[The PCD falls out of Ai's pocket and hits the ground, flipping the video on. Like a lot of people, Ai is also enjoying the snowfall in her own way. Still dressed only in her white skirt and pink shirt, she sits on the ground and stares up at the snowflakes drifting down. She reaches up a hand, flakes instantly melting as soon as they get near it.]

Nee-san...

[She continues staring for a while longer before glancing down and noticing the PCD sitting next to her. Ai picks it up, only to jump when she realizes that it's on.]

Oh, I'm sorry about that! I didn't realize this got turned on. Um...

[Ai thinks for a bit, then smiles brightly.]

It's getting a lot colder out, so if anyone needs some blankets or a warm place to stay then please feel free to ask. I don't have a whole lot, but I'm willing to give them out if anyone needs them.

[Ai smiles slightly and nods.]

I have two. Akemi-neesan and Kai-neesan. They're not too much older, though.

yes, I do. Still, there's plenty of floor space, and I wouldn't mind going and finding some more blankets or something for people to sleep on. It's not much, but at least it's warm.

Two older sisters? Heh, just like me. Except I do consider them quite older than me.

[He laughs a bit.]

I guess you should be more careful. You might end up being used in the end, offering your help like that.

[soothing_flame]

Really? How much older are they?

[Head tilt.]

Used how? I really don't mind the company.

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

My oldest sister is nine years older than me, the other one six years. How about yours?

You know if somebody just wants to lazy out they would make you do all the chores.

[soothing_flame]

Let's see....Akemi-neesan is 21 minutes older, and Kai-neesan is 14 minutes older.

That's fine. The house isn't too big, so it doesn't take much time to clean it anyway.

[Perfect housewife/doormat here.]

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

Minutes? [He's blinking before he lets out another amused laugh.]
Now that is really close.

So you basically say you don't mind if you would be used like that?

[soothing_flame]

It is, but it really feels like they're a lot older than me. Especially Kai-neesan...

[Her eyes lower for a moment, the smile sliding from her face until she shakes her head and plasters it back on.]

To be honest, I'd be using them just as much. Doing the chores would only make things even.

[She's a social butterfly, and living in a house with no one else is lonely.]

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[He notices that, but he won't call out on that yet.]

Heh, so that means you are more used to live with a large group of people?

[soothing_flame]

Yes. My siblings and I all used to live together, and then for a while we were staying at a building where all of our friends were gathered. This is the first time I've ever been out on my own.

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

Hmm, strangely I can relate to that somewhat as well. You didn't ask for a flatmate before?

[soothing_flame]

Ah, no, I haven't. I figured I should try to find an extra bed first so everyone has someplace comfortable to sleep. The couch isn't really big enough to use as a permanent bed.

So have you always lived with other people?

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

Isn't it hard for a girl like you to carry a bed there?

Kind of, yes. I grew up in a dojo.

[soothing_flame]

I'll figure all that out once I actually find one.

[One step at a time, man.]

That sounds really exciting. So are you a great martial artist?

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

Exciting, huh? [There's an unreadable look on his face before it turns back into the standard smirk.]
Yes, I studied under Kondou-san. He is the best teacher.

[soothing_flame]

Any particular martial arts style?

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

Tennen Rishin-Ryu was the swordstyle I was taught.

[soothing_flame]

I'd like to see some of your moves at some point if you have the time.

[Preferably not used against her.]

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

Well, you could watch me practice. It's not like it's a secret fighting style.

[If there is no reason, then...!]

[soothing_flame]

Alright! Let me know the next time you decide to practice, ok?

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

That is daily.

[soothing_flame]

So tomorrow, then?

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

Sure.
