>Not a whole lot, aside from the fact he didn't seem to be caught off guard by your ambush the first time, despite not apparently knowing to look for you to begin with. Yamame reported he was apparently looking for you the second time.

>You can think of a spot or two, but if you could successfully raise anything, you'd have to defend it from faeries and roving oni. And it'd be difficult to keep it all with you come harvest time.
