Can we find that real answer?

♥ Who: Shinji & Good Friends
♥ Where: Anywhere between the community gardens and your house!
♥ When: Last week of August/Achtom
♥ What: Special delivery \:V/
♥ Rating: PG, probably. Will update if someone decides to have a pottymouth or something.

A whole summer of work has been put into the community garden from Shinji has paid off, and left him with a number of watermelons grown from seeds he had received right at the start of the season. How amazing...! Truly amazing. It probably wouldn't be too much trouble for him to just take them all home and make them last for a little while just snacking on them, but there's gotta be a much better use of these fruits.

He spends a bit of time on any day where it isn't i n c r e d i b l y h o t in the garden, looking over the watermelons so that he can figure out which ones are nice and ripe. It isn't a particularly hard task, so it would be nice and easy for him to be pestered by a passerby...!

Once he's made his selections for the day, all that's left is to distribute them. For friends of his who he may have the contact information for, but not their address, Shinji will send out a text message,

'Can I ask where you live?'

But for the rest of the people he'd want to see, if he knows where their houses are, off he goes with at least one (1) melon in tow. Knock knock! Guess who's here for a surprise visit!!


[[OOC: Feel free to assume Friendship if Shinji and your character have a fairly positive thread history, but if you're unsure, you can easily get in touch with me via PM or over at sandshrew! If you wanna go with brackets or whatever instead I will match formats. Follow your dreams, friends.]]

[He cradles it carefully in both hands. It's probably a decent percentage of his size, but not enough that he has any trouble carrying it. Some instinctive part of him wants to put the entire melon in his mouth and go flying around like that, but he just smiles a tiny bit at the ridiculous thought.

Ah, Shinji had really wanted to make sure he got one . . . geez. The love thing had indeed been hyperbole, in his joking way, but as exaggerated as it is to frame it that way, it's still . . . some type of feeling. He weighs the melon in his hands.]

You're really too kind to me.

[He might normally say this differently. You're reeeeally too kind to me! ♥ But this time, he says it like this. There's the edge of a truthful statement in it.]

[If he hadn't been reasonably sure that Magolor would have been able to hold it on his own, Shinji probably would have offered to take it inside for him. That quickly closed door had given him the impression that going inside wasn't in the cards right now, though, so it's good that it worked out this way.

Just as much as letting that 'love' out there had been a surprise, so is the next thing Magolor has to say to him. He's been accused of being kind a few times now, but being too kind is definitely a different variety of complicated. Even so, he can't exactly pretend like he doesn't get why, not with the knowledge of the whole 'evil wizard' story under his belt. It still kind of knocks him off balance, so to speak, because he doesn't have a way to just believably brush that statement aside. He is, in fact, going out of his way to be kind, and how's he supposed to say whether or not Magolor feels like he deserves it.

. . . Like he thinks he might not deserve it, huh? Maybe it's just projection on his part, but he can't not wonder about that, now that the thought's floated through his mind.]

I've been trying to be a kinder person in general, [he says, with that same kind of deliberately truthful cut to his words,] so of course that would extend to you.
