Owl to A
A,

I believe it is time for us to consider the lessons I spoke to you about.
Please meet me in the mangosteen grove as soon as you are available.

-Kurama

Attached is a magnolia flower, the meaning of which is "newness, and a love for nature."

Owl to Kusuriyuri

Kusuriyuri,

I have invited A to the first lesson, I would appreciate your company and insight. We are meeting in the mangosteen grove, please come at your leisure.

-Kurama

Attached is a white chrysanthemum, the meaning of which is "truth."

"I was watering the trees when you made the dome, but it is very beautiful." A smiled. "The light is greenish from all the leaves. And I will work hard and not expect it to be easy. And it is the plants that are great. I only help them."

If anything, A handled the seed more delicately than he would an egg. He cradled it in his palm and stroked it very lightly with one fingertip.

Seeds had so much potential, in such a small space.

A listened closely, nodding to show he understood.

"Before it is anything else, the seed is a seed, and it will always be what its nature tells it to be."

"It is satisfying, to have planted a seed where I know it will grow," A said thoughtfully. "And it is the time for me to wait, and be patient, while the seed makes itself ready to be a plant."

A's eyes were half-closed as he sent encouragement to the seed. "I have only seen sunflowers in photographs," he said. "They do look strong and beautiful, cheerful and proud, with broad faces and bright petals."

Nodding, A lets his eyes close, trying to sense the seed's own energy as he visualizes a sunflower, trying to let it tell him what a sunflower is, picturing the heavy head, the vividly yellow petals, the thick green stem and broad leaves.

"I can, I can feel it." There was wonder in A's voice, but he fought to maintain his concentration. "I can feel it being alive."

Kusuriyuri watched, paying close attention. The channels that Kurama used were ones he could feel but not control or use. He could write wards to block them and maybe ones that would reinforce those channels, but to do as A was doing was beyond his skills. He was impressed that Kurama could coax such energy from his deshi.

The sight made A smile delightedly, and he sent a flicker of eagerness to the seed in his hand: See? That could be you. That will be you!

A looked at the little shoot in his hand, so green and proud and new.

"I think, I, I think I would like to see it grow, see it do the rest of its growing at its own pace."

A set the seed down very gently, not wanting to jostle it too much.

"I would," he told Kurama softly. "I have only seen sunflowers in photographs."

"It's beautiful," A said in awe. The fast-forward progression from seed to tall, proud plant made him gasp with wonder.

"But will it live as long?"

"Cut flowers are not as lovely," A said a little sadly. "They are not growing anymore, away from sun and soil. If they're not being used as food, or medicine, or to make dye or ink, or something like that... then, then I would not pick one."

A ripe fruit seemed like a better gift, to A, than a bouquet.
