Sanzo had just walked back into the house, shoving his pack of cigarettes and lighter into his back pocket. He watched Ginia. "Feel free to shoot our guest if he pisses you off." the monk said with a casual shrug.

[shadedsunlight]

With a cigarette and lighter borrowed from Gojyo, Ginia was smoking by the window, a clean ashtray resting on the windowsill when Sanzo came in. She cracked a small smile and shrugged back, exhaling slowly.

/I still say it's bullshit having him live here with us,/ she signed, giving a small glance out the window and tapping her cigarette against the tray.

[swearinpriest]

/I can shoot him if he pisses you off./ Sanzo slowly signed back.

[shadedsunlight]

/You can speak if it's easier for you, I don't mind,/ Ginia replied, a little surprised Sanzo had signed back at her. Of all the members in the household, Sanzo was the one she knew the least about, but she supposed he wasn't too bad even if he did bullet holes in the walls now and then.

She crushed her cigarette into the ashtray and brushed her shirt off before she looked back at Sanzo. /No need to waste bullets on him. I'll deck him if he pisses me off. Maul him if he hurts Gojyo or Hakkai./

[swearinpriest]

/Whatever./ he signed with a shrug. He pulled his pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and then offered one to her. He really wasn't one to open up to people, his own travel partners really didn't know much about him. He pulled a cigarette out of his pack and lit it. The priest inhaled the smoke gratefully.

Even if Ginia tended to only smoke under stress and most of it was gone, she took a cigarette from Sanzo and gave an appreciative nod and lit it with Gojyo's lighter. She leaned back against the wall and lightly rolled the cigarette between her fingers before inhaling, a wry smile on her face.

/...We've been living together since December and I don't know a damn thing about you aside that you like Marlboro cigarettes, have damn good aim, like mayonnaise, and the four of you are off to save the world./

[swearinpriest]

/The others don't know real much about me either./ he leaned against the wall, cigarette loose between his lips.

/Don't much care for talking about myself./

[shadedsunlight]

/Nothing wrong with that. And I'm not in the business to pry into anyone's personal life. But it's nice talking to you./

It really did feel nice to talk to him. Not that there was any new deep connection, but he didn't have to stick around and he had and he'd taken the time to sign back as well. Ginia crushed her cigarette into the ashtray and dust her clothing off again, suddenly realizing how quiet things were, the occasional moo from outside aside.

/...It's really quiet./

[swearinpriest]

Sanzo stepped over, and put his cigarette out in the ashtray. Wiping his hands off, the priest looked over at Ginia. /It is. I like it./

[shadedsunlight]

No arguments between Gojyo and Goku, no one being shot at, nothing breaking. it was quiet and as odd as it was, Ginia liked it as well. Even if she did wonder where everyone else had gone. Maybe they were skipping out on Hazel's arrival. She couldn't blame them if that was the case.

/...I think I like it too, though I wonder where everyone else is. But I should get back to cleaning before Mr. Grouse arrives. It's been nice talking to you./

[swearinpriest]

/Alright. I'll go take care of my room, maybe scrounge up some blankets for him./ Sanzo nodded to Ginia and then headed back towards his room.
