Open/Closed: Open to all! But there will be a few closed prompts in here!

[Now that everyone is back on the island hub, the work begins again. For at least the last couple of days Haru has been going in-between two gardens and making sure that she is prepared for the worst. One garden she hadn't even had a chance to start planting... the other? Well, it was in a sad state. The already sad looking mansion garden just looked sadder without her there to take care of it.

If one would happen to find her in the mansion garden, she will be on her hands and knees pulling a monstrous amount of weeds out of the garden. She looks a little worn out and perhaps that is to be expected for a huge garden that got completely out of hand while she was away.

At some point she is sending out a mental message to anyone in her vicinity:]

This is Haru speaking, if someone is free... could they come to the mansion garden? I think I may need a hand out here. Thank you!

[Later on in the day if someone were to find her in the garden by the outskirts of the forest, she is still preparing the ground and the soil for a project garden. It's a hard job to do by yourself, but Haru wasn't about to drag someone out here to do it with her if they didn't want to.]

[She is the most diligent when it comes to gardening. She knew this hobby of hers was pretty intense.]

Please, by all means. I have a lot of work to be done before this garden is presentable by any means.

[She's so happy that people were willing to help. It wouldn't get done without them.]

I need to go to the other garden today too, do you have time?

[ He might know little about gardening, but definitely enough to tell that she'll need all the help she can get if she wants to make this garden presentable before their next mission. Nothing has been confirmed, but their return here was more or less sudden, so... ]

I do. I am free tomorrow as well. And the day after tomorrow. How long might it take to get rid of these weeds?

Truthfully I don't know how long this will take. The gardens were left unattended the entire time we were in Aimintas. So it might take an entire week to clean them up again.

[She was determined to get this garden presentable. She was determined for it to provide food as well...it would just be a big help to the coven.]

I see.

[ That's all he has to say for now; rescheduling a week shouldn't pose a problem, and even if it does, Hibiki will manage.

It's mostly practice and cleaning, anyway. ]

I don't have anything special to do for a week, so I'll gladly help you out, Haru-san.

[ Less talking, more eliminating weeds!! ]

At what hour do you start?

[Hibiki, please do not reschedule an entire week for Haru's sake! She might actually be impressed and humbled at the same time.

Though hearing him say he would help the entire week is a nice relief.]

Thank you, Hibiki-kun. You have no idea what a help this will be for me.

[She stretches a little.]

I rise at six for breakfast and tea and I start out in the mansion garden around seven. The forest edge garden needs attention to... but that one is more of a personal project.

[ Haru won't be impressed and humbled if she doesn't know about it... 👀 ]

You're welcome, Haru-san. Your knowledge on plants is impressive, so maybe even someone who has no experience in gardening will learn something from you. Besides, who knows if it's not my only chance to tend to a garden.

[ Hibiki doubts that he'll have enough time for that once they'll be sent back home. ]

Around seven sounds perfect. I'll prepare boxed lunch for us, too. [ He's curious about what she's said but waits for a while with asking this question. ] A personal project?

[HIBIKI NO.]

Oh? Are you sure you won't need any assistance in setting up the lunches or anything? I don't mind helping!

[Hibiki and Haru have a very Please Let Me Help kind of relationship, and Haru finds it pretty entertaining.]

[ How is he supposed to say no when Haru's so eager to help!? At the same time, Hibiki tries to keep in mind that she'll be working really hard for the next few days. ]

We could prepare them together every two days, I suppose? That way you'll help me out and have some rest as well.

Very well, I suppose I will accept that.

[She's pleased with her plan set into place with Hibiki for the week.]

Hibiki-kun? If you could plant anything you wanted into the garden, what would it be?
