Vash.
I need your help.

( it's a desperate cry for help, really, considering he's asking at all. )

You're much more well-acquainted with Cain than I am.
What sort of things does he like?

( is he currently wandering around the markets trying to think of something himself because cain gave him a potted plant and he can't not give him something in return?

yes.

shut up. )

[bountyfull]

Cain...?
You want to give Cain a gift?

[ He doesn't mean this to sound the way that it probably does, but well. He is kind of surprised. He does, however actually sit back and think about it. ]

He likes to garden, and he's a vegetarian.
I think he must like to read, but I'm more unsure about that.

[ he pauses in his messages, thinking. ]

We could set up a plot outside the castle for him to grow things.

( look, it's surprising to him too, all right? he's so unused to thinking like this in the slightest that of course he's going to come running to you for any measure of advice. you have friends. he doesn't know how to handle the idea of them. )

He gave me something.
I thought it only considerate to return the gesture.

( he gets that last message and contemplates it for a moment, all kinds of thoughts whirling around in his head until he can manage to grab hold of a couple of keep them in one place. )

He did say he would teach me.
How to garden, that is.
A specified place to do it might be beneficial for everyone involved.

[bountyfull]

[ Cain gave his brother a gift? That makes something warm settle in his stomach and he grins at his device. ]

Did he? That sounds like him.
It's cold so things probably can't grow outside right now, but...
Getting a layout figured out would be a good first step.

[ He thinks for a minute. ]

We can invite him to join us, too.

[scads]

( it's just as surprising to you as it is him -- maybe more so on his end, really, because you know him better -- but it's a step in the right direction for making more friends like you want him to, isn't it? )

Wouldn't that ruin the surprise?

( having him join in, that is, but that doesn't mean he's opposed to the idea. he likes it, but he also likes the idea of the whole thing catching him off-guard. dilemma. )

It wouldn't do to have something in mind where he doesn't want it, though.
He'd probably enjoy having a hand in where his plot goes, after all.
