[ He's making friends!! Are you proud, Rei? ]
Shigeru? Though I'm not sure if that will mean much to you either. We arrived around the same time.

I don't know him, but the name is Japanese at least.
[So that's a thing. she does seem proud though, and pleased. She might pat your head.]
In any event, you haven't had much trouble, have you? Getting around, I mean. I know it took me a few days to really learn my way around the residential area.

[ He's probably too tall for that, Rei... He's 6'. ]
It hasn't been too bad. [ It probably has, honestly. His sense of direction isn't terrible, but as this shows... he has bad luck. ] I mean, people here are willing to help if you admit you have no idea where you are.

[She can reach. She has long arms, okay?]
Usually yes. Especially if you admit that. Better to seem slightly clueless than be obviously lost and appear a true fool.

[ Ah... another noodle. ]
Well, that wouldn't be a first. [ Just what kind of shady things has he done? Best not to ask. ] It's just been easier to ask for help here.

[Shoujo character, so yes, noodle.]
I imagine so, but you're getting the hang of the little things right? The shower's not still giving you problems is it?

[ Ah one of those, I see I see! ]
Still? [ Well, maybe the first time was a bit confusing, but-- ] Do you know how much easier it is to not have to fill up a huge tub to bathe properly? Most of us-- [ Actually no. Let's stop there. ] --um. Well. It's easier.

[Rei bursts into a quiet laugh and nods cheerfully.] I know exactly what it's like. And I know enough about the past to know that bathing wasn't an everyday occurrence for most people. Nothing to be ashamed of, it took a lot more work, but frankly I think indoor plumbing is the most important invention man's had since the wheel.
Oh it definitely took more work. The worst part is when you've been pelted with rotten fruit beforehand. Do you know how hard that is to clean off?
[ Maybe stop getting put in the stocks then, Merlin??? ]
It's a lot better here for that though.

Well, I don't know firsthand, but I have a good idea. I mean, I've seen what happens when people fall into garbage.
[Usagi...]
Tell me you don't have a lot of experience with that...
[Usagi...]
Tell me you don't have a lot of experience with that...
With garbage? No--No not that.
[ But the stocks??? Sadly, yes. Way too much, which is why avoids specifying that one. ]

Well, then you're better off than my best friend Usagi-chan.
[She's a mess, okay?]
Hopefully you didn't get covered in rotten fruit too often. But...how?

Sounds like you have a very interesting friend. [ No joke... ]
But um... [ He rubs the back of his head and gives Rei a sheepish smile. ] It depends, sometimes Arthur puts me in the stocks. Sometimes Uther. I think I have an issue with authority.

The stocks? [Blink-Blink.] Whyever would he go that far?
[WHAT DID YOU DO?]
[WHAT DID YOU DO?]
[ WHAT DIDN'T HE DO... ]
I... [ He wants to say he probably should have kept his mouth shut and that she can forget this but instead he says. ] ...can't seem to be able to keep my mouth shut when it's necessary.
There is a disease like that, isn't there?

Ah...no. Unless you mean foot-in-mouth syndrome...
[Ah...heh...]
[Ah...heh...]
[ ........Rei. ]
Don't tell me there actually is?

No, that's sarcasm and a phrase. There's no such thing.
[Or believe me, Usagi and Minako would've been diagnosed with a terminal case years ago.]

[ He lets out a long breath at that, even puffing out his cheeks a little. ]
Probably for the best, that sounds disgusting.

[She snorts a laugh.]
Yes, idioms are often a little silly. I hope you don't mind me asking but...the stocks? Really? What did you say?

One of the reasons I can't really say all the details of but... I lied to the King for Arthur. Never doing that one again.
[ No, really... ]
Neglecting duties then backchatting about it was probably another time...
[ Is this really the wizard the world thinks so highly of... ]

[Mars grabs hold of one of the extra trunks, hanging on with a crushing grip until the elephant comes down. It yowls, but she's already reorienting herself, battle-light glowing in her eyes. She wants this to be over, she's tired of CERES and it's shenanigans, and these are just an inconvenience really.]
Almost!
[The fact that this stupid thing has two heads is part of the problem. She could kill it, yes. Her magic would make that a simple enough task, but it's still just an animal, and that's the only reason she doesn't just destroy it right then and there. Instead she rains down another blow on one head, staggering the animal and driving it to it's knees. There's a distinctive crack as she thinks she drives loose something but that is about the most unimportant thing right now. A second punch, delivered to the still thinking head, drops it finally. A last trumpet, and she's jumping clear before it collapses.]
There.
[Landing neatly, she reaches a hand out for him.]
Let's go before the handlers come. I've got a place in mind.

[A young one, maybe. She sees a lot of Usagi in you, to be honest.]
Sounds like you're quite the troublemaker. Whatever are we going to do with you here?

[ Yeahhhhhh. Probably not all that surprising. ]
Hopefully not pelt me with fruit? [ He gives her a cheeky smile. ]

Well, that seems a waste of good fruit. So no, I don't think so.
[Speaking of...]
Actually, since I'm sure you've never had it, let's get out of here and go get a banana split. You'll like it.
[And it'll get your mind off the mask, and the stocks.]
