... 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?

[nods]

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

[hair ruffle, which might be part noogie.]

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

O-ow!

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

You're not thinking you'll be lonely, are you?

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

A little.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Once you've helped enough people you can think of it as having friends everywhere you go.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

That's true...

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

So that's settled.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

...

Do you think I'll see you again?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Well, in a way... probably?

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

In a way?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

You'll see me again when you're older.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[pauses. thinking about that...]

Oh. You mean when I go back to being older.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

. . . Right.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

Ahito explained that.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's how it is. I guess it counts.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

If I remember.

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

You're a pretty pessimistic kid, aren't you.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[bows his head a little]

I have to be realistic...

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

After breakfast you can dictate a letter to me and I'll write it up for you.

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

[perks up a bit]

Really?

[fill-the-blanks.livejournal.com]

[pokes]

Depends. Are we ever gonna manage to go have breakfast?

[buggereye.livejournal.com]

Oh. Breakfast would be good.

[perks up even more]

Are you going to cook something again?
