[Konoha had resigned herself to city living, when she’d first arrived in this place. She’d picked out a place on the ground floor as close to the groves as she could be, spending most of her time out and nursing sore hooves that hadn’t appreciated the sudden switch to hard metal streets and walkways. But she’d known that... she could deal with it. The crowds, the noise, the technology, the magic... eventually she’d settle. Eventually it would be fine.
But it wasn’t the same for Gonta, she knew that. He’d tried, he had, but when he’d voiced his desire to do this... how could she do anything but enthusiastically support it?]
Mmmn, it was Gonta’s idea.
[For the future, the chance they might be stuck here a long time, the children she hoped to have and was beginning to fear may never come.]
The name was his idea, too.
[It was where she was apparently going with him, after all. Mt. Tsurugi.]
t took us a while to get everything ready, to build, and to plant... and I know it’s more like my village than it probably is on the mountains like you two are used to, but...
[But it was world’s better than the neon lights and the bustle of metropolis, the shine of crystals and the constant movement of trains, cars, and feet. So she beams proudly upon it, a little slice of peace and quiet that made sense to her... that looked like home to her.
That felt more like home, now, too. Even though she’d only known Mikuni a few months since Sha had sent him to her yard... he was practically family now.]
