[Well, Luceti. We have come to the twenty first and as such on this last day of AUs, someone who had been avoiding them for the whole time is now taken by then... albeit they don't know it, as per everyone else. That is to say...

Haruhi Suzumiya is all up in your business

[Surely in this place a blue haired guy walking around with a metal box as tall as half of his body as a backpack isn't anything new or interesting in Luceti, right? He may even seem to be just as bored as Haruhi is on his walk... Except that actually he's just annoyed and angry like always.]

[...!

He might have a body in that box or something interesting like that. That's clearly cause to start to stalk this fellow to see what's up with him]

[Action]

[It certainly could fit a body. After all it fits a full body armor... With a curious design. Unfortunately Ikki really isn't up to anything interesting, just going to his usual place to train. He notices a Cosmos following him but he is beyond caring so long as it's not an evil one so whatever, so he just keeps walking.]

[Jeez for a guy with a body-box he's pretty boring. She keeps on going for a while but this isn't fun after about five minutes of it. Loser what's with this stupid stupid baka idiot.]

[An Athena Saint doesn't aim to be interesting or friendly... At least not this one.

Ikki just keeps minding his own business, putting the box down once he's at his usual spot and moving to open it by pulling from a chain it has. A column of fire bursting from the box as it opens by its walls falling isn't interesting or new. Neither how the fire seems to take life and the form of a fire bird before in settles down at the center of the opened box eventually cooling down to reveal the phoenix cloth.]

[...Okay that's cool. Cool enough for her to jump out of the bushes or something and shout-]

Aha!

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

[If he should be surprised he doesn't know it. He looks at her suspiciously though. He knew she was there but didn't think she would make herself known.]

"Aha", what? Found something you had lost?

[Action]

[god_is_a_dude]

No, I figured out what you were hiding in that box. Magic armor huh? Not bad...

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

You could have asked, it's nothing to hide.

[At least not here. Not that it's something to show around happily either but Ikki just doesn't care.]

[Action]

[god_is_a_dude]

If it's nothing to hide why not just wear it all the time like most other people with weird magic armor here do?

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

I don't know about them, but I have no need to do that. Besides, this 'magic armor' as you call it is alive and like any other living being it needs to rest.

[And heal its wounds. And the Cloths certainly need it even more than the Saints themselves sometimes, given the amount of damage and energy they receive and use.]

And that it's nothing to hide doesn't mean it's something to wave around either.

[Action]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Well okay, that's fair enough she guesses. Oh well]

It's alive?

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

It's the easiest way to explain it. It can't talk but it's sentient, it possess its own will and it can move on its own if it feels like it. Mostly to protect something in a dangerous situation.

[Or to hide itself somewhere, or to reunite the separated parts of the armor...]

[Action]

[god_is_a_dude]

So... your armor's probably your best friend? Or is it more like a pet?

[Action]

[flamesofanger]

More like an ally that helps me fight and protects me.

[That said in the tone of someone who thinks that being best friends with their armor or have it as a pet is just crazy. It may have been different if there had been a previous Phoenix Saint and their spirit had been in the Cloth, just like the rest of Cloths. But that's not the case and Ikki, as much as he concedes that it's alive and sentient, doesn't stop seeing it as a tool.]

It being alive doesn't really change things much as to it not being alive. Only makes things easier at times. It can repair itself from small wounds by resting in its box, and if I'm away from it but I need it it can come from wherever it is in my aid.

[It's not as if they sit and have long talks opening their hearts or anything.]

[Action]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Huh. He sounds like the antihero in some anime or something. How surprisingly boring. She gives up listening to him part-way through his little clarification and starts to tap her food somewhat irritatedly on the ground. ...Oh well]

Huh, right right...
