[Action]

[When Izumo finds herself back in the village post-mallynap, the first thing she does is head home--she'll talk to Rin and Shiemi if they're around, but regardless she doesn't wind up staying too long. Why? Because after searching the house, she's come to realize that the fox kit she got for Christmas is missing. Hoping he hadn't been gone for too long or gotten too far, she'll wander the village asking people if they've seen a tiny gray fox in town lately.]

[Video]

[Later in the day Izumo sits in her room, making sure to keep the fox close now that she's retrieved him--after a lot of searching, she found him with Ran Fan.]

I've had a long day and I don't think going to the library would do me much good anyway, so I'm just going to ask--does anyone know what kinds of foods are best to eat when you can't smell?

[Izumo lets out a sigh, pausing for a minute as the baby fox tries to crawl up her and onto her shoulder...which frankly wouldn't make a very good perch for him.] Get down...

[Grabbing him and placing him in her lap, she returns her focus to her journal.]

...Anyway, before anyone stupid asks? Yes, smell and taste are connected.

Asking is one thing. Admitting that kind of a mushy thing to everyone in the city is just embarrassing. Besides, if Ace or someone like that saw it they'd just use it as an excuse to try to get me to make more friends.

It's like exercise. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's okay, and there are some benefits and all, but being forced to do it is still a pain in the ass.

[bossybrows]

You're trying to force me to do it.

[Hypocrite alert! As far as she's concerned, anyway.]

[fierybluebird]

No, I haven't even dragged you to parties or anything. Even Ikki's dog forces him to make friends more than I'm forcing you.

I'm just telling you an unfortunate truth.

There's something to be said for having very few friends, but there's nothing good to be said for having none at all.

[bossybrows]

I have one. That's good enough for me.

[fierybluebird]

So long as you're happy with that, eh?

[Locked 50%]

[bossybrows]

I'm more than fine with it.

[fierybluebird]

You sure sound like it, eh. [All the deadpan.]

[bossybrows]

What are you implying?

[Locked 50%]

[fierybluebird]

Nothing. What implications in my words are you hearing?

[It should be noted here that Marco is a) a liar, and b) thoroughly enjoys using his deadpan lies to joke around. Good luck Izumo.]

[Hmmmmm...]

...I don't trust you. Don't think this conversation means anything.

[Locked 50%]

[fierybluebird]

[He laughs.]

I wouldn't trust me either so don't worry.

[bossybrows]

You're strange, you know that?

[Locked 50%]

[fierybluebird]

I know. I like it that way. It's part of my flair.
