[shaking his head] I don't remember the mansion when I leave, either. But some people I've talked to do. 'S weird.

It might be due to Sabra La Tau and...wherever ya are. Losing memories and such...might be they get turned into berries until they're earned.

Or however ya get yers back. Get 'em back in games and such?

Aather.

[finishing up his... still sloppy but better than before patchwork and holding his jacket up to inspect it]

Games run by mythical beings with way too much power for their own good? I wouldn't classify them as gods, though.

Judges were old gods. Still run the world, so still pretty much the gods anyway.

Ya'll definitely need ta practice that more.

... I've heard. Jinx told me most of the story already. [his gaze flickers over toward her, somewhat worriedly, since. yeah. he has definitely heard]

You're holding up okay though, right? [and then a grump] And at least this is a start.

[Her jaw tenses as she grinds her teeth, biting back complaints. Focus on why she doesn't and-]

I'm Ophiuchus. I don't play in the games, I enforce the rules. In general, thin's are better for me. The only difficulty right now is dealin' with the fact my impulse control has been shot ta bits.

[oh. ooooooh.]

'Managing the blanks,' is how he put it. Closest we have are the knight, and they don't do any 'managing' at all.

...yeah, pretty much that.

I think I did it in an effort ta help Heiji with his stupidity in agreein' ta that place.

Kind of why I promised ta always help those from home. If I'm in this position, I'm usin' it.

That's a pretty good way to look at it.

[folding up his jacket and putting away the sewing supplies]

...yeah, pretty much.

[The ONLY way to look at it and keep sane sometimes.]

[uoooooh such a sad expression. he pushes himself to his feet, tucking his newly sewn jacket underneath his arm as he extends a hand for her. with a twist of his wrist, he's quite suddenly and MAGICALLY holding a flower for her. it's a daisy]

You said you've been here before, right? Then I suppose you don't need me to show you around.

[She looked over at the sudden daisy, blinking in surprise. And then she laughed.] A daisy, even? [It was kind of ironic on several levels, but she did take the flower.]

Yeah. I kind of strong armed Kaito-kun inta it.

[flowers for the lady who is stuck underground :3!]

'S probably for the best. Whichever Kaito gave you the tour probably knows this place better'n I do. I haven't been here that long.

[... and if she needed any confirmation that the wounds under those bandages are not scratches, he sure is heavily limping along there]

[Very much appreciated. There are limited flowers.]

[And she's watching him as she follows.] He seems ta know his way around. As much as he could, with the rooms moving.

Should ya really be walkin'?

[And considering he just earned back his magic skills he is more than willing to show off]

Why shouldn't I? I can't just sit around all day and wait for it to heal.

Because I'm assumin' this place is safer than Aath so ya could?

'Course it's safer here. This place doesn't have giant snakes-- [... hydras] -- lurking in the sunflower fields waiting to eat you.

Doesn't mean I'm the sitting around type. [:T pressing onward! injury or not!]

...I'm not sure if that's better than yer basement or not. I suppose it depends how giant is yer giant...we have raptors outside though.

Jeeze, so stubborn... [And now she's gonna follow you in worry.]

Pretty giant. They grow extra heads when you try to kill them, too.

[limping downstairs towards the basement, and subsequently where the dressing rooms are located]

That's a hydra, not a snake. And ours is...well, I think he could eat a semi-truck. If we had semi-trucks.

Ya sure ya don't want help?

[glancing over his shoulder at her as he heads down the stairs] A what?

[and then a shake of his head] 'M fine.

Hydra. Multi-headed lizard that, when ya cut off a head, regrows a new one. It's the animal representing Vulpecula's partner team, actually.

...or did ya mean the semi-truck? It's a really, really big cars. Vehicle. Self moving cart.

Hm. [Does not believe you.]

Hydra. Never heard of 'em-- or at least don't remember them.

[... arching an eyebrow at the 'partner team' part, though. and he reaches the bottom of the stairwell without incident, glancing across the line of labeled dressing room doors for his own]

It's a team animal. Then again, I seem ta have a good grasp of legends.

...ya don't have them? Our teams are in teams of two, excluding mine. A partner team is a team they can freely trade with and can pretty much break all the rules separating out teams with. They might also help each other in games.

Haa, therein lies the difference. [brushing his hand over the doors as he passes] No one remembers anything about legends or myths back home. That would ruin the story, and it wold give people too much ammunition to break the 'rules.' It's what happens when you're stuck in a world based around a fairy tale.

[a shake of his head as he finally stops in front of his own door. it is labeled "Spark Lord Kit of Coral."]

We don't have partner teams, but we probably don't need them. There aren't many rules governing what we can or can't do.
