Thirty-Eighth Spool of Thread-[Voice/Action]

[Shiki's been pretty quiet lately ever since Rosalie disappeared, but she knew she had to keep moving on. Business wasn't going to take care of itself, after all. Lately she's been a bit wary about Neku too, and there's all the stuff with Haruki that's been going on, so a distraction? She'd totally take it.]

So hey. Question! How many of you know how to sew? I think I've got a really good idea going, but I want to make sure. And...yeah, never mind, just that question.

[Filtered to Minato]

Soooo...I've kind of got a weird question for you, and you might think it's really awkward but...just come over. At the shop.

[/filter]

[And thus...there is a Shiki. At her shop. Bundled up in what appears to be a Mr. Mew modeled hoodie complete with kitty ears on the hood and little paw-like mittens attached to her sleeves. Stupid cold.]

[Edited about an hour later...]

I guess I should be asking how many of you know how to and how many of you would want to learn. Oops.

[that's difficult to answer simply. But he can see where this is leading]

Is Neku-kun having trouble?

...Neku won't have sex with me again because I'm back in Eri's body! [This is all said rather quickly and sort of jumbled together, because normally she'd ask Haruki but Haruki's been Haruki and doing his own thing, so Minato's a good alternative too.]

[that's pretty much what he'd expected to hear.]

He's probably worried about you.

Worried about what though? He wasn't worried about it when we actually did it.

That you'll think he likes Eri's body more than yours.

...[That's a possibility she didn't think on.] Maybe, but I know he likes my real body better...we kind of fought about it.

Did you tell him that?

Well not exactly...we've talked about that before, too.

After you changed back?

[shiki are you failing at communication again]

Well...kinda. Sort of? [Except not really.] Does that really have to be spelled out?

I would let him know how you feel. [...] And then give him space until he accepts it.

...what do you mean by 'give him space'.

[he knows that look :\] He has to get comfortable with the idea.

...oh. That. So really I shouldn't bug him about it. [You know, besides the fact she already did. Minato always confirms stuff that she shouldn't do.]

He'll come around eventually.

[no teenage boy will give up on getting some from his girlfriend forever.]

[Yeah but Neku's a hermit and Shiki kinda tops. End of story.] Probably. We've been dating for over a year now, this...shouldn't even be a big deal.

[a hermit who is a boy.] All relationships have things to work out.

[...good point.] Still. Ugh, I don't even know what keeps happening! Maybe I'll just leave it alone until he brings it up. Whenever that is.

Sometimes that's all you can do.

[He'd had that issue with Chie.... but that was mostly because their relationship began in disaster.]

If you say so. You know I trust your judgment on this kind of thing. [And she's even being polite enough not to mention his past relationships.] Still, waiting sucks.

It does.

[he smiles a little, to say he understands.] But you have other things to work on now, right?

Yeah...[And suddenly she lights up, like she remembers something else.] Hey, yeah! Minato! [And here she gives her most endearing grin possible.] Interested in brushing up on your sewing skills?
