[In the library car sitting Indian style in one of the rather plush chairs that was definitely meant to sit a bear of a person sits the horribly dwarfed Echizen Ryoma. He's scowling at yet another chair, partner to the one he is currently sitting in, arms over his chest.]

I don't believe you. How is that even possible?

[Yeah sadly he makes it a

[Sena's sitting in a corner, reading a book--he's been ignoring Ryoma thus far, but it's getting a bit weird.]

...who're you talking to?

\o/

[grapesarebetter]

[He glances in Sena's direction and scowls just slightly.]

A ghost. Can't see it?

/o/~

[course_of_fate]

[leans his chair back on two legs, peering around.]

...that little cloud?

\o\

[grapesarebetter]

[The brown cloud bobs and settles back down in the chair, giving a silent greeting one supposes.

Echizen just nods.]

They're all around the train. Just have to know where to look.

[Then again why would you want to look to see the little wisps of black clouds all over the place. At least the colored clouds look like clouds of fog about the size of a basketball. Easier to distinguish.

[course_of_fate]

[Sena nods back at the cloud in greeting, smiling.]

I didn't recognize it as a ghost...all the ones I've seen before have looked more or less human.

[grapesarebetter]

These don't obviously.

[He's looking back at the cloud.]

Now explain. And don't tell me to try it again.

[course_of_fate]

[rolls his eyes. wow you're a rude bastard.]

You don't have to be so rude.

[grapesarebetter]

[H-he just doesn't open up well. Evil brat that he is.

Still... He heard that.]

Mada mada dane.

[Japanese for 'you still have a long ways to go' and he means on making quiet remarks like that.]

[course_of_fate]

[gives him a look, his eyes might flash green for a second, briefly enough that it COULD pass as a trick of the light.]

Bonvolu paroli la anglan. Serioze.

[he figures you're not the only one who can speak a weird language. Have 'Please speak English. Seriously.' in Esperanto. the mun thinks.]

[grapesarebetter]

[He doesn't catch that cat-eye trick but the language thing has him looking at Sena.]

...

That doesn't sound like Italian or Spanish.

[Then again brat only knows the prayers in different languages, he's only well versed in English and Japanese as they're his native tongues.]

[course_of_fate]

[Oh good, he'd hate to have to explain that.]

It's Esperanto. Partly based on the Romantic languages.

[grapesarebetter]

[He gives a small nod] Given their similar sounds I would have guessed that.

[The cloud starts drifting toward Sena, not in a threatening manner, snagging Echizen's attention again.]

[course_of_fate]

[Sena looks at the cloud as well.]

Hey.

[He smiles, not really disturbed by this at all.]

[grapesarebetter]

[If Sena can hear the cloud's chatter is unknown to Ryoma but he hears the cloud asking if Sena would mind doing the small experiment.

He just snorts and tugs his hat lower over his eyes.]

If you explained it I would do it.

[course_of_fate]

[listens, thinks for a second]

...I don't mind, I guess. What do you want me to do?

[grapesarebetter]

[The cloud quickly details the small experiment although it already knows the result it's not going to tell Sena that.

"Hold your arms out and verify they are of the same length down to the fingertips. Bend one of your elbows so your hand is near your ear then with the other hand rub that elbow a few times. Then outstretch your arms and measure them again. The one you rubbed should be a shorter length."

Ryoma just sits there and listens, elbow on the arm rest.]
