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.]

Oh?

[so_shik]

A lot of people asked me about it.

[soundfrequency]

...how many people?

[so_shik]

I dunno, like a lot. Probably like ten or so, give or take a few.

[soundfrequency]

...

Oh.

[so_shik]

I just wanted to give Minato his jacket back.

[soundfrequency]

[Just nods. And really hopes this goes over soon.]

[so_shik]

[Just walking...hmm...subject-change!]

So, guess what's in a few days.

[soundfrequency]

...hm?

[so_shik]

My birthday's on the second.

[soundfrequency]

Oh, that's right.

[so_shik]

I almost forgot, but then I was counting days and figured it out.

[soundfrequency]

How did you almost forget?

[so_shik]

I got busy, I guess. I should really just keep a copy of that calendar that guy made in my room somewhere.

[soundfrequency]

Yeah, maybe.

[so_shik]

So, what'd you get me? [She's just kidding, but she wants to see what he does]

[soundfrequency]

You'll find out in a few days.

[so_shik]

...wait, what?

[soundfrequency]

...what?

[Doesn't get why she's surprised.]

[so_shik]

...you're serious? You didn't have to, I was totally just kidding.

[soundfrequency]

I know, but I wanted to.

[so_shik]

...thanks. [No, she's not slightly embarrassed, shut up.]

[soundfrequency]

You don't have to thank me.

[so_shik]

I know, but I wanted to.

[soundfrequency]

[Squeezes her hand a bit. Fff, I think this is the first time he's been affectionate in a while, too.]
