[Aegis is standing in the middle of the town today. She is seemingly talking to the local wildlife. At several points she tilts her head but continues speaking to the animals.]

I agree, Tori-san. The woods are really no place to stay at night in this world.

[[ooc: off to bed for the night o/ I'll pick up tags when I return. Alright, I'm back. ]]

[ Ryoji's standing a few feet away. He was on his way to visit a friend, actually, and what a coincidence that that friend just so happened to be out and about at the same time! (Fancy that!) He's about to call out to her, when he catches a small snippet of a conversation. Is she... ]

I didn't know these birds could talk!

[shieldinside]

[ RYOJI. If I wasn't pre-Episode Aegis /bawww, I'd be going on about how bad you are! She looks up at him. ]

Koromaru-san is also able to talk.

[13ftscarf]

Isn't that the...

[ Pauses for a minute, just... staring. Giving this look like you're talking a total different language and the subtitles are all backwards. ]

...Koromaru is a dog.

[shieldinside]

Yes. I can understand Korormaru-san as well as Tori-san.

[ Manages a smile at him. Were you always this amusing before we found out who you were? ]

[13ftscarf]

...Huh?

[ Normal people can't usually do that, right? ]

[shieldinside]

[ Her eyes close. Aegis has come to the decision that if Ryoji does not remember or know who he is, she won't tell him. She's gone all soft >: ]

[13ftscarf]

[ Taps his foot a little, looking everywhere but at her. ]

Aigis-san... isn't human, right?

[shieldinside]

[ Looks at the ground. ]

... No.

[13ftscarf]

[ Tries to look her straight in the eye but she's LOOKING DOWN so it doesn't work as well as he hoped ]

Am I?

[shieldinside]

[ Is quiet for a moment. ]

If you believe you are, Ryoji-san... then you are.

[13ftscarf]

[ Sighs ] I can't remember anything. I remember transferring into Gekkoukan High, and I remember Kyoto...

...And I remember you. I don't know when or where but... I've met you before.

[shieldinside]

It's better not to remember some things... I wish I could forget...

[13ftscarf]

Forgetting some things just leaves you with a big black hole...

[13ftscarf]

Ah! Sorry, I'm being all depressing! I didn't mean to get you down, too, Aigis-san!

[shieldinside]

It's alright...

[13ftscarf]

It's my philosophy to never make a girl cry! You're making me look bad!
