It wasn't so bad.

(He laughs. It was his last resting place before he was summoned and one of his longest lasting places in his history.)

I like it out here more, though.

Your basement isn't a renowned museum, you know.

[ Until he transforms into a legitimate sword, Sooyoung will just assume that he's a shut-in. ]

At least you fight better than an average shut-in.

[cranekin]

It wasn't my basement.

(The whole thing was his home??? Wow, she really doesn't believe him...)

Are you surprised?

(That he can handle himself??)

[plagiarists]

Just glad that your ass doesn't need saving during missions.

[ Glad feels like too much of a word, but she can give him that (no, she is glad). ]

So, shouldn't you be looking for someone to wield you or I don't know... swords need maintenance.

[ Believing him is one thing. Indulging him is another. ]

[cranekin]

Are you offering?

(Is she?

He asks casually but... it has been on his mind. It's something he needs to figure out before its too late.)

[plagiarists]

I might be perfect, but I'm not sure if I can do this kind of thing. I've just seen a guy polish his sword, so if that's enough for you, then maybe I'm offering.

[ It's not much, but it's honest work. ]

1/2

[cranekin]

...

(He sure is just. Watching her. Considering. Thinking. Really dragging this out.)

[cranekin]

I'll think about it.

(ALL OF THAT SUSPENSE FOR NOTHING.)

[plagiarists]

Are you kidding me...

[ She's so tired, oh so tired. Actually, to make herself feel better, Sooyoung just pinches both of his cheeks and stretches them. ]

As you can see, I'm very gentle.

[cranekin]

(STOP, SET HIM FREE.)

Don't manhandle me, I'm a treasure...!

[plagiarists]

I'm cherishing you right now.

[ After one more cheek stretch she'll pat his head. What a weird guy. ]

A sword or not, I'm interested in your story now. It better not be some slice of life, though.

[cranekin]

It depends on what you mean by slice.

(Get it......)

[plagiarists]

I can't believe you made that joke, gramps.

[ She hates that she gets it. ]

[cranekin]

Are you surprised?

(Good.)

If you want a story... you'll have to give something in return. After all, a crane's gifts dont' come for free.

[plagiarists]

How about a story for a story? I'm no crane, but I don't like giving things for free.

[ That's not exactly true, but no one's here to debunk this, so she can lie as much as she wants. ]

[cranekin]

... A story for a story.

(Yes, that sounds fair. He'll agree to it.)
