15: Convenience [Action]

[invidia_keeper]

[What with the current "It's raining trees!" bonanza happening in Luceti, Naoya's decided to take advantage of the whole situation. As of late, he's been rather nomadic, spending his nights in the forest, or even on some occasions the mountains, though he has wandered back to the village-- but never for too long. There's one big downside to this

[Rose is taking a break from manning All Passions and going on a short walk when she spots Naoya sneaking off to CH6. She hides in the shadows as he walks past.]

Long time no see.

[invidia_keeper]

[Stops. Turns around. Well if she was going to attack him, she would have done so already, so no teleporting just yet.

He can't see too well in the dark, but he does recognize the voice, even thought it has been a while. Infallible memory and all.]

Has it been.
[Not the happiest at the moment, because he's hoping you don't remember the other part.]

[pileof_ashes]

[Oh, she does. There's infallible memory on her side, too. And it's a nifty piece of blackmail.]

It has. Yet you don't sound too happy to see me.

[invidia_keeper]

I see.

I've been busy, and am at the moment, still busy. [Yeah not bringing up that incident unless Rosalie is. He's looking at her, arms crossed, thinking.]

[pileof_ashes]

[She won't be bringing it up, at least for now.]

Busy with what?

[invidia_keeper]

Programming, village events. [...and now he's suspicious. Surely she's heard of well, everything that went on with him and Kohaku.]

Yourself? [Really, he's trying to figure out what she's after.]

[pileof_ashes]

[Just trolling, really. She doesn't really care what he did to Kohaku.] I'm actually helping someone out while they're...indisposed.

[invidia_keeper]

Hm? [ That makes about only the second person who doesn't care. As soon as he figures that out, he'll be a lot more receptive.]

[pileof_ashes]

[It's none of her business.] Well, you're a lot more cautious than I remember.

[invidia_keeper]

[He laughs, just a little bit. Fine, he'll address it himself.]

I don't believe that you've not heard.

[pileof_ashes]

Perhaps you should make yourself clearer. I may not go out much, but I hear a lot of things.

[invidia_keeper]

About Kohaku and Dilandau.

[pileof_ashes]

Oh, that. [She stares at him curiously.] Are you planning to do something else to them?

[invidia_keeper]

No, they've been taken care of. [As much as they can be in Luceti; besides he's not about go near Kohaku. She tends to make him crazy.]

It doesn't bother you?

[pileof_ashes]

[She shrugs.] I do not know or care for either individual.

[invidia_keeper]

Hm. [Well that's a first.]

Did you really just want to 'catch up' then?
