Late on the 6th [Voice]

Right, this is Smoker. I'm back in my own body, thanks to everyone who helped when I was a kid, and you know... during the shift.

Jitte and kickboxing lessons will be delayed until the 10th, but that doesn't mean stop practicing. Keep up the exercises, because I'll be very disappointed if any of you start slipping.

For anyone else interested in joining in, I teach basic self defense, kickboxing, and jitte. There are one-on-one sessions and group sessions, feel free to ask about a schedule because with the drafts ongoing, at least you can learn something to get a fighting chance for survival.

And who still here in the village knows anything about motorcycles? A friend recently reminded me life can be too short not to pursue some things.

Lupin, if you still remember the thing I asked Red about, I'd like to discuss it.

Kotomi-chan, if it's not a bad memory, whatever did happen with the paper your father was writing?

Maybe. But if they're just doing what they need to get it out of their system there's nothing wrong with that either.

Perhaps.

If they actually get it out of their system.

[Which he doubts.]

He'll kill me if I answer that.

It's up to him to tell you and how. But you wouldn't be amiss in acting like you know he does.

Perhaps I will be in no position to speak if things get bad for me here. [ Ikki did mention something about wishing Thanatos was using him as a human mop again. He really doubts it'll get that bad but well...never know. ]

Maybe, maybe not.

The Malnosso seem to target specific weaknesses, but there are many who find obstacles simply as something to overcome.

[Sure he sounds all wise and shit now, but just ask him how well he handled his own shift and he'll bitch and moan forever...]

[~~Yes~~... Well, it's not like she'll ask/he'll say anyway...]

Really? Is it because someone in your world can get that ability from a devil fruit?

And, blossom body parts? [Okay, that sounds weird.] Um, blossom like... a flower?

[This doesn't seem so bad, unless this fellow spends most his life at sea. (Would he drown in a pond?) ~~Everybody knows Belmonts have excellent drowning skills and they're not even cursed.~~]

Many drown anyway, uncursed as they are.

[He takes a long silent drink at that. Good god, he hated that.]

I really wish they would just give us a break sometimes.

I'm not saying nothing good can happen from the experiments, I'm just saying that if something can only happen in them that means that it just isn't really that good. Besides, even keeping the experiments aside it's just a mistake for her to be close to me.

.. I think this is all still really, really confusing, Smoker-kun..

[Exasperated sigh.]

How is it a mistake if she's happier and safer with you?

Because she's not "safer". And her happiness it's on limited time if it depends on me.

Love often is kiddo.

She is safer, and I didn't say it's dependent, it's helped.

Look, something bad can always go wrong no matter where you are. Death, getting shipped out, sent back home, whatever. But in the meantime, you don't stop living over it.

If you think it's such a bad idea, tell her the reasons why and let her decide. But don't decide for her that you're too much for her to handle. It's disrespectful and she deserves better than that.

Does Smoker-kun know a whole lot about it..?

... Smoker, which "them" are we talking about?

[ that's...technically how saints train. kind of. Except a large number just died from it. ]

I'll see in time I guess, if I hang around. [ because again Ikki makes it sound like he won't be here long. Hyoga's not really sure what to expect. ]

[Tsun tsun blushing everywhere.]

A decent amount.

[ Totally ignoring the tsun, she doesn't see it!! ]

That's amazing.. It must mean Smoker-kun is Luceti's love expert.

[Now Smoker's getting even more confused.]

Malnosso? [Blunt. Though originally he'd been thinking the other world's inhabitants or enclosed victims.]

[Yay for death's lack of permanency in Luceti then.]

You'll probably have more than enough time.

[That is one habit of Ikki's Smoker could do without.] Two to four years -- or more, should be enough time for anyone.

What?

[No. Sorry, Kotomi-chan, that's a massive what moment.]

Hah... hardly....

My experiences are more like a giant series of what not to do.

Ikki sort of pegged me right before.

In my world I didn't have time or patience for much more than one-night --

[Oh. Right. Kotomi-chan... he will just.... censor that train of though there.]

I'm still learning, I've just had time to have a lot more experiences. Usually negative.

I think if you asked, a lot of Luceti has been in love before. [He might be overestimating that given the number of teenagers, but whatever.]

It doesn't make them experts. Love is kind of too complicated like that. Someone in a stable relationship who didn't make mistakes wouldn't know how to handle them when they're made, but someone who makes a bunch would just be clumsy at it. You learn as you go, since it's always going to be different.

[Shudders a little at the idea he's an expert. Lol nope... he had to ask Ikki and Lupin for help. And it took him how long to make a move on Grell? Not to mention how messed up it got when she left. And he doesn't even want to think over the mess that is Valentine's in this place.] Either way, I'm definitely not an expert.
