"I am not sure that this is what they meant. . .
But I have seen the photography trend."

he wanted to be included... don't mind him.
maybe he'll try finding a gulpuff-.

He could always train on him if he wishes to ..

I mean— Ahem.

"You're doing well."

The teasing is noted... and attempted to be played along with- if not leaning a bit hard toward the practical aspect.
"Were there particular items that you needed?"

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

Well, he /could/ monopolize him... it wasn't as though the general would complain- he certainly didn't when presented with the prospect of spending this mandatory break from working with the other. But either way...

It seems they’d both finished off their meals , the red head standing up to leave . The waiter was patiently at a close distance to pick up their dishes and utensils .

He does consider how often they’ll be stopped as they shop , but he’ll try not to be too outwardly irritated .

— Perhaps the redhead's reputation for not enjoying idle chatter or being interrupted were sparing the duo a few approaches already.

"At least it will be well witnessed that we are not participating in work-related activities."

Is this how it is done?
I have seen others holding the chins of their pets. . . . . .

I do not have a pet. . .

— wasn't it sad that he'd suddenly come back to life once there was a task at hand? Truly a fool that was lost without something needing to be done.

One more spoonfull of st-... ah... never mind... it looks like he'd eaten it all.
When had that happened?

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

It wasn't as if he were putting off planting said seeds... but attempting to do so before he even tries to sleep a full night was likely not the right call. He'll do that early in the morning, come what may.

Those accustomed to overworking themselves —

[𝓕𝓲ℯ𝓇𝔂 နℴ𝓋𝓁 ⋆ ঌ ⋆˚࿔ @noblessedraco]

Ahh , the seeds . He can’t imagine the general will be in the highest of spirits after that .

The reaction is just slight too , and he’s not usually so observant about others down to the minuscule details ..

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

— a small hint of relief did ease whatever shadow had begun to creep over his expression.
Really? Mortefi would allow him to help with such mundane things?

"Do not worry about my carrying capacity. I will be fine."
In some ways... —

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

— furnish a home that they would come back to at the end of a long day... He no longer had that luxury...

"This stew had been the only other thing on my mind..."
he'll at least eat well while he's here...

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

'Relaxing' meant different things to different people. All he wasn't allowed to do were things associated with his proffessions. Chores like this didn't align with war or medicine, so it was safe! Besides... if he didn't do something at least minorly physically demanding, —

[𝓕𝓲ℯ𝓇𝔂 နℴ𝓋𝓁 ⋆ ঌ ⋆˚࿔ @noblessedraco]

Workaholics indeed . They were so alike yet not . It was their similarities and differences alike that made him quite so comfortable with Jiyan .

The thought of the general carrying his groceries around as they went from shop to shop was an amusing one .

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

— I am not sure of what else can be done given my constraints..."

It was the fact that Mortefi /was/ always in Jinzhou that he'd wanted to help with simple tasks like that. One with a home here can actually purchase fresh foods in advance, —

“If there is something in particular you wish for us to do, please let me know. I am able to carry groceries-“ only somewhat of a joke… though spending the time practically in a way that didn’t violate the guidelines wasn’t a bad idea.

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

Fishing was… something to pass the time- and another excuse to be near the water for more access to gulpuff sightings. It really was the only thing he could think of to do by himself to simply take up time before attempting to sleep for the night.

[𝓕𝓲ℯ𝓇𝔂 နℴ𝓋𝓁 ⋆ ঌ ⋆˚࿔ @noblessedraco]

Also unsurprisingly , they were both at a loss of what to do . Even in his free time his hobby was analyzing scores . Of which were in his office that he’s currently being barred from .

Fishing . . . ? That would definitely be calming if it’s something the general enjoys .

[𓆩 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧 𓆪 @TempestTaming]

— If both were open to it, why should they not spend that time with pleasant company?

The only trouble with this pair is… what to speak about that simply doesn’t involve work?
Workaholics to the bone, these two.
