While A had been learning a great deal about plants, there had been significant detours into their culinary and (thanks to Kurama) defensive uses. These were all fine and wonderful things, things A felt the better for knowing, but it had not been his original purpose, after all. It was the medicinal uses of plants that had been his initial focus, and that his sensei was still teaching him.

And while it was still winter, it would not remain so. There were things that were to be considered, and he sent a note to Kusuriyuri to get his instruction on the matter.


Sensei,

Apart from what is in the greenhouse and what I have planted in the mangosteen grove, are there any plants you think I should add to the garden this spring? I thought perhaps some might benefit from a more natural environment.

A

Kusuriyuri considered a long moment, running through his mind the plants that he knew and the ones he knew A had in his gardens and in the grove. There were few that he could think of that A did not have.

Deshi,

Perhaps ginko and astragalus and dong quai would be beneficial to study now.

As he had had time to recover from the surprise when they'd returned to Hogwarts, including a completely handwaved discussion between him and Yukimura to ensure the samurai was well, and his own studying had been delayed thus far and could be delayed more, if needed, Kusuriyuri replied,

Deshi,

When best suits you.

On his way out the door, Kusuriyuri was stopped by the small, demanding form of Boukensha. The kitten-sized cat looked up at him and mewed, sitting back on his haunches and raising his paws to be picked up. He tilted his head at the cat and Boukensha began rubbing against his legs. He sighed, a long suffering sound and Boukensha began to purr, his victory assured and granted when Kusuriyuri reached down to pick him up.

With the cat on his shoulder, Kusuriyuri walked to A's garden quickly, not caring to linger in the cold.

"This one was not permitted to leave without him," Kusuriyuri replied dryly. "It may be that he wishes this one to feel guilty for leaving him." He gave a wry smile. "This one is grateful for Deshi's care of Boukensha and Belophoebe," he said, bowing as much as the kitten on his shoulder allowed him. He reached up to pet Boukensha and the kitten trapped his fingers and nibbled on them, a demand to be put down. "It seems this one is just a palanquin," he said solemnly as he lifted the kitten down low enough for him to jump easily to the ground.

Boukensha rubbed against Kusuriyuri's leg in a carefully careless gesture as he made his way over to the pots of catnip.

"He was quick enough to return, though. This one hopes he and Belophoebe did not cause Deshi concern by returning on their own. Much occurred at the time of our return or we would have informed Deshi that they had returned to us."

There was something in the way A spoke River's name that caused Kusuriyuri to ask, "All is well between Deshi and River?"

"Is that so?" Kusuriyuri asked, his question carrying more to it than just the words. He noted the extra giddiness and it was a relatively simple task to deduce what had probably happened.

"Of course," Kusuriyuri said solemnly, nodding. It was amusing to watch A try to figure out just how much he knew. "And, that is all you had?" he asked, still solemn.

"It sounds a most pleasing meal," Kusuriyuri replied. "Though, should this one worry over the color that still rests on Deshi's cheeks?" he asked, his tone completely solemn as his mouth began to rebel at being held in such a serious expression.

"It is roses that make deshi blush so?" Kusuriyuri asked, both amused and feigning surprise. "Deshi is more besotted with his plants than Shirogitsune?"

"Truly? I should ask about that." Though, Kurama did keep their rooms pleasantly scented. "And, yet, that does not give reason for that coloring. Is Deshi not well?"

Date: 2010-02-28 04:04 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] edomedpeddler.livejournal.com
"Then, perhaps Deshi should rest, if that is the only reason for the flush on his cheeks." While the tone of voice managed to remain solemn, the corners of his mouth were starting to creep upwards.

"If Deshi will not speak, then he should rest," Kusuriyuri said, reaching over to lead A to one of the stools.

"This one would think that all went well and that Deshi was pleased. Was River pleased?" he asked gently.
