[There’s a tap-tap-tap on the line, probably her checking to make sure the mic is working. Gosh, she hopes he got someone to explain these things to him like she’d gotten...
Actually she’s not positive this is working but she is trying anyway.]
This is Konoha... The jinba!
[Just in case he forgot her name... He’s probably met a lot of people by now?]
He pauses to look down at his wrist. It's emitting a sound? No, it's allowing for communication from far away. That's right, he heard it had this capability. ]
What's happened. [ She's contacting him because someone has done something, right? He is getting up and resting his hand on the hilt of Bakusaiga, waiting for what she has to say. ]
[ He acknowledges who she means with a nod, even if it can't be seen. ]
That fight was nothing more than a farce. He nearly killed me, but I am fine. That person has been taken down by the efforts of myself and others. He is lucky that we did not cleave his head from his shoulders, but perhaps... he will wish we did one day.
[“He nearly killed me” is not a statement Konoha expects to hear followed up with “I am fine”. She’d known she’d be a burden in that arena, so she’d gotten free of it as soon as possible, hadn’t watched the final fight...
There’s a long, shocked pause, before-]
You’re really alright? You’re sure? I have some food, do you need any? Bandages?
[ That should solve all anxiety about it, right? ]
Why wouldn't it be easy for us? Even my half-brother is capable of healing from being run through. What happened to me is nothing I couldn't recover from. [ So long as he was given chroma, anyway. ]
Of course! It’s hard work up there, and sure there’s some dangers, but the pay is good, I can get home early enough to help with dinner, and there’s always something beautiful no matter what season it is... and I like the sounds. Especially bush warblers.
[She sort of imagined most demons lived deep in the mountains and forests, actually-]
[ A simple sound in response to hers about liking the mountains. ]
I have no complaints with them. [ He's spent time on mountains, in fields, in forests, in many places. There aren't many locations that he has issues with -- save those close to humans where they wish to meet their end by his blade. But eh, details. ]
Fireflies are easily seen. [ A sudden comment, but he remembers Rin being fascinated by them whenever they happened to come across them. Apparently, they're a novelty? Or something to be enjoyed? ]
[ He's mildly surprised when she stops describing those things that she likes. His head tilts slightly, but he focuses on the question instead. ]
I do prefer them. I have not been in any domicile for longer than a day. I did not even accept one of their "apartments" when they offered it. [ HE'S A HOBO! AS ALWAYS! ]

Date: 2019-07-16 12:35 am (UTC)[She doesn’t know if it’s good to bring up- Men had their pride, after all, let alone demon men? It seemed?
But she forged ahead despite.]
I saw your match with Matthias- the blonde human... but I heard the champion was really strong...

Date: 2019-07-16 12:52 am (UTC)I am fine. But I could eat. [ He blinks slow, confused by her panic. ] There's no need for that because I have already healed. [ ? ]

Date: 2019-07-16 12:59 am (UTC)[He wouldn’t lie about being healed, right? She hopes... Matthias had about hi— sort, it seemed.
You did? Is... healing easy for demons?

Date: 2019-07-16 01:09 am (UTC)You can heal from all that? How amazing...
[Okay... she gets the phrasing now.........]
- and you have a half brother? Is he here, too?

Date: 2019-07-16 01:45 am (UTC)Well, there are wolves here, just not the one that bit me... that was in my own world.
I work on the mountains so sometimes there’s wolves, or bears...
And I heard some people become half wolf when the moon changes?
no subject
Date: 2019-07-16 03:18 am (UTC)Yes, that is something that supposedly happens. [ He's yet to suffer that, however, but boy, he's going to be real stoked when it happens. ]
Do you like the mountains? [ There is no point in asking her why she works somewhere so dangerous. If she couldn't, she wouldn't, right? ]
no subject
Date: 2019-07-16 03:26 am (UTC)[She is going to be... equally stoked. Yipes.]

Date: 2019-07-16 03:42 am (UTC)[And despite some of the questionable comments he’s made so far...
He knows of a world like hers. Well, close enough that she can talk to him without much confusion. And in a place like this...
Plus. She’d watched his match with Matthias. He hadn’t killed him.]
And there’s the snow on Mt. Tsurugi... and the wisteria vines...
[Crap, she’s making herself homesick-]
Do you prefer the green area then to all the “apartments”? We could eat there!
no subject
Date: 2019-07-16 03:51 am (UTC)I do prefer them. I have not been in any domicile for longer than a day. I did not even accept one of their "apartments" when they offered it. [ HE'S A HOBO! AS ALWAYS! ]
So eating there is fine.

Date: 2019-07-16 03:59 am (UTC)[She’s trying!]
I could meet you there! Um... There’s a really big group of cedars, do you know it?
