[Hanekoma's grinning as casually as ever, but he looks a little flushed, and are those dark circles under his eyes?

That's definitely a drippy-looking nose. Maybe he shouldn't have been running around in short sleeves and sandals after all.]

Heyyyy! Had fun with your party?

I was just wonderin' if anybody out there's got tea leaves they're willin' ta trade. I prefer green, but I'll take black or herbal if that's what you've got.

[Thoughtful.] I can trade ya fresh eggs, meat, or --

[He turns the camera to display a half-finished tempera mural in black and white covering one wall of his room -- it's a boldly outlined forest of graffiti-style skyscrapers seen from above, dwindling down to tiny streets under a brilliant sky.] --we can work out a trade for some wall art.

[He pauses to stifle a hacking cough.] Speak up quick, just in case goin' out gets tricky again in a day or two!

Alright! I'll mix up a blend for you, then.

In the meantime, please get plenty of rest and, if you can get it, vitamin C. I know citrus fruits aren't in abundance here, especially this time of year, but if someone could help you find some tablets it would help a lot.

Bit cold here for most citrus, isn't it? I've got some fruit laid in still, though; that oughta do me.

[exarmatio]

Yeah. Though I'm not sure that most people here go after the nutritional supplements. They work just as well.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Eh, I guess they do, but it's not the same, ya know?

[Video]

[exarmatio]

Yeah. I suppose not.

I'll send some over here shortly? Where should I send it?

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Here ya go, one minute... [x,y]

[exarmatio]

Ah, thank you! If it's alright, I'll send it along with an ermine? I have a few things I'm working on, and I can't really leave the house myself.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Sounds good ta me. Thanks again - what do ya want in trade?

[Video | private]

[exarmatio]

Oh, no, I don't need anything, really! Consider this a gift! Besides, you look like you could use it a lot more than I could.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

You sure? Not that I'm turnin' the offer down if ya insist, but I can spare enough for a fair trade.

[Video | private]

[exarmatio]

No, I insist. It's a gift.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

In that case, thanks. I appreciate it. [He grins.]

You're very welcome, Hanekoma-san. I hope you feel better soon.

[And about a half hour later, there'll be an ermine at your door, complete with a little bag full of self-packaged tea sachets, combinations of both chamomile and mint.]

[Hanekoma'll take the tea and offer the ermine an ear-skritch (do weasels like that? He really doesn't have a clue) and a roasted rabbit leg, on the grounds that he is pretty sure they like meat and it's the only treat he's got on short notice.]
