005- My family is mad.

[gotyourlocket]

Cheza. Sohma.

We've talked about this.

The reason why the sign on the door of my room says to keep out without my express permission is because I'd like the things that are inside to remain there.

Even the ones that you happen to believe are sentient.

...

So, what have you done with it this time?

[humpinurleg]

Sohma?

[gotyourlocket]

Yes? And I prefer Regulus, thanks. Sohma makes it sound as though I'm in trouble.

[humpinurleg]

Oh. You want to join our family?

[gotyourlocket]

I've my own family, actually.

Thanks all the same, Shigure.

[humpinurleg]

And your family is?

[gotyourlocket]

Uh. They're all well?

How are things at your house?

[humpinurleg]

Have we met?

[gotyourlocket]

Cousin. Have you been drinking? It's not that I don't find it funny, but you really ought to stop once you start forgetting things.

[humpinurleg]

Akito never mentioned a distant relative.

[gotyourlocket]

Uh. Akito hasn't any interest in me as you well know, especially after I went off to Hogwarts.

So I've not heard of any, either?

[humpinurleg]

Hogwarts? An asylum on some distant shore?

[gotyourlocket]

My school.

Put the kettle on, you need some tea. Strong tea.

[humpinurleg]

Tohru's already asleep. I couldn't wake her.

[gotyourlocket]

Don't be useless. Fill it with water, and put it in the fire. Or on the range-top, whatever.

When it boils, add the tea and put it on the table.

Even you can manage that.

[humpinurleg]

I'm sorry. I really don't seem to remember you.

[gotyourlocket]

Yes, you've said. That's what the tea's for.

I know you're often a bit daft but I've never seen it as bad as this before.
