He is on Agriculture's staff, and Bardo's been busy running around helping set up camp and making sure food gets delivered as well as making sure people don't get into the crops. Considering how understaffed Agriculture is, it's not surprising the staff has run themselves down. But Bardo's okay with that, helping make sure people are fine and taken care of is something he's grown to like throughout long years.

It's getting later in the day by the time he pauses and spots a familiar cat trying to help set up. With a relieved grin he moves over to greet him, "Konoe!"

LATER NO

[tailcrook]

He's probably found him just in time, the smaller cat just plopping down to sit on the grass when his ears perk at his voice.

He looks a little troubled but defiantly annoyed, parts of a new tent scattered about in front of him. So he lost the instructions, big deal....

"Bardo," Konoe's going to get right to the point. "This doesn't make any sense!"

The scattered pieces of a tent draw his attention, but it's a brief thing when compared to the look on Konoe's face. His own features are definitely concerned and Bardo reaches out and touches fingertips to shoulder, head tipping in a silent gesture for Konoe to share what's worrying him.

"Ah," A quick glance down, and then he plops right on next to Konoe. "Let me see."

Going to...pick up random pieces and look them over surely he'll figure it out eventually!

[tailcrook]

"It's a bunch of rods and - " He lifts up the tent's roof itself, puzzled even with it. "This part, I know what this part is."

It's just which direction it goes... and how to get it to stay put, since he's failed to notice a helpful ring or spike or two. At least he's sure of what shape it's supposed to be, after peeking over at others, and he looks to Bardo hopefully. If not how to fix the thing, help understanding why humans can't just sleep outside like them might suffice....

[dwellsonthe]

"Hmm. Lets try and fix these first then." He holds up a couple of the rods, confused surely, but they go together somehow! Honestly, Bardo's more comfortable in a tree or curled up beneath one than with these small little tents around him. What if something happened and they got stuck in it, after all?

"Maybe like this?" He fits two together--but they don't look quite right. "Ah, maybe not."

[tailcrook]

Exactly! But if even Bardo isn't sure about these.... He tilts his head at their progress so far, not yet excited by it either.

"I should've asked how before saying I could do it...."

He seems rather disheartened about it, tail listless in regret where it lies at his side. But -

He doesn't want to give up so quickly! And he suddenly gets a determined face again, grabbing some other stick and shoving its end into the ground whether it belongs that way or not.

"But it'll stand up somehow, right?" He glances up to Bardo again at that. Right?

[dwellsonthe]

Ah, don't get disheartened yet, Konoe! He leans over and bumps their shoulders together, tail flicking against legs in a small attempt to cheer up the younger cat.

"It's alright, we can figure it out." A smile Konoe's way, warm and reassuring. "If not, someone can help us learn how to put it together."

And then Konoe's face lights up with determination and there's the cat he knows! Bardo laughs and nods, gathering the other sticks and laying them out as if to magically determine which goes where. He has no clue
