... ... will I be like her if I don't learn how to read?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

[Snicker] Nah, you'll learn how.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

Oh. Good.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's the spirit. Don't worry, you can trust her, even if she's weird.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

They're ... your friends?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

Are you married?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

WHAT. No. Aah, I'm getting chills just imagining it!

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

Sorry. You just seemed close. Like a family.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Oh. Uh. Maybe...

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[shrugs]

What's dating?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Uhm. It's when two people kind of like each other and want to try out a relationship, but haven't made it permanent like in a marriage...

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

Oh. I ... guess that makes sense? What do you do with them?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Do with them?

. . . It's like having a close friend. Erm, a very close friend.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[thinks about that...]

I understand. I'm dating someone too.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Who?

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

He's a boy I'm traveling with.

[his face falls]

Though I have to leave soon.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Ah. I don't think that's dating. Anyway it's not something people tend to think about until they're like fourteen or fifteen.

You have to leave though?

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

... oh. So it's an adult thing.

Mmm. I can't travel with them forever. The Koumyakusuji would get hurt, or I would.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

[nods]

Ah... Well just because you can't travel with them doesn't mean you can't visit again sometime later, right?

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

If I find them again.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

The only thing stopping you would be how far you can walk. You're not helping yourself if you're already thinking about it like it's some impossible task.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

... you really think so?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Tracking down a group of people is something anybody can do, if they have the freedom. If you're gonna be a mushishi you'll have to be able to go farther than that, don't you think?

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[nods]

I'll be allowed to go wherever I want. As long as I don't stay in one place.
