Just as long as it's not Selphie turn next...
Nooooooo no no no no no no no! You don't wanna read that Mikleo. You really, really don't wanna read it. Choose Your Own Adventure books are the best! You should try those out sometime.
[Selphie really is of a mind to burn 'Born to be Bound' as she will stubbornly refuse to relinquish it if they demand its return. When the conversation turns back to the perky brunette's reason for being in those caves though, she relaxes and smiles softly.]
Jade for always answering my questions and helping me out when I first took over Cuppa Kupo from Anise and Rukia for looking after me last week when you didn't have to.
But I think some things you have to see up close so I think this is one of those times.
Selphie in the middle ~
[ He stared at the book with an incredulous look for a moment. Somehow the title itself was telling him not to delve into it. He probably won't for his own sanity but the boy can't help but be curious at what was inside it. He stared at her for a moment before replying. ]
I see, so you rather like stories of adventures and fantasy.
[ He wasn't in any way insulting her or anything. He's merely making an observation as he nods his head. ]
It has a rather intriguing title. I am rather curious of what the contents are.
[ He puts a hand under his chin as he held the book in his hand at the stammering of Selphie. Choose Your Own Adventure, books? Humans surely have a huge imagination. Then again he rather loved folklore and the Celestial Record was something he buried his face in. It was a factual piece of work in the end but before it was only telling of legends. He was content in finding that the legends were reality. ]
I see.
no subject
[Rukia just takes it right back out of the pack, brushing it off with her fingers. Mikleo is an adult, he can make his own decisions about what he wants to read. Besides, if it's not his thing, she needs to return it to the library like the responsible patron that she is.]
[She also might be trying to think of a way to hide it in Jade's things later just to get back at him for making him spit her coffee all over the lab.]
[Speaking of Jade, she's a little surprised to hear that he lent Selphie a hand at the Cuppa Kupo. That's kind of him. So that's why he was moving about as a waiter...! She snaps back to the discussion at hand, glancing between the two.]
Well, there's a summary on the back. You can see for yourself if it's your type of book.
[Flipping it over, she passes the novel to Mikleo before loosely holding her knees.]
This is a strange place. I wonder why it's so heavily populated with reanimated corpses. What could they possibly hope to find down here? How did they get here in the first place? It's perplexing.
no subject
[Selphie's about to protest Rukia going through her own pack after confiscating the book when the conversation turns to the matter at hand. Her arms wrap around her torso as she looks at their surroundings with trepidation. She wasn't too keen on these caves and would be tickled pink to leave them.]
Well, we are underneath a giant crystal tree. It doesn't help with the creepiness of this place though. I think we'll be okay if we all stick together. Safety in numbers and all that jazz.
no subject
I’ll—make sure to look into it before I make any decisions. Thank you, Rukia.
[ He manages a bit of a smile and a laugh at the two of them. They are good friends. He’ll admit that much. ]
I’m not entirely sure but a place with reanimated corpses seems to be hiding something if you ask me. People usually use such methods to keep people out. If we don’t let it get to us, we can pursue the answers that we seek.
[ Mikleo points out in an almost sage like way. For a boy, he has a way with words. He outs the book away in his bag for the time being. ]
Indeed. I think it is better for all of us if we remain together.
no subject
[Her brow knits, for the presence of any sort of undead is enough to trouble a soul reaper.]
I wonder if someone placed them here intentionally, or if they're remnants of battles long since passed. There are certainly plenty of clues to indicate that there is a history of strife within these tunnels. I wonder.
[The problem is, there's no one they can ask who truly knows. The sage might, but he's been so reluctant to explain anything, she doubts there's any point in asking him. Rukia sighs.]
ugh, fail tag is fail...
Well, we came here for a reason and we're not gonna let a bunch of undead get in our way. They're trying to keep us from something, that's for sure.
all good no worries
[ He muses as he places a hand under his chin. He looks off for a moment before replying to Rukia again. He thinks that it might be the case. After all, since people only want to create danger to shield a secret. At least, that's what he's been learning. ]
So I've heard. We'll be able to learn more about everything, including all the cycles.
[ Mikleo gives Selphie a worried look for her frown. ]
No, we'll fight our way through if we have to. I believe we'll get more answers from moving forward than withdrawing at this point.
no subject
[Rukia nods to the both of them, solemn and serious.]
Would that I knew more about this world to divine the appropriate answers to our questions. It's fortunate that we have those with us who are more knowledgeable, like Jade and Sparks. They may be able to connect some of the fragments together that we could not.
[She shifts her legs to the side, leaning on one hand.]
We should also get some rest soon, especially if we have guard duty tonight.
no subject
[ Selphie scowls at the mention of guard duty. She hadn't lucked out with the watch shifts at all. ]
I never thought I'd be doing guard duty or camping out with friends again while saving the world. We'll get to the bottom of this together.
no subject
[ He nods to her words as well. ]
I want to be able to assist with the matter as well. I can take the first shift guarding if you want.
[ He offers Rukia as she suggests they rest. Seraphim didn't need too much rest and Mikleo seems to think his human body can manage it. ]
It's not like we have much of a choice considering the threats that are wandering about at night. It will be alright, Selphie.
no subject
Jade is the one in charge of assigning guard duty shifts. If he hasn't approached you about it, I wouldn't worry too much. But I'm glad you're willing to help.
[They're both shining examples of how a young brave Hero should be.]
Rest well. I'll see you both in the morning.
[Or whatever passes for morning in these caves.]
