Sinking Seeds

Ignoring the gentle itch of the leaves as he finishes gathering just enough, Jiro lifts his head to glance around. He notices Ellara hovering near Asahi and he worries for a moment until he sees that they are inspecting a recently harvested yarrow plant. Poor plant, he thinks to himself as he moves away from the comfrey stalk and back over to the rows of garlic they had planted.

At first, he watches Ellara for a moment as she places the nettle upon a smooth stone. He notices how she works and then looks up to speak to them. Jiro is used to the variety of tools available within Tojo-Kai so this would be his first time he would have to find something out in the wild. Thankfully there would be a few flat stones nearby that appeared to have once been a short wall around the outskirts of the garden.

Placing his bundle down, he double checks that Asahi is doing okay before finding a rock to use for the smashing part. "Asahi, let me know if you need help," Jiro speaks to his sister in Nihongo before realizing that Ellara wouldn't understand them. His ears perk up, slightly embarrassed as he pauses in his search for a rock. "Oh, er, I was just letting her know to let me know if she needs help," he called out to Ellara with a wag of his tail before picking up a rock and taking it over to his spot. Once he's comfortable in the soft grass and dirt, he takes the rock between his paws and begins to methodically and meticulously smash the leaves.
