[And it's lost. Oh well.]

Sometimes I wonder if Ron feels the same way now then how you did then.

But it's true. You did think that. You've come so far since then. Incredibly so in such a short time. I'm proud of you for that.

[blurspot]

But why would Ron think he has to be useful?

We're not fighting, not like that.

It's not like when I met niisama.

[intercalaryninja]

How he's been brought up, I suppose. When I first brought him in, he told me he would kill me if I ever abandoned him.

I think it's time I do get the bottom to it. I've been negligent with how I've been with him. I should try at least get him to tell me as much as he can about himself.

[blurspot]

I don't think that was the same though.

When I talked to him about that, it was because he thought it was okay to kill mean people.

That was why I told him that was wrong. You can't just kill mean people, that doesn't fix things!

[intercalaryninja]

I suppose so.

See what I mean by I don't know these things?

[blurspot]

I guess.

He still has to realize what's really wrong though.

I don't want to come back until he does!

[intercalaryninja]

The leaving bit.

And maybe the fog god bit as well.

[blurspot]

[...Surprisingly enough, the answer is...different from what he likely expects.]

I was upset about that, but it didn't mean I didn't want to be his brother any more. I don't want to fight him, and he doesn't want to fight me either.

I knew that.

I just wanted him to realize I didn't want to leave him.

That she's not someone who would do that for free.

[intercalaryninja]

Seems I was far more mistaken than I thought.

But thank you for telling me this, Reira-dono. I'll try to get him to understand so you can come back soon.

[This is assuming Shun will let him though, but he'll hold his tongue there]

[soft_focus]

Okay.

But don't try too hard!

He has to figure it out!

[intercalaryninja]

If that is what you wish.

Are you comfortable there? How is everyone? How is Kurosaki treating you?

[blurspot]

It's okay!

I don't have a bed yet but since Kurosaki sleeps in the daytime I'm using his until we get the other one built.

He really likes math I think, though.

[intercalaryninja]

That's fair. He did take you on short notice.

He is your math tutor and he did volunteer for that with you. I imagination he's just playing to his strengths.

[blurspot]

I have to learn more than math though I thought.

[intercalaryninja]

You do. Please tell Kurosaki not to neglect the other parts of your education. I brought your other school books and things when I delivered Shingo's clothes the other day. Maybe you can try some of the exercises in the book on your own and practice.

[soft_focus]

I'll make sure!

[AND!!]

That's good!

His shorts were so ruined I thought he just wasn't wearing clothes right now.

[intercalaryninja]

I also dropped off all the things a kelpie needs to clean themselves with too so it's okay for your skin. I wasn't sure if the others had something suitable for you, so just in case. If I've forgotten anything, let me know, okay?

[Can you tell 'mum' worries a lot?]

Wow, that bad, huh? I could tell he was wearing pants, but I couldn't see them for the same reasons everyone else couldn't. Hopefully those look better and make him seem decent.

Then again, it's Sawatari.

[soft_focus]

All of it?!

How come I didn't see that?

[Probably because the exchange had to occur at the front lobby.]

Thank you for bringing everything.

[intercalaryninja]

[He's got an unspoken ban here.]

You may have been out or busy. It's alright.

It is not a problem, Reira-dono. I just want you being taken care of and have everything you need, that's all.

[blurspot]

Oh.

Okay.

Are everyone else okay?

Steve?

Buddy?

[Robbie and Sora don't get questions because he's going to be meeting them for costumes later.]

[intercalaryninja]

They're fine so far. Steve has been just going through things as he always has and Buddy is okay. He's a little confused where you and the cat have gone, but otherwise he's okay.

[blurspot]

You weren't supposed to know about Buddy!!!

[intercalaryninja]

Reira-dono, I've known about both animals since you brought them home, I can sense everything that goes on in this house.

[Literally. And besides, what kind of ninja would he be if he couldn't tell there were newcomers in his home?]

I was just wondering why you never told me.

[soft_focus]

I thought you'd make them leave.

You said we couldn't have pets.

But Bucky was gone, and that would mean there'd be no one to look after them!

[intercalaryninja]

We have the fish.

That was a joke if it wasn't clear.

If they really needed a home, I wouldn't mind housing them as well. I only said that I'd rather not risk having them because of... me.
