today is one of the few days his father has taken his younger brother out from his shadow. ike takes advantage of this by roaming away from the farm and ventures about. lately, he's been a little stressed. an important cow came down sick not long ago, but only recently have they gotten better. he has been nothing but thankful for the strength of the cow, along with the girl he just happen to meet that one day. he thinks back on how it was great she happen to be in the area, and when he looks up from his feet (his eyes seem to find them whenever he's thinking) he sees a familiar head of black hair.
he calls out to the person, hoping it's the right person.

she doesn't have a home, now, but she'd like to feel the comforts of one. she is surrounding herself with reminders, and it's a warm cloak of nostalgia. she'll need to step out eventually, but for now she's watching the children shrieking and playing, smelling the brew of a meaty broth, and feeling her heart tear like it's trying to sink and rise all at once.
she turns at the sound of her name, a little uneasiness that washes away when she sees who it is. grinning, she stops and waits for him to catch up and they fall into step. "what brings you here?" she says, caught slightly off-guard in her reminiscing.

"not much really," he says with a smile. "i'm taking a break."
though he's not really taking a break, he's escaped in a sense. escaped from the farm, his parents' wandering eyes and his siblings. he wonders if big brother normally feel like this, he chalks up his thoughts to normal big brother behavior and moves on in his mind. "what about you?"

she shrugs off the longing and forces her gaze straight ahead, then back to ike. "oh, just out for a walk." the part of her that writhes and snarls, tucked away beneath her skin, makes these casual words feel heavy, clumsy as lies. a few pebbles are kicked by their steps, rolling and slipping between the boards below.
everything is warm in the glow of the hour before sundown, and warmer still by contrast. her fingers clutch at her robe and she has to remind herself to relax. itha is her own, for now.
"how's the farm?"

"do you mind if i join you on your walk?" ike asks.
two is better than one he thinks, and hanging out with itha is better than wandering around by himself. if it was just him, he would go home after not too long because of boredom. walking by yourself only gives so much pleasure after all. he finds when he's alone, anything and everything eventually melts into fear, and sometimes paranoia. he hasn't figured out a reason why yet though...
ike perks up at the mention of the farm, "it's good, well, better than it was a while back. your magical stuff really helped us out, i owe you one, big time." he finishes the sentence with a good-natured smile. he said 'magical stuff' less as a literal thing and more as a vague term to describe something he didn't quite understand.
then again, there is a lot he doesn't understand and more he doesn't even know about.

"not at all." she beams. she'll enjoy the company. it's few and far between, and itha was not raised to live with such loose connections. she was raised to know others intimately and indefinitely. even these small familiarities, this continuity, puts her at ease.
"glad to hear it." magical stuff - she laughs. "but it's more of an art. or a science." she admits - her magic cannot heal, her magic is gruesome and savage. "anyone can do it, really."
"you just have to know how to do it - when to harvest, for example."

ike smiles. he's thankful to have a friend like itha in this moment. why? why is the exact question he wonders himself, but he figures he'll figure out why at a later time. nothing comes to him in the moment, everything comes to him after it's passed.
ike laughs at her words, "well... i don't really get either of those things so it's still pretty magical. maybe you could teach me. teach me the, uh, science... behind your magic?"

she looks a little surprised in his interest. but not displeased - she likes the man, he's earnest and good (and oh so mortal). "yeah," she grins. "i could always use some help." part of her feels a little excited at the prospect. there isn't always time enough to gather and mix and brew, there are too many accommodations to be made when she can't work at night.
