[ This is indeed what a jinba looks like. Some jinba, anyway. Others are much beefier, like Gonta, and some don't have arms, etc. etc. There are variances. In general though, yes. Horse man. ]
Perhaps not. But I have learned to accept that kind of company over the years.
[ He offers a small smile again. ]
I was signed up for that auction with the aim to get to know more people, I believe.
I don't believe I've seen many...jinba, was it? around before so I'm glad to at least have met you. Back home there are people with animalistic traits, much like the moonblessed here, though I haven't seen any that are quite like yourself.
[ It's refreshing and intriguing all the same. ]
I believe mine was for that sake as well. Or perhaps for another reason. [ He shrugs. Either way he can't help but thank whoever it was, since it's allowing him to meet a good variety of people here. ]
You've been to this farmstead before? What would you recommend?
Centaur...I see. Which is more proper a term to use, if you don't mind my asking?
[ Perhaps it is, but Ozpin is rather accepting of most people in general, even those who have betrayed him. ]
Ah. Then you'll be able to pick and choose which is the best to buy. I have been trying my hand a few new recipes, so this might be a good time to take note of a few things to get.
[ Ozpin gives him a curious look before nodding. ]
Perhaps. Having freshly grown fruits and vegetables is something that everyone could use. Especially in a place where sometimes things aren't what they seem...
[ Especially when it's laced with aphrodisiacs and other unpleasantness. ]
[ He nods. Well, aphrodisiacs are especially annoying to Mikuni who not only has no jinba partners to choose from, but is generally uninterested in being horny at the best of times.
But what can you do. ]
Where I am from, we grow our own food anyway. We cannot just go buy something that is already made.
[ That's a whole ass mood Mikuni. Ozpin doesn't appreciate what happens with Iris at any given time, honestly, but Mikuni really...has it rough though, huh? This place is really unfair towards those who can't exactly fight the effects of the moon's.
Ozpin will give him a curious look before nodding. ]
Yes I remember living through such times. Having to forage and grow your own food is a lost art, however. I believe everyone should really learn aspects of farming and gathering. If anything it helps build character, hm?
[ He chuckles a little as he looks up at the sky, eyes thoughtful. ] Though now everything in my world is rather advanced. But farms and such still exist, for good reason.
[ If Gonta and Konoha weren't here, he'd basically be a hobo on the streets with how little chroma he generates. It's a miracle the city hasn't just kicked him out. But anyway, he nods again. ]
It's important. You never know when you may need such survival skills.
[ That's why Mikuni had learned in the first place, to survive and to help others survive when no one else was looking out for them. ]
You've had a lot of changes in your world? Mine is changing, too. So different even now from when I was a child. Though it is not technology so much as the people's minds.
It's a natural thing, isn't it? Humans and others grow and adapt...create new advancements for their societies. So it's only natural that change occurs. Though sometimes it's not always...for the best. But at least it's known that while change can be for the better it can also usher in harm as well.
[ He might tilt his head at 'people's minds' part. ]
[ He can't really argue that. But indeed sometimes it's for worse rather than something good.
It's hardly proper "date" conversation, but well. He did ask... ]
I grew up in an era of war. Where jinba were enslaved by humans and forced to do terrible things on top of all the humans' hard work. Now that I'm older, humans and jinba live a more peaceful coexistence once more.

[ He has noticed that people are more accepting in this place, perhaps because of the prismals. ]
But yes, I live here with its owners. Everything is grown with care and great expertise.
