food down here is rather hard work!!! ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡
When you're watching someone do it, it seems pretty easy, doesn't it... but when you try it yourself...
It's nice that we got a bunch of crops to harvest, but a guy's got to have some good jerky once in a while (*｡_｡)
I wasn't prepared at all for coming down here... hey, there's a lot of people in the same boat as I am, am I right??
Since we have so many stupendous warriors amongst our midst, it wouldn't hurt for us to share tips. At the very least, drawing up a map of where we're all staying would be useful if any of us need any help (or food lol) ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉ
It wouldn't be good if any of us freeze to death from our own ineptitude (｀・ω・´) Maybe we could even put together a survival guidebook of sorts!
Well, well?? What do you think, everyone?

[He'll manage to answer some replies before all goes silent on his end for a few minutes or so.

...

Still on Kano's tablet and under his name, the entry gets a video tacked onto it. Some green hair can be seen but only for a moment as Kido turns the video on a certain idiot sitting in the snow, putting pressure on his leg. An irritated sigh is heard.]

Tch, I'll give a lesson: Don't let an idiot handle a gun. He's fine by the way. It's just a graze.

[She's still fretting anyway.] We came this far out looking for something like small game or whatever. We were trying to assess the resources of this place outside of getting in good with the villagers and doing mission runs...

Anyway, I guess what Kano says still holds. [Fumbling with the tablet, it points down at the snow.]

Hey, let me look at it... [The gentle voice gets cut off as she shuts off the video.]

[He grins when she pulls away, folding his hands together as he leans against her.]

I'll be fine. Kido's taking care of me, too, after all.

[concealingeyes]

It's my job. Ah, geez, it's my job on every level, isn't it? Leader, best friend, girlfriend... I have to take care of you three times over.

[She sighs like it's a hassle but she smiles softly to herself.]

[duplicitoussight]

I'm lucky. I only have to do it two times: as your best friend and boyfriend.

[concealingeyes]

Hey, you have duties as my partner. What happens if I get sick or hurt? You have to lead.

[duplicitoussight]

I'm number three, aren't I? Shouldn't command fall to number two?

[concealingeyes]

Order doesn't matter. I know you could do it. You know me best, so I trust the decisions you'd make in my place.

[duplicitoussight]

You really think that way. Ah, saying that to a guy who can't even shoot a gun right...

[concealingeyes]

That's my fault more than yours. If you want to use it as an example, you're a better leader than me.

[duplicitoussight]

How is it Kido's fault? I borrowed it without her permission, after all.

[concealingeyes]

Ah, well... [She ducks her head slightly.] I could have prevented that, though. I was here.

[duplicitoussight]

... don't be ridiculous. Ahh, I'm the one who caused trouble this time. It's fine to scold me over it.

[concealingeyes]

I already made fun of you in front of everyone. [But she can't get what they said out of her head. It was her gun after all.] ...Anyway, I'm sorry.

[duplicitoussight]

I said it already: it's not Kido's fault. [He holds her hand.] I stole it because I didn't want to bother you.

[concealingeyes]

[She smiles a little and links their fingers.] You wouldn't blame me even if it was, idiot.

[duplicitoussight]

And you'd blame yourself even if it was me.

[concealingeyes]

We don't really know what that 'middleground' thing is huh?

[duplicitoussight]

It's because you're a really stubborn person when it comes to stuff like this. [Like he is.]

[concealingeyes]

So are you. [She smiles and rests her forehead against his.] You're such a pain.

[duplicitoussight]

A giant pain you like kissing.

[concealingeyes]

Yeah, well, I never said I made good decisions.

[She pauses, then grins at him.] I know I made the best decision though.

[duplicitoussight]

[Ah... despite the cold, his face is beginning to heat up.]

It's too early to say, don't you think?

[concealingeyes]

I've known you for ten years. I don't think that's early at all.

[duplicitoussight]

And Kido has the rest of her life to see whether or not it's true~

[concealingeyes]

I already know, idiot. But I guess I'll take that to mean "for the rest of our lives" so whatever.
