...She wasn’t really expecting a handshake, but decided to just row with it once her hand was grabbed. What’s the harm. “Y’know. You probably should have just drank up.” Evidently, Cirche remembered how it started; but after a certain point it was all a fuzzy blur in her mind. “But forget that. Sorry for dragging you with me through the damage fees~” How nonchalant of her.

The twins had been apart before, but only at a maximum of two days and never too far apart in distance. Now they were separated by a long train ride and more than two days. Benkei was the first to cry, making Kira tear up. When asked about it, she just said “dumbass, I’m not cryin’, I have somethin’ in my eyes, that’s all”.

Been on any interesting jobs lately?”

"Hey, um...yeah, you. Do you know any places I could stay?”

She sighed. Spending all night reading hadn’t been a good idea. “No...I...I slept, I swear...”
