"At least for two hours at a time."

She makes an exaggerated groan. "I'm never going to get grandkids at this rate. Everywhere I turn it's 'oh mommy, I have trust issues' and all that crap. I'm going to be chasing scamps around in a wheelchair."

Zouichi takes the posture of someone deep in thought. "Well, have you turned on the guilt? You know, 'I'm not getting any younger, I want to see my grandchildren before I die'...?"

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"Filial guilt is just part of a balanced breakfast, you know. Of course I've tried it. What I need to do is find some wood nymphs to make love potions and sprinkle it on his eyes when he's sleeping."

He laughs. "Well, whatever happened to that lovely pink-haired ninja that seemed to be getting along with him so well? I haven't seen Sakura around in a while."

"I don't know. She probably got tired of his bad jokes. I should tell her to try being related to him," she says, but she's smiling. As much as she prods Marco there's still a large part of her that's content to pretend he's young for as long as she can. A serious relationship might wreck that juvenile image.

"It was his jokes that drove her off? Not his fashion sense?" Zouichi is not above teasing Eva back a little now. And he'd seen those purple jeans. He made an exaggerated show of suppressing a shudder.

"It could easily be the smell! I don't know if you've been around his bedroom, but it has some memorable aromas seeping into the hall." She's always enjoyed Zouchi's teasing. He always seems aware of what territory is alright and what isn't.

"I thank my lucky stars every day that the Inn is as far as it is from the Salazar Residence," Zouichi says, solemnly. "Not, of course, that I don't enjoy the occasional visit with its matriarch."

"Speaking of which, do you have any new projects going on right now? You always seem to have a few up your sleeve."

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"The matriarch enjoys the visit. The matriarch finds other gardeners rather pleasant."

She perks up. "Oh! I'm going to renovate that dilapidated Shire strip down on the West Edge into a park, with places dedicated to giving people with unorthodox religions beautiful, suitable places to practice. We have a few people onboard who can't find places to worship on Religion Row and I thought it would be nice to be inclusive."

Besides, building temples and shrines would totally keep her occupied. "Could I wrangle you into helping?"

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

He bows. "Could the matriarch use some aloe vera? This gardener took care of his houseplant a little too well, and was rewarded with far too many baby aloe plants." Those things grew like crazy, too.

"And sure. Did you get someone to draw up plans for you, or are you just at the clearing stage?" Zouichi keeps secretly hoping someone will let him use the coil rifle to clear out debris. It never happens.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"The matriarch could always use some aloe vera. I hear it's good on scars, although, you know, a little late on that one," she says with a self-deprecating grin and a wafting hand over some of the marks around her neck.

"I'm just at the clearing stage so far. You're free to help me destroy some of the wreckage over there. I could stand to destroy something." She winks at Zouichi, knowing he'll probably be eager to help her out.

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

"Aha, finally. Someone to foist them off on." He's glad Eva can joke about her scars, even if it's partially out of necessity -- some of them, like the ones on her neck, simply can't be hidden without obvious means.

Zouichi smiles; he's always up for making more things explode. "My favorite part of any project. You know me too well. So, who else have you roped into helping?"

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"As long as you don't charge me shipping. Consider the aloe vera payment for me helping you with those petals when the time comes."

Ah, a rare Zouichi smile. Eva feels like she's one of the special people who can get that out of him on a regular basis. "So far just Kang, and he's just agreed to do heavy lifting. Personally, I'm excited by the idea of just taking a shovel to that place once we've leveled it."

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

"Shipping? Are you telling me I could have gotten someone else to deliver all those heavy plants?" But if Eva was going to take some off his hands, he wasn't complaining.

Zouichi's smile gives the target a +5 boost to Feeling Like You Really Matter. Anyway, he's been giving out a little more of them lately.

"Ah, I see. Well, I'm sure more people will jump to it when they hear the famed Salazar whip crack." He never really warmed up to Kang the way he did to Eva. But Eva likes him.

"A shovel? At your age?"

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"Oh, what, is it too heavy for you?" She playfully pushes his shoulder. She's aware of his aloofness around Kang, but doesn't much care. It's not her job to convince people to like each other, and the two of them still seem to be able to work together fine. "Yes, at my age. I bet you don't even know what that age is, since I'm so spry and youthful."

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

"Way too heavy. I'm getting old, you know."

He pretends to mull the question over. "You know, come to think of it, I don't think I do. I thought you told me you were forever 29. Did you change your mind?"

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"You're looking good for your age, then. Practically like a two year-old." She winks. "I suppose cutting by more than half is a little ridiculous, but I'm 48. I just look 29. Forever."

/end, I guess?

"Well, someday you'll have to tell me your secret."
