saint seiya (d2) aries mu

[Oh! It's a Mu! He's dressed rather nicely today - a bit more formal than usual, and his hair is up somewhat elaborately. He looks pleased. He's also carrying a big tin of...something, but it smells really damn good]

I don't suppose anyone here has a sweet tooth? Camus sent me off with all the leftover baklava from dinner, and there's far more here than I could ever eat, even with Kiki's help.

Would you like some?

[Have a very happy Hei!.]

Y-yes, please! Thank you!

[Takes one and munches.]

[Mouth full,] Mmm, I haven't had baklava in years...

No? I get some now and then when Milo makes a few batches. I do enjoy it, but I simply have too much - I'd hate for it to go to waste.

It's hard to find in Tokyo, though I might not be looking in the right places. The last time I had baklava was when I was in Europe on assignment.

[Enthusiastic nod.] Food should never go to waste!

[Finishes the pastry and licks honey off his fingers, eying the tin again.] This Milo must be a genius. That was delicious.

[Awkward smile. Isn't used to people being nice to him for real.] ...Thanks.

I know someone who lives around the Tokyo area...if he stops by again, perhaps I will ask him if it's possible to find there.

It's the only thing Milo can make without burning down the kitchen. It's also the only thing he can focus on for more than thirty seconds at a time.

[offers more] You're quite welcome.

Oh good! I met at least one other person here who is from Japan--Hashimoto Fumie. But she didn't seem to know about the Gate either, so I don't think...

[Pauses to ponder. Looks up at the stars.] Mu, are there any two people here who are from the same...reality?

[The smell of baklava drags him back. Takes another one and it's gone in about three seconds. Then he gestures at Mu's outfit.] Special occasion?

[Thinks about it a moment] I believe that Sam Tyler and his "Guv" are from similar, if not the very same realities. I'm not familiar with the details however.

[Smiles and has a piece himself, offering yet another to Hei] Indeed. It was my friend Camus' twenty-first birthday today.

I've met Mr. Tyler. Not this "Guv" person though. [Thinking.] Similar but not the same, huh...

[Smiles back and takes a third piece.] Good for him, then.

As far as I know, that seems to be the case.

Well, I get to tease him about being old for a month at least.

That's interesting. I also found out that not only can the people in my...my Tokyo not see the Twins' shop, they also can't see anything I bring from the Astral Plane. A guy named Luffy gave me a gold piece from his world, and none of my comrades could see it. Is that the case for everyone?

Old? [Chuckling.] Makes sense, I suppose. I'm about your friend's age, and sometimes I feel old.

Not even when you're holding it directly?

[Smiles] Of the eleven of us, five were born in the same year - Camus, myself, Aldebaran, Aioria, Shaka and Milo. We sometimes tease Camus for being the eldest among us.

You're only as old as you feel, Hei.

Well I was, but...oh, wait. I dropped it into Yin's hand, but she couldn't even feel it there. She's blind, so of course she wouldn't have been able to see it in my hand. Mao just looked at me like I was crazy. So you need to be in physical contact with the object...

Who's "us," if you don't mind me asking? You and your friends?

...

...

...Mind reader. Right. [Looks away, rubbing the back of his head.] Understand, it's nothing personal. I'm a liar by nature.

That seems to be the case, as nobody could see the gold coin Luffy gave to me, either, unless I held it.

That's right. There are eleven of us plus Kiki.

Did I....Oh I'm sorry. I take no offense. It's a way to protect yourself, I suppose.

...It's alright, I suppose, since you're not from my world.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't spread that name around, though...

I will not. It is your secret, and I've no right to share it.

[And definitely not used to that, so he's trying his best not to look surprised.]

...Thanks.
