✿2 [Action] The dangers of moving in

Aug 30, 2010 19:45

*Hey, you. Yeah, you!

Where are you right now? At home? Out and about? In the bath?

It doesn't matter where you are, because in a second, there's going to be a strange black vortex right nearby. And as the vortex fades, it will be leaving in its place a young-looking vampire girl in a gothic lolita outfit. She has some furniture with her; ( Read more... )

[Jack looked up from his small encampment set near Community Housing 7. He had been in the middle of starting a small cooking fire when the strange girl appeared. The samurai sat with fire starting twig still held between his palms, the small pile of tinder floating away on the breeze. His eyes were wide open in surprise, mind trying to wrap around the sudden appearance of the girl and her furniture.]

[Jack moved back to prepare a cup of the tea for himself, a small smile on his face.] I am used to having guests with tastes far different than mine. The most difficult skill to learn was to have a mind open enough for the odd tastes that come along.

[He had associated with enough creatures, alien races, and beings to know that all to well.]

*She did not yet drink; that would have been rather rude, and she did pride herself on her nobility.* I see. How mature of you, Mr. Wanderer.

Tell me your name.

[He set his tea down onto the saucer and gave yet another bow to his guest.] They call me..."Jack." Samurai Jack.

*And Rachel returned it with the barest incline of her head. Really, it's exceptionally polite for her.* Mr. Samurai, then.

*She raised the cup to her lips and took a sip.*

[The small smile returned the samurai's face as he took his seat. After taking a few sips of his tea, he looked across the fire at the visitor.]
About your furniture...if this world is affecting your powers, it is quite possible that it will continue to make it difficult for you to transport them to their final destination through the use of your powers. Perhaps I could assist you with moving them by land. That is, if it would help make it easier for you rather than the furniture possibly ending up in a place less welcoming than my camp.

It is only a matter of time before I bend this world to my will. If you are offering, Mr. Samurai, then you would be doing the entirety of the work. I have no taste for manual labor.

*A sip* This is genuinely drinkable - I had not anticipated such.

[Jack bowed his head lightly in appreciation of the compliment.] Thank you, I've had many years practice in making proper tea.

[It was why Jack avoided asking for tea and instead for hot water in pubs, taverns, and the like. Too many who butchered what could have been a decent cup.]

As for the labour, I meant that if you would guide me to your home, I would not mind transporting your chair and furniture there. For one also new to this world, I understand the frustrations of things not being as one is used to. I wish to alleviate one trouble from your plate, so to speak, small as it may be.

It shows. I do not give the slightest of compliments lightly. *Okay, it's actually pretty good. She likes you, Jack. You're polite.*

If you are offering, I shall take advantage of your generosity.

Very well. However, let us finish our tea first. As you said, there is no haste just yet.

[Despite some edge to her words when they first met, Jack found her company to be far better than those he had met in the future. Though the move of the chair and ottoman would need to be a careful effort, he was gladly willing to give aid to the girl.]

There rarely is. Haste is for the short-sighted.

*Rachel takes another sip, closing her eyes and letting herself relax.

Just a little bit.*

[A small smile passed across the samurai's face. It had been a long time, far too long, since he had had the chance to share tea with another. To be able to enjoy the peace and quiet around them while sipping tea...it reminded Jack of what he was striving for in Aku's future and in his past. He was sure the girl would say when she was ready to begin the move. Until then, Jack basked in the moment and savored his tea.]

*It strikes Rachel that it is very odd of someone like her to enjoy sharing a cup of tea with a complete stranger, let alone one who seems utterly unaccustomed to a noble life.

And yet, he makes a competent cup of tea, and has shown politeness and chivalry far greater than the beasts that she has met in this world. Perhaps it is all relative. Rachel says nothing.*
