Drabble Notes – Kisara & Miho, based in an AU where Kisara exists in modern times and works on a farm.

Autumn was the time to harvest the crop.
Kisara knew that well. It was planted and nurtured in the spring, it thrived during the summer and when autumn came it was time to collect the ripened crop to store for use during the cold winter months.
Everyone had worked hard to collect the crop that day but Miho was not fairing well. She was a city-girl; used to having food put in front of her without having to work the year growing it and without having to harvest it in the autumn.
Given she had dressed for the occasion. Tell Miho that you were going out somewhere and you could guarantee that she'd have the ideal outfit for where you were going. In this case she had chosen dungarees that were suitably for getting muddy. But collecting the crop didn't concern what you were wearing so much.
As Kisara was putting away the last tiny bundle of remaining wheat Miho walked over, struggling to carry as small pumpkin. She had been carrying the smaller vegetables all day but still it seemed these had been having a strain on her.
"How do you do this all day?" she puffed, resting against Kisara.
"It is necessary, or else we won't eat during the winter," Kisara answered, using the honesty that was all she knew.
Miho sighed and answered, "You could buy all of these things from a supermarket…"
"But another farm would have worked to produce the food there. We only want what we have earned," Kisara insisted, pride well intact.
