✿ 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?

[She can interrogate as much as she wishes, he has already thought up an answer that can be stated in public despite his orders to not let on that he knows his brother.]

She is. She was part of a litter of 13 kittens as far as I understand, quite the family there. She definitely has many siblings here.

How lucky for her, then. Really. She doesn't have to feel alone here with them around.

For her, that would be the case. But then one could say she is lucky for being a cat too since she won't be subjected to the experiments like we would.

That's true, but the experiments aren't all that bad, are they?

I didn't appreciate the last one at all.

Well why not? I think in retrospect it's really innocent compared to what's happened before. Maybe even a little fun?

I didn't like being turned into something defenseless.

Defenseless...? Like the cat you have right now?

Cecilia has far more ability to defend herself than I had during that. [And he should know, even her little kitten claws sure hurt when digging into his leg because the kitten wants to play with his belt again.]

That's... weird. What the heck happened to you, then?

The Malnosso seemed to think I'd make a good princess, and a defenseless one at that. [And the worst part was how a few mistook him for being female until he started talking.] I truly do not know how a woman can even move in a dress like that.

Well it depends on the type of dress and the type of figure you have, and your own balance, I think. Mind sharing those details?

I do mind sharing. [Because it is really embarrassing. No, seriously..]

I likely have been enough of a bother to you since I cannot answer your original question.

[And that wording is likely curious enough, because it's a yes or no question really. But with how complicated things are, he'd be lying with either answer.]

Not at all, what you've said so far has been pretty interesting.

... But you haven't actually answered my question yet, have you. [Don't worry Leonhardt, she noticed.]

I cannot give you a truthful answer and you deserve far more than lies from even one you have just met.

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?

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.]

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?

[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.

[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...

[At least Knives and Vash know each other's names and didn't need to go through introductions again.

Of course it does bother him how everyone always seems to want names. It was so much easier working undercover and not giving names. Oh well, at least he doesn't have to give one of his long titles here.]

Leonhardt. And you might be, miss...?

… Kaori… [She didn't like to give out her name either, especially in a place with a social climate so different from the one she grew up with that she didn't know what to make of it. But Leonhardt… seemed all right for now. Just for now.]

Nice to meet you, Leonhardt…
