Fourth Floor Common Room, Monday Afternoon

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Her room was almost stifling at the moment, with Hoshi-san so busy reading, and Yei making a (lovable) pest of herself and demanding to be let out of the room.

Hinata had, eventually, complied rather reluctantly--the weekend had not been a good one for her all things considered--and gently scooped up her kitten and brought her down to the common room.

Yei? Was ecstatic. Hinata was... decidedly less comfortable about the whole idea, and decided that, at the very least, she could make herself useful by cooking rice and vegetables in the case of anyone coming in.

[Open, of course!]

"S-Shino's family h-has a pact with t-them," she explained. "A-And t-this allows t-them to communicate f-freely, though I d-don't understand the s-specifics."

"Wow." He thought about that for a moment. "Cool! I can't do anything like that. I fly ships in my world's military. And I know how to moisture farm."

"M-Moisture farm?" Hinata asked, curiously. The flying was interesting, but she hadn't heard, at all, of that sort of farming.

"Well, Tatooine's a desert," he explained. "A very very barren desert. So, moisture farming's exactly what it sounds like. People farm moisture and use it for crops and sell it."

"Is i-it difficult?"

"Sometimes," he said. "We don't get a lot of rainfall on Tatooine so what we do get is in high value whenever it comes."

That got another nod. "It m-must be s-stressful at t-times," she ventured. "If t-there's even l-less rain t-than normal?"

"Yeah, those aren't fun," he said and winced. "It means food gets tight, money gets tight and we have to take trips elsewhere to trade."
