I applied, actually - Stoneface-san said it wouldn't be a good fit, though.

[He smiles cheerfully]

No, it's fine! My fighting style wouldn't mesh well, so I understand why he declined.

[The Watch isn't into 'kill first, ask questions later'. Who'd have though >_>]

Mm, I guess. Though it's hard to do things with the Tree always messing around with us.

[He shrugs lightly]

They can keep it, then, I suppose. As for me... I hate this place.

[He's still smiling, but there's a hint of bitterness underneath the cheerful voice.]

[He shrugs lightly]

It hasn't bothered to stop me yet.

[And he's still smiling, but there's a look in his eyes that says 'bring it on.']

[He glances down at the marshmellows, and then glances back up to catch her eye. He understands]

Are you going down there now, or should I meet you there later?

I'll meet you there, then~

[Time for some timeskip?]

[He gives her a small bow]

And thank you for coming as well.

[He takes them, and pulls out his own coin purse from his kimono and tucks them away]

Thank you - though I'm guessing you didn't want to meet here just for that.

[He nods]

Though what I've said before is true - nobody has come after me yet for speaking out.

There's a watch tower, on the little island off of Stuff Inc - the one that doesn't have a name on the map. It was on some sort of weird lit-up box there. And on a calendar. 'Renée's Wedding' - it was crossed out, too.

[He frowns at that]

It wasn't locked.
