He's the king of the dead, generally speaking.

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a fun guy.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

I couldn't tell you.

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

He's not a very public person, is he?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

To say the least.

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

[chuckles a bit]

I should make you stop talking about work.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Ah, we had we been... Oh, right. You seem as though you have some dancing experience, yourself.

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

"It's a surprisingly practical skill."

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*...gives Fuuma a Look*

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

[is totally innocent, what]

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

How so?

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

[smiles]

Karen taught me how. She said, "A man should always know how to dance. One never knows when it might come in handy."

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

She sounds like a smart woman.

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

[chuckles]

She is.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Was she from Tokyo?

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

There's a Karen that I worked with in Tokyo. And I did dance with her from time to time, but the one who taught me was from Shura.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

What was Shura like?

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

. . . Complicated.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

I don't mind listening to a long explanation. Or just dropping the subject, either way.

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

[gives him a quick kiss]

I don't mind telling.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

*pulls back from that a little, a bit of an edge to his voice*

Fuuma-san...

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

So about Shura...?

[servicewitha.livejournal.com]

There are two groups in Shura. The men who guard the shrine where the statue of the god Yasha resides, and the women of the traveling acrobatic troupe who have the statue of the god Ashura that resides with them. The women only come home once a year, and until then, everything is peaceful. But once they arrive, there are earthquakes, and the statue of Yasha cries tears of blood. The men blame Ashura and the women defend him. Sometimes it gets violent, but it's usually just lots of yelling and pointing fingers. No one has any real explanations for why this happens, though.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

That sounds like quite the mystery. So you're familiar with the acrobatic troupe?
