How'd it go?

At least they can live a little longer, though, right? And be able to be with the people they love... at least for awhile.

[persequor]

[ Arya doesn't answer. She strokes Nymeria's fur. ]

[not_mafia]

Maybe one day we'll figure out how this castle works. And then people could go and come as they please.

[persequor]

I'm not going back.

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna looks at Arya for a bit.]

Someone's gotta figure it out eventually, right? Maybe... it'll be in a few months, or maybe a few years. Maybe several years. So what if you left a note here? Maybe to a close friend who's been here awhile. Then if you get sent back, when we've got the castle figured out, we could come and bring you back.

[persequor]

[ She scoffs. ]

If I go back, it'll be to die.

[not_mafia]

People get taken from all sorts of times here, though. So maybe when we get it figured out, we'd be able to travel to any point of time we want.

I mean, our emotions are fuel for the castle, right? But what if we found something else that the castle could use? There's no reason it shouldn't give us what we wanted then, right?

[persequor]

Try asking it.

[not_mafia]

The castle? But no one's ever been able to talk with it. At least... not that I heard of.

[persequor]

Do you know what a jape is?

[not_mafia]

A jape? [Hadn't Arya said that before? When she was talking about Zelos?] ... it's like a trick, isn't it?

[not_mafia]

[...oh.]

...oh. [derp]

[persequor]

[ She smiles briefly. ]

You can't tell anyone.

[not_mafia]

I won't.

Are you ready to head back yet?

[persequor]

Fine.

[not_mafia]

We can stay a little longer if you'd like. [He looks towards the forest.] There's something I want to try doing anyway.

[persequor]

What?

[not_mafia]

I wanted to practice flying in the woods with my flames. [So he can fly through a high-traffic environment if the situation ever came up. But mostly so he can properly race Arya.]

[persequor]

You best not leave a trail here. I don't want people finding this place.

[not_mafia]

[Hmmm] I'll practice a little ways away from here to make sure. I'll come back in about half an hour. Does that sound good?

[persequor]

Sure.

[not_mafia]

Okay. I'll be back before you know it!

[And then he closes his eyes, letting the dying will flame erupt on his forehead. Opening his now amber-colored eyes, he spreads his palms at the ground, and blasts his flames, taking off.]

[persequor]

[ Nymeria barks. Arya makes a sound of agreement. ]

Show off.
