I’m afraid that the clothing shop is going to continue to have irregular hours for the time being, but I’ll let people know when we’re back to a regular schedule.

If it’s an emergency, let me know--I’ll be happy to have my errand boy or one of the various clothing shop minions help you out.

You are all right, B Yoruichi?

[felinemystique]

Oh, I'm fine. I just need a bit of a break after last month.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh. Yes. There was a lot going on. These last days have seemed more quiet! There have only been vines, I think.

[felinemystique]

...yes, the vines. They're rather...needy.

But still, like you said, less trouble than last month.

[spandexisyouth]

...Needy?

It is nice to have just one thing, I think, but it makes me wonder about some other things.

[felinemystique]

Oh, you know--following people around, tugging at their arms and legs.

I don't blame you; it was definitely out of the ordinary. I've never heard of anything like it happening before.

[spandexisyouth]

I see! I have not had that happen yet. I think I am lucky.

No. I do not suppose you have.

[felinemystique]

Well, they're not hard to deal with--just annoying.

[raises an eyebrow a bit at his phrasing]

It could simply just be a hiccup before things go back to normal...it's a little early to tell, though.

[spandexisyouth]

Something that is not hard to deal with is a relief.

[The phrasing was purposeful. He's pretty sure of what he believes he knows.]

I think [Pentaps] Maybe. But I believe it is done now.

[felinemystique]

I hope you're right. But I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

[She has her suspicions, but is reserving judgment for the time being, satisfied to simply observe a bit longer.]

But it sounds like you made it out of February in relatively good shape, at least.

[spandexisyouth]

We will. I am sure.

There were two good things that happened to counter the one bad thing that happened. I am content. How did you fare?

[felinemystique]

I was relatively unscathed, but my friends weren't as lucky. So I spent a lot of time running around.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh. Yes. There was a lot of running around for me as well. I was speaking of things that just happened to me, but nothing does happen to just one person.

[felinemystique]

It doesn't, does it? Considering what others have been through, I still count myself fortunate--even if I didn't think so at the time.

[spandexisyouth]

I feel the same way. And it is also fulfilling to be there for others when they need someone.
