Kurama was typically the first to rise in the morning, and though he might not surface from his room right away when Hiei visited, this morning he had set upon a long overdue project. While the situation with the fire apparition had been gradually improving in a rather delinear fashion, he still held some tension just being around him.
Nature helped, the scent of the garden, the evidence of his work coming together - even if he'd still hesitated to do much more with it than the few seeds nurtured to life upon his initial return. Of course, there was more than the flora to worry about out here. It was probably a good thing he hadn't gotten too carried away with replanting as the day's work focused instead on digging up and clearing out what was already there. With the more hands-on approach he'd picked up while human.
The underground network of wires probably didn't need replacing, but it seemed wise to have the optimal connection as far away from civilization as they were, and it gave him a job to focus on that wasn't pestering their guest. A job that would help him in the long run, to work out how he was planning to fit into this new life he'd inadvertently signed up for.
At least, that's what he'd told himself before setting foot outside, but now that he was out there - tools and equipment at the ready nearby - the fox had put the work off, instead simply enjoying the tranquil quiet of the space that basically amounted to his sanctuary there. Thinking and observing, as he had a tendency of doing.
Which means it's much later than he anticipated being out there, when he's still pulling weeds and clearing the area before he can even think about the next part of the project. All of it had really been more about finding a distraction to occupy his time than anything else though, hadn't it?
