i. [ Minato wakes himself up early in the morning with a sneeze— rather than the lingering sickness, his nose itches with pollen and he has to shuffle his feet to cross the room without stepping on the peaches that lie scattered all over the floor.
Why...
With a sigh, he pulls the sheets off his bed and starts to move all the fallen fruit onto it, careful not to let them bruise any more than they already have, and then tying it all up into a bundle. After, he lets Koromaru help by taking one edge corner of the knot in his mouth while Minato hangs onto the other end and they drag the fruit over to the kitchen. ]
I'm just... going to dump these peaches in here, so they don't go to waste.
[ Hopefully people will know how to use them up, but also- ]
...Can dogs eat peaches?
[ He will take advantage of anything to supplement his questionable dog food cooking skills while he's still learning, honestly. ]
ii. [ He was actually hoping it was the sea, a little more energy in his steps as he jogs up to the lakefront, but there's a distinct lack of salt in the air, silence where there should be gulls, and he slows when he reaches the edge.
It's pretty, but, still... Koromaru trots up after him, also avoiding the water but he barks when he's close enough and then runs out towards one of the ruins surrounding the lake. Somebody's feeling better, and it gladdens Minato to see that.
Koromaru barks again, waiting for him a short distance away next to one of the weathered stones. What is this? ]
Uh— yeah. It's, um. A rock.
[ Yeah, he has no idea what it is, Koro, sorry. ]
It's magic, though...? [ He raises a hand to touch his sternum, lets it hang there for a second before dropping his hand. ] Kinda feels like it.
iii. [ Eventually, he does gravitate back towards the lake, though, shivering at the cold water against bare skin as he wades in knee deep, trying to get used to it little by little as he inches his way in.
Koromaru will have none of that, bounding up behind him, taking a flying leap, and slamming his paws square into Minato's back and sending them both plunging into the water.
A second later, Koromaru's head pops up above the water's surface. Minato's does not. ]
