Tsutakei knelt by one of the larger plants in the greenhouse, carefully coaxing just a little more nectar into the bowl in her hands, which was made out of a large and waxy leaf. This was the main ingredient, and had to be collected regularly, in order to have the optimal effect. She twitched, violently, face contorting into a snarl; her hand shook, allowing a few minuscule aqua drops to fall on her other hand, soaking in quickly. Her earlier dose was wearing off already. The potent nectar was what she put into a potion of sorts, though truly all she did was thin the substance so that it would not be powerful enough to take out an entire squad with a thimbleful. "Thank you, gorgeous," she murmured to the plant as the sedative began to run through her system once more.

Ibara made his way into the green house, looking at his cousin with an odd look on his face. "You know, you baby those things way too much."

Tsutakei scoffed dismissively, "I give them as much respect as they deserve and remember my manners. I don't baby anything. And as this one is solely responsible for keeping the fleshly creatures of this village alive and well, I wouldn't insult it. Plants grow better with care and kindness, didn't you know?"

"Of course I know that, I am a Larka after all, or did you forget your own cousin already?" He asked while looking into a pot of soil where a few seeds were growing. He watered them. "I mean, who would know better than a Sannin?" It was the Larka that built this village anyway. Growing all the plants and trees.

Tsutakei stuck out her tongue and snorted, "I wish. I certainly try enough, but then you come around and remind me."

"That hurt." Ibara said jokingly while blowing a kiss towards her. "I am off to make my rounds, dear cousin. Don't get eaten by one of your plants, now." He left.

"As if I would," she muttered, checking that the bowl of bluish nectar was still there and full, before heading to the nearest tap that filled a large stone basin from which the majority of the greenhouse was irrigated and kept at the proper humidity for some of the more temperamental plants. She placed her 'bowl' on the ground beside it and, kneeling, picked up another leaf, this one shaped like a bowl but with a triangular protrusion, obviously for use as a water dipper. She filled it with the aforementioned substance and placed it beside the other bowl, retrieving a third bowl, half-filled with another, thicker liquid. This molasses-like substance was a bluish white, and she carefully measured part of the nectar she had collected into it, mixing it well with water, until it was the consistency of twice-boiled milk, and a sky-blue hue. Making a face, she used a leaf to scoop up a small amount. Sticking out a pale blue tongue, she licked the substance off of the waxy leaf, nodding when it met her requirements. She always hated testing her concoctions. Tsutakei waited a few minutes more, to see if she had made it too strong, before pulling a number of vials from her belt pouch and filling them. She was capping the last one, when she cursed. Too much at too short an interva-
Her upper body joined the rest of her on the ground, unconscious.
((oops... sweatdrop ))

Three hours later
Tsutakei sat up, her mind tearing through the layers of gauze the sedative had a tendency to leave behind as she became aware of where she was and what, exactly, had happened. "Knew I had overlooked something," she muttered to herself as she glared at the spilt 'medicine'. Then she gathered the rest of the vials and placed them back in her belt pouch, standing. She then traveled to another corner of the greenhouse to tend to some of her more favored plants.

Ibara entered once again. He knew that taste on the air, she had been playing with sedatives and medicines again. "Tsutakei... Why do you keep doing this to yourself?" he asked while walking into the corner opposite of her.

She shrugged and made a noncommittal sound, stretching, and managing to dislocate one of her shoulder in the process. Deftly popping it back into place with a surprising lack of sound I'm not sure I'll ever be quite used to that sensation, she paused, digging in her belt pouch for another vial, then returned, "Do what, exactly?"

"Getting too personal with your work. As long as we've known one another, you're always knocking yourself out with this or that."

Ibara appeared and his kage bunshin vanished. "In here, kid."

Haruki looked around the greenhouse for a few seconds in curiosity but as his eyes roamed the room more the larger his eyes got. He'd never been in such a large greenhouse! And with so many plants! He rushed forward amazed at all the different kinds, some he couldn't even name! "Amazing! There are so many!" The boy ran excitedly over to one table with an interesting plant set as the center and pointed towards it, "What is the name of this one? What is its function?"

Ibara laughed softly. "I believe that is what my cousin calls a umm...." He thought. "I do not quite remember." He brought over a vase and placed it in front of him. "This is however one of mine. It's a special seed which seeds and grows inside some one and absorbs chakra, then blooms. You can gain the chakra by eating the flower."
