The trees here are unusual. Usually it takes a lot longer for a sapling grow this much. ...Well, whatever.

[A pause, followed by the light clink of glasses in the background.]

Ah, that's right. Just a fair warning. Just because Shinjiro is out doesn't mean there's going to be sudden change in policy. I'm not doing anyone any special favors, so expect for pay for your drinks in full.

That means you, Ichinomiya Kantarou.

I'll be here throughout the week, so don't wait up for me. There is someone that I would like to introduce to you though.

It's strange that I'm actually getting used to this.

No body guard duties or odd jobs, no fighting youkai and yuurei and not having to face that bastard Minamoto at almost every sign of the worst trouble. It gets dull sometimes, but... there's still something.

Hmph. What am I even talking about...?

It's already depressing enough for those of us who have.

Only spare what you can afford to. I doubt that a few drinks are worth the same as a life.

Hey, I'm not all that reckless! Have you been talking to Hisoka or something?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I like to cover my bases.

I haven't even DONE anything to deserve that kind of reputation. ...at least not here.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Don't read into it too deeply.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...Right.
