Kennen nodded to Teemo, smiling sincerely. "Thank you," he said, "your honesty is appreciated." He backed away fom the duo and scanned the rest of the yordles. "Good!" he said, noting that all of them had followed instructions, "Now take your sticks and prop them at an angle away from your body. Then lean into them, resting your arm on the stick." He took a stick off of the ground and did so, leaning his left arm onto the stick, then brought his right hand up and shaded his eyes with it. "Like so."

Teemo quickly analyzes Kennen's form and mimics it with relative ease, as do a majority of the scouts. The few who are too overconfident with themselves aren't careful with their form and slip off of the stick the first time, though they catch themselves and fix the error in a matter of seconds. In no time all of the scouts are replicating Kennen's form.

Kennen jumped a little, frightened by how quickly the scouts assumed the pose. "Yes.. well that's the basic farmer pose..." he stuttered, "It conveys that you're looking for something -in this case, land- while also saving energy for the hard day ahead." He recovered, grabbed his stick, gripped it near the top, then faced the scouts again.
"Now then, you'll also need to learn how to walk." A grin crept across his face. "Moving from pose to pose without knowing how to do so would be rather difficult, eh?" He chuckled at his own joke before continuing with "Marching will appear far too abnormal for farmers. Instead, walk like this:" He brought his stick up like a walking cane and began to walk around, his head hunched slightly forward. He brought the stick down hard with every other step, though not hard enough to chisel the ground. He then stopped and struck the so-called "farmer pose."
((Sorry for the extremely late reply... this is what happens when 3 tests pile on you. Plus... there's nothing much I can say...))
Titus leaned forward with his stick out of boredom, sighing and contemplating at when this will be all over. As Kennen instructed, he copied the ninja's movements as best as he could. Meanwhile, he tapped on the ground with his stick, getting slightly frustrated that they're not out in the fields bringing the assassin to his knees already.
As he finished mimicking what Kennen was doing, he arrived back to his starting position and lazily leaned forward again waiting for the rest of the scouts to finish copying him.
((Oh and was I supposed to copy what Ken was doin?))

Again, the scouts do their best to replicate Kennen's movements. This time a few more of them struggle a little at first with the task, though it doesn't take long for all of them to get the hang of walking like a farmer.
Teemo shows a faint smile during his walk, and when he returns to his 'farmer pose' he aims his gaze towards Titus, chuckling lightly. "See, this isn't so hard. Right, Titus?" The question feels more like an accusation.
"Ha. Ha. Ha." Titus said sarcastically. "It's not hard to be a farmer, you know." He continued to look forward, with a bored and uncaring look in his face.

"BZZZZZZZT!" shouted Kennen, frowning, "A farmer's life is actually quite difficult. You have to work the fields and tend the livestock all year, with very little pay between harvests, and almost no spare cash." He wagged his finger. "Which leads me to my next point: while acting as a farmer, act tired or depressed- unless you see something that a farmer would enjoy, which we'll get into later. This will give off the air that your life is hard, which it is."

Teemo gives a false, half-hearted chuckle as his expression transitions into something more along the lines of Kennen's description. He mutters under his breath, "Heh, I know who won't have trouble with that."
The scout captain adjusts slightly to get a bit more comfortable while still maintaining a pose similar to the 'traditional farmer's pose', closing his eyes and waiting for the next instruction.
Titus doesn't need to act. He's already tired and depressed from this rudimentary boring session on how to become a farmer. He rolls his eyes apathetically at Teemo's comments as he stares blankly at Kennen.

"Now then," said Kennen, "you'll need to know what you're doing, exactly." He gazed around, as if he were telling a dramatic story. "Each and every one of you is a farmer whose farm was destroyed by a storm. Having lived in the same area with each other for a while, you've decided to set out to find good farmland." He leaned back and watched the scouts contemplate this for a moment.
"YOU!" he shouted, pointing at Titus without looking at him, "Without breaking character, tell me what good farmland looks like!"
Surprised and caught off guard, Titus quickly straighten himself.
"Uhh... uhh..." He's momentarily stuck trying to find the answer.
"Miiine... has good rice fields and turnips. Best vegetables you can find! And... plenty of food to go around," said Titus as he weakly finished his impersonation of a farmer. As he seemingly leans forward with his stick holding him, he can't ignore the heat of embarrassment forming up on his back.

"Wrong!" shouted Kennen, angered by Titus's reaction, "I asked for good farmland, not a good farm. Good farmland is flat with few hills and no trees. Essentially a plain." His anger boiled down a bit and he calmly added "Also, you broke character the instant you stood up like a board." He then turned to the rest of the scouts. After a moment of thinking, he said "Repeat after me: Plentiful flatland and nothing for trees is what every farmer wants to see."

Teemo and the scouts do as Kennen said and repeat his words, though only the captain and a few of the more intelligent ones remember to retain their tired and unhappy composure. Those who don't remember respond with a confident, yet monotonous tone of a team of well-seasoned soldiers repeating their orders back to their superior. It makes Teemo both chuckle on the inside and worry a little bit that some of the boys won't be able to pull off their new identities.
"Plentiful flatland and nothing for trees is what every farmer wants to see."
Titus repeats Kennen's words exactly as the ninja said it. He thought of punching Kennen in the face while mimicking the sentence in a stale manner. Even after the backlash he received from him, Titus did his best holding back his anger.

"Good job repeating what I said," replied Kennen, smiling, "But most of you broke character." His smile turned back to a slight downward curl. "Remember: depressed, unless you see what you just described OR good prices on seeds. Can anyone tell me what a good deal on quality seeds is?"
