[One of our resident school teachers has just finished one of those important household tasks we must all face: grocery shopping. Of course, it's not so much shopping as stocking, considering the lack of a cash register in every store. Gelda's making her way back to her house, carrying two large bags filled to the brim with an assortment of groceries. Are they heavy? Yes. Yes, they are. She isn't going to complain, but if one were to offer her a hand, she wouldn't say no.

Well, all right. So long as you let me know when it becomes too heavy for you.

[She holds out one of the bags for Kouichi to take. It's the one that isn't quite as heavy]

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

I will. [Well, not really, but she didn't need to know that. Kouichi immediately takes the bag, balancing it out to make sure he doesn't drop it.]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[It seems like Kouichi's handling the bag just fine so far. Let's give him a chance to show his manly side. She'll start leading the way.]

My house isn't too far from here. It's number 27.

[He's a very manly 11-year-old. He walks alongside her, mostly trying to make sure the bag doesn't fall. He doesn't really talk much though, so he'll stay quiet for now unless Gelda decides to start a conversation.]

[Conversation starting it is!]

I must admit, I haven't seen you around the village before. Are you a New Feather?

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to impose. [She doesn't even know Regal.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[GRUNT and he's looking away a bit before offering out some arms to take some shit]

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am. I just got here a while back. [A pause.]/small> Have you been here long?

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose I have. I arrived here over a year ago. Perhaps even a year and a half, by now. Most residents don't seem to stay that long.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[It's never too late to meet him.]

You'd be our guest, of course. Though I can imagine it might be awkward, having dinner with your teacher.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[That's our Haruki! Here, have one of the bags.]

Thank you, Haruki.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[SIIIGH BLUSH and he tags the bag! And he's going to shrug and-]

Where's your place anyway?

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

That's unusual. Is there any reason for that?

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

Oh, it wouldn't be awkward at all. As Student Council president, it's my duty to make sure the teachers in my school are doing their jobs, and sometimes I feel the need to talk to them. What better way to do that than over dinner? [Too much power for a teenager? You bet.]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

It's house number 27. It's not too far from here, thankfully.

[She raises a hand to point at the house in question. It is, indeed, not too far away.]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

As far as we can tell, it seems to be completely at random.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

My, is that so? That's quite an important job. The school is nothing without its teachers, after all. Do you have an opinion on me so far?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Good...! So he's going to start walking on over there...]

[amazingasa1ways.livejournal.com]

Both you and Sage-san are doing a remarkable job, considering the circumstances.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

I see.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you normally do around here?

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

I'm one of the proud teachers at the local school. Though, sometimes I also do a bit of volunteer work at the clinic.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

That's certainly good to hear! I'll make sure to continue living up to your expectations.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[She'll accompany him!]

Now then, Haruki, how have you been faring?

[lezareno_prez]

[He'll set to work preparing a kettle of water and getting out two teacups and saucers, then. It's appropriate weather for tea and soup, that much is for sure. In fact, he's starting to wonder just how much snow they're going to get this year.]

I'd imagine you must be enjoying this weather far more than the summer heat.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

[Kouichi pauses in his steps at that.] Do you know who's in charge of it? I was thinking maybe it wouldn't be so bad to get back to studying...
