Welcome back, Sanada, Oshitari-kun #1, and Oshitari-kun #2. It's nice to see you all in one piece. The branch you picked is quite aesthetically pleasing. I wonder if it is still available to draw. The picture does not do it justice.

Renji, I need a favor that requires your patience.

--
I'm happy you didn't kill either one of them, Genichirou. Did you manage to get that extra branch? You'll be happy to know Renji and I did train while you were gone much too long, by the way, I thought it was just supposed to be a week, but not as intensely.

Not really, no. I missed you. Genichirou had already gone to camp by that point, so it was fairly dull.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

At least it didn't take too much longer after that for us to come here.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Indeed, that was a comfort. I am still a little baffled by how we managed to be friends for so long without realizing that we were all demigods.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

Probably because the only thing I ever questioned, briefly at that, was why it stormed every time Genichirou was in a bad mood. Other than that, everything seemed perfectly normal to me.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

None of our powers were very visible, I agree. Still, it's a little bit of supreme irony.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

You weren't even impressed by the grounds at school? I'm wounded, Renji.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Of course I was impressed, however I didn't think they were supernatural in power. I just thought you were a good gardener.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

Forgiven, but I'm an excellent gardener.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Of course ...but do you ever wonder whether you'd still be good at something or whether you would even like that thing if it weren't for a godly affinity with it?

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

Hmm, do I think I'd still be good at gardening or art? Maybe I wouldn't be able to automatically ripen fruits and vegetables or make flowers bloom with a touch, but I think I'd have a green thumb. Art wise, I think I'd be the same since I got it from my dad.

I think you and Genichirou wouldn't have any issues. You're plenty intelligent without Athena's parentage and I know for a fact that Genichirou would still be ridiculous about physical training, Jupiter for a father or not.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Your father works at a plant nursery, doesn't he? I suppose you would still have the same interests and you would definitely know how to look after plants, so I don't think you would have a problem either.

My father was a scientist, but I wonder if I'd be so interested in knowledge if I wasn't gifted with a good memory. I also wonder whether Genichirou would still be as interested in physical training without that influence of Jupiter...

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

Volunteers at one. I doubt I'd have blue hair though and that would be disappointing.

I think you'd have a good memory regardless, Renji. The Sanadas are all about physical training. They run a dojo... Genichirou just wouldn't have the endurance.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Ahh, my mistake. But yes, we would look a little different, no doubt. That would be quite a shame.

I just wonder about motivation with Genichirou. If he couldn't see the dryads, would he be so interested? ...actually, no, the answer is that he probably would be. We would be fairly similar to ourselves without godly influence, I suppose. A comfort in some ways :)

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

You think? I think you and Genichirou would look the same. Either way, still aesthetically pleasing.

See? I told you so.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Genichirou does take after his mother's side, but I don't look remarkably like my father. It might be other family relatives on my father's side or it may be Athena. Who really knows? Genetics can be confusing.

You're usually right on these things.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

Maybe you take after the female side of your father's family... like Genichirou does.

I'm glad you agree.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen them in person, but I suppose I do look a little like my grandmother.

I'm sure you are.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

It's something then.

Quite pleased, Renji.
