[Guess who was looking for you, Ciel? Guess. It's your buddy. Your buddy stuck in eternity's anguish with you. Funtimes.

What with her notdaughter slapping some much needed sense into her, she thought she'd pay Ciel a visit, knowing she's virtually stuck in the same situation. She knew Ciel hung out around the church a lot, although Mokou herself had never gone there before. When she found no one inside, she floated over the roof, and spotted the strange shrine.

It seems odd, to her. To erect something for someone missing. To her, at least, things like that were for the dead. Though even seeing graves made things painful. She takes a deep breath, still assuring that her useless left shirt sleeve hadn't come unknotted (because really, when you lack an arm, there's no real need for a sleeve), and took a step forward.]

Yo. Ciel?

[...!

She'll stop halfway done and turn around, blinking in surprise.]

...Mokou-san?

[She waves with her solo arm.]

Hey.

Surprise quickly turns into open frown. YOU WERE NOT MISSING AN ARM THE LAST TIME SHE SAW YOU?? >8||||

STOMPS WALKS CLOSER...]

Mokou-san, your arm! ...You went to the Post Office, didn't you?

[She blinks. And shrugs.]

Yeah. Why?

[Oh wow so much nonchalance THIS IS INFURIATING?? >8( Well no okay she looks pretty miffed but not raging...]

Why? Was it really worth losing an arm over for?

Kinda.

[hi ciel hope you weren't too concerned about the grass because your friend here bursts into flame on the spot

She's not affected, though. Her clothes and hair stay perfectly untouched, though the fire is whipping her hair back and forth with its intensity.]

[no not really thanks for asking. She does flinch a bit, but understands quickly that Mokou is pokerfacing.]

...

Better a body part than fragments of your memory, I suppose. If it's something personal that you'd rather not talk about, I would like to know at least that much as to not accidentally trigger the topic again in the future. [Because respecting ~issues~ is something she can do fully. Just don't burn down the Church in the process, Ciel would definitely object to that. >_>]

[The fire automatically extinguishes itself, and the burnt grass beneath her feet is the only evidence that the fire was even there.]

Hrm? "Something personal"...?

[...

Was that just a demonstration or has she seriously been caught off-guard?]

A leading cause to go to the Post Office is when someone doesn't feel strong enough to face the town, either for their sake or that of someone else's. Those reasons would be personal. [...] It's not your case?

[She shrugs again.]

I suppose it does make killing her easier. But I kinda just missed having it, the fire.

[sigh, true that immortals are entitled to not care as much... oh well guess she'll flip back to neutral derp.]

The inconvenience doesn't bother you? A lot of actions become restricted or plain inaccessible, if you only have one hand to go at daily tasks.

Well, it's hella annoying.

[She shrugs again.]

But I'll get it back eventually.

[Sighing as she slumps her shoulders and rubs her temple.]

If you really don't mind, I suppose that there's nothing more for me to say. But please consider your trades more if you must go back; sometimes, the losses may not be worth the gain. ...Though, I do believe that people have started to get things back again this week. Have you received anything so far, if you don't mind me asking?

[She nods, and tugs on the large bow situation on the back of her head. As opposed to the normal, plain white ones she's been wearing these last couple of months, this one (plus the other ones scattered in her hair) are decorated with red, blocky glyphs.]

Don't really have any more plans. My arm is really the only thing I want back, at this point.

[Ah, clothes. It'd feel like a waste to her, when she can just sew her own... Nevermind that she's getting some anyway. Might or might not warrant trauma trigger, at that. :V;]

That's good to hear. In the meanwhile, have you had any recurring difficulties performing any normal tasks at home? If so, do you need help? [That's... sort of a direct offer, maybe. Probably.]
