[ Admittedly, Minato is a bit impressed by Akira's ability to scale the coconut tree. Sure, he's crawling up its trunk inch by inch like a lumbering, giant squirrel, but he'll make it to the top eventually.
...and Akira volunteering to do said climbing means Minato gets a free pass. ]
Keep going, you're almost there.
[ Words of encouragement! Words of affirmation! But alas, all spoken in an unenthused tone.
Minato moves to stand beneath the tree, one hand lifted at his brow to block out the blinding sun. He looks up where the coconuts are nestled against the tree's thick branches. If Akira can shake them free one at a time, he can probably catch each in his arms.
Or... maybe they should harness gravity to crack them open? The meat of the fruit is probably more useful than the actual liquid, considering they'd already located a source of water. ]
Hey, Akira. Should I catch them? Or let them hit the ground?
