Looks like we got a lot of cool new things after wrapping up that last story, and I'm still debating what to pick.

But I've been wondering about these eggs. Sure they say they could hatch and be friendly companions, but...

Do you think they would make good omelets?



Okay, okay, I'm kidding, I really wouldn't try to eat one (sorry Kotori—and Eizen, too, I guess) dragon omelet sounds kind of cool though but how would we go about hatching these things, anyway? Anyone got one yet and found out?

Starting to think that maybe boiling the dragon ones might not be such a bad idea...

[Is he serious? Is he not serious? Would he really try to cook the egg? It's Rokurou.]

Why have an omelette when you could raise it like livestock to eat it's meat later? Heck, if it's female, maybe it'll give you more eggs.

[These are some sharp scribbles coming from "Kazuma"]

[rokubro]

I thought about the former, but if it's a female then I'd have to find a male for it and not sure if I want to deal with a hormonal dragon.

[But.

...

Wait.]

Surprised you'd suggest something like that, though.

[A little. On the one hand he could see Kazuma suggesting something practical, but it's the second half that reads a little weird. Would he really say (or write) something like "heck"...?]

[chippedsoul]

Just introduce her to Eizen. [That'll go well.]

Is it now?

[rokubro]

[...YEAH THAT'S DEFINITELY. NOT RIGHT???]

You definitely wouldn't suggest something like that.

[chippedsoul]

Maybe not him, but I would~

Lizard man seems lonely anyway. I'm sure he could use the company. [...Yea, he'll probably think of a better nickname later.]

[rokubro]

[Not him...? ..........Goddammit.]

Hyde? Is that seriously you? What the hell did something happen to Kazuma again??

[chippedsoul]

Kazuma this, Kazuma that. Who cares??? [There are few ink splatters, indicating this was not what he wanted to be talking about.]

He's taking a nice long nap, so quit worrying.

[rokubro]

[What a brat. Rokurou just sighs behind the journal and wonders if he should do anything or just...leave it. As long as Hyde isn't provoked then no harm, but. It's Hyde. It's not like he needs much.

Well if he's being public about it, others are probably aware as well. For now he'll just keep the psycho entertained.]

I'm not the one who should be worrying.

So enjoying your "freedom" I guess?

[chippedsoul]

Of course! No one likes being locked up all the damn time. I'm making the most of it. [Which could mean, anything. It probably won't take long for the reports to start coming in.]

Might as well get used to it. I'm not going back.

[rokubro]

Have you two ever thought about going to couples therapy and working out some kind of agreement over the custody of the body?

[Half joking. Half serious.]

[chippedsoul]

Funny, and unnecessary. This body is mine now.

[rokubro]

Until someone or Kazuma himself seals you in again, and then the cycle continues.

[Idle twirl of his quill.]

But I'm not your keeper. Doesn't really matter much to me if you're out and around or not -- if anything you make for fun fights, so I'm not going to mind. But I am curious. What do you actually wanna do with this new freedom of yours?

[Hey, he likes Kazuma and all, and he'd help him out, but Hyde does give him a challenging fighting partner and Rokurou isn't exactly on the side of "good." So he's not going to proactively try and wrangle the guy right away. Other people can deal with whatever problems Hyde brings up, he'll just join in for the fighting. Sorry, Kazuma.]

[chippedsoul]

That won't happen. Things are going to be different from here on out.

[His ego never really shuts off, does it? At his question, he pauses to think about it for a moment. He hadn't really thought on it too much, still adjusting to having all this freetime.]

Maybe find my own place to settle in, leave my mark in this town, and fight anyone who looks like a challenge or gets in my way.

[rokubro]

[Uh huh. Hyde can't see it but Rokurou just has the wry, "Uh huh, sure, you keep telling yourself that," expression.

But, huh. That sounds a lot simpler and more mundane than he would have expected................but he's not going to say that lest he gives the guy ideas and then everyone runs to blame him for making things worse.]

Do I have to schedule myself in for one of those fights?

[chippedsoul]

You want to go down right now? [What schedule?]

[rokubro]

Thought you'd never ask. Where are we meeting?

[chippedsoul]

I'd say somewhere around town, but I suppose the beach will do this time. [He totally wants to destroy things.]

I know a nice cove where no one will bother us.
