✿ Ninth Bud [strange scribbles/voice]

[With a frustrated sigh, Kaori abandons the poor attempt at communication by scratching the surface of the pen across the whole page, eventually ripping it out. It was stupid to think that just because she was able to write perfectly fine a week ago, she would be able to for a while now that she was back to normal. Things didn't work that way.

So much for trying to be anonymous about this and avoiding talking to people more than she has to, but she still wanted answers to her question anyway. Pausing for a deep breath, she dives right in.]

Is anyone out there lucky enough to have their brother or sister here?

Ah... [That's... a first, she hadn't expected him to be honest, least of all seem considerate. It felt strange to hear that.]

I... see... Thank you, I guess?

So does that mean you like me better the way I am now than when I was a kid, Masaomi?

There's nothing you can do about the things that happen here, no matter how powerful you are. If someone tried to kidnap my brothers back home, those assholes would be dead.

My apologies. I will be sure to keep my kitten away from the journal in the future. [Because now someone who is likely snooping right now heard too much, but a sudden filter would have revealed just as much as avoidance of the question.]

At the very least, you have more sex appeal.

[Slightly embarrassed at being called a good big brother.]

He's been here a couple years, but I came about a month ago.

.......Of course I do. I meant what I said, while you were small. [Didn't one always want to keep family close?]

But I understand the house can be a little.... overwhelming, at times.

Does that mean you're going to give up anyway?

That's okay, I don't really mind. [Since he seemed so courteous and honest, she won't push him further if this was something he didn't want to discuss so openly.]

Would your answer be different if we were talking face-to-face?

[... And that makes her smile, to have that confirmed once again.]

... I meant what I said then, too...

... Wha?! [How the heck does that happen?!]

That's just mean! You ditched him for years?!

Sex appeal...? [.... Masaomi, what the hell.]

I'll... tell Freyjadour and Zan'nen that, I guess...

[He'd say yes here, but he also knows very well that he and his brother have quite the tendency to spy on each other. Really, they have problems.]

I can make no promises.

...Why them?

Wha-- no! He arrived in Luceti a few years ago! Neither of us ditched each other. But I guess time still passed while I was in our world. I saw him just before I came here. And that was one month ago.

[That answer was enough to tell her that whatever his answer was, he couldn't talk about it. Just as it was with Vash and Knives...]

... I see... thank you, mister...

So you have one of those weird cases where you know each other but time has passed between you. Really, Malnosso... [To mess with time like that!]

Have you had a chance to catch up in one month?

Because Freyjadour is my brother, remember? And I guess Zan'nen is, too, I'm not really sure about him or what he thinks... Ceodore too, actually...

Well, when I saw him before I came, we caught up....a little.

But in the past month, we've definitely had time to catch up!

I don't... you don't- I'm sure that's something to talk to brothers about?

........I'm glad. I really hoped you did. [Because she had never said it before, at her real age. So such a confirmation..... It meant a lot.]

Hell no. [Even knowing what he knew, he'd always try. Always. He's too darn stubborn not to.] But if I can't stop them from being kidnapped and experimented on, I don't want them here. You're right, whatever happens when they return might not be so bad, but what if it is? These things wouldn't happen normally.

[And maybe that's his biggest problem with it. Their presence here is imply unnatural.]

Okay... [She feels around for a place to sit down until she finds one of the soft benches of the waiting room, deciding to rest there. There wasn't much point in putting in so much effort to hide her blindness while in her own apartment, and with someone she trusts.]

Can you tell me how long I was gone, Mithos...?

... That makes me happy... E'thaji... [It felt a little strange to say that out loud now that she was her real age. While she had thought it, she had never had any intention about telling Frey how highly she thought of him before their talk not so long ago. The little girl of then and the person she is now are very different from each other, after all.]

So... how have you been?

I'm happy, too. [To hear her call him 'brother' again makes him even happier.]

I've been ok. The village has been peaceful so far this month. [Though, thinking about last year........ The next question is said with worry clear in his tone.]

...Are you sure you don't want to stay at the house? I mean.....

[If people start hallucinating again and getting their wings plucked he didn't want Kaori to be alone.]
