Distraction backfire

[cloningblues]

[The last battle had some messed-up things happening, and Asagi was impacted by it, even if he doesn't show it. To distract himself from it, he bought a bonsai tree - tending for those things is supposed to be very calming, after all.

The thing is, he's not entirely sure what to do with it for now, so after putting the tree in his room he's just looking at it like he's engaged in a staring contest. And of course he forgot to lock his door, as usual.]

[And what better way of getting a good layout of all the bases than to simply go and wander around everywhere, including Asagi's room? Hey, it's open so it can't be like, a security risk or anything. But when he sees the tree...]

Oh! What a lovely penjing you have!

What's a penjing?

[prismphantom]

Why that's what you have right here! One moment... accessing Tikimedia's internet entry on them...

"-also known as penzai, literally "tray plant", penjing is the ancient Chinese art of depicting artistically formed trees, other plants, and landscapes in miniature."

... What was it sold to you then as if not a penjing? Did someone overcharge you? Or undercharge you?

Ah, it's just a Chinese name for bonsai then. In other words, exactly what I have here.

You have constant internet access in your head? Must be convenient.
