Shinku opened her case to see (and hear) Suiseseki ooh'ing and aah'ing at Jun's window.

"For goodness' sake!" Shinku said. "What's the fuss all about?"

"It's the first day of summer desu!" Suiseiseki said happily.

Shinku got up, and closed her case. "So?" she asked.

"'So' desu ka!?" said Suiseiseki the Gardener. "The fauna is flush desu! The flowers are in bloom desu! The fruit grows large and sweet desu!"

"How very uncivilized," an uninterested Shinku said.

Suiseiseki huffed. "You have no appreciation of Nature desu."

"And you," Shinku said dryly, "have no appreciation of letting Shinku get enough rest."
