I'm really bad at coming up with scenarios help me out here/choose your own Genpachi adventure.

Otherwise default he just bumped into you.

[immaturelycursed]

It'll heal itself soon enough, you know.

[because he had to point it out anyway. Shino is immediately wary because INSECTS!!! but the cabin even seems to be lacking in that area too. It's a fairly empty one except for a bed with a dusty blanket and a table and a very old stove. The crow perches somewhere.]

It's cooold.

[oni_san]

That's no reason to ignore it now.

[He looks around, surprised that it seems clean enough aside from dust, and sets Shino on the bed, checking the stove.]

Ah, we're in luck.

[He pokes a pile of logs by the stove, shaking loose a few spiders as he starts to build the basic structure for a fire.]

Once the fire is going I'll bring some more wood in to dry. Shino, you should try to get warm.

[immaturelycursed]

Yeah, I can do that--

[Shino is going to push himself down as he talks but at the sight of spiders he's automatically jumping back and falling onto his butt near the bed—

and that noise seems to scare off some cockroaches. so Shino is screaming.]

—Ahh!!

[oni_san]

Ah, you've woken them up.

[Strides past Shino to easily strip the covers from the bed, uprighting the mattress to startle away any other bugs and crawlies. There are a few, sorry Shino.]

[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.]
