[Yawning.] Harley...? You're still up?

I guess it is hard to trust them after experiencing something like that. But at least they haven't tried to break it, right? The truce.[If they have, she doesn't know.]

[Shudders a little, she doesn't like thinking about that gun in the closet downstairs.] When Abel-san showed me the gun, I thought it was for the monsters... like the ones that were here recently. I didn't think he was serious when he said that it was because of the Embryon.

Well... it was for the monsters too. But I guess the Embryon fall under that category anyway, don't they?

And Serph did get pissed about the stupid puppet and called the truce off... but he must've changed his mind again. I think Abel said something to him, but I'm not too sure on the details. They haven't attacked either of us since they tried eating me after I got here... or at least, I don't think they have, but that isn't a guarantee that they won't. I hope they never do.

I suppose they sorta do.

Looks like we have to thank Abel-san for fixing that truce then, huh? Even if he's back in France...

[Looks down at the floor.] I miss him, Harley.

Yeah... I do too.

*quiet a moment, chewing on his lip*

He'll be back, though. He must've left because he woke up in his world, right? Because this place is a dream world? So... it's like I told him when Naomi disappeared. No one stays awake forever.

We've just got to keep Noireau from destroying all his stuff while he's gone. Keep the place clean, right? *manages a little smile, putting a hand on her shoulder*

Yeah, that does makes sense. [She smiles back at Harley. She appreciates the gesture and she's somewhat glad that she's not the only one who misses him. Suddenly, she lets out a soft laugh.]

It's kinda funny you understand stuff like this and not potatoes. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just... [Laughs again, a little more heartily.]

Sorry, sorry. [Tries to stifle her laughter. She looks at him again, her smile even bigger.] Thanks, Harley.

Yeah, we'll need to make sure that Noireau doesn't try to eat anymore of his socks.

Yeah... *is that a blush?*

No more eating his socks....

*eyes the little nightstand, and reaches over to open its drawer... fishes around in there for a sec, and pulls out what looks like a wrapped-up snack bar or something, only the wrapper's about as drab as military-issue boringness could be. He sits back on the bed again, and offers it to her*

We didn't have any potatoes or eggs or anything. We had this stuff. You can try it if you want... doesn't taste like anything, though. *small shrug* I came here, and there's all this other stuff that Abel was showing me to eat. He gave me some of a baguette, and some eggs, and some bacon, and the bacon was the first thing I ever tried that....

*shakes his head* I mean, I know what blood tasted like; it's not like I never bit my lip before. And dirt, and paint... don't ask. I don't-- *shakes his head again, a little self-depreciative laugh* I shouldn't have been standing there at the time ( ... )

[She looks at the ration for a moment before carefully taking it from him. She unwraps the package and takes a small bite from it. It was bland. It didn't taste like anything she's ever had and she couldn't even begin describing it herself. Now she understands why he seemed so fascinated by food now, especially if this really was all he had before arriving in Somarium.]

[Listens intently to him and is caught off guard when he had said paint. How could he know... She doesn't question it further than that.]

I understand where you're coming from. It's just that... [A short pause, as if she were thinking a little] I've never looked at it that way.

[She's a little surprised by his request but she was more than glad to help him learn more things outside of that Junkyard place he used to live in. After all, she's always wanted to bring him out a little bit more than Abel did. She winks at him, her smile never faltering.]

Of course I could, Harley. If there's anything you want to ask, go right ahead!

*little smile more, thinking about it* Um.... *great, what to ask? What to ask.... He knows there's a ton of stuff, but none of it comes to mind at the moment, and he's not sure why.*

....

*well, there was one thing.*

Abel never really wanted to explain how it was that females make other people. Is that just something they do in some worlds? Because none of the females in my Tribe ever made so much as a new finger if someone lost theirs.

[Okay, that was a little unexpected. Rise begins blushing a little before she starts laughing.]

Harley, are you asking where babies come from?

Reply

[action] justwantsafety September 29 2009, 05:58:43 UTC
Huh? No, I asked how--

*wait. Babies were... they were... really little people, weren't they? Only, they looked like adult humans, the way the toys he was just making looked like the monsters they were based off of, kind of. Little, more rounded....*

*sighs, leaning with his elbows on his knees, to frown at the carpet*

There weren't any babies in the Junkyard, and none of my Tribe made other people. New recruits would come in from outside, and... I never really thought about it, I guess.

Things were really different in the Junkyard, weren't they? [She gives it some thought, thinking how to explain things to him. Bends over to look at him.]

You do know what babies are though, right? You did get it right though. That they come from females.

*nods -- "really different" is certainly one accurate way to describe it!*

....

*looks back over to her. For whatever reason, this isn't quite connecting*

So what do they make babies and people out of?

[Turns red upon hearing the question. She claps her hands on her face as if trying to hide her blush and looks the other way.]

Gee, Harley. You're asking so many embarrassing questions!

*doesn't comprehend. Clothes and dolls and things are made out of fabric. Food is made out of... other food. Houses are made out of wood and paint and stone and stuff like that. So why would telling him what people get made out of be embarrassing?*

....I am?

[Still a giggling, blushing mess.]

You aaare! Didn't Abel-san tell you anything about it?
