[whoot, he's... almost fully healed, thanks to his boyfriend and a Kairi's careful bandaging. he's thinking, however, that there should be a lot more safety around. so he's carrying that knife that he was given around. he has no clue how to use it, so he's in the library. there's manuals for these kinds of things, right? ... right?]

... The Certified Manual of Peanut Butter? How does that work?

I'd assume it tells you every use you can think of for peanut butter.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[... takes the book, flipping through--makes a face.]

Peanut butter heart?

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Heart-shaped?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

... it doesn't have a picture--

[flips page.]

... n-n-nevermind.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should read something else then.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to see if there's a manual on how to use a knife.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Why would you want to know that?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[looks over at her.]

In case I get in trouble, I have to actually know how to use this thing.

[takes a switchblade out of his pocket. :|;]

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Start practicing then. It takes a while to master.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[eep. D:]

... I-I guessed.

[clumsy flip open. ... o stuttersora, you would not make a good gang member.]

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

First hand experience would probably be better than a manual. That's true for any weapon.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[... looks at the blade, then weakly jabs at a shelf--... and now it's stuck.]

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

...You'll have to work harder than that.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

I've never fought before!

[yank yank--jfkdl;sd but he's pretty good at gymnastics. he ends up rolling safely and sighing after the force of yanking the blade out of the wood spends him onto the ground.]

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Well you don't seem all that clumsy. Just inexperienced.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[scratches the back of his head.]

It's the gymnastics.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

It'll come in handy if you really want to learn to fight.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[sigh.]

I do. It'll just be hard.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Let me know how far you get.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[slumps a little.]

I guess I will.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

...You have a teacher in mind?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[... sheepish headshake.]

I'll find someone.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

What are you going to do, put an ad in the paper?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[looks at her, considering.]

... man, you're really sarcastic. You and Riku could go at it.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Hmph. Which Riku?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

My best friend.

[grins.]

He and Roxas always piss each other off. I bet you could get them to stop with your wit. If nothing else, it'd shock 'em.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

What, because most other Kairis are all sweet and kind?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

Including the one we know, yup!

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

Figures. I'm used to being the odd one out by now though. ...Were you surprised by it?

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

Not really. I think I'm used to it now.

[silentinterror.livejournal.com]

...Oh. Well, good. You shouldn't let anything in this place surprise you.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

Guess not.
