More importantly, now that I'm here, am I really expected to procure food and clothing for myself? That is what I have been thinking about. It's rude to spring something on someone like this.

[Give her a break, she's small. Well, more importantly, she's used to being given things, or to hunting food if really need be - but usually if she's in the woods eating small birds, she doesn't need clothes anyway! Look, if they want her to be stuck in society like this, they're going to have to take responsibility.]

"Rude" is something of an understatement, little one.

They don't deserve the time it takes for nicer words. Rude is still appropriate. And bothersome, I am bothered.

[She tries not to look amused. But she is, mildly, if only because that is the least of her complaints about this place.] You have had some difficulty with aforementioned tasks, I gather?

I find it presumptuous, taking someone from their business and forcing them into your own, and then neglecting an important routine. Usually Granny feeds me, but if she's not here to do that, who will, hmm? No answer? Yes, exactly, it's wrong.

[It isn't actually so grave a concern for Shijima, either, but little snipes like these keep her feeling more lively. Her real complaints are to be kept personal, by and large.]

I will make no argument there. [Presumptuous, wrong, rude. All perfectly applicable words.] How old are you, if I may ask? [She looks quite young. But Galadriel, of all people, knows that appearances may be deceiving.]

I am just a little girl. Not very big at all, you see? [But that's an intentionally cagey answer; she's much too old for her childish face. Still, she supposes that's her own business.]

[And don't think that non-answer goes unnoticed, even if it does go unremarked upon.]

So I do. [A thoughtful little hum] Far be it for me to leave a child to her own devices; I would offer you my aid, if it pleases you.

Precisely. There isn't much to go around, especially with more and more people showing up.

So they leave the burden to us. Hmmmnn.

Yes. Well. Circumstances are less than perfect here. We should be glad this base is still standing at the moment.

I'm not glad, I'm just not turning purple in space.

You sure sound entitled.

Not as entitled as someone demanding that I do their dirty work for them. It's not at all in my nature.

They aren't so much entitled as they are desperate. It can affect your world, too, remember.

Well maybe that doesn't necessarily concern me either.

No? Then food and clothing are probably the least of your worries here.

So what should I be worried about?

Maybe I should rephrase that... Are you really only worried about yourself?

You could say yes, or you could say no. I have interests other than 'myself,' but when I worry about them, I am only worried because they are my interests, which could be called self-centered. So it depends on whether you like the answer 'yes' or 'no' better.

That's a precise, yet annoyingly sensible answer if I've ever heard one. Point taken.

Resources are limited here, everyone must look after themselves for now. Is it really so unpleasant?

[He doesn't have to eat or wear clothes except when he's using his weapon form and it comes with clothes so... Perhaps this kind of place is best suited for All Mates instead.]

It's very unpleasant. I'm displeased and offended. [And frank about it to boot.]

Do you need assistance? As an All Mate, I don't need to find food or clothing for myself, so I do not mind helping if you need it. My apologies that you are offended.

[Even if it isn't his fault they're stuck here, still... She's new, so he should help her out, right?]

It certainly is. It is such a pain to have to go back in time just to get my things dry cleaned.

That's right... Clothes need to be washed... I need to be washed...

[shijima....... no but, he expected this.]

You didn't make this call just to complain, did you? [wait who is he kdidng]

That's exactly why I did it. Do you think I ever learned about cooking? Did I ever sit down and learn about how to do food acceptably? And how often do you think I'm given a proper bath? I sure am sorry for you, who doesn't have the nice warm shower hose that my house does. Except now all of a sudden, I don't have it either.

[Shiratama was rather spoiled by the Rokujou household...]

[it doesn't help that he's probably spoiled her as well as 'Kouichi'....]

I think we both know that I'll end up taking care of those things for you. [dryly]

Or maybe it's time you started learning. That would be something different, wouldn't it? And it'd be something to do in this place, at least.

[can he tempt shijima into responsibility]

Don't try to con me, bird.

[No-nonsense!! (All nonsense......)]

I can't promise that it'll be fun, but it might even be interesting!

[neeeeedling, they can get up to the best things]

You'll manage.

Whether or not I'll manage isn't the question. I always manage.

See? No problem at all. You might just make it out of this alive.
