[straying]

[It's been too quiet for too long, Vatheon. So maybe that's why-]

I have fooooood~!!

[Saya? Yes. Bouncing? Yes. Holding a basket of... well, food? Yes.]

So apparently I was out cold for weeks, but look! Enough goodies and pastries and sweets to make up for all that lost time! Oh man, oh man! Whoooooo's the luckiest cat? Why, I'm the luckiest cat, thanks for asking!

[giggles and she smiles brightly]

Okay, so! Guys, you've gotta help me! I don't have enough room in my fridge for all this and I've still gotta eat dinner later! Anyone want to lend a girl a hand~?

Yeah, that's right folks, Saya Minatsuki is back in action!

[filtered to Masamune]

Speaking of dinner! Let's go? Later? Maybe~? If you don't have anything better to do.

[filtered to Train]

Never speak to me again.

[filtered to Demyx]

Well hey there, Dem. Didja miss me?

[filtered to Katsu]

Hey... Thank your brother for me, okay?

[filtered to Naoya]

You're good to me, you know that? 

Anyway~ Wanna take a walk later? I've seen enough of Matthew to last me a lifetime-

So can I count on you to fill me in instead of him?

Funny. Not too many people would be curious about a corpse.

But hey, you're free to ask any questions you've got. Seems like introductions aren't even necessary.

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

Well, aside from the novel curiosity of talking to a dead person, not too many corpses are able to completely transform a legendary assassin into a...

[There's really only one word of description for this.]

...Train.

[She pauses.]

So I figure you must be worth the time to talk to.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[... pfffahahaha. She can't help but laugh at that one.]

But Rins, you don't have nearly as many issues as Train did or does.

So I'm a little perplexed about why you want to talk to me!

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[Because she has about a billion questions -- what were you and Train to each other. What was he like back then. What did you do to change him so much. Was he in love with you.

Of course, most of those are things she'd never ask. But she's not a master information gathering for nothing. She smirks ever so slightly.]

So you only talk to people who have issues?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Sure do.

[A laugh and a smile.]

Everyone has some sort of issue and I do like talking to as many people I can.

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[Clever deflection. She's game.]

I suppose we have that in common, then.

[Well, it's not so much as she likes talking to people as much as she likes the information it gets her. Information is ammunition, after all.]

You're a sweeper, correct?

[Or was, rather? Rins already knows the answer to this question, of course. She looked up everything she could on Saya Minatsuki as soon as she could after the Creed incident.]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Thumbs-up!]

Correct! My... life's calling.

[Oh, irony. She can't help but laugh, too.]

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

It's not many women who have the balls to go into such a profession. How did you get started?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Curiosity and idle hands are the devil's playthings.

Decided my hands shouldn't be so idle anymore.

[It's more interesting if she avoids direct answers.]

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[It is. Luckily Rins likes interesting. Mental note: Saya is a master of deflection. This is turning out to be an enjoyable challenge.]

And the curiosity?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

You mean you don't think it's an interesting gig?

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs.]

Seems interesting enough to me. Not enough reward for me, personally, but to each their own.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[she can't help but laugh]

Really...? Wow, you must be an even bigger spender than I was! That's rather rare.

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[She grins.]

What can I say? I like the finer things in life. And you?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Fine dining for sure! [a laugh] I won't say no to some nice clothes either. Leisure days~ Even a sweeper's gotta relax now and then!

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[Huh. Besides the info on Train she wants, Rins is surprised to find herself genuinely liking the girl. If she's stuck here anyway...]

I agree. It's important to pamper yourself with demanding work like ours. Tell me, how is the shopping here?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Perfection! Especially considering that everything's free. Nab what you want and go.

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

That does sound like my style. So what else do you do to keep yourself entertained here? It doesn't seem like there's any work for any of us.

[Rins may be a master thief, but she only steals from rich narcissists who gain their fortunes off the backs of others. Or the government, which is the same thing. She's not stealing from normal people.]

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Her answer is immediate-]

Competition competition competition~

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[Without even noticing, Rins breaks into a genuine grin.]

Now that sounds like my idea of fun.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

[Here Rins, she'll be a lot more honest about it-]

Oooh, I like you!

[thiefer.livejournal.com]

[Huh. The girl is disarmingly charming. She must take notes. It's not in her tsun nature to ever directly admit she likes someone, but she does give a genuine, beaming smile.]

Well, then we should team up sometime, shouldn't we? Give the boys a run for their money.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Oooh! That sounds like fun. [She laughs and nods.] Perfect, really. I've been wanting to take on Train in all his sweeperly glory and I know just the thief that would be up for a little bit of fun. Think you could handle him, Rins?
