[ On Wednesday morning, before the meeting, Shinobu emerges from the market with some seeds and groceries in tow. She spots Dongrang nearby and gives him a nod in greeting. ]
Yes. I thought I'd get stocked up on some more seeds. They weren't kidding about how fertile the soil is here. My crops have already grown so much!
Soil like this would be quite literally life-changing for the people back home.
[He's trying to look on the bright side of things here. That, and it has also genuinely stuck with him. This is exactly the sort of sustainability he's been looking into back home.]
[ Man...what a time. She feels pretty bad for Dongrang. She had a feeling it wasn't him -- profiling just simply isn't enough to pinpoint someone -- but she also doesn't want to take pity on him. She'd bring an offering but she's not sure if that'd be received very well.
So, she just has herself and her words. She knocks on the door of his cottage. ]
[Another visitor...? Dongrang is more and more surprised with each one. He didn't expect anyone to seek him out, let alone several people. Maybe he would've had a few less glasses of wine otherwise.
He's composed when he answers, if not a little worse for wear. It's been a Day.]
Oh, Miss Shinobu. [This really is a surprise.] Can I help you with something...?
[ She says it as casually as she can. After hearing from other people who've wanted to apologize to him, she's concluded maybe he's heard enough about the trial today. ]
Just wanted to know if you're a fan of tea, that's all.
I'm not interested in going over the finer details of what happened with you, because I'm sure you're tired of it by now. I'm offering to grab tea with you as a way to wind down, if you'd like company doing so.

[ That little comment makes her curious. He seems like the kind of person who wants to better his home. ]
You don't have many crops where you're from?

Tea? I'm more of a coffee person, but... Ah, are you offering?
no subject
[ She might get a hangover in the morning, and also, whew. They may need to wind down after...whatever the hell's happening to Sora tomorrow. ]
no subject
Can I ask the occasion, though?
[He's surprised by the amount of people wanting to talk, that's all.]
no subject
[ She'll just come out and say it. ]
