[A muggy, humid dusk has fallen over this courtyard; it's the kind of humidity that makes the clothes stick to your skin and your hair cling to your neck. It won't last much longer, though: there are storm clouds in the sky, gathering for a nighttime downpour, and thunder rolling in the distance. It's only a matter of time until the sky breaks open

[Miranda often enjoyed walking in the rain. There was something about it that she just adored. When she noticed Kanda she strolled on up to her, bringing her umbrella down once she was under cover.]

Kanda?... What are you doing out here in this kind of weather?

[Not that it was that bad. It only just started raining.]

[lastnightswish]

[Leans against the railing, looking out at the rain.]

I could ask the same of you.

[fallenkeytotime]

It clears my mind...

[lastnightswish]

[Nods her head. A silent, "Well, there you have it." Have a long, long pause.]

It's a girl.

[fallenkeytotime]

[It takes her a moment to register what she meant, but when she figures it out all she does it smile.]

Really? How exciting.

[lastnightswish]

Tch. [Looking away again.] I wish it would just get here already.

[fallenkeytotime]

[She chuckles lightly.]

It is a long process... But be patient. Its all you can do.

[lastnightswish]

Its father's here. He's taking it when it's born.

[fallenkeytotime]

[Her expression falls. Its that disappointment she didn't want.]

Are you sure he will be able to take care of it?... He did a good job taking care of you for the first few months...

[lastnightswish]

I don't need anyone to take care of me. It'll be fine.

[Miranda's always had problems with trust. And of course this doesn't agree with her at all. If Lavi left once he could easily do it again... Since when can Bookmen take care of children without them growing up to be an apprentice?...

For once... She wont fight. She would never win.]

If that's what you've decided...

[lastnightswish]

He said he'll take it with him on his travels. Let it see the world.

[fallenkeytotime]

A newborn shouldn't travel... The constant changes would be overwhelming for such a small mind...

[lastnightswish]

[Shrug.] I'm sure he knows that.

[fallenkeytotime]

Then... Then why did he say he'd take it on his travels?... Wouldn't he say something more convincing?...

[lastnightswish]

That's for you to ask him; I'm sure he'll wait until its old enough to start traveling.
