Theft Twenty-Eight

[Youko is staring out the window, looking at the dark city. He smirks.]

It seems there was a lot of excitement last night.

And no one invited me.

I have thought on it for awhile and cannot come up with a suitable answer.

How do you poison someone who does not need to eat?

[Filter;]

[demonfoxthief]

There are several different ways, but why? Who do you want to poison?

[Filter;]

[discardedwish]

Understood, whichever is the most effective would be kind. The one who hurt Aniki. I am supposed to be kind and forgive him, because anger is the easiest emotion to feel when something has happened, but I feel like I have to punish him before I can forgive him.

[demonfoxthief]

Aniki?

[Filter;]

[discardedwish]

He's not really my older brother and I do not wish to share my parents -- I enjoy being an only child. I merely call him Aniki.

[demonfoxthief]

Right.

...I could give you something - but then again, there is the danger that you could be affected by it, as well.

[Filter;]

[discardedwish]

I suppose that is always the danger of working with poisons, is it not?

[Filter;]

[demonfoxthief]

This is true.

[Filter;]

[discardedwish]

Does that mean you're in danger of this as well, Uncle?

[Filter;]

[demonfoxthief]

Mmm? Not really. I have immunity to most poisons.

[Filter;]

[discardedwish]

I see.

How lucky. I do not believe I have such an immunity.

[Filter;]

[demonfoxthief]

Yes.

[Filter;]

[discardedwish]

Could you give me something that I could not accidentally poison myself with?

[Filter;]

[demonfoxthief]

Probably not, if he doesn't eat.

[Filter;]

[discardedwish]

I shall have to think of something else, then. I thank you, Uncle.
