House had basically pinpointed the problem with making jokes and using entendres around Nagi - for all the time Nagi spent on the internet learning about worldly things, he simply had not experienced them himself; hadn't had any practice in hearing about them in conversation. It was that subtle difference between intellect and wisdom. True, the mascot of the St. Louis Cardinals was a foreign creature to the young Japanese boy, but the 'exotic game' that House was actually referring to... well, that was universal, wasn't it?

Too bad Nagi didn't have a mind like Schuldig's that could pick up on the meaning of a phrase no matter what way it was intended and all at once. Instead, Nagi's was basically a one-track mind, and so as he stood there trying to analyze the feathers, he only answered the hidden question that came last, rather than first.

"My target. I didn't kill it." His tone was neutral, calculating, and reflective as he continued twirling the feathers held in his left hand with his fingers. Very slowly Nagi let go of the feathers so that they hovered in the air, his hand left nearby as if holding a large fruit or football.

He narrowed his eyes in thought. Schu would tease me for failing, for a little while anyway. Faru would give me advice for next time, maybe offer to help. Crawford... Then his eyebrows rose and his eyelids fell a little. "Crawford will be angry with me."
