It's fading. A dream set in stone is not as strong as a dream in mists, both will fade under the careless hands of nature and time. Here it seems I have grown too confined in my solitude. It is hard to remember the sounds and force the letters together.

I should step outside.

But endless streets lay ahead outside, hollow, empty, without any true purpose. I grow tired of such. I want to go back home, to where I can hear the ocean and run along the worn paths tread upon by my ancestors...

[ The feed clicks on to video, Takegami is nursing a cracked lip, a fresh bruise forming on one cheekbone. Despite the obvious signs of having been in a fight and his depressed words, he has an almost maniac cheer about him. He twists his head to one side, then the other and smiled. ]

I really dislike the drinking climate here. No one [ Raises a finger, and yes, his knuckles are bruised ] can throw a decent punch.

Sometimes I do get the urge to wax poetic.

[ Stops spinning and sighs, eyes closing a little. ] The women certainly loved it. You should some Japanese.

Well to each their own.

Then why don't you teach me some, Teijirou?

[onemoredeath]

I should?

[feel_nevermore]

You could.

[onemoredeath]

Ah... I suppose I could. [ The other offers to other people had been jokes. This however would not be a joke. ]

We could meet at the coffe shop once a week. No need to make it too formal, right?

[Video - Private]

[onemoredeath]

Yes. We could do that.

[She listens and repeats what he said most carefully. It shows that it's not the first time she's learning a foreign language.] Oyasumi nasai.

[ He smiles; that was the first time someone actually came close to a proper accent in his opinion. ]

Very good.

[feel_nevermore]

[She nods slightly in thanks.] I'm told I'm a fast learner. [Said matter-of-factly. She knows seven human languages, not to mention the demon languages.] I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the coffee shop, then.

Enjoy the stars.
