I can't help but wonder if this is how I'd talk. Am I really this way?

It was a lie.

I don't resemble him at all. This anxiety over--because of the thing I forgot. I feel like the most important thing was forgotten.

Dammit. Selfish, so damn selfish. I'm horrible.

Talking this way is bad, but everybody has been wonderful. I'm really so damn lucky. I should make this up to everybody. When I can speak without, um, such language, that is.

Thanks, Soi Fong, for the strawberries! They were very good!

EH!? Is speaking this way really funny?

[is trying his best not to snicker]

It's more the fact you're speaking that way is what makes it amusing.

Lae! You're laughing!

Eh?

Yeah, I suppose it'd be funny 'cause I don't talk like this often. ...Right?

Who me? Of course not.

Well that and the fact you're so polite~ The sudden blunt language goes against your personality.

Eh? But I thought I heard ya...

Yeah, I thought so, too. But everybody thinks it's so damn funny, I wonder if...somehow, maybe, it's a good thing?

Ehhh, no, no.

Must've been your imagination.

Think of it this way; the castle is known for being less than... kind with the losses. If the most you've lost is your politeness for a week, consider yourself lucky.

Ehh?! You think so?!

The most ...I've lost...

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm very blessed. Thanks, Lae.

You know Lady Soi Fong as well?

Yeah!

You know her, too? Soi Fong is very nice!

She is.

Though she seems more fond of hiding it...

Ah, you're the young lady with the...speech problem, this week?

Ha ha, sometimes it's hard as hell for people to act the way they feel.

Ah, um, yeah! Sorry if, um, I pissed you off. Eh!

That's me. I'm Tohru Honda. Who're you?

Oh, that's...alright.

I normally wouldn't approve of the language, but with this place...I'm sure it can't be helped.

I'm Lucius.

It's nice to meet you, Tohru.

EH!?! Then sorry! Very sorry! It's ...no good!

Nice to meet ya, Lucius! Although ...it'd be better if I could talk nicer.

[small laugh]

It's alright.

We can always talk later, when all this is over.

Ah, I'd be happy to talk you at anytime. Although, for you, my being has gotta be uncomfortable.

Don't worry; it's alright.

Traveling often gets you used to hearing all sorts of things.

Thanks!

Do you travel lots?

Of course ♥

I used to. I was a mercenary.

Eh? A mercenary?

Yes.

I traveled with another for awhile, and then we both joined a larger group for a time...

Um, sorry, what's a mercenary?

Do ya miss them?

Oh! I'm sorry.

A mercenary is someone...who sells their fighting ability.

Soldiers for hire, you might say.

I do. I miss them quite a bit..but some of them are here, so it's not so bad.

YOU WERE A MERCENARY? AHHH I FEEL LIKE I HARDLY KNOW YOU LUCIUS!

[laughter]

Is it really that much of a surprise?

Yes!!

I never knew you possess such skills! I just know you're a healer and a loving person, especially towards the children!

['nother small laugh]

Healing was actually...a secondary skill.

I didn't really pick it up until some years back.

What I did before, primarily, was light magic.

Wow.. everybody seems to be so talented! I, too, shall pick up another skill and advance myself as well.

I'm sure you'll hold up pretty well when in time of combat.

I'm sure you can do it, Dr. Kurosaki ♥

Ah, well...I hope there isn't any need.

Is there anything wrong with your speech, miss?

Yeah!

It's rude of me!

You normally don't use many vulgarities, is that it?

Trust me, you are hardly being rude. I've heard much worse.

No! No way!

Thanks. Everybody has been kind about this crap.

Ehh.

Ha, well if it makes you feel any better, someone was suffering from the opposite problem. He couldn't swear at all.

?

Is that a bad thing?

For him, it apparently is.

You're speaking fine! There's nothing wrong it it!

Thanks! That makes me feel a helluva lot better!

That's the spirit! There's nothing wrong with your speech pattern!

Eh? Yeah. I'm sure it'll end soon. Ah, you can lose things, I mean.

Doesn't seems like you lost much in this case.

Ah, yeah, Lae said that, too.

It's ...really ...not so bad.

However, you seem to be going through a lot of stress about this! Calm down and enjoy yourself! No need to make yourself so stress out!!

Yeah.

That's a good attitude!

Eh, I'm Tohru!

Hello Tohru! You need to relax more. Maybe a massage will help you or something.

I'm Kurosaki Isshin, resident doctor!
