Wow, where have the months gone? You keep thinking it was only a couple of weeks ago you showed up bleeding to death in the lobby-

.... [Right, that part wasn't supposed to be spoken. An awkward cough- moving on.]


I...probably should get out more.


[Which is why he's decided to take a walk outside of the castle grounds today. Feel free to catch him on his way if not already outside.]

Oh crap...

[He swallows, taking a step back while he tries to make an effort of keeping his thoughts in line, lest he get sunk into further trouble.]

-gotta say that's a stretch, even if it is heavy on the sarca- No, didn't mean that one either, honest! Come on just shut up already...!

[...and then despite the menacing air he's picking up from the girl, he can't help but sigh.]

This is ridiculous.

[ And Lucy takes a step forward, eyes narrowing by the second. ]

Might wanna quiet that inner monologue of yours, kid. [ She knows. She knows! ] 'less you like living without a head.

[ It's like Haruhi all over again! Except with even more abuse and impending danger! ]

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

I'm trying, I'm trying! [Now he's just frustrated.]

Blame the stupid castle- it's a lot harder than you suggest, you know!

[purestlily.livejournal.com]

So how're you gonna make it up to me?

[ Watching him with a growing grin. She's waiting, Kyon. Don't disappoint her. ]

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

Whoa, hold on- what do you mean by that?

I think you're blowing this all out of proportion.

[purestlily.livejournal.com]

I think I'm gonna blow you across the pavement in about two seconds.

[ ...WHELP... ]

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

[Riiight, stepping back now.]

I'd really appreciate if if you didn't...

[purestlily.livejournal.com]

So apologize.

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

I thought I did already...

[He presses his lips together before he can blurt out anything else that might make his life miserable, dipping his head in an apologetic bow.]

I'm sorry about all that.

[purestlily.livejournal.com]

Better.

[ At least Lucy looks like she doesn't want to kill him anymore... well, kill him less, at least. ]

What's your name?

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

[He'll take what he can get.]

It's Kyon. Or it might as well be.

[Not even the castle cared to let him use his real name. Seems he's cursed for life on that one, no matter where he goes.]

And you?

[purestlily.livejournal.com]

Lucy.

[ Not her real name, either. Folding her arms, the anger fades from her expression, replaced by just mild annoyance. ]

You make a habit of runnin' into girls, Kyon?

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

[He nods his head in acknowledgment of that. Crisis hopefully averted.]

Not really, no.

[purestlily.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should keep a better eye out, then.

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

Right. Definitely. I'll ah...I'll do that.

[Why can't he ever run into any normal girls?]

[purestlily.livejournal.com]

[ Yeah, she's just about done with you... only not quite. ]

Better lock your door at night, Kyon. [ Brushing on past. ] Never know what comes lurking about that hour.

[ Like twisted girls with tentacles! Your life, what has it become? ]

[re-catalyst.livejournal.com]

[He glances after her, swallowing nervously at that.]

...yeah, learned that one when I had a dragon poking around in my room...

[Although quite frankly? He'll take the dragon any day over this chick.]
