26th sigh

[sosnarrator]

[Today, Kyon is sitting on a park bench, talking to a calico cat. Occasionally, he'll pause briefly, almost as if he were waiting for the cat to reply, before continuing on. Largely just about what his life has been like since arriving in Mayfield. Feel free to interrupt his one sided conversation at any point.]

(... Well, I suppose he isn't going

[Someone stops by wearing a new and rather enveloping black coat. She sits down without a word to Kyon, sitting beside him but not nestling up. Just there.]

Your cat?

[sosnarrator]

Yeah, pretty much. ... Nice coat.

[flameyedhunter]

Thanks.

[She begins to eat a rather boring looking ham-sandwich prepared by her drone mother.]

So... you lived, right?

[sosnarrator]

Somehow, yeah. What about you?

[flameyedhunter]

What do you think, stupid?

[sosnarrator]

If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be asking would I?

(... Judging by the apparent touchiness of the subject, I wonder if that's a no?)

[flameyedhunter]

Of course I didn't die. Do you think I'm stupid?

[sosnarrator]

No, of course not. But there's a lot of dangerous people, and well... I'm almost surprised I didn't die somehow to be honest...

... I'm glad you were okay.

[flameyedhunter]

Pff, well, I'm glad you're okay too.

[sosnarrator]

That's good to hear.

[And let's perhaps caution putting an arm around her shoulder?]

[flameyedhunter]

[Shana stiffens, but allows it.]

Mou. I hate this place so much.

[sosnarrator]

Yeah, I'd much rather be at home any day...

... At least the company here isn't terrible?

[flameyedhunter]

Mmmm.

[She leans against him slightly.]

[sosnarrator]

[He shifts his arm a little into a slightly more comfortable position.]

Well, at least by ending up here, I managed to meet you.

[flameyedhunter]

[Shana looks away from him, her body tensed.]

[sosnarrator]

[Kyon'll just sit there silently, seemingly content for the moment.]
