[ Doan is really proving useful and generous, honestly. He may actually tell her where he lives at some point, once he's done being difficult so she doesn't think he likes her. ]
[ He follows her. He has no trouble keeping up since his legs are so much longer and keeps a side-by-side pace, though he doesn't know where she's going. He's good at keeping track of where others are going, at least, even if he makes efforts to look like he's not following. ]
[To the shops, Midorima! Or more like the markets. Something like this would be a bit more niche, so they'd need to go to specialty stores. There were talks of festivities, so she wonders if they could have any of that overlap.
She still quickens a little so he wouldn't have to slow down too much.]

I think demanding payment for something that is meant to be tradition would incur a curse. Do not worry, I will cover the costs and want nothing back.
[She says this so easily, but the tone of her voice isn't her doting over him. It's simply someone chooses to do what she wants.]

Let's go! We only have half of the seventh so, we'll need to hurry to get you your bamboo. This way.
[And she turns on her heel, waiting for him to follow.]

[ Midorima, unlike Sen, is thinking of a full-blown tree. He doesn't mind carrying around a 6' tree in a huge pot. ]
no subject
There is. Would you like a large tree?
[In which they just need to make a slight turn before the markets. She's still paying for it, no problem.
This boy sure goes all out.]

Very well. We turn a little in the next street. There is a nursery at the end of it.
no subject
Have you been there before?
no subject
And she nods!]
I have! I bought some of my own plants there, for my apartment.
no subject
[ ..Since she is helping him get one. ]
no subject
May I? I don't remember the last time I've done something like this. I never really visited my brother during this time before.
no subject
[ ...Japan, he assumes? If he wants to put one on he can too, but Midorima doesn't say it. ]
no subject
[So he guessed right.]
no subject
no subject
[Not to mention, Midorima, this is Japan, a country you want to represent in this sport.]
no subject
Maybe he'll make his wish for Japan's support to be for Shutoku. ]
no subject
Hopefully he'll get back to me soon and let us know if he can come over to make a wish! Regardless, I should introduce you two.
no subject
[ Briefly. ]

[Her device beeps and she gets a message back.]
He replied. He'll be happy to join.

We'll see how he goes! In the meantime...
[She gestures over to the nursery.]
We are here.
no subject
[ Nurseries are pretty challenging to hide from view, after all. ]
Come, let's find one quickly.
[ He's charging in... keep up Sen. ]
no subject
I'm coming!
[And now they're in, time to find the trees.]
Let's see, anything over there looks like it.
[She gestures over to their left.]
