[immaturelycursed]

[these are the sounds of Shino flailing and screaming crawling somehow to the door and trying to climb on it.]

Don't do that! Stop, damn Genpachi!

[oni_san]

Now now, give me a moment and I'll clean up.

[He's shooing and herding the bugs out the window, shaking the bedding out to thoroughly dust it and scare off the rest of the bugs.]

Go light the fire. And careful of your ankle.

[immaturelycursed]

[no excuse him he's still flailing a little and considering going back outside, but once there seems to be less . . . everything . . . he wanders over and mutters.]

Like I know how . . .

[oni_san]

You've never lit a fire?

[Finishing with the bedding and checking under the bed frame before joining Shino. The cabin is now a bit dusty, but the open window will let it air as much as it can in this storm.]

[immaturelycursed]

Not really. I only know how to do it, but I've never done it myself.

[trying!! the stove is super old-fashioned so it might be hard.]

[oni_san]

[Genpachi will just take Shino's hands and guide him in fire making then, flint and steel isn't the easier to spark but it's doable.]

There, it's not so hard. How's your ankle?

[immaturelycursed]

[Shino is going to jump a little in surprise, not expecting to be touched, but he wants to learn and so he doesn't get his hands back, just trying to follow Genpachi's lead. but once the fire is ready he's pulling back.]

My ankle is fine.

[it's a bit swollen, but it's going to be difficult to notice with his boots.]

[oni_san]

[Genpachi doesn't do anything else, leaning back to give Shino a thoughtful look.]

At the very least warm up by the fire before you catch a cold. I'll bring in some more wood to dry.

[immaturelycursed]

I can't catch a cold.

[but he's staying near the fire, a bit tired after all that's happened so he's just carefully taking off his boots and easing himself out of the jacket-thing he always wears.]

You're going outside again?

[oni_san]

A little rain like this won't bother me.

[Offering a playful grin as he heads back out into what can only be called a raging gale now, rain sleeting almose horizontal. ]

[immaturelycursed]

And you're telling me to stay inside, show off.

[doesn't stop him, though, since he knows Genpachi is strong enough to handle that. he settles with closing the window and staying near the door despite what he was told about the warm.]

[oni_san]

[He laughs as he leaves. He's gone perhaps longer than he would be in normal weather, but returns soaked and carting a large armful of fallen branches. Pausing in the doorway at the sight of Shino.]

Shino...?

[immaturelycursed]

[Shino is sitting cross-legged on the ground, Murasame is napping on his head.]

Here is warm enough.

[oni_san]

It's not. And you're still soaked.

[Stripping his coat and shirt to lay them by the fire, and kicking his boots off as well before going over to lift Shino up, turn around and put him down closer to the stove.]

[immaturelycursed]

[protesting! but his ankle is properly swollen now so that's hard to hide and he stumbles a little. Murasame is waking up with a yelp and going by the fire.]

Hey, I can do it myself!

[oni_san]

And make your ankle worse?

[Kneeling in front of Shino. Hm, getting his boots off without hurting him is going to be tricky, but he tries.]

[immaturelycursed]

It’s not that bad.

[he’s already missing one boot, but he winces and lets Genpachi take off the rest.]

[oni_san]

[Lifting Shino's foot gently, examining the swelling.]

You shouldn't walk on this.

[immaturelycursed]

[shifts a little to look at it, too.]

Eh? It should be better by tomorrow.

[oni_san]

Keep off it until then.

[He gets up to check the sheets, patting the dust off them.]

You can wear these until your clothes dry. I'm afraid I din't bring anything.

[immaturelycursed]

I guess I don't have much of a choice, right now. I didn't bring anything either.

[he starts to ease out of the rest of his clothes, except for underwear, but he doesn't move from the ground.]

[oni_san]

[Draping the sheet over Shino and taking his wet clothes to lay out near the fire. Outside the storm is raging with flashes of lightning and thunder, howling winds, and the crash of falling trees.]

It's getting lively out there.

[immaturelycursed]

[sneezes because of the remaining dust in the sheet, but he shakes his head and curls it completely around himself, but he doesn't thank Genpachi!!!! also he almost jumps with the worst noises.]

It chose the worst time for it.

[oni_san]

Not much we can do now. I should have brought Megu, he could block the window from letting in drafts.

[Sitting next to the stove across from Shino.]

[immaturelycursed]

Ah. That's all that guy is useful for.

[relaxes a little, legs crossed.]

You should take off some of those clothes, too, you know.
