>”See? Pretty nice haul, huh?”
>He pauses briefly and chuckles to himself. “Although it's uh… a bit different than I imagined…”
“Well, it certainly makes our buckets heftier...”
>Ichi stops picking up candy and tilts his head at you. “Somethin’ the matter?”
“Well…”
>You pick up a piece of broken plastic and turn it around in your hand.
“I feel like I might have… misread her?”
>”The uhm… burly girl?”
“Yeah… I uhm… d-don’t like to judge a book by its cover! But it’s… hard when it’s an… admittedly scary book.”
>Ichi nods. “No, I hear ya… But it’s not like you’ll ever really know unless you get to talk to her again.”
“I suppose so… But I still feel bad.”
>You set aside the piece of plastic and get up, dusting the front of your dress off with a deep breath.
“Well, it’s not like we live in this neighborhood… The likelihood of us ever naturally crossing paths is fairly low… But one day I’d like to set the record straight.”
>”Ah, probability… don’tcha love it?”
“It… isn’t my favorite subject to study, I suppose.”
>”That sounds like Ceily for ‘no’.”
>You smile to yourself as you brush a bit of hair out of your eyes.
“Perchance.”
>Ichi scoffs theatrically. “You can’t JUST say that…”
“Mayhaps… I will.”
>“How devilish, Miss Maniac…”
”Snrk… Hex maniacs aren’t *devilish*... They’re just lovers of ghost types! One must respect the dead for them to respect you… and gain their boon!”
>You give an awkward little ‘wa ha ha’ and feel your face redden as you realize how silly you sound.
“Uhm… yeah.”
>Ichi gets up with a yawn. “Bah… Really should save my energy for the marathon!”
“Oh don’t try too hard… We both know we’ll be asleep by the halfway mark!”
>He flashes a grin as he takes a few steps down the stairs, you close behind. “I bet I can fall asleep before you.”
”Care to bet a peanut butter cup?”
>”Only if you bet some gummy sharks.”
“Make that TWO peanut butter cups and you might just have yourself a deal…”
>Ichi offers you a wing, which you take without a second thought. “Sounds like we’ve come to an accord…”
“Seems so!”
>Spirits much higher than before, the two of you make your way down to the sidewalk and begin to trek on home, unaware of the two sisters sitting in the window, watching you depart.
>”...You know, that pigeon manga that dork was yammering about is actually pretty-”
>”Hush, Hikki.”
>”Oh you’re no fun.”
A dumb little green to go with a halloween pic i never got to post last time we had a proper satyr thread… I think. Rusty as hell so hopefully it's not too awkward.
