Nice of them to leave my jacket. [AWKWARD PAUSE. The voice coming from Smoker's journal account is not his usual. Or from a male at all.]

What's with my voice?! [That just squeaks there in high-pitched worry.]

Ah hell... I have boobs.

Fuck you Malnosso.

[He... she rather, clears her voice.]

S-Smoker is back... [That's a bit hesitant.] Ikki, he... he might need help. Jitte and kickboxing lessons will return to normal, sorry everyone about the delay. Could I have a headcount of everyone still wishing to take them? I might need to reorganize his schedules.

[The last part is muffled as he starts to shut the journal.]

Damn it! These jeans are way too big! Now what?!

[He might go back to unzippered then. He's not used to having his chest covered, even in the middle of winter.]

[And he waves.]

Grune. [He hates his female voice. It's grating and not deep, and squeaks to easily. Like Ikki and Lupin said, it's hard to sound firm and intimidating like this. But he has yet to figure out how to switch tactics.] How's your day going?

[She waves back, then comes to pull out a chair and sit down across from him.]

Oh, my day is going very well. What about you?

[Well....]

[A shrug.]

Better than my last month and a half. [He'd give her one of his infamous stares, but those are even less effective than his voice right now. So just big eyes focused her way with an arched eyebrow.]

Your last month and a half?

[Yeah, even the full-powered stare would have absolutely no effect on Grune. Sorry, Smoker.]

[It's true. And he knows it. It's just the principle of the thing.]

I was kidnapped by the Malnosso. [Gestures down vaguely at the boobs :|] Thus why I'm shorter. And a girl. [He's not entirely sure if she realized he was male before...]

[She did actually notice! ...Albeit in her vague way.

She looks a little startled at his words, however.]

Were you really gone for that long?

[That's a very long time to be away from your friends.]

Yes.

It took me awhile just to find out how long it was. Like I said... if I ever claim I want silence again just remind me of this time.

[At that, she actually reaches out and covers his hand over his coffee mug with hers.]

I'm sorry you were alone for such a long time. I'm glad you're back now.

[Don't mind him getting mentally a little freaked out by that. Though he'll try to stay cool.]

Thanks. How's everything in the village been?

[Fortunately for him, she soon takes her hand back.]

Oh, things have been very good. There was a scavenger hunt and Helios had a snow sculpture contest!

[And there was a weekend at the end of January that everyone forgot and Ginia ran a town meeting...but you know.]

Snow sculpture?

[That's okay, he already heard about those things. And he's trying to put together pieces, so this helps.] Who won? Did you enter?

Hmm.... I don't know. But I went and looked at everybody's sculptures and told them, "Good job!"

That was nice of you. What about the scavenger hunt?

Oh, everyone went around the village looking for nice things or answering questions. It was a lot of fun!

[She tilts her head to one side just a little.] Maybe we can have another one, so you can play, too.

[Waves a hand.] I'm sure I'd be bad at it.

Who organized it?

Hmm.... I wonder.

[She just sort of stumbled onto it.]

[Facepalms and drinks his coffee.]

So what were people looking for in it?

Oh, all kinds of things.

Got anything more specific?

Hmm....

[Nope.]

[Why does he talk to her again?]

All right. Thanks for trying. So no shifts or someone running around attacking the villagers?

[Not for the scintillating conversation, that's for sure.]

Why would someone do something like that?

[Oh well. He'll keep on keeping on.]

We've been over this before Grune. Some people are bad.

[She just shakes her head. It's too bad Smoker still thinks like that. She'll have to work very hard to change his mind.]

Well, everyone was very nice while you were away. [Except for the part where her boyfriend cast a mindcontrol spell on one of her best friends. But she doesn't know about that.] There's nothing to worry about.

[Oh dear.]

Sounds boring. [Or it would, if he really believed it was that quiet. He heard about Tony's fight club after all.]
