[hungry_monster]

[Johan is dealing with the fact that Doctor Tenma is droned.....well, by ignoring it. He'll be back. He has to be back. So anyway, ignoring missing father figures. Might as well get back to wo- Oh. Right, the school was closed for the summer. How dull. He'll need to find something to do till then. ]

[Minato's nearby, on another of his walks. It just so happened that he came across Johan, sitting on the bench.

The setting is familiar. He half-expected to see a different young man there instead, but the one here isn't pale or appear to be on the verge of death.

The bird adds a nice touch though.]

[hungry_monster]

[Notices the boy.]

Hello.

[doudemoe]

Hello. [He answers back.]

Do you come here often?

[hungry_monster]

Not usually, but I've gotten some free time now the school year is over.

[Also watching the birdies.]

[hungry_monster]

[Glances over.]

Enjoying the weather?

[friendly_ghosts]

[Have a shy smile.]

I was watching the birdies.

[hungry_monster]

[He smiles warmly.]

It's nice to see some normal things around here.

[A nod in greeting.]

My name's Johan Liebert. I teach one of the elementary classes at the school here.

Oh, those flowers are pretty, sir! [The small child smiles brightly, cheerful]

Are they for someone special?

[hungry_monster]

[Johan smiles back warmly.]

Yes, they're for my sister.

[kindlichekaiser]

Oh! [Her mouth forms a small 'O' of understanding.]

It's nice that you have family here. I'm sure she'll love them very much. Is there any special occasion? [So she's curious, sue her.]

[hungry_monster]

No, not really. I just thought she might like some.

[And also she was sad about Tenma being droned but he really doesn't want to bring up that subject.]
