[Today, Isa's in one of the 'outside' rooms of the place - one where it's night, despite what time it might otherwise be in the dressing room. A full moon is hanging overhead.

And sitting on a rock with a sword nearby, is Isa. He's being remarkably quiet even, and is barely moving. What exactly he thinks he's doing there... well, you'd have to ask him, but it certainly looks like he might well intend to stay there all night.]

[Hm. Well, if he says he is...]

That's good, then. You just - look like something's going on.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

We're talking. That's all, really.

[There's a half-shrug at that.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Who's 'we'?

[He frowns.]

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[Isa just points to the silvery circle of the moon.]

I thought I wouldn't be able to here.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

...I didn't think anyone could anyway. [Rather matter of fact.]

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause before he speaks.]

I asked. That's why I can.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

You just ... asked?

[He looks up at it.]

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

It ... was a special kind of asking.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

It'd - have to be.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

It helps. When I need it to.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He looks curious.] How so? What does it ... say?

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

Warnings sometimes, or how to take care of things. Sometimes glimpses of things that haven't happened yet.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He gives a quiet whistle.] That's ... impressive.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

It wasn't without its cost.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. I think a lot of things aren't.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[Another pause and a shrug.]

I needed the help, though. I can live with what I had to pay.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[His innate curiosity gets the better of him.]
And that's-? ...If you don't mind me asking.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

My life is theirs. [A pause and he shakes his head] Hers. When the time comes.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

O... kay. [A bit of a confused frown. A bit of a sad one, too.]

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

It's not going to be for a while though, I think.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

I ... hope not. I really do. [Eheh...]

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

I saw myself older once, so...

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

You did? [Huh.] Well... I guess it's not surprising, around here. I've heard about older versions of me a lot.

[atmoonrise.livejournal.com]

[There's a blink and Isa shakes his head.]

Not here. There.

[He points at the moon again.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

...Oh. That's a bit different.
