[Moving to a new town that's still very alien to what he remembers of the world is very very intimidating. But the forest farm is calming even though it needs so much work. Farming is in his blood so it's much easier to simply start pulling weeds and breaking rocks, chopping the small logs and working to clear a small plot for himself. So much easier than talking to strangers and learning less familiar things in town.
It also leaves him time to think about his decision to come here. And to talk to the rat hidden in his hoodie's hood.]
Do think that Kyle and the others will be okay now? I mean now that they don't need to look after me anymore?
Is that really your question?
[Esme pauses at the return question whispered near his ear and then resumes pulling the weeds.]
I don't know...maybe not completely. I guess I just wonder if I made a rash decision by coming out here. I'm worried, even though it's so nice here.
Don't be. You heard the woman. You can go back. And I think they'll miss you. They seem attached. They like you.
[The reassurance is comforting and Esme smiles, straightening and rolling his shoulders to work out some stiffness before his slouches comfortably and turns around without noticing that he's got company to see him apparently talking to himself.]
You're right, as usual. We should call it a day.

[ She doesn't have her apron, since she's going about, but she tugs absently at her skirt in the same way she would the apron, adjusting something not there. ]
I can teach you how to cook for yourself too, if you're interested! It really isn't hard, and you know your tastes better than anyone.

[Learning to cook won't be that hard, it's mostly just that picking up cooking 400 years later isn't exactly just relearning to ride a bike.]
When would you like to start?
no subject
[ Chisa, weren't you headed home? Shhh, no, never mind that. ]
We're already here, though, so maybe starting with the cooking is better... ah, but our farm is kind of a mess... hm.
