Date & Time: July 16
Location: Civic Gardens
Characters: Keith Gandor and Ico
Summary: More gardening!
Warnings: None


[Once the plant was big enough, Ico moved it from the housings to the Civic Gardens. He planted it around the same place he used before. There it grew bigger until it blossomed. He waited patiently for the first fruit to ripen though he could no longer tell when the calyx grew over it. He wanted to peel it away but it was not his. It was for Keith.

It should be ripe, he assumed. Now he only had to find Keith. He saw him in the Gardens before so he hoped he would visit again.]

Comments

[hornedomen]

Yes, he comes here a lot too. We were looking through one of the rooms up there yesterday.

[So focused on his task, Ico did not look away from the dirt while digging. After he finished digging, he placed the cucumber seeds in the ground and he mounded the dirt on top of it. He wiped his hands on his new tunic.]

It was my fault. I made too much noise and he must have heard.

[silenceandcards]

[That confuses him. Was it a bad thing for Kano to have heard? Or was he talking about something else? Keith raises an eyebrow at Ico as he steps closer to hold out a handkerchief to him to use instead of his tunic.]

[hornedomen]

Thank you.

[He used the handkerchief to wipe the dirt from his hands. He was young and he did not think it inconsiderate to get it dirty.]

That man must have heard. He found us. Kano kept me safe. We ran away before he could hurt us.

[silenceandcards]

[He doesn't even have to. Keith wouldn't hand it to a kid with dirt all over his hands while expecting him to not get it dirty.]

... Why? [Why would he need to hurt you for just some noise? Unless he was one of those natives that disliked Transports...]

[hornedomen]

He looked drunk. And there was a really fat cat in the room. Maybe he was mad because I tried to pet it.

[silenceandcards]

... [In Keith's opinion, still not a good enough reason to scare anybody. He sighs and puts a hand on Ico's head to give him a pat. You take care of yourself now.]
