016 [Action - forward dated to Saturday morning]

[deathsdoctor]

Sumire, quit it…

[Ah, the trials of pet ownership. Especially pet ownership on a Saturday morning when all you want to do is sleep in and the cat? The cat won’t quit until she gets a little love and attention.

Even if it means she has to use such underhanded tactics as kneading a guy in the breasts with her claws out.




…

… breasts!?]

HNN!

[Yeah, he – wait, no, she, has nothing more to say about that. Female. Woman. Right. Like he… argh… SHE had a run in with Emporio Ivankov, and this is just a Devil Fruit effect. Rolling out of bed now. Staring in the mirror.]




[Okay. One thing more.]

… hnnn… great. I need coffee.

[And a bra. Or better yet, bindings. Icons really don’t do justice to how bosomy Law is for such a slender frame. OP woman you know.

Or she can just let it all hang free.

… so tempting right now…

But coffee first. PRIORITIES.]

[You can catch the lady in question stalking into town not too long after. You see… the clothing problem hasn’t stopped at bras and other lacy unmentionable related troubles. Comes with the territory of being a slender but muscular guy and suddenly finding yourself in possession of some damn hips – we don’t lie – but as tempting as just saying fuck it all and going stark naked, Law rather likes her dignity.

After that, it’s the flower shop for some seeds for herbs. Lunch is next… maybe she’ll even poke up to Cloud Nine out of curiosity, and then it’s time for some hardcore training just so she can get used to this body. Her center of gravity is so off right now.

After that… who knows? Lady Law here will be all over the place. Catch her wherever.]

[scarletfemme]

There should be a fair amount. Perhaps you should just pick what you want and I'll go from there.

[deathsdoctorine]

Well, we've got the potatoes and tomatoes you've picked. [Rummage rummage] Cabbage and lentils. Kelp. Tofu. Carrots. Onions. Lots of herbs.

[scarletfemme]

Yes, I can work with all of this. Let me get a pot.

[deathsdoctorine]

[Law steps aside, and the kettle whistles, signaling the boiling water for the tea.]

Mint tea?

[scarletfemme]

Yes. Please.

[deathsdoctorine]

Aa... got it. [She grabs the appropriate tin, adds a generous amount of tea leaves to the pot and pours in the water. Soon the fragrant scent of mint fills the air.]

[scarletfemme]

[Meanwhile, Itachi has rice going as she boils vegetables together in another pot.

Without thinking about it, he begins humming something lightly under his breath.]

[deathsdoctorine]

That's pretty. What is it?

[scarletfemme]

[There's a clank as Itachi drops a spoon onto the counter, and he shuts up immediately.]

It's nothing.

[deathsdoctorine]

[... yeah, it's nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Out of respect for Itachi's pride, she nods, and pours the tea. But pride has limits and she'll call him out on it soon if things continue as they are.

That said, focusing on ninja things might help.]

... I stopped by the weapons shop today. I'm nearly out of sword oil... so I thought I'd get some more. While I was in there, I saw that Mister Sokka had finished the latest batch of kunai. They're pretty nice.

[scarletfemme]

He does some nice work, I've noticed. We're lucky to have someone like him here.

[Cooking is good busy work, but he shouldn't let himself become too distracted.]

[deathsdoctorine]

He did my tanto. I've never seen anything but fine craftmanship from him. [Faint pride? Call it leftovers of Luceti Valley.] We don't get many blacksmiths in here, let alone swordsmiths. You're right. We are very lucky.

Also, remind me to never touch an explosive tag again. ... I had a little accident while at the smithy.

[scarletfemme]

[Itachi frowns a little at that.]

Not too bad of an accident, I hope.

[deathsdoctorine]

No... not really. I teleported the tag away before it could blow up in my face. I don't know how I activated it in the first place. They need to be set with chakra first, and well...

[I'm not supposed to be able to do that.]

[scarletfemme]

I see... [Curious.] That's something to ponder.

[Ah, there. The vegetables are cooking nicely.]

[deathsdoctorine]

... yeah. ... the whole thing was very strange.

[scarletfemme]

Do you think it has something to do with your emerging abilities?

[deathsdoctorine]

... maybe. Busoshoku Haki is known to charge objects for extra destructive capabilities, so it's possible... and my control there is very poor...

[scarletfemme]

At least you know to be careful in the future and you didn't lose a limb in the process.

[deathsdoctorine]

Yeah. I've been through enough explosions as it is. I'd rather not test my resiliency more than I have to.

[scarletfemme]

I suppose we have enough ninja that it's worthwhile to keep up with our particular brands of ammunition...

[deathsdoctorine]

Yes. I think between your world and mine? We have the greatest concentrations of our populations in Luceti.

[It's scary when you think about it.]

[scarletfemme]

This is something I've noticed. I'm uncertain what to think of it.

[deathsdoctorine]

Mine? I can understand mine. With the nature of the Grand Line, and the increasing breakdown of reality there. It is unstable and chaotic... and well...

Yours? Yours seems to have a firm grip on everything...

[scarletfemme]

You haven't seen some of the techniques used in my world, clearly.

[Itachi looks mildly amused for a moment.]
