yes! is tradition in i’s home to make porridge name is seven herb porridge seven good medicine herbs for eating seven days after new year time for good health in all year i want share good health with LIEM so will you please eat? just small amount is okay!
[it’s a lie!!!!! Liem she is so sorry!!!! its for your own good!!!!]
[She wants to invite him over for... porridge? He's not remotely too good for hot cereal, but this is definitely one of the stranger things Konoha has told him about her world. Still, it isn't as though Konoha would just go onto the network and lie, so...]
It's nice of you to think of me. Is it a human tradition, or a jinba one?
[of course she wouldn’t please don’t mind the sweat on her palms]
yes it is! this is human tradition from village i gather herb with mother many times then by self when mother too old to do easily now i grow here with EMERALD
[she can’t take this she’s going to have to make nanakusagayu too…]
mountain jinba has no calendar like human so no new year tradition just for end or start of season
[He's not sure whether to think that she just especially enjoys his company, or that of her friends, she's concerned about his health specifically. But he knows for a fact that Konoha has other close friends she could be having lunch with, so unfortunately he thinks it might be the latter.]
Lunch time is fine. Maybe I'll bring something regardless. I've been trying some new tea blends recently that you might enjoy.
[oh… no… she should have expected he would ask!!!! she had so many people over for the holiday party… what if it looks like she didn’t care about their health???
quick she needs
an excuse that he won’t question…]
is i did not wish to say so direct but there was something i was hoping only LIEM would help with that would not be proper if others see
[Hmmmmm. Okay... Did she not say anything because she was embarrassed? Something isn't adding up about this. This kind of feels like the setup for an attempt at a seduction, but he's certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that couldn't be the case, so he's pretty flummoxed about where this is going.]
[This is still a weird conversation to be having, and Liem can't begin to fathom what kind of embarrassing thing she has to ask of him that she would be thinking about days in advance, but he supposes it isn't really that important. In the end...]
