[ Minato doesn't do anything as cursed as sleeping with his shoes on, but he sure does take Namine's hand and proceed to walk out of the —cabin? hut? I forget what they live in. the building. He exits barefoot and in his pajamas, because they're comfortable and nobody cares.
They do not have a car, which is wildly disappointing, so it'll be a slow trek on foot to the farm. ]
[ It is now a seven sided cabin, and the farm they approach has an enclosure full of white and brown chickens, a little pond filled with ducks with serrated bills good for tearing flesh, two or three horses grazing in a pasture with spiders crawling out of their mouths, and also Tsuru is there sitting in a pumpkin patch and we'll get to him later. ]
Alright... So. Eggs. Do you want to be the distraction, or the one to take the eggs?
[ They're all good animals. And this is all the planning they're going to make, Minato nodding as he points Namine towards the chicken coop, and with his other hand gestures to the other side of the barn where he'll draw the chickens away. ]
Wait until they're all gone. In and out, as quick as you can. We'll meet up... uh. Somewhere.
[ how many eggs do they need? where is somewhere? there are so many questions, but instead of asking them, she simply nods and will move to a spot where she can easily run to the chicken coop. ]
there's a pause, because she recognizes that wasn't minato's voice. still, she goes to grab some eggs, as much as she can comfortably carry without them felling out of her grasp and breaking.
... and then she hurries over because who just screamed. ]
[ Nobody important. Minato comes jogging around the corner of the barn at the same time Namine does, slowing so he doesn't bump into her and knock all those eggs out of her arms.
Behind him, the chickens are all huddled beneath the shade of a tree, nearby which the horses are chomping on a broken pumpkin. The ducks on the lake paddle around languidly. The water is a deep crimson. ]
[ Minato holds his hands out to help carry the eggs. The pond water is turning deep red near the edge behind him, and a couple last bubbles break the surface before the ripples settle and the water is still again. ]

Two minutes pass without any noise or movement.
And then, the screaming starts, and the chickens all scatter: the signal. It's not Minato's voice. It ends almost as abruptly as it begins. ]

How do you like your eggs?
no subject
Oh... any type is fine. Whatever you like best.
[ she squints. is that blood. please don't be blood. ]
no subject
Minato's going to make the eggs sunny side up. ]
no subject
but she will go check out the water then. ]
Minato, is this blood?
