Rebel 27 [Action | Written]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi is taking a rare day off from the clinic. Only it's not even really a full day; she's just stepping out for a while for some fresh air and a chance to actually check in on her housemates. Watching diligently over Tsubaki is still her top priority, of course, but she needs just a short break from the clinic.

So it's a quick trip back to House 48 first to look in on Tao and Thirteen and possibly get a bath. And some tea. It's been far too long since she was home long enough to really have a chance to sit with her "family" for a while.

Then from there, she'll be heading off to the library to grab some new reading material. There are several things she's been meaning to do some research on, and it's about time she got around to it. She'll be at the library for a few hours before heading back, pausing only to make a note in her journal:]

[Written | Locked 100% to McCoy and Kamui]

Could I speak with you two for a moment when I get back? Something has been brought to my attention that I think both of you need to be aware of as well.

Now, now, don't go getting ahead of yourself. [This good mood of hers is probably the only thing keeping her playful tone going here.]

Besides, I'm sure there's a girl closer to your age you'd be a far better match for, hm?

[generalflirt]

But if there's an older girl to be a sensei for me, I might learn more in the end! [Innuendo? Maybe]

[not_meatbuns]

[She just shakes her head. This boy. Honestly.]

I'm afraid that girl won't be me, Kida.

[generalflirt]

Shot down, already? [He sighs and shrugs dramatically here, leaning back before sitting down in the chair]

Some might call that harsh, Sensei...

[not_meatbuns]

It wouldn't be fair of me to string you along, Kida.

[She gently shuts her book and sits down across the table from him.]

[generalflirt]

But I like the chase, Litchi-sensei! [...That said, his accusation is ruined by his playful smirk here]

[not_meatbuns]

[Wry smile.] But you're chasing a woman whose mind is already made up.

[generalflirt]

A "no" is just something I need to turn into a yes in time! [Complete with a snap of his fingers]

[generalflirt]

But-! For now such a thing is beside the point! [And with a sweeping motion he sets that aside! This conversation, that is]

What are you reading, Sensei?

[Ignore the book in front of him now]

[not_meatbuns]

[So stubborn, Kida. Litchi sighs, but can't help but smile despite herself.]

It's just some research. I thought it best to find out more about a fairly serious illness here now before it becomes an issue later. It didn't even exist back home, so I'm afraid I have quite a bit to learn still.

Were you here to find something to read as well?

[generalflirt]

Eeeh... that's admirable, Litchi-sensei. I'm just re-reading something an old favorite.

[And here he holds up... Anne of Green Gables]

[not_meatbuns]

An old favorite, hm? [Soft chuckle.] I haven't read that book in ages, it seems.

[generalflirt]

Really-? It's a great work, filled with a vibrant girl~

[not_meatbuns]

I have to admit, it was always one of my favorites.

[generalflirt]

See...? Who doesn't love this work-?! [Complete with a little laugh here]
