002 [Action]

[Two weeks in Ruby City was not... really that long of a time, all things considered. Tomoe still had yet to familiarize herself with the pocket watch (after all, the oddity of having her image... copied and repeated for anyone to see and hear was... disturbing) and had yet to truly get to know the setting itself--and so finally she was out and

[This brightly-feathered bird seems to be--watching. Curiously. Because heck he understands birds and it's not strange to him, but if you see a human that goes and talks to them... It's unusual, okok? And she smells like a normal human in every sense of the word.

Nothing particularly supernatural.

Lin spreads his wings, flutters a bit nearer to perch on a nearby fence. Until that vivid plumage of his is probably well within Tomoe's notice. He's probably staring a bit too directly to seem like any other bird.]

[willing_sheath]

[She straightens a bit, eyes going a bit wider as one of them turns to her with a loud squawk... that came across to her as a very degrading insult to the other crow's mother--]

[--and about now she catches sight of the very... very... colorful... and large bird...]

[That was... watching her.]

[A-ALRIGHT, it it wasn't weird before it's GETTING REALLY WEIRD NOW.]

...

[Yeah, she's just going to stare back because she really has no idea what the hell is going on right now.]

[S'up?]

[nocrackers]

[Sup.

Lin ruffles up his feathers up slightly, staring some more. And because he wants to make absolutely sure (he's curious, and if it got dangerous he could just fly away, yeah!) he speaks,]

Can you understand those two?

[He spreads out one wing, pointing in a way to the crows.]

[willing_sheath]

[Well... the whole shock of hearing birds talking in the first place has sort of prepared her for this--though this was the first bird that was actually talking to her.]

[So she is still subtly looking at him as if he had two heads. Which. Would actually be less bizarre than him talking but that is beside the point.]

...

Apparently...

[action? :>] probably after the thread with Lin though IDK.

[He'd left the house for one reason or another, but that didn't matter now, as he stepped up behind Tomoe to see just what it was she seemed to be talking to.

Birds?]

Oro? Share what, Tomoe? [he peers curiously at the birds before letting his gaze flicker over to his wife with a fair bit of concern]

[YES PLZ action :3] wormholes~

[willing_sheath]

[She jumps juuuuuuuuuust slightly. You didn't see that Kenshin. She's all calm and cool and collected...]

[And totally not hearing voices right now...]

[She turns to him, straightening just a bit and just... staring flatly for a moment.]

...

It's nothing, I was... [And she hazards another brief and very u n s u r e glance back at the crows as she picks up a very clear and degrading insult to someone's mother...] ... thinking.

[ishinbattousai]

[...Oh but he does notice. maybe. He's probably going to pretend he did not. He does however continue to watch his wife carefully. One hand settles at the back of her obi after a moment.]

....Is there something wrong with the birds? [You look like you're giving them the eye, Tomoe. As much as she ever gives anything the eye, that is.]

[willing_sheath]

[She looks back to him, trying to gauge his reaction to them...]

...

Is there...?

[Do you hear it? It's not just her, is it? TELL HER YOU HEAR THE BIRDS TOO, KENSHIN!!! God she is not saying this out loud, it's insane.]
