Neil stared at the boy for a moment before shaking his head and nodding soon after. "Can I just call you Yuki?" He asked, ushering the boy from the house before starting to walk towards the barn. "This is your barn, but I'm hoping you're not that stupid. Inside is a few cows and one bull. This used to be my farm but I simply got too lazy to work on it by myself. We'll see the animals later. Behind you, there, is your food storage place. You want to sell something before Van - our local merchant - comes into town, you either set up a stall out at the villiage or put your stuff here." He tapped the old bricks and grinned once more before spinning and pointing to another, smaller building that was attached to the barn.
"That is your tool shed. Gardening supplies and the supplies to take care of your animals are in there and ready to use once I show you how to use them. I don't want you hurting the animals or yourself." Neil knew he was going a little fast, but he wanted to be quick about this so he could go to the market in the city to get some seeds and other things before Rock came - as per daily - and bugged him about nuts. That little man sleeper.
"You have two veggie and fruit patches. One smaller one here. About 36 plots and it's usually used for trees. You could have a small orchard near your house. Lovely, eh?" He snorted and rolled his eyes before turning once more. "Your feild is out there. Call your animals out to it and you can leave them there to feed themselves if it's not raining or snowin'. The weather channel is very reliable." Neil looked at Riyuki to see if he was caught up with what he was saying. "Am I going too fast?"

Again--at least the farm wasn't all that big.
Riyuka felt a little special, being called "Yuki." It was a cute nickname, although Riyuka doubted that Neil was trying to be cute about anything. He seemed a bit...too rough to be cute, but definitely not too cold to make friends with.
As Neil went through the tour, Riyuka just nodded and tried to keep his mind clear, so he could store all the valuable information that Neil was sending to him. It worked, for the most part.
"No," Riyuka looked over the farm. "I think I got it. Mn, it's not that hard to remember..." He said quietly, trying to give himself at least some credit.
Riyuka didn't want to mention that he thought the idea of having an orchard was /pretty/. Aside from that little bit of goodness, Riyuka felt slightly intimidated. He had no idea if he could work well with the animals, or even last very long when it came to working in the field. Well, he would always have to try.

"Awesome." He nodded and rubbed his hands together before looking around. "Uuum. Chicken coop where Kitten and her horde is. Other 78 or so plot for veggies and nuts over there. And... I think that's it. You've seen where my house is, so, yeeeah..." He scratched his head and thought for a moment before snapping his fingers and pointing towards the barn, "Wanna meet the animals?" Neil asked, grinning slightly.

The animals.
Riyuka was slightly afraid of them. It wasn't as if he had the terrible fear that a cow would maul him over and kill him, somehow. No, he just didn't like the idea of being around messy animals, like cows. Wait, then why the hell did he chose to work on a farm? Maybe they'll be cute cows...
"Um, sure," Riyuka turned his gaze to the animal barn. It didn't look too messy, on the outside.

Neil laughed and nodded, taking the boy's wrist in hand as he moved towards the barn, pushing open the door with one foot and immediately being assaulted by a large wet nose. He squealed softly as the bull nosed his shoulder and huffed heavily. It looked over at Riyuka and stared with honey colored eyes. "Bubba, it's not polite to stare. Go back to your pregnant wife." Neil shooed the large black bull towards a black and white cow who was chomping on fodder inside her little pregnancy pen.

Riyuka's eyes lit up for a moment, "She's pregnant?" he asked rhetorically as he turned his pale, cerulean eyes to look at the soon-to-be mother cow. It wasn't until then that Riyuka realized that he actually thought the cows and bull were cute. (Because everything in HM is cute, ne?)
Feeling that not saying would be impolite, he decided to make small talk, "Oh, when is she due?" he asked, blinking at the cow. Having a baby cow around would be so adorable. Then he blushed lightly as he realized something. He didn't know how to milk a cow. Of course, he didn't want to say that now, feeling it would only make Neil frustrated, and he had a feeling that Neil was short tempered. So he locked it up inside and planned to tell Neil...some other time. Yeah, that might work.

"Half-A-Month." Neil said, walking over to the cow and getting a snort from the bull. He stopped and just looked at the cow from a closer place. Even though he and Bubba were 'friends' Bubba was still an animal. "The bull is Bubba. The Cow is Bubbette. Rock - a dude you'll meet soon - named them." He shook his head and sighed heavily. "So, kid. That's basically it. You can explore the tools later and I just have one more question," He held up a finger, "Do you know how to work a farm?"

Riyuka bit his lower lip nervously and looked off to the side for a second, a nervous habit of his. He felt bad for saying what he was about to say, but he knew that it was his own fault for jumping into something he didn't know anything about. "Well, I, um, just know basic stuff...I guess." He blushed from embarrassment. "I don't really know much..."
