Thirtieth Spool of Thread

[so_shik]

[Determined to return Minato's jacket that he let her borrow to get home, Shiki's out walking through town carrying the jacket. It's been cleaned and all, but she's got it folded up instead of wearing it.

What is she wearing? Her boots, her hat...and that's just about it. Shiki's decided that leading a fashion protest is in her best interests. People should recognize inner beauty before clothes after all.

For the love of everything, please stop her and make her put clothes on.]

[Minato is at home, if Shiki actually makes it that far...]

[so_shik]

[Oh eventually she does. And she'll just wander in, because this is what Shiki does. Minato where are you~]

[The scene in the living room is basically this. Instead of a cat, though, one of Tori-san's children is sitting on his head. It gives Shiki a beady stare, then flies off chirping when she enters the room.

Also there was a Nyx symbol on the front door, but there's none drawn inside the house. There is probably evidence of Fina's belly-dancing class around, however.]

...[Shiki just eyes the bird warily as it flies away. She doesn't really know what to do about them. Instead, she'll head over to where Minato is and gently prod him in the head with her hand]

[emp3thy]

Hm?

[He opens his eyes, blinking sleepily for a moment... ...and then very quickly sits up and turns his head away, considering what was just at his eye level] Shiki?

[so_shik]

Do you usually allow birds to sleep in your hair, Minato?

[emp3thy]

Sometimes.

[so_shik]

...why?

[emp3thy]

They feel like it.

[so_shik]

That's still kind of weird, you know. [But that's not the issue here!] I brought your jacket back. Cleaned and everything.

[emp3thy]

I gave it so you'd wear it.

[so_shik]

And I did. To get home. So now I'm returning it, see where I'm going with this?

[emp3thy]

But now you're not home and still not wearing anything.

[so_shik]

Minato...Minato, Minato, Minato. I'm just working to prove a point.

[emp3thy]

It's been proven.

[so_shik]

Good. Now I can go back to the house and be satisfied with a job well done.

[emp3thy]

Then please stay in your house.

[so_shik]

I'm heading back, seriously.

[emp3thy]

Put something on first?

[so_shik]

I'm running back, I'll be there faster than people can even see me.

[emp3thy]

[No, Shiki, that just means you're streaking.]

...Be careful.

[so_shik]

I will.
