[straying]

Well... I think I've resolved all the matters of my past in the last couple days, so that means I'm back in business! Also had a nice little... birthday celebration of sorts. Heh.

Speaking of which... do we technically age here? I mean, I can technically keep calling myself nineteen, right? It doesn't really matter, I guess, but indulge my curiosity.

And... well, out of these nineteen or twenty years, I don't I've ever had such a break between brawls before- that's not encouragement to start fighting in the streets, guys, but I think my aim might even be getting a little shaky. Don't need another paintball war so soon, but... maybe a tournament would be fun...

[FILTERED TO SHIRAYUKI, ZEN, AND OBI]

So~ I'm going to assume one of two things happened with your living situation. Guess number one! Zen and Shirayuki are in a hilariously awkward situation where they're living together and feel so bad about it because it's not... proper or something, right? And don't tell me you put Obi on the couch- that's just mean.

Or... two: Shirayuki's living in an apartment all by her lonesome but close enough that her two bodyguards aren't worried. Right?

Well, here's option number three~

Shirayuki, you wanna come bunk with me now that I'm heading back to my old place? It's just one floor up from Zen and Obi so they're welcome whenever. ... Well, almost whenever. I reserve the right to kick out anyone after midnight. So... whaddya say?

[FILTERED TO ZEN AND OBI]

Okay okay, I know what you're thinking- don't want your girlfriend too far or Zen'll suffer from seperation anxiety, right? Oh. And the whole safety thing.

But I'm not a top-notch sweeper for nothing so I've got her safety covered. Not to mention it'll ease your conscience so she's not all alone in a two-bedroom apartment by herself. Don't you think she might be getting lonely? We wouldn't want that, right?

So stop being so over-protective and let her give me an answer before you say no.

I'd also rather not be in his debt.

LOVE YOOOUUUU

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Heh, you won't be.

I was planning on asking that of him anyway.

... FINE I LOVE YOU TOO

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Is he going to mock me like you and Obi?

LOTS OF LOVE <3333

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not if I make the request.

... <333333

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

I'll be relying on that, then.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[She just salutes.]

Then I'll do my best to restrain him. He does a surprisingly good job of looking out for people.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Haha... just like Obi, huh?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

.... let's not add to the list of similarities.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

You were the first one to bring it up, remember.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I'm starting to regret it.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Why?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

The likenesses are getting just a little out of hand.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Well, that's hardly my fault.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but.... Really, what are the chances?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

I still call long-lost brothers.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Separated as kids, the younger of the two tossed into a different world devoid of magic.

By some twist of fate, they both grow up being suspicious and looking like bandits?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

It must be fate!

... But how do you know if Obi's younger?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

He strikes me as the younger one. Not as much experience?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

... Ouch. Have you ever said that to his face?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Nope and I don't plan to.

But I didn't mean it in a negative way! He's a lot nicer than Matthew, at least.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Of course. I wouldn't have hired him if he were a jerk, you know.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

["Tell that to Matthew's employer"--

... is what she wants to say.]

Good call on that.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

... Somehow, I feel like that could be interpreted as an insult.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Why are you so certain that I'm always determined to insult you?

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

The same reason I'm certain Obi's trying to make me miserable sometimes?
