You certainly weren't joking when you said you don't eat much, Teresa-san. I hope the food was to your liking. I'd be happy to cook for you whenever you need.

The nights here are so pleasant. I can actually take a walk and feel safe. Perhaps it's because the population is so small... I do prefer towns to large cities. The countryside is best, however.

Thank you. I've... gained an appetite, apparently.

I agree.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

I wonder why.

You prefer the woods most of all, do you not?

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. But I might have to take you up on your offer soon.

That's right. I've never really been welcomed in towns or cities... and the woods here are quiet most of the time.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

Most of the time.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

They're not so quiet when you nearly get cut in two, are they?

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

[silence because HAY THAT'S KINDA ALMOST HOW SHE DIED]

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

... I'm just joking.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

But such things happen.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

At least you'll never forgot our first meeting.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

No. But it was still fairly quiet, was it not?

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

It was. You didn't scream.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

No reason.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

No reason?

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

To scream.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

Most would, especially when at the unfriendly end of a sword.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

It serves no useful purpose unless there might be someone around to help. But even then, had you wished it, I would be dead before anyone could help.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

I thought it was an impulse.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

You're a strange one.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

[pause]

I am trying to remedy this.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean it in a negative way. You are who you are.

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

It has caused many problems in the past.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

How so?

[ascensional.livejournal.com]

Nothing you need to know of.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

[a small amused noise because that sounds like it almost hit a nerve]

Fair enough.
