Um... I'm not available right now, so leave a message, I guess! I'll get back to you when I have a chance.

[He doesn't answer right away. He's plainly not happy about the task he's been given. Instead, he heads over to the counter for a candy.]

[dreiwuensche]

[ She follows, busting out her CP card. ]

Someday I'll be able to afford one for both of us.

[birdinhand]

I can handle this myself. [That came out a little harsher than he'd intended.]

[dreiwuensche]

I know, but...

[ She just wants to do something for him. Help him out a bit.

She pays for her candy and hula hoop. Great, now she has a hula hoop. ]

[birdinhand]

[He's still poking around. He glances back at her looking something like remorseful for that but he doesn't say anything further.]

Do you know anything about seances? [Talk about non-sequitur.]

[dreiwuensche]

Seances? Not really. They're kind of spooky. Why?

[birdinhand]

I'm supposed to do a seance over a demon summoning circle made out of melted popsicles. For my 30,000. It's so stupid.

[dreiwuensche]

[ She blinks in surprise. And then she giggles. ]

That sounds like a lot of fun, Ankh!

[birdinhand]

It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of! And a waste of popsicles.

[dreiwuensche]

Well, the President said that she'd loan this to me as long as I return it by the end of the day. [ Hina holds up the hula hoop. ] Maybe she'd do the same for you?

[birdinhand]

I'm supposed to melt them. I don't think a loan would work.

[dreiwuensche]

Oh, I guess not.

[birdinhand]

[Huffs. And now he's distracted by hair stuff.]

[dreiwuensche]

[ Hina smiles when she sees what he's looking at. ]

You know, it's still kind of weird, but I think that hairstyle looks good on you.

[birdinhand]

[He smirks over at her.] Not the kind of thing you'd expect out of me?

[dreiwuensche]

It's just really new.

[birdinhand]

You're still as cute as you were before I left.

[dreiwuensche]

Oh, Shingo... [ She shoves his arm in faux-embarrassment. ]

[birdinhand]

[Whoops, he's still not used to her strength. He topples over into a shelf and onto the floor.]

[dreiwuensche]

Oh no--

[ She crouches beside him. ]

Shingo?! Are you okay?

[birdinhand]

[Looking up at her with a slightly spooked look that passes for embarrassed.] Yeah, I'm fine.

[dreiwuensche]

[ She grins sheepishly and holds a hand out to help him up. ]

Sorry. Here...

[birdinhand]

[He lets her help him up.] How I could have forgotten how strong you are...

[dreiwuensche]

I've been trying to keep it under control. It's not really anything special compared to what some people can do.

[birdinhand]

[The way she says that bothers him but he can't quite get the thought together.]

I should get to the courtyard... I'm supposed to clear the snow...
