Oh, her again. I guess I'll just be glad it's not worse, for one of her games.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

I suppose so. I'd like to learn how everyone else manages so easily.

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

Um, maybe learning to fight would help? And sticking by other people more... A lot of it's probably luck, too.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure that I was built to fight.

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

Just enough to learn to defend yourself, though... it might be able to buy you more time to run.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

Yes, that's true. I suppose.

[nods]

If you really don't want to learn, I won't try to force you, but I think it'd be a good idea. Though I guess I might be the wrong person to teach you, anyway... I'm not really sure how I manage to do what I do.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

I'm willing to learn, if we can find a teacher.

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

All right! I'll try to find one for you, then. I can try to work with you in the meantime, but um... it probably won't be too successful, so I'll definitely ask around.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

*sighs, he's not sure about this, but whatever*

...perhaps it can wait until I've healed, at least?

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

[nodnod]

I wouldn't make you try while you're hurt!

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

*nods, and smiles for you, a little*

I'm sorry. At the moment, I don't particularly want to move, let alone learn to fight.

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

[sheepishly rubs the back of his neck and smiles back]

Haha, yeah, I'm not surprised. I'll leave you alone to get some rest, then.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

You're no bother. I appreciate the concern, honestly.

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

I can't really help being concerned. But as long as you don't mind it... Mitsuru would probably get annoyed at me for worrying over something like bruises, and Jim would try and pretend there's nothing wrong, I bet.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

I don't mind.

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

Then I'll keep you company for a while! I'll need to go out later with Mitsuru to look for Merry, but we're not going right away.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

...Merry is gone?

[forgotmynuts.insanejournal.com]

No one's seen her since this morning. But she spends a lot of time out, she might just be hunting later than usual... That's what we're hoping, anyway.

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

*nods*

I'm sure you'll find her. Perhaps she lost track of the time.
