[mini mini] Taki... thanks for taking him in. It's no big deal. Anyone else would've had too many issues to deal with... I really feel guilty, but there are some very good reasons I can't have him here. So I gather. Look. The Queen phoned me this morning, and dropped him in my lap. He's... not exactly what he appears to be. ... What do you mean? * Taki sounds cautious. I can't tell you everything - ask him, if you want to know, and he doesn't mind. But, apparently he's some sort of magical construct. Is there anything I should be worried about? ... You mean he's not a real boy? Not... quite. The Queen says he seems to have a soul now. That's exactly her phrase - he "seems to have one now". So he has memories and that stuff? I mean, he knows how to be good and stay out of trouble? She had... deconstructed? Banished? I dunno. Got rid of him a few years ago, and last week he crawled out of her garden. O_o He has some sort of memories, but apparently they're a real jumble, and he's not quite all together. I... uh... Okay. But he-- I don't have to worry about him... hurting me, do I? ...but he certainly seems to be sincere and polite. I don't think he's a danger, or I wouldn't send him out with you. Okay. If you say so, I'll believe you. Frankly, you were the best choice, though, since you're, uh, proficient at self defense without resorting to magic. Look. If anything - ANYTHING - goes wrong, call me. Okay... The Queen says he's stable, but it's just weird, okay? Okay. * Sakura opens a drawer and fishes out a plastic card. * Taki looks at what Sakura pulls out. There's about 200,000 yen on this debit account. Get him some new clothes. Pay for food out of it. 200,000... Spend some on yourself - a reasonable amount - for lodging. Alright. Keep receipts though - if you go too crazy with it, Squeegee will have your ass for breakfast. We surely don't want to upset her "highness". No, you don't. Believe me, you do not want Squeegee on your case. Go on - have fun with him. * Taki smiles. "Talking from experience?" Not exactly, but I've seen her ruin a few lives. * Sakura waves a hand in a shooing motion and opens the door. Okay, I'll keep all that in mind... Go on, I know you think he's cute. But-- I don't... Noo... *gets pushed out* * Taki looks at Kenji and blushes. [end mini] Session Close: Sat Nov 29 19:41:43 2003
