[Yes, he fails at filters.]

General question for all of you. What would you-...

[No, that's not a good idea. He doesn't need that, she has told him several times, right? She likes books, which means a book is probably the best gift, he doesn't need to ask what to give her. A book will do. She also liked the plushies he gave her before so there's that, maybe he can get a teddy bear for her on top of it, since if she loves books that much she probably has read a lot of them.

Then again, maybe that only applies to the ones in her world, and there are way too many books in the world to read them all anyway. Yes, that sounds like a good question. He clears his throat a bit.]

Book recommendations. Anyone knows of interesting books to read? Novels, tales, science, any theme will do.

[She probably will enjoy it either way so... Should he ask that it won't be too complicated? No, even if she reads them to him as well he can ask if he doesn't get something. It's a gift just for her after all.]

I don't get lost finding my way to the toilet!

[uccellodifuoco]

Well, it's big now. And dark at night. Wouldn't be so hard.

[selphie_t]

I'm not afraid of the dark, Ikki.

[uccellodifuoco]

I would hope so, you're old enough now. But even so, big and dark don't match well.

[selphie_t]

Even if they're big and dark, I can fight.

[uccellodifuoco]

Funny that you mention fighting when I'm just talking about getting lost, don't tell me you're actually considering that something may lurk around the mansion and try to jump at you during the night? Want me to go and check your wardrobe before you go to sleep?

[That probably happened at least once in that alternate world, when they were veeeery little.]

[selphie_t]

[Wait... what? Ikki quit trolling your sister.]

Wha...? IKKI!

[And then she's pouting at you dude. Look at what you've done.]

[uccellodifuoco]

[He loves that sound, okay? If she didn't made that sound while yelling his name and pouting like that this wouldn't be so fun. He just laughs.]

It was too good to let it pass, Selphie.

[selphie_t]

Meanie!

[uccellodifuoco]

[That hurts so much, only not, still chuckling.]

What if I say I'll make it up for you?

[selphie_t]

Oh?

[Well now that you've got her all curious Ikki...]

[uccellodifuoco]

That was a fast recovery... Maybe I don't need to make up for anything after all.

[Whistles innocently.]

[selphie_t]

Do I have to come over there and give you a piece of my mind, buster?

[uccellodifuoco]

You know you're always welcome to visit. You don't need Hyoga to go and drag you here, do you?

[selphie_t]

Depends on how badly I need to stop you from doing something dumb again.

[uccellodifuoco]

I didn't know that wanting to be alone was "something dumb". Thanks for the input.

[selphie_t]

Wanting to be alone is fine. Banging your head on the wall is not.

[uccellodifuoco]

[There's a "bah" sound here.]

Maybe I wouldn't feel like doing so if that stupid dog didn't insist in bringing here half of the village when I told him to go away.

[It wasn't half of the village, Ikki. It was just Kotomi and Selphie...]

[selphie_t]

Ikki... you scared me when that happened.

[uccellodifuoco]

[.................. There...... is...... a...... huge...... pause...... Like freaking big before he speaks.]

Sorry.

[selphie_t]

It's okay.

[uccellodifuoco]

Hn.

[No, he doesn't know what else to say. You know he's no good with those things, apologizing, being grateful, accepting gratitude...]

[selphie_t]

Just don't do it again.

[uccellodifuoco]

I will try not to.

[But he will make no promises.]

[selphie_t]

Good.

[She can tell.]
