video; un: gonta; failed private??

[ It's summer, and here's an awkward torso shot of one very boofy jinba man in just a simple navy blue yukata with a white patterned obi. You can just barely see the bottom of his chin as he's speaking-- seems like he's speaking down to the communicator?? Clearly this dude hasn't really gotten used to handling this device despite being here for a full year.

He clears his throat. Maybe a little nervous. ]

If anyone of you know my wife, Konoha, don't tell her what I have to ask of you.

[ Clearing his throat again. ]

I'm in search of things for her. Gifts. Uh. Specifically jewelry. Jade. Something precious. Something... to... uh... let her know that she's important to me.

I don't do well in the realm of humans. Not even in this whole year I have been here. So, I would like to ask you for you help.

[ And he bows deeply to the communicator-- awkward, but very sincere. ]

Hello, Gonta. Konoha has said many things about you in the time she's been my student - it's a pleasure to meet you properly.

[He bows back, as is only polite.]

Do you know if her ears are pierced?

A pleasure to meet you as well. I'm glad to hear about it.

[ He nods. ]

Pierced...? Uh... no. I don't believe so.

I'm with Atsushi-san on the earrings. I think that's a perfect idea.

But you're talkin' like she ain't freakin' crazy about ya! Did, uh... did somethin' happen?

No no! Nothing happened! [ He clops backwards from the communicator in a bit of shock. ]

I just wanted to... um... do more for her.

[look! a small white rabbit face! who may look familiar since she stops by the farm to chat with Konoha on occasion.

anyway.]

Can't say I do "well in the realm of humans" either, but I do know the kind of gifts a female would like! What's the occasion or, what did you do that made her upset?

[there are like two major reasons for getting a lady jewelry when there isn't a holiday in sight as far as she knows.]

Nothing, really. Everything is fine. I just... wanted to do more.

Normally, I would suggest simply visiting a jeweler to pick out something she might like. However, given what she spoke of your distaste of such things, perhaps, I can bring the jewelers to you instead. Or would you prefer to try and craft something yourself?

[ He's fond of Konoha, and she deserves nice things. He'll do what he can to make that happen. ]

[ That's something interesting... ]

Is that possible? To have the jewelers come to the customer?

[ The jinba are ones that Wangji has talked to Xichen about, so they were people he valued. Xichen's cupped-hands bow in return is earnest. ]

My name is Lan Xichen, young master.

A while back, I was able to commission a hairpiece, [ the one Xichen is wearing is silver, but it gives some idea for what it looks like, ] made of white jade for my brother, and the craftsmanship was satisfactory. If you wish, I can direct you to the place. There is a selection of items there, or they could make someone from a custom design.

Would that suit your needs, or are you looking for more specific assistance?

[ Young master...? That was the first for Gonta. And it already makes him feel a little awkward and out of place. But he pays attention to the words after. And a hairpiece...? That sounds a lot more like something nice for Konoha, as a woman who always wears her hair up. ]

I like the sound of that. Where is this place?

{So this is her husband! He does look strong, but his kindness is unmistakable. Thranduil is fascinated with the Jinba and sorry that none live on Arda.}

Stones have different meanings. When you think of her, what traits do you love most?

[ Big big boofy muscles and build, but a stoic softness in his face! Or at least what you can see of it at this weird angle. ]

She... is bright. Warm... like the sun.

[ He nods. Maybe he could go on, but Gonta wasn't really a man of many words. And he felt that those words encapsulated his wife the most. ]

[ Ohhh Peter has been interested in meeting Konoha's husband for a while now. ]

Hello Jonta, I'm familiar with Konoha, my name is Peter Quill. I won't tell her but this post but are you sure she can't already see it?

She works with her hands so rings and bracelets might get dirty or even lost. A bracelet could be nice. Or, since she keeps her hair up, what about some sort of hairpin?

It's Gonta.

[ He corrects him a bit gruffly. ]

... what do you mean she can't already see it?

[ He'll address the whole choice of gift later but. Privacy settings? Protecting the post? He doesn't know it at all. ]

[ Gonta has most likely seen this pale visage around the farm, as Wen Ning pitches in whenever he can. He wouldn't normally respond to a post like this, but the idea of helping find Konoha a treasured gift brings him great joy. So he does his best to keep a reasonable distance from the screen, although he is probably still a bit too close. It's a work in progress. ]

We often gift... beautiful combs. The jade... can be set... inside.

[ No worries, Gonta himself is probably way too close to the screen, too. He barely uses this thing despite having been a year in this place! ]

Beautiful combs... I think that's certainly something my wife could use.

[ Yeah, he seems pretty set on hair accessories for her than anything else. ]

[ Guess who is quite pleased! ]

[ He's learning!! ]

Konoha is one of my friends. I can try to find something that would look nice on her.

I would... like to find something for her myself. But I wouldn't mind help. I'm not to sure of the first place to look, even with everyone's suggestions.

[Konoha's husband!!!!!!
Perne and Konoha have spoken about him more than once. It's a bit of a delight to get to speak with him for once.]

What kinds of things does she like to wear? Earrings or bracelets, mayhaps?

I've thought about it, and I believe a hairpiece would be the best thing to get her. We work with the land, so jewelry would tarnish easily. Though... a necklace could be nice, too.

not sure but these things were suggested i was told she deserved precious things

[ Gwenhwyfar simply smiles, wistfully, clutching her hands together. How romantic! Cute, even. But men are weird about being called "cute", even she knows that. ]

The feeling is mutual... [ She's long since retreated to the forests with Gawain's departure. ] Perhaps I'm a simple woman, but I would be happy with anything my husband gave me. All I want to know is that he loves me.

[ Somehow, the vote of reassurance from this woman makes Gonta feel better? All this time, he had been stressing out about dealing with the world of humans... about judging jewelry and finding what was best.

It's a relief to know that there was at least one other woman who... seemed to be on a similar wavelength as Konoha. ]

Uh... if you were to choose, would you prefer something grand or something useful?

We make a lot of things here in the farmstead. We're farmers.

Someone dear to her suggested I get her something. With precious stone. I think... she deserves that.
