[The bibliophiles who frequent the library nearly 24/7 may notice an unusual addition to their numbers. Especially since despite being in a library surrounded by books that could go up in flames rather easily, he doesn't stop smoking. Ever. Not even the two cigars at once. And any protests about this will generally be met with a steely glare and impervious silence. For a while he was trying to get info on magic, but since these books tend to be more highly sought after and Smoker wasn't having much luck with it, he's currently hoarding a small stockpile of books on politics, military tactics, history, and apparently crime novels -- about which he has a grip to ask (quietly) out loud into the journal.]

Is it possible to have gone through all the mystery novels in this place?

And does anyone have something with more actual mystery to it? These are pretty weak. Damn what I wouldn't give for a daily newspaper.

Hm. Over half a year, but there's some people who've been her for almost three.

That's a lot... Specially the ones who have been here for three years.

Do you miss your home?

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Not really. I miss some of my friends though.

[flameschanged.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the same thing?

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Maybe. My friends are spread out in my world though. Some of them raced ahead of me in the marines to achieve higher ranks, some dropped out to go into bounty hunting to spend more time with their family. So "home" is a little confusing for me. I'm not sure where it is.

It's where the things you want to protect are.

[Blinks at the thought bubble, huh. So the Malnosso really are recycling things.]

That's all spread out. And the people I want to protect are strong and have things they want to protect as well. So I follow my justice. And if that leads to an ocean away or a world away, I guess that means I'm still home.

It's good to have such a wide home. Mine is small.

[And not here, Ikki can't help to make a disgusted expression at the memory. It's so strange to go from thinking of nothing else but Shun to not have to do so because the baby wasn't there.]

Small's not bad either. So long as you know where you stand and what for.
