Fifteenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ not too far from the inn, Kazuha is taking inventory of... a bunch of omamori and various assorted charms. ]

Mmm... it feels like a lot more people need these than the last time I did this. But I didn't think I'd still have all of these from the trips and the time Heiji got sick and everything... I was going to give the innkeeper one, too, but... maybe Ai-chan will want one.

-- Aha, I remember these! They were supposed to be for good luck and keeping anything bad from happening, and this one was for getting lost, but I bought that one before I came here.

... Obviously didn't work.

((Just strolling through fuck-my-canon lane, but if you're a friend of hers and you haven't gotten an omamori yet or you just feel like chilling with her, feel free to hit her up.))

[ we have created a monster and of course, Kazuha is going to flinch a little out of surprise but refrain from screaming and punching you, because really, who else would do this ]

They're charms for different things!

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[And it dances. Sorry about the sneaking, Kazuha, we really are. And thank you for not punching us, ffff.]

Charms...?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, for good luck.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Looks back to them and smiles a little.]

...t-they're cute.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

One of 'em's for you, actually.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Looks somewhat alarmed.] W-what...? [Gifts; one of the countless things Crona Does Not Know How To Deal With.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That's... not a bad thing, right?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Icon.] N-no, I'm just... not sure how to deal with people giving me things...

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... It's never happened???

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Shrinks away from your voice, and thinks for a minute.] W-well not something like this...?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Crona-chan, that's-- I mean-- seriously?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

I-I've only really been around people for a few months, so it's okay...!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Only a few...?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

W-well, before here, I w-was only in Shibusen for a little while... [Though it's never stated exactly how long, I figure roughly six months.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Oh right, that school.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] I-I didn't really... spend much time with people before then.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... Then it's a good thing you went there. And here, for that matter.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

... [Iconface.] Y-yeah.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

A-anyway, if it's too weird to think of it as a gift, then consider it my thank-you!

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt.] ...thank-you for what...? I-I haven't done anything...

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? You helped me out gathering all those cans, didn't you?

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[...we'd forgotten about that.] O-oh, I guess so. B-but that... was to help everybody...

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Well, it was a big help to me.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Fidgets, pressing the fleshypads of our index fingers together.] W-well, I'm glad.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

So you'll accept it?
