Hands clasped behind his back as his gaze traveled across the way , planning to start from one end and work their way down . โ Maybe you should bring something back for your troops . Although they might use it as more reason to force you on a break again . โ
Hmm , what did he need indeed ? He was really just trying to appease the generalโs silent want for normalcy . Which is something heโd deny , as he usually does when he does something kindhearted for another .
โ I could use some herbs . . . โ
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...
โ
Heโs a bit picky , scrutinizing bushels for what looked the most fresh and what had the most mature leaves .
โ I do enjoy perusing the music shop for a new score or record . โ A way to prolong the time they spend together in the market .
โ Iโm certain I wonโt even have to tell everyone what I spent my time off doing . News of me making an errand boy of the general will travel quickly . โ A nonchalant tone , but the other would recognize it as the teasing it was .
They definitely were a pair that couldnโt possibly blend into a crowd even without their reputations . A shock of color in the surrounding area , fairly tall to boot . Not to mention the scaley look provided by fortes .
The general is widely adored and respected , after all . He couldnโt possibly monopolize him .
As soon as the other was ready to head off , he started walking at a steady pace .
It seems theyโd 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 theyโll be stopped as they shop , but heโll try not to be too outwardly irritated .
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 โ
Slight hesitation in his voice , heโs not one to praise someone over something so simple usually , but . . โ Itโs admirable to attempt it even so . โ
Itโs not as though sheโs a well versed researcher . Her dedication to learning more in order to protect Jinzhou is commendable .
โ Oh, Mortefi? Good afternoon, here for research? I think Rover is with the general. โ Someone can come for you Yangyang...
A small smile, holding the book sheepishly. โ It's beyond me but, whatever I can learn will help in the future. โ
