[ The mess hall is a happening place. It's a good thing that she saw Belph's boarding pass before finding him so she can address him by name right away, isn't it? ]

Belph-san? Hello. Have you found your piano yet?

[ Because she doesn't know if she wants to know if it was magically stuffed into a box. ]

[axilium]

[it's a little weird to have someone he hasn't actually met yet use his name, but he doesn't particular react.]

Yep. Beau valiantly rescued it from its prison.

[wisterin]

[ She walks closer to him, and he may or may not notice that her nose is bruised or possibly a little broken. It's fine. ]

Valiantly, is it? Does it fit in your cabin?

[axilium]

Somehow.

[a beat.]

Did you at least win whatever fight you got into?

[wisterin]

Can I listen to you play sometime?

[ She's curious. Also, it might be nice with the backdrop of creepy fog and possible murder. Even if the camp directors said differently.

She brings a hand up to her nose. ]

It would have been better if this was from a fight. It was more of an experiment.

[axilium]

Not usually something people ask me in a first meeting, but sure.

Experiment?

[wisterin]

Was that too forward of me?

[ She looks a little apologetic. What she really misses is koto music, but beggars can't be choosers.

In lieu of words as an answer, she holds up her wrist with the scrunchie. ]

[axilium]

Less forward than Lili who just straight-up told me, "Play something."

[...]

You broke the rules so the universe punched you in retaliation, or...?

[wisterin]

[ She laughs softly. ]

If any of us had money, perhaps we should pay you for your time.

[ She makes so-so hand gesture. ]

My years of being graceful were apparently nothing in the face of the abrupt motion of the bus and its wall.

[axilium]

I really don't need money.

[please no]

... Ouch.

[wisterin]

Is there anything you would like in return?

[ Since she technically asked for a favor. ]

It'll heal. I'm not worried. It was a successful experiment.

[axilium]

If you could get alcohol, that'd be great.

[wisterin]

[ ... ]

I'll consider it. Is that the only thing you want?

[axilium]

What else do I need in life?

[wisterin]

A little happiness, perhaps?

[axilium]

Thus, the drinks.

[wisterin]

[ She tilts her head curiously. ]

Is that the only thing that gives you a little happiness?

[axilium]

Is there a reason you're asking?

[wisterin]

[ She smiles. ]

I'm fond of it when others are happy, but I know it's easier said than done.

[axilium]

Well, that's very kind of you.

[wisterin]

It's not what I try to be.

[axilium]

Oh? Then what would you say you try to be?

[wisterin]

Helpful. But I'm sure there are some here who would disagree.

[axilium]

A very important distinction, huh?

[wisterin]

It's not mutually exclusive, but yes, sometimes, a distinction has to be made.
