[Around Sheik's head, there is the still-dark sky, cloudless and sharp. He seems to be sitting on a stone roof - the keen-eyed might be able to figure out that he's actually on top of the temple

[Funny? Not really.]

Sometimes he's pushed.

[The sight on her side is little more than a curtain of blonde and knees drawn up, under her chin. There's a rustling; shifting sounds.]

[theeyeoftruth]

Ah - well, that is another possibility.

[And a strange one to come out with, surely. He wonders at it - at where she was pushed, and how. It scarcely occurs to him that she means literally.

His voice is calm, but not unkind - the observation is made softly, for he does not wish to push too much.]

My lady Saki has seen more worlds than this one.

[... that's]

No. Just speculating, really. Don't mind me.

[The look he gives her is faintly amused but entirely knowing.

His tone is at odds with such - conversational, almost, light.]

And what else do you think?

[notmycreampuffs]

Not a lot. [Easily, to cover for the dismissal. Her opinions, you can not has.]

Do you miss that world?

[He hums thoughtfully, and lets the matter drop.]

There are aspects of it that I miss, as there are aspects of it that I do not.

[notmycreampuffs]

[He smirks.]

You ask many questions.

[notmycreampuffs]

One of the many, many things wrong with me.

[theeyeoftruth]

There are greater vices than your inquisitiveness.

[notmycreampuffs]

I also leave a mess where ever I go.

[theeyeoftruth]

[He chuckles.]

I have known much evil. Rest assured you're on the lighter side of the scale.

[notmycreampuffs]

I do feel better now, thanks.

You never answered my question, though. Is it hard for you to talk about?

video;

[theeyeoftruth]

...Not particularly.

[There's another pause, before he continues.]

There were people there that were dear to me - [Perhaps against his better judgement.] - and time can bind a person to a place. Even if it does not feel as though such ties are in place, try to pull away, and...

[One can be met with resistance.]

I was a ghost, and then I was given some semblance of a home. Such things are easy to become attached to.

[Saki blinks, lifting her head for the first time since the conversation began.

Fingers splayed over her mouth, discreetly chewing on her sleeve again.]

Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
