[Video: Week 28, day 3]

[indiffendence]

[The Hitomi lies somewhere to the side where Miharu is sitting back on his heels on the ground, a sake bottle in his hand and a small bowl in front of him. And behind that bowl, there is a snake-like creature - people knowledgeable of Kannagara's creatures would recognise it as a tsuchinoko - that is dipping down to drink from the bowl

[Kids. You take your eyes off of them for a minute, and the next thing you know, they're befriending talking snake-things that look like they've got a large animal stuck in their throats. Yukimi can't believe it. Actually, he can...this is just the sort of off the wall and reckless thing he should expect from Miharu. He snaps the video on with a frustrated groan.]

Hey...don't you know you're not supposed to talk to strangers? [And that includes strange talking animals that look like they could be freaking poisonous.]

[indiffendence]

[Oh hi there, Yukimi. He was expecting you.]

But how else are you supposed to meet anyone if you don't talk to strangers?

[Duh. That kind of idea is just weird.]

[video]

[kazuyan]

You don't meet snakes. [Just because a slithery reptile talks, it doesn't mean you can be best friends with them.]

And hey, you're a kid. You don't need to meet anyone, anyway. [Unless they go to school with you, are family friends or otherwise approved as non-threatening people by the parental units or a substitute thereof. And he thinks with a brief frown that maybe he's the stand-in for said substitute, in the absence of Miharu's grandmother...]

[indiffendence]

I just did. And I don't think they're actually snakes.

[Hmmm. He taps his bottom lip, tilts his head at Yukimi. Now that is just stupid.]

But what if I get lonely?

[Not that he would, when he has Yoite, but still.]

[kazuyan]

[Yukimi blinks. Somehow, he never expected Miharu to say such a thing. He and Yoite give off that similar vibe of don't touch me. He wonders if this is what Miharu truly feels, or just something he's saying just to say. Kids can be so difficult this way. You never know what to think.]

Well then...just, be careful. [He mumbles kind of awkwardly. He's really not good at this. He clears his throat.]

And fine, it's a...snake-type thing.

[Yukimi is too easy.

Miharu resists the urge to smile at the way Yukimi's tone sounds at that, that makes it so obvious he totally fell for it. Tsk tsk.

See, watch him make it obvious he's fucking with you, now.]

I will, daddy.

[kazuyan]

Don't call me that. [He's learned better than to react to that name every time, but it's annoying to hear it just when he feels like he's been taken for. This place is crazy enough without having to look after these ungrateful punks. (Though, weirdly enough, it also helps him feel like something is relatively normal)]

Anyway, I mean it. Stay away from that thing. It could bite you, and who knows what kind of venom or diseases it's got. I'm not gonna take care of you if you get laid up with fever. [Well, he probably will...]

[indiffendence]

[Geez, get over yourself, Yukimi.

And he knows Yukimi would take care of him if he actually did get bitten and sick. Heh.]

I don't see why it would bite me when I'm feeding it and we're having a pleasant conversation.

[kazuyan]

[He sighs heavily, as he seems prone to do lately when dealing with Miharu.]

Suit yourself.

[Hangs up, because he's an adult like that.]

[Reaction]

[indiffendence]

[Such an adult.

Sigh.

Ah well~]
