[The video turns on and Yuki is seen with his back to quite a few clutches of tomatoes in baskets and there are more than a few bushels of strawberries as well. Shigure is heard barking somewhere nearby after a moment or two of silence. And that makes Yuki speak up.]

I seem to have a lot of these tomatoes and strawberries this year. I guess I didn't realize that I had planted that many. So I have plenty to give away if anyone needs them.

Wonderful. I will let you know.

Oh, maybe we can try and make jam.

[areasontohope]

Jam sounds good, I'll look forward to learning it.

[kree_soldieress]

Perhaps you should come by. I will find the books on it in the library, and we can learn together!

[areasontohope]

[He smiled.]

I can do that.

[kree_soldieress]

Good. I will make a snack basket!

[areasontohope]

[Yuki laughed]

That sounds like fun.

[kree_soldieress]

Wonderful! Then I shall go buy a basket. I love buying baskets.

[areasontohope]

How..many do you have?

[kree_soldieress]

Seven!

[areasontohope]

[That had him pause.]

Do you use all of those at the same time?

[kree_soldieress]

Oh, no. Of course not.

[areasontohope]

So you must have them for shopping then, right?

[kree_soldieress]

Oh, for that and other things. I like the way they can be used to make things beautiful in arrangements at home.

[areasontohope]

[Cue the confusion.]

How do shopping bags make arrangements?

[kree_soldieress]

Baskets are pretty when they are at home, and useful when they are outside while I shop.

[areasontohope]

So you make arrangements with baskets?

[He's curious.]

[kree_soldieress]

Of course you can. You can put things like fruit in there as pretty decorations. Or pine cones.

[areasontohope]

I'll have to look into that. I've seen something like that when the farmers have their fruit stands or whatever. But I never really thought about it much for regular decoration.

[kree_soldieress]

They are nice decorations. The cones can be sprayed with stuff like candle makers use and they give it off so sweetly.

[areasontohope]

Candle makers?

[This was all so new to him.]

[kree_soldieress]

Indeed. They have little bottles of scents that go into the candles to make them smell good.

[areasontohope]

Scents that go into the candles? Like oils?

[kree_soldieress]

Yes! Oils!

[areasontohope]

And you've made some of these you said?

[kree_soldieress]

I have had candles made, not oils.
