[He turns to look over at him, thoughtful and curious again.] I know. I believe you. [And he's really grateful for that.] But you're doing enough and that is that. It's not like you aren't.
[It's not like John who's still doing a bunch of stuff but not really focusing on one specific project to work on.]
[Ah. Silence again, but he looks at the sprouts instead of Dave. He's not entirely sure why, specifically, Dave will listen to him even if he doesn't want to but then again that's always been their friendship. Both of them only really listening to each other when it's really serious.]
...this is fine. It's important, I wouldn't ask you to stop something like this. [And in time, maybe, he'll recognize it wasn't fair to ask Dave not to timetravel at all even if it hurts him. You know. Like when a shadow devours him.]
[He kind of wants to say "no" because it's important for Dave to be around other people and do his own thing, but simultaneously he kind of likes doing things together.]
I can dig holes? [Shrug. So that's a "yes" if Dave can use the extra hand.]
[Eventually he'll stop thinking about other people and just assume they're doing everything together but the cautious grin gets a wider one from John.]
Okay, then I guess that is that. I can probably find a shovel somewhere and we can get everything planted!
Technically we are still on a walk so we can look for a shovel now? I have enough slots in my 'dex I can just keep it there for whenever. I was talking to this girl who had a bunch of seeds that the birds kept trying to eat, but she didn't know what they were.
Really? Beats having to wait around forever for them to grow. [He pats the dirt around the base of the sprout.] These are going to be really cool when they are fully grown.
Oh my god, don't be a baby. I'll haul well water back to your house if that is what you're worried about. [He says from his place in the dirt and not even really registering he probably should also wash the dirt off.]
You mean kind of like you shouldn't have had to do it for me? [Yes he remembers that, thank you.] It'll be fine but maybe we should look into other kinds of water storage.

Now or later? Because it's like, an ongoing project and people occasionally find new seeds.
