WHO'S YOUR PAPA.

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

Apparently, the Gods decided that the festivities were over, and let Winter be present again. Snow storms had been a common thing the last couple of days. At least today it was a cloudy morning, yet no snow had fallen at all.

His wife was at the tea house, as she usually did after breakfast. As much as he loved her with all his heart... well, girl chat was not his thing.

...oh dear, he WAS sounding like a married man.

Battler shook his head, with a half embarrassed smile on his face. At least he had gotten what he was looking for. It had taken a small, awkward exchange with the Librarian, but he got a mystery novel he hadn't read at all.

Old habits die hard, they say. He had to admit he was excited as a child on Christmas with the idea of spending time with Beato while they both read the novel, trying to discover the truth before the end. Those were his thoughts as he walked on the snow (as SLOW as he could, mind you) back to the tea house.

Dale un momento... xD

[B-but how does one start a conversation with someone they know but the person doesn't know? "Hello I'm your cousin from another dimension and also what Beatrice could be in a tiny tiny chance" would be a terrible way a-and...

Asdflgjfsd, what to do?!.]

*le da dos xD*

[....Beato will love this book, it's so horribly ambiguous starting with the prologue.]

Sob xD

[isthedeadcat]

[A-all right. Lion knows this has to be done, so let's do it fast! Pushes self into shape, walks up to Battler...........]

Ah... Hello?

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

[...?]

Hello.

[...weird, that boy looks familiar.]

Can I help you with anything?

2/2 xD

[isthedeadcat]

[May be fretting a little now, but wants to leave the most awkward part behind so...]

First of all, my name is Lion, Ushiromiya Lion.

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

...Ushiromiya, you say?

[isthedeadcat]

[Nods, this is serious business.] I am your cousin in a different Fragment...

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

[...his face falls into Endless Sorcerer mode.]

I see. Ushiromiya Lion... that would be the baby Natsuhi threw away, am I wrong?

[The baby he claimed to be to save Natsuhi... before he became a witch.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Sob, this is so awkward...]

Yes... I wasn't thrown away in my Fragment, mother accepted me in that world.

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

[Soft nod... the book he took is nowhere to be seen.]

Who knew. I have a cousin now.

[isthedeadcat]

[Sigh, cousin, sigh... HAVE SMILE BEAMS!!!!! xD]

You do. It's nice to meet you, cousin from a different world.

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

Same here, cousin from another world. I get the feeling we had a good relationship in your Fragment.

[Lion did buttpinch you a lot XD]

We did.

[isthedeadcat]

But... Actually, there is something I want to request of you...

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

What is it...?

[isthedeadcat]

I want to meet Beatrice.

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

Why?

[isthedeadcat]

It's a bit of a long story... Do you have time?

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

All the time of the world.

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion uses EXPOSITION TIME! (and by that I mean you can have an explanation of Lion's nice time playing with Will and Trollkastel)]

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

[And he listens to it all... his face looked strained and bitter in some parts of the story.]

[isthedeadcat]

[There is actually a lot of emotion going on on this story.]

And I believe that's all...

When I arrived, I heard from Will that you and Beatrice were here. And I thought that maybe if I met her I could tell her that somewhere things were different, that in the end a miracle happened.

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

...I understand your feelings, Lion. I truly do.

[Looks at him, cold.]

But I can't let you do that, not yet at least.

[isthedeadcat]

[Frown...] Why?
