Suppose for a moment that the heart has two heads

Mar 16, 2009 02:03

Evening, the libraryFair to say my estimation of Miss O'Hara from the stores ain't been higher. She done something good getting folk together to find out stuff about gods, even if it's just a start. Did wonder if Boku'd say more, but it seems like he's thinking on it and I reckon I got a lot in my head as needs thinking on too. Lately I ain't ( Read more... )

Bit different up here since I been last, sorta neater, I guess, and I spot the card I give Neko on this little shelf and don't that make me all pleased. She's real sweet, all serious like, and I duck my head a bit thinking she kept it, or- he- they kept it, or... "I think humans have always had the capability, I was created from such magic." I know he reckons that 'bout folks, and I guess it's true, but I dunno... "Sure," I say, "but it seems like that's... that's fine for everyone at once, but then I think of just... folk on their own, individuals, and I can't think who. 'Cept once Miss Hermia told me she was learning magic. But Miss Hermia ain't a witch, is she?"

He nods to the map on the wall - seems like there's more maps now - and I go over and look at it, all these little dots clustering in round Excolo. Makes me feel like I want to look out the window and see if I can see 'em there, they got such a feeling of- of realness to 'em. "I think the forces that are drawing so many powers here are accelerating that into a ( ... )

"She says thank you very much. She is very happy that you were the first one to give her a birthday card." Good. Smile a bit at that. Course he starts giggling away like anything soon as I ask him 'bout the bible. It's a valid bloody question! Who knows what they got going on out there! I mean... not the thing with the snakes, that's somewhere else, but still. He tugs me back when I'm about to let him go and tell him just that, so I stay, and it's real nice having someone laughing like this and you can feel it cause you're holding 'em. "No, no, I am sorry Luke-kun...it was just a surprising question."

"Samuel's been wondering," I tell him, "All bloody questions these days, he is." I'd keep quiet for worrying he'd be nervous 'bout coming round, only frankly I reckon he likes talking back to Samuel. Nuzzle against his hair a bit, and shut my eyes so's I can just listen. "There were missionaries that brought the bible long ago to Japan. Before that the monks brought Buddhism. I think sometimes that Japan is a nation where ( ... )

Samuel is asking questions? Perhaps I should go early one day and answer a few of them. I am distracted by his face moving against the back of my head and blink to try and remember what we were discussing.

"But what was there first? All the kami?" A shiver runs down my back from where he kisses me. It is quite difficult to concentrate when he does that.

"Kami? Eh to ne," I breathe and find my voice, "There are stories that people were first, that the kami were, or that people woke the kami. Sometimes I think all the stories are true."

He shivers a little bit, and I smile real slow up against his neck, cause when did I ever make someone shiver like that? "There are stories that people were first, that the kami were, or that people woke the kami. Sometimes I think all the stories are true.""Yep," I say into his hair. "Probably are. I mean look where we are." Look who I got leaning up against me, even. 's funny though, when you get up close to folks like him, even gods, they ain't... well, he just feels like a person. 's just like having anyone else leaning up against me... though, I got to say, he does smell real nice and not like anyone else I met. And he is a bit nicer'n most too, 'cept to gods. "'sides, how'd you decide which ones were and which ones weren't? Who'd do the picking? Ain't no one as can decide, so they'd have to be, to keep it fair ( ... )

I nod slightly as he speaks. Discussing the philosophies of mythology and consensual reality is a bit difficult with him so close. Perhaps one day I shall be used to his skin against me. Somehow I do not think so.

"Say, you got a map of the world?" I nod once more and reach for one of the atlases under the table. "This is one I have modified over my travels. There were some fairly large changes wrought upon the land during the Great Wars."

I pull away from his arms, but tug him by the hand over to the lounging area of pillows. Once he is seated, I place the atlas on his lap and lean against his side.

Press my hand against his stomach to keep him close a bit longer, cause I like feeling him all warm against me without having to think of nothing else, just cause it's nice, but I let him go and sit when he tugs me down. Feels like getting a present when he puts this book in my lap, real old it is too, and at first I don't open it, just look at it, cause there's something real special about books tht've travelled with someone, that you know they've carried with 'em ages, and it's like touching a bit of 'em you can't usually get to. I mean, probably. Or maybe that's sorta weird, thinking of it like that ( ... )

We lean against one another and he just looks at first. I am about to tell him he may do as he likes, but I see the look in his eyes. Like he is giving it honor and I flush that he pays such attention to something of mine.

He opens it and slowly turns pages until he comes to the full world spread. "Show me which way you come?" He brings my hand to the map in encouragement. I look over at him and smile, turning my hand atop his and moving his forefinger to the main island of Japan. I slowly move it over to what was Korea and across the countries known as China and through most of europe before crossing the ocean to the americas. Lifting his hand, I kiss his fingers, "That was our route."

a_cheval March 17 2009, 02:54:51 UTC

He curls his hand round mine and moves it over the page. Goes nearly the whole way across it. Sometimes stuff's so big you ain't got a chance in hell of understanding, so you just got to think how brilliant it is. I'm smiling when I look up. "That was our route.""'s a real long way," I whisper. "Guess it's too far over the water the other way, huh." If you sorta curled the map up it'd join and make this massive ocean the other way. Don't reckon I'd much like trying to cross that. not one bit. Mind, I ain't really seen boats or nothing 'cept in books, so I dunno if folk still make 'em so good as they did ( ... )
