[h3]*Yingmei Okudaira*[/h3] [@Xaltwind][@CitrusArms] [hr] "It'd need to be some more...mountainous area? At least, most of the rice fields back home were on hilly terraces called paddy's. Rice likes a lot of water in the initial stages, but can't thrive if submerged all the time so you need to either drain the field or replant the seeds elsewhere. Its a loooot of work normally." Yingmei seemed happy enough to talk about the plants and her home as she'd walk back to the village square, holding Miss Clucky in her arms. "Its one of the reasons we relied on the Priestess...she'd pray and dance for the blessing of the divine and they'd cause the crops to grow with no issue. At least, thats how its supposed to be..." She'd fall silent, though If niara wanted to continue she'd probably be cut off. As they neared the village center, she could hear something of a commotion? Ah. Akitsugu was angry about something, it looked like? Come to think of it he looked pretty...intimidating like that. "Erm...h-hello...? Did something...happen...?" She wasn't confident her voice would be heard, but she'd try anyways.
