[ When Hibari woke up from an afternoon nap in his new house on 5719 Cunningham Lane, it was pretty clear from the get-go that he was definitely not where he was when he fell asleep. But instead of doing the logical thing and calling somebody -- relying on others is something he isn't interested in, after all -- his first reaction was to just get

THREE BB.

[Well, that was different. She watches the boy on the roof--how did her get up there?--with a growing concern.

The Empress walks up the yard to look up at him, shielding her eyes from the sun] Sir? Are you alright?

[YOU SHOULD REALLY BE WEARING SOME SUNSCREEN...]

[kuichigiru]

[ He opens his eyes and sits himself up when he hears her voice -- a threat? -- but no, it's just a little girl. Hibari's violent, but even he has his standards -- kids are (mostly) safe from his wrath. ]

Of course I'm alright.

[kindlichekaiser]

I see. May I ask how you got up there?

[LOOK AT THIS CONCERNED FACE.]

[kuichigiru]

[ concern what is that emotion ]

I jumped. [ Normal people can do that, right? ]

[kindlichekaiser]

Jumped? [She sounds impressed, surprised.

She's quiet for a moment, before she stares up at the roof in the utmost concentration. She bends her knees, jumps--...!

And gets nowhere. There is a vague look of disappointment on her face] Perhaps I'm just not tall enough to do that yet.

[kuichigiru]

You're just not doing it right. [ He stands up and does a neat dismount off of the rooftop onto the floor, landing with an almost surprising grace (and lack of broken bones). He only went up there to be by himself, and little girls coming and talking to him kind of ruins that, so he'll have to think of a new place to go to. ]

[kindlichekaiser]

Perhaps you could teach me? [Look at this sweet, gentle smile. Look at it.

She then stops, taking a step back and executing a neat little curtsy] Ah, I didn't introduce myself. Forgive me--I'm the Childlike Empress.

[kuichigiru]

No. If you want to get stronger, you can't rely on other people to help you.

[ He sees it and he is... completely unaffected by it. ] Hibari Kyouya. What are you doing in my yard?

[ His tone is demanding, but not rude. ]

[kindlichekaiser]

But you can't learn if someone doens't correct your mistakes. You just keep making the same mistake.

Pleased to meet you, Hibari. [She looks at the yard for a moment, confused, before moving off to the side and giving him an, 'is is that better?' look]

I was walking and saw you on the roof--I was concerned that you were injured, or stuck or something, so I stopped to see if you needed help. I dind't mean to disturb you.

[kuichigiru]

If you know you're making a mistake, then do something about it yourself first.

[ He doesn't really care where she stands, to be honest, he was more asking about why she came over to talk to him. ] I can take care of myself just fine. You shouldn't be so quick to approach people, they might not want to be approached.

[ This is pushing nice for Hibari, if she looked just a few years older he probably would've given a quick death threat and walked off. ]
