Interfering with fate - especially something as inevitable as dying - never ends well for anyone, mundane. Maybe you should reconsider bringing me to a place like this.

After all, how useful could an old man like me be at games like these, where fate can be rearranged at will?

[And he would know about interfering with something as inevitable as death, wouldn't he?]

I wonder... if what really preoccupies you is not the knowledge that you won't be able to leave whenever you think the time has come. For once.

[Long time no see, Clow. Way too long.]

[reedfate]

[ Yes. A very long time. So long, in fact, that he isn't even sure if he should answer her at all. After almost a full minute, he finally decides that, if he's here, then speaking with Yūko again couldn't possibly hurt anything more than it's already been hurt simply by him being here. ]

You and I both know better than most how perfectly valid of a concern that is, Yūko.

[yuuwish]

And you and I both know this could... or could not be... a perfectly valid opportunity to grasp.

Personally I think I will try this, just for the fun of it. Life in a Mundane's headspace can be so boring.

The question is, will you?

[behindthefakesmile]

With these mundanes they most certainly like to interfere. Especially as mine thinks that with some people it's better than what actually happens.

Tsubasa's the last one on my list, so I'm a bit canon-blind here D:

[reedfate]

[ Have a typical Clow Reed smile, Fai. ]

As they say, be careful what you wish for.

Threadjacking just because

[yuuwish]

[That's her line, Clow. Don't have her run out of business, you creep.]

[microfon]

As it appears you've realized, it would seem that fate has no hold on us in a place such as this. [Holds a blink, then continues.]

It can be both a good and a bad thing.

[reedfate]

It's hard not to notice, especially for me. I admit, I feel like a fish out of water, here.

[notmyfinalform]

And you know a lot about rearranging things at will. [Huff, huff, Kero maybe still be a bit mad about your whole dying deal, Clow.]

[reedfate]

[ Have a smile, Kero. You really are adorable in this form, you know that? ]

Now, Kero. We've talked about this before.

[notasugarcat]

... what are you up to now?

[reedfate]

Now?

I'm waiting. And I'm running into a lot of old friends.

[four_quarts]

Oh, I don't know. I think this little plot twist is just the sort of thing that fate would find amusing.

[reedfate]

Oh?

[moon_flicker]

No one's too old to play games.

[reedfate]

As long as one is a child at heart, right?

[ Is he serious, or is that mocking? ]

[iamadreamer]

Clow Reed-sama!

[ Excuse her a moment while she catches her breath! ]

Any one person can be useful. Isn't that what you taught me?

[reedfate]

I was hoping that you would be here, Sakura-chan.

[ He nods, smiling ear to ear. He's eager to see how far Sakura has progressed since being here, but that can wait. ]

Of course. I admit, this isn't a situation I have faced before. But there is a first time for everything, isn't there? Maybe I'll even learn something, myself.

[mahoushonen]

[Syaoran would be absolutely ecstatic that his mun wants him to tag with Clow Reed except that it's Clow Reed, and he is, as ever, moderately tongue-tied in the presence of respected elders (much less Clow himself). How is supposed to instigate a conversation? Surely it's better to wait to be spoken to?]

Wh-what game can rearrange fate like that, sir?

[reedfate]

[ D'aww, Syaoran. He's not THAT scary. Or, well, he'd like to think that he isn't. ]

Isn't learning how to play half the fun of a game?

SO MUCH REGRET that I don't have a Yue journal right now.

[gentlestar]

[thoughtfully] I...don't think age has anything to do with it. With age comes wisdom. I'm sure there's a lot others can learn from you!

And fate can be rather ambiguous, really.

[If one has an optimistic take on it. Which at this stage, he still does.]

/pat pat

[reedfate]

[ Well, consider him mildly impressed. ]

You seem to know a lot about that. [ A beat. ] Ambiguous, how?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

..You don't look that old to me.

[Unless he happens to be hiding somethng.]

[reedfate]

That's very kind of you to say.

[ Of course he is, he's Clow Reed. ]

[yashaou]

Fate can be difficult to change, but it can be done.

[A heavy sigh.]

It is a heavy burden.
