…. Hmm. I see. So, this is where fate has lead me. Something like this is enough to help prevent boredom for lifetimes to come. I can only imagine the looks on those goat’s faces when they can’t find me now. … There are times when Child of Men do not differ so greatly from what many have come to know as witches. [ there’s a giggle on her end. ] The moment they find something interesting, they eat at it as if they’ll starve unless they are fed what will prevent them from boredom. It’s what I’ve written for them that seems to provide that mindless entertainment.

[ Her tone falls. ] I will admit that this isn’t an ideal vacation. …. With that said... Children of Man... Tell me about this place. What stories can be told of this world?

Oh, but if you don’t want to talk about that, I’m not always so picky about conversation topics. … Yes. If not about this place, then tell me of your own stories.

Sounds just great. [ her tone is still fairly dry and deadpan, as if she's trying her best to just not show more than that. ]

Guess I'll have something to look forward to then if I ever get out of this place.

[ although that's mostly just a joke too - if she had a choice, she would rather remain here. ]
repudiate: (so in love with the wrong world)

Yeah, I'm pretty popular, hadn't you heard yet? They're lining up to play around with me, I'm so lucky.

[ drenched in its usual sarcasm, of course, although there's something slightly more surprising at that last part. ]

Wait, does that whole Miko business still apply here?

Am I supposed to take that as a compliment, or..? [ not that she particularly cares either way, judging from her tone - besides, she's already used to this much from this woman. ]

You didn't say so, but I figured all you told me to do was just read you that story, right? We finished it back home and then I've already been stuck here for this long, so I thought it was way past already.

[ 'even for you'... thanks sister in law.. ]

So you're saying I just have to be good and do a few chores for you so I can earn stamps on my card, and when it's full I can trade it in at the witches' merchandise shop, huh? Sure, it sounds like a completely appropriate activity for someone my age.

I have a feeling that it's not like I'll have much of a choice either way, so.. sure, I guess. It can't be any worse than some of the stuff I've already done back home.

As long as I don't have to get your groceries for you or something.

I'm not sure if I fully trust it when you assure me it's better, but.. go ahead and tell me about it, if you're so sure.
repudiate: (and i suddenly feel like)

So you're just randomly going to call on me for a favor sooner or later? I'm not entirely sure if I like the sound of this plan anymore, but I guess I'll go along with it for now.

[ sorry but no one will ever beat ikuko's cat pee odor ]

Great, I'll make sure to treasure that promise. Hang it up on the wall in a nice frame.
