[ He's still grinning, his eyes for a moment almost turning into happy crescents. ]
Old, mossy rocks are my favourite! They're sturdy and weathered a whole slew of storms, you know?
[ With a light laugh, he nods his head, because a little of that was teasing, yes, but he means it. People aren't less for not having traveled more. Until he was eighteen, he'd only traveled to another village for treatment, or moved once when his village was burned down. He's no Xie Lian, roaming the countryside for centuries. Though he might be, one day.
If Murasame doesn't consume him, he will be, some day. ]
Mm, then it's decided! Have you had short ribs before? I'll bring a bunch over along with the sauces so we can all try them at your place! That'd be for what... you, Konoha, and Mikuni too, right?
[ That is going to be so much meat, and he has zero regrets already. ]
[ That comparison to being sturdy and having weathered many storms has him smiling a little and replying with a pleased little grunt. That was very astute of him. ]
Short ribs...? No, I've never had such a thing. And yes. There's me, Konoha, and Mikuni on the farmstead.
[ Sturdy people are ones he rather appreciates, since he wishes he was more like them in his own life... and he tries, but he often falls short. Not for lack of heart or trying to be there, but it's hard to be a rock when you have no foundation to stand on, just other people's graces. ]
Okay, so that's a lot of ribs with our four appetites... it'll be great! Can I borrow something to haul them over or... hm. Would you be okay meeting up and helping bring them all over?

[ Gonta seems pretty confident about that, giving Shino an assuring nod. ]
It'll be nice to have a good meal together on the farm.
