Alright, to anyone who was looking for cuttings or saplings from my apple tree, I have several ready and potted to bring home. Please come to [INSERT FARM HERE] at your earliest convenience if you still want them. Any spares will be planted here to continue the growth of the orchard.

Speaking of which, I've branched out- [Martel] into oranges as well. Thank you to everyone who's purchased one of my apples or anything else from my farm, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. Certainly not so quickly. Next on my list is peaches, so watch for those!

Anyway, aside from orchard-related news, I've been thinking about something. I've encountered quite a surprising amount of people with abilities and skills related to healing and medical treatment in general, several of us from very different disciplines. [From pure technology to magical healing hair, the valley's got it all, it seems.]

Yet, to the best of my knowledge there's no real organization among us. Allow me to be the first to advocate for everyone who has any sort of medical skill to come together, have a meeting, perhaps, where we can share information and let each other know who we are, where we're located, and how to get in contact with us. We certainly can't take over the hospital itself, but with a bit of effort, we might be able to head off many difficulties, and I'm sure we have much to learn from each other.

That's all for the moment! Thank you all for listening, and remember to come by as soon as you can if you're looking for an apple sapling!

Your parents were merchants, then?

[gatescostmoney]

[ Sasuke will admit that he did not see assumption coming. ]

Not exactly. I'm a ninja. We're hired for our services.

[loving_goddess]

Oh! I should see if I can introduce you to Miss Fujibayashi.

[Just... casually accepts that. Ninjas are kind of a fact of life where she comes from, rare but she knows of a few.]

[gatescostmoney]

Miss Fujibayashi, huh. I'd appreciate that.

[ It'd be nice to hang with someone who knows the ninja life. He's been hanging around a samurai far too much lately. ]

[loving_goddess]

As it happens, she did arrive just recently. Serendipitous, no?

[gatescostmoney]

Yeah. By the way, she's not a Iga ninja, is she?

[ Because Iga ninja are losers. Koga ninja are the best ones. ]

[loving_goddess]

I'm... not entirely certain that's a thing in my world.

[She knows ninja exist and she knows Sheena's one. Beyond that, not exactly her wheelhouse.]

What exactly is an Iga ninja?

[gatescostmoney]

It has to do with where and what school a ninja's from. I'm a Koga ninja. Iga ninja are kinda our rivals in a way.

[loving_goddess]

Well... she's not from your world, she's from mine. So I can basically tell you with entire certainty that she's neither.

[gatescostmoney]

[ So... no Koga or Iga in her world, but there are ninja. That is... interesting. ]

Huh, you don't say. I wonder what different skills a third ninja school has.

[loving_goddess]

Well, I know she fights largely with specialized paper seals infused with elemental powers. Does that help?

[gatescostmoney]

It does. We could teach each other a lot.

[ Or not teach each other. Ninja can be secretive like that if the mood takes them. ]

[loving_goddess]

That sounds lovely. Just as I hope to learn from my fellow healers, and teach them what I can.

[gatescostmoney]

I know there's a guy who can cure a person's mute voice here. I think his name is Silas.

[ They've never met, but Sasuke knows the person he healed. ]

[loving_goddess]

Oh, now that is very impressive. I've never actually met someone who can restore something like that.

[gatescostmoney]

Maybe you'll get lucky, and he'll see this.

[loving_goddess]

That was the point of making a post like this, after all! If he doesn't respond, I suppose I'll just have to see if I can track him down.

[gatescostmoney]

Let me know if all the healers decide to get a clinic of their own. It'd be useful info.

[ Says the guy who'd probably never willingly step in one. ]

[loving_goddess]

[They'll drag him in if they have to.]

That's information I will definitely be sharing as soon as it's pertinent, never fear. I'm just hoping we can all get together fairly soon to make it happen.

[gatescostmoney]

[ He doesn't wanna! He'll treat his own injuries! ]

I should've figured. You have plans for everything, don'tcha?

[loving_goddess]

[That's not recommended even for a trained healer!]

Well, I don't have a plan as to where we're actually going to set this all up... or how to convince anyone to come who might be resistant, or just doesn't check their messages very often.

[gatescostmoney]

[ He does a good enough job! He has the scars to prove it! ]

It's still more than others have around here. Some are content to wait until they're told to do something.

[loving_goddess]

[Maybe if he trusted the professionals he would have less scars.]

I've never had that as an option, really. I'm almost jealous of those who have.

[gatescostmoney]

[ ... W-Well, he already has a lot of scars, so why start now?! ]

It's not all that it's cracked up to be. Do your own thing.

[loving_goddess]

[It's never too late to start taking proper care of yourself!]

Oh, I probably wouldn't actually be able to convince myself to do that even if I'd had it as a choice. It's just not in my nature.
