Homeless~

[ibarakasen]

Mundane, I hope you realize keeping me idle here is not going to do anyone good in the long run. Especially since you seem to have no plans now that you finally have given me an outlet to the outside.

I have more important things: like keeping the shrine maiden motivated. And taking care of those Evil Spirits.

...

[Blanching.]

What do you mean my boss would like to talk to me? I don't have a-

[Oh wait.]

No, that doesn't count. And stop saying those things about me.

[ibarakasen]

Maybe it is, but I've never, and will never, be one to simply accept things as they are, if such a thing is negative and can be changed.

[higan_retour]

Well it doesn't have to be negative. Positive things can be done here too you know. Think of all the people you could enlighten? People who are more likely to listen and change.

[ibarakasen]

Yes, that it can.

[Which is a noncommittal way to say 'I might think about it but I still don't want to']

[higan_retour]

You might just run into familiar faces too.

[ibarakasen]

That almost seems unavoidable, given you've already found me.

[higan_retour]

Maybe, but I'll make sure you don't feel too lonely out there.

[ibarakasen]

... If I am not doing anything that would not disrupt Hell, you don't really have any reason to stalk me like a possessive lover, you realize.

[higan_retour]

Hey now, don't give me such a frightening descriptor. Can't I want to see a more familiar face?

[ibarakasen]

Everywhere?

[higan_retour]

Well... not everywhere. But if I run into you somewhere I'm going to say something.

[ibarakasen]

Of course you are.

[higan_retour]

There's nothing strange about that.

[ibarakasen]

No. It's becoming quite familiar, in fact.

[higan_retour]

I get the feeling your thinking about me in an unfaltering light.

[ibarakasen]

You haven't done anything to paint yourself differently.

[higan_retour]

Least I'm not the one deceiving everyone.

[ibarakasen]

Deceiving everyone how? My wish to help is as honest as they come.

[higan_retour]

Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't, but while you might mean well in some way everyone things your an actual hermit.

[ibarakasen]

Humans accept help most readily from other humans.

[higan_retour]

It's still a deception.

[ibarakasen]

The ends will justify the means.

[higan_retour]

The means lead to a just end.

[ibarakasen]

For whom, I wonder.

[higan_retour]

To the one doing them of course.

[ibarakasen]

So you say now.
