Law

Artist: YYH OST - Song: Kurama's theme - Word Count: N/A

It had been a few weeks since the events in China, and Law had gotten into contact with Murasaki shortly afterwards. He'd found the small note she'd left him explaining the basics, and containing her phone number. Naturally, he called her shortly after he awoke. During that phone call he was informed of what exactly had happened after his blackout. The vizard infection that had been laying dormant within his body for so long had finally manifested itself, and to such an extent that he truly had no recollection of the events. He'd apparently been a danger to himself, and to those around him, so she'd knocked him out. He couldn't really complain about that.

Now, several weeks later, he traversed the arid plains of Mongolia, in search of a girl and her horse. But mainly her yurt. Truth be told, he could have arranged to arrive much closer to his end destination, but there was something to be said about a trek through the desert. He decided to undertake this journey, swapping his normal attire out for something more suitable for the climate.

He'd been traveling north for a couple of days now, alone with his thoughts. He had become the very thing that had taken everything away from his all of those years ago. There was some serious soul searching in order. At the same, thoughts of the green haired captain regularly entered his mind. Why? He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but if he hadn't been intrigued he honestly wouldn't have made his way out here in the first place. Oh well, he' figure it out eventually.

Finally, after his long and productive journey through the desert, Law saw what he assumed was his destination. He approached the yurt with confidence, and spoke up to call attention to himself.

"Knock knock, anybody home?"

KAGAYAKU NO MURASAKI

Of course Murasaki had left the guy her number, since naturally she wouldn't just leave him like that and let that be the end of it. She was a busy gal, actually just sticking around'd get in the way of goodness knew what else she had to do. Paperwork, patrols, training, just no end to it all. Honestly kinda crazy, if ya thought about it. Anyway! She'd been surprised when he actually called, though hadn't he hit on her? She couldn't really remember, but it seemed like he had, so if that was true it made sense that he called.

Naturally, she'd set things up in Mongolia. Partially because she knew the area well, and if stuff went badly she'd be able to fix it up real quick. But, honestly, she kinda just wanted to head back to what she considered home. She'd have preferred the steppes, but there was something nice about the desert, too. She definitely hadn't been around there for a while, but it was hardly trouble for a smart girl like her to get everything set up nice and perfect.

Once she'd arrived, refreshments for her guest were naturally in order. She'd obviously brought her usual sweets, not like she trusted anyone else to make 'em as good as she did. But here was no way Murasaki would be serving pre-made tea! It was best when it was fresh, obviously, so she got to the brewin' and steepin' and all that business, so that hopefully it'd be ready by the time her guest arrived. And, luckily, it was. Hearing a masculine voice outside, Murasaki perked up a bit and went to the door, opening it up and gesturing inside.

“Well hiya, mister. C'mon in, get comfy. We've got some stuff to talk about, I think.”

KAGAYAKU NO MURASAKI

If Murasaki picked up on what Law was thinking, she sure didn't show it. She had a good idea, at least she figured, though in truth her assumption of what he was thinking about was probably both more and less wholesome than it actually was. She had something of an established idea of how this guy was, and hadn't quite come up with any reason not to think it was the case just yet. But hey, maybe she'd get a nice surprise.

“You want some tea first? Candy? Snacks? I've got a lot of stuff ready, I'll probably be here for a while. And I wouldn't call it slumming at all, thank you kindly. I like living like this, and I don't really have the time to just waste in my office.”

It was fairly apparent that Murasaki didn't appreciate the implication made about her chosen way of life, but she continued to ready the snacks and drinks all the same. She'd extended the invitation, so it'd be wrong of her not to at least be hospitable. Besides, there was still stuff worth talking about in the meantime, even if she wasn't sure she liked his tone.

“Now, you said you had stuff to talk about since China? I thought you might.”

KAGAYAKU NO MURASAKI

Murasaki served the tea to Law with the utmost politeness, her very traditional approach rather odd when put against her usual cheery demeanor. In truth, she simply enjoyed tea ceremonies less for their actual meaning, but because it was a neat series of individual little actions. Like a big puzzle that ended with drinking a cup of nice tea.

“Well I guess that kinda makes all that your fault, huh? Shouldn't've just been riflin' around caves for treasure and all that, then. Isn't that stealing? I get that it's fun to explore but ya shouldn't really be takin' stuff just because you wanna.”

It was rather obvious that the finer intricacies of his research had gone over Murasaki's head a touch, but it was honestly a rather willful sort of ignorance. She didn't really have a ton of interest in that sort of thing, and to her it seemed kinda mean-spirited to just go around plundering caves and what have you for mystical orbs to study.

“But alright, so the orb was behind all the stuff going on. That makes sense, it sure seemed like that guy wanted it pretty bad. But, then, if he wanted it so bad he probably woulda taken it out of that cave anyway... So maybe it wasn't really your fault for taking it so much as it was for selling it. Iunno. I guess it might not be your fault.”

That last bit was exaggerated just enough that it was clear she was joking around now. It wasn't entirely certain which part of her commentary had been jokes, and which had been serious, but the truth was that even she didn't really care too much which had been which. She wasn't being malicious, nor totally ignorant. She was just saying what came to mind.

KAGAYAKU NO MURASAKI

"Hmm..."

Murasaki set her teacup down as she thought about that point from Law, and brought a hand to her chin in clearly-deep thought. She guessed he had a point about that, if it was just lying around then obviously nobody wanted it that bad. That probably made it okay, then.

"You wanna help out? Well, I'd be honored. You seem like an alright guy, and I can always use an extra hand."

Her smile still thoroughly present as she took another drink of her tea, the verdant-haired Captain thought for a relatively long while about how exactly Law could help. There were a few options, but most of them were probably dumb. It took a bit, in no small part because she just had a lot to consider, but ultimately only one solution came to mind. So, naturally, she said it.

"You wanna join up with Seventh Division? I think you'd do alright, seems like you know a thing or two about getting around Earth."

KAGAYAKU NO MURASAKI

Now, most people almost certainly would have had a chuckle at Law's expense when they heard that one. It'd been pretty terrible, after all. His delivery, the words themselves, every last thing about it had just been the worst. But Murasaki definitely wasn't most people. She only smiled as she heard it, and had a laugh at the joke itself, not its delivery. She thought it was hilarious, and the genuine nature of her laughter was undeniable, a very girlish, cheerful giggle that came from the heart. Law was funny, she liked him. That was something she decided then and there.

“You do! And they're good hands, I'm sure you'll use 'em well. They look nice too, if a little mean-spirited. What's the tattoos mean, if you don't mind tellin' me?”

Placing her teacup down and resting her chin on her hands, Murasaki looked toward Law with an obvious interest in whatever stories he told. There were other tattoos she noticed too, and she actually wanted to know all about those, but one thing at a time for now.
