once more and again

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Here's Milo appearing in a more lively area of the Astral Plane after this. Yeah, feel free to comment on the light show. Milo makes himself at home on Mu's hammock. He doesn't say anything, just figured he'd make an appearance. It's only polite to say hello to your friends when you come back to life after all. Or something.]

Don't.

[contract_star]

[Shuts up.]

[Then, awhile later,] Um. Your friend. He's here now. Camus.

[He shifts a bit to look at Li. He's torn between feeling some kind of fondness and just exasperation.]

Tell me you didn't miss me. That was never my intention.

[contract_star]

[Watches Milo carefully for awhile before smiling rather wickedly.]

I was too busy running around my own reality and getting stabbed to miss you. I didn't know Mu was a healer.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

And to think I missed that. I would have been able to help too.

[contract_star]

[Redirect=SUCCESS.]

Oh? Healer as well, are you?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

No, not my specialty, usually I just repair myself.

[contract_star]

Good talent to have. I would have done the same but I didn't have any thread with me.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

If I hadn't learned I would have died long ago. My master never saw it fit to stop the bleeding.

[contract_star]

...Sounds like a friendly guy.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Made killing him easier.

[contract_star]

...I never had a master.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Killing can't truly be taught anyways.

[contract_star]

No. You learn by doing. And watching. [Pause, then, deadpan,] It's a bit like cooking that way.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I never had a chance to watch cooking much.

[contract_star]

[A little lost in thought.] I think I remember watching my mother cook...the rest I just taught myself.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I learned so that I wouldn't have to eat raw meat. The rest I learned when I had nothing better to do.

[contract_star]

[Smiles absently.] I guess I learned because it was something to do that was...

...productive.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Considering how much you eat that makes sense.

[contract_star]

[Laughs.] I've been told I'll balloon out once I hit thirty.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Thirty. [Says it like he can't comprehend living until that age.]

[contract_star]

[Noncommittally,] Can't imagine it either.
