I am searching for something. Each day I go out, and only now I realize I am searching for something.

So why is it I am not entirely certain what it is I search for?

maybe you're looking for something worth looking for? or are you really looking for something. because if you find out what it looks like or what it is, I can help find it for you.

[Yeah, that doesn't make much sense to Calvin either, but it's time to put himself to some use!]

[Aara is surprised by the friendly tone she gathered from reading the responding text, and she laughs lightly, which surprises her again.]

I do believe you are correct on all counts. I do not know what it is that I seek, so I am unable to tell you what it is like in appearance.

Perhaps, if we look together?

I knew it. I guess i'm kinda looking for something like that too.

[Being kicked from the police academy, then stolen away to some weird castle will do that to a cat.]

Sure i'll help you look. Right now?

You are? Then I hope I am able to help you find it, too.

[She considers that a moment.]

If you are not overly-burdened, now would be perfect. I am able to go another time, however. If you like.

... How should we know, if you've got utterly no idea?

Maybe it's something you never knew you were missing in the first place.

[Hearing Asuka's voice quickly prompts a smile in response. Her heart is already lifting, and she tilts her head curiously down at her journal.]

You may very well be right, but then what would it be? And how would I find it?

[spellsdeadwrong]

There are a lot of things it could be.

[He's smiling at his journal, a little bit bittersweet.]

But that's the trouble--if you never knew you were missing it, it's hard to pinpoint until you actually find it.

[angha_firebird]

Hmm.

[She hums into the journal, the sound almost human.]

I suppose... I shall simply have to continue my search until I find it, then.

Have you ever searched for something, only to later find out what exactly it was?

[rocklikerunaway]

I don't know! Why are you asking us instead of looking?

[angha_firebird]

I am looking...

[There is light surprise in Aara's voice. It is hard to look for answers in the trees and foliage around the keep. Seems silly, really, but for some reason Aara's gaze keeps moving skyward.]

[rocklikerunaway]

Well then quit whining and hurry up.

I'm pretty sure this book doesn't have the answer.

[Books never do.]

[angha_firebird]

Perhaps not. I suppose when looking for something this important, the answer never comes easily.

[abstinentzombie]

Good question.

[angha_firebird]

[Kloe's voice prompts a smile from Aara.]

Hello, Kloe. How have you been, lately?

[abstinentzombie]

I'm fine. I've decided I'm never going to babysit again.

[angha_firebird]

...Babysit?
