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.))

Maybe. Not sure how I'd get there if it's that far though.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a bit farther than your own country.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Hm, maybe when I'm older....

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

How old are you?

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

I'm twelve.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... [ better than seven ] You're not staying by yourself, are you?

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

[And yet her lie has a bigger age gap.]

Of course no- [Pause. Oh, wait. This place doesn't have ORPHANAGES and LEGAL FORCES that can make her life difficult.] Yeah. But it's fine. I've been mostly hanging out at the library.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That's... not really the best place.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.] Better than a cave. And I don't have money to pay for the inn.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... You don't have to pay.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

You....don't?

[A beat.]

This place is awesome!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

-- Ahaha, I don't know how many people would agree.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

What's not awesome? There's free food, there's free board. It's pretty nice when it isn't raining like mad. It's awesome!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Well, we're still living on an island, so utilities and things like that are a little short...

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Meh, there could be worse. At least people don't starve when surrounded by abundance.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Except maybe the stubborn ones.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Nothing important!

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Oooookay?

[One day he'll learn. Maybe?]
