Thank goodness.

[ Relieved sigh... ]

Although metal cats in bathtubs wouldn't be the first strange thing I've found out about this place.

[gimu]

What was the strangest?

[picky]

It's hard to pick just one. For one thing, there are metal hummingbirds flying all over this place. I see them carrying things sometimes! Someone could get hurt!

[eyescar]

Oh, you mean like Wasabi?

[ Yuji pouts, just a little bit. ]

He doesn't drop things, but he pecks me a lot...

[gimu]

Their carrying weight is considerable for something so tiny.

[ a pause, like he’s trying to hold out back but can’t quite help it]

Does Wasabi need… fixing?

[picky]

When you say "fixing"... What exactly do you mean?

[eyescar]

Brother... It's okay...

[ Pats Choso's arm gently... Please don't kill his drone... ]

1/2

[gimu]

What do you think I mean?

[gimu]

[ yuji’s pat is like a strange diffuser, a chemical dampening of Whatever That Was oozing up there.

choso sighs, a little dolefully. ]

Yes, yes.

[picky]

[



she's not answering that ]

L-Let's get going, huh?

[ TURNING AND WALKING! even if she doesn't know where she's going once they reach the exit! ]

Maybe you can take the bird to someone who can f-... Um, repair it for you? "Wasabi," right?

[eyescar]

It's just me he doesn't like, so it's not that big a deal. He still carries things for me, he just... Pecks me at the same time.

[ Let's go! Yuji is taking charge on this expedition, let's go see some cats! ]

[gimu]

I don’t want to break Wasabi. Just take a look.

[ with his blood ]

[eyescar]

Later, okay... Later.

[ Relax, darling brother... ]

[picky]

[ Cat time...! ]

It's your bird, but he doesn't like you? Did something happen?

[eyescar]

He came to me that way. Maybe LILITH was punishing me or something.

[ Wasabi is a grumpy boy. ]

[gimu]

Nefarious. It crashes into his head when it isn’t busy on an errand. [ has… has he been giving wasabi little errands to keep it busy? no, no, that would be meddling, surely.

but mayhaps… ? ]

[picky]

Maybe it'd be better to give it back to LILITH?

[ yuji your brain damage ]

[eyescar]

Nah, it's fine. He does his errands and likes the other birds, so it's cool. Megumi even made him a house. He can peck me as much as he likes.

[ This is the least of his worries when it comes to brain damage. ]

[picky]

[ A birdhouse... Cute. ]

Who's Megumi?

[gimu]

Don’t encourage Wasabi’s bad behaviors. What if it’s simply myopic?

[picky]

[ STAYS QUIET ]

[eyescar]

Choso... Now isn't really the time...

[ Nudge, come on... Let's go... ]

[gimu]

[ no response but to HUFF, not unlike a very large, very put-out husky. wasabi, you get off the hook this time… ]

[picky]

[ The whiplash from Choso's bloodlust to his gap moe... Someone could break their neck.

Marcille is in the middle of this, trying to gauge whether or not she should be with Choso without Yuji around. She should be careful with what she says. ]

Your best friend is here too? [ She looks worried. ] There are so many people you know that were taken here.

[eyescar]

My best friend!

[ Sorry Choso........... ]
