[Nami's had quite enough of sleeping. It's kind of disconcerting to be told it's now September, and it doesn't help that she's spent the time since Ling's rude wake-up call still sleeping most of her day away. So tired, all the time. Prone to falling asleep mid-shower, and that is annoying, to say the least.

Oh, well. A week has gone past and she can finally get through most of the day with no problems, so Nami takes advantage of the fact that there is no Chopper to tell her otherwise (and no Katara or Law at the house at the time) to sneak up to the orchard and see how it's fared in her near-two-month absence.

...huh. Been hot lately, she sees. And a lot less mikan up here than she was expecting. Nothing too alarming, and the place seems okay otherwise, pinwheels and all. Someone even fixed her cottage door, lookit that.

Welp. Observant villagers might see the low-lying rainclouds to the northeast of the village, a tiny little storm that barely covers an acre. It's too hot today anyway, may as well take advantage of the fact that she can cheat.]

[Voice]

Thanks, whoever fixed my door. Did you take some of the fruit as payment or should I blame someone else for that?

[Tell her what she's missed, Luceti.]

Up to the orchard! [Yes, that one that's half an hour away. Nami is shameless.] I can promise cooler weather up here, at least.

[...Wow.]

Theeeen you'll have to give me an hour or so.

I'm sure I can manage to wait that long. Do let me know if you change your mind, though.

Oh no, I'm pretty committed to this bit by now.

Then I'll see you very soon. I'll keep the rain going! [Yep. See you in a bit, Masaomi.]

[But yeah like he said give him an hour. But he'll be there, as promised, with a backpack on his back and... riding on Linda's Magnet Rise. Yeah this is a pain but oh well]

[At least he'll find the orchard noticeably cooler, though the clouds above are starting to clear away. Nami herself is kicking back on the small porch of the cottage and admiring the view. You'd be amazed at how long she can stare at mikan for.

And then her view suddenly includes a wild Masaomi. Fancy that; he came all this way after all.]

Up here!

Yeeeees, ma'am~ [With his Pikachu using her power to make magnetic fields, the two are actually floating - though it's more clear as they get closer, particularly because Masaomi is upside down in the air by the time they reach the porch. And there's a faint little humming sound before he waves his arms to right himself and Linda releases them so he can touch down]

[...huh, that's new. Nami cranes her head to the left while he's upside down, straightening again when he does.]

That looks like a fun way to travel.

You get vertigo the first few times. You're riding on magnetic waves and all.

[he's no scientist, but he assumes that it is Bad. He wonders if Nami knows why]

Oh, is that what you're doing? [She peers with more curiosity at Linda.] Sit down for a bit, then. Does Linda eat anything in particular?

She likes apples, but she can eat any fruit, really.

[Surprisingly, she's not that much of a carnivore. As for him... he's not that much vertigoed, he's long since used to it. Buuut. He'll still sit, depositing the case of red bull next to him]

Well, she's currently surrounded by fruit. [She lifts a mikan from the basket close by, holding it up with a headtilt at Linda. She'll offer it if Linda seems even halfway interested. That done, Nami peers at the case with curiosity.]

So this is the infamous Red Bull?

[Linda holds out her hand. Those things from the hospital, right? Okay, then ...! she'll expect it gosh.

As for Masaomi:]

That's the stuff, yep.

[She palms off the mikan to Linda.] Well, let's try it out then.

Alright, then, Nami-chan.

[Wink and he goes to lean against the wall here. Linda will start working on the mikan]

[What? You mean she has to get her own can? Rude, man. But after a mock pout, she digs into the case and retrieves one of them herself.] You having one?

Oooooh, I brought it all for you. Is that to say I get to share a drink with a voluptuous woman such as yourself?

[With an eyebrow arch.

...But he holds out his hand]

It'd be heartless of me to deny you after you came all this way. [She drops a can in his hand.] Of course, if this tastes horrific I'm holding you personally responsible.

Oh, that's just harsh, Nami-chan. [He takes the can though, and clips it open. Waiting for hers, really, but.]

[She clips her own open and takes a whiff, wrinkling her nose briefly at the fizziness. ...huh. Smells kinda like cranberries.

Welp.] Cheers. [She mock toasts him and then takes a large mouthful.

...by the look on her face she's not...entirely sure what to think.]

Cheers, hooo! [Siiiip. And it is still as weird as ever. Heeeeng]

People actually drink this for fun? Or is it like alcohol?

[She takes another sip.]

Mmmm, depends who you ask. I know some people mix it with things, which I'm more in the habit of.

Ah! That makes more sense. What kind of things?
