Mm-hm. In a way, it's more like back at the office... though it's also not that. I don't get paid enough to live there.

It's been so long since I've spent this much time actually living with other people.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

A-aah. I like it, but...

I suppose for you, it makes it harder to find time for yourself, to think about it all.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

It certainly isn't what I'm accustomed to. But I never said that it was necessarily a bad thing.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

....

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

...so just. Don't be putting words into other people's mouths. It's a bad habit.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Tatsumi, I...

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

...yes, Tsuzuki-san?

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

I've been enjoying it, living with you.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Despite your less than stellar cleaning habits, I feel the same.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

*okay give him a minute to just smile before he says this next part*



And the others?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

It has taken me some time to get accustomed to having your shikigami simply... there. That's a real reminder that we're not at home. It's probably not so strange for you, since you, naturally, deal with them regularly. But it's odd, since they're certainly not strangers to me, and yet... well. It's different, that's for sure.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

I never really think, about what they look like, that is.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Well, from a point of view more distanced than yours, they really give quite different impressions in the forms they usually have here in camp than their... alternate forms.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Have you talked to them, very much?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Not a lot, no.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Mm, well. I suppose Touda doesn't talk much.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

...no, he doesn't.



Byakko-san can really sleep through just about anything, can't he?

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Aah, but he makes a great pillow!

...they've heard a lot about you, too.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Most people don't take to using giant tigers as pillows.

...is that so.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Well, they've been around for a long time.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

So that means that you've been gossiping with them for a long time?

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

I'm not an old woman, Tatsumi...

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

But you are an old man.

...well, now. You haven't been one for the entire time, naturally.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

.......

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

But we put up with you, anyways.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Aaah, well.

You're not so young yourself, anymore.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's true. I do think that I've mellowed out a bit. As opposed to going senile.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Ah, maybe a little. Eh?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Well. Things haven't changed that much.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

...

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

...there are times when I wonder... if it's even possible for us to actually change. If we did... well, that would obviate our existence as we are, wouldn't it?

I'm sorry, I'm just rambling.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

. . .

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Have you seen Watari-san lately? You might want to try to do some preemptive damage control. I hear that he wants to teach Kurosaki-kun sex ed.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

I know. I told him, we don't need safe words...

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

. . . .

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Because we won't do that!

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

I do not need to know the details, thank you very much!

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

There aren't any!

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

I don't need to know future details, either!

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

.....ah.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Naturally, Kurosaki-kun should know where he can get information, should he need it. But, as you say, an extended discussion, especially without prompting, is unnecessary.



...I just wanted to be sure that you knew, so that you could speak with him, if you wanted to.

[cake-and-death.livejournal.com]

Aah... Hisoka, or Watari?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Either one, I suppose.
