"I've only been out at night, that's why." Tsune replied as she nommed the sandwich that was presented to her. "...I was in that house... since I was born, honestly. I'm the daughter of the head." She lowered her eyes but continued eating never the less.
~~~~~
And once Ai finds out...
He loves getting into trouble, doesn't he?
Either way, Ai hugged the man tightly before eating again. "They are pretty good. So... do you think that I would be okay to... be in the outside world?"

"This isn't about the outside world." Irvine sighed. "It was more about the fact that if let wander, you could very easily get too many tonics to handle." He pointed out. "This is only about the tonics. You were fine out in public."
~~~~~
Mai-Fei gasped. "No way!" She exclaimed. "That's really not cool! I mean... I heard that my grandma's reincarnation's mother was bad, but that sounds... Uh... Just as bad but not the same kind of bad!" She babbled.

"It's no big deal. I don't like her anyway. I heard from a client that she hated me because I was becoming far prettier than she." Tsune replied. "She must have realized this when I was only 13, because I was immediately placed into prostitution on my 14th birthday." She then took another bite, then moved onto the cookie. "So... what is your family like? Your family seems a bit... odd."
"Well, my mom and dad are former Colosseum champs, my grandpa's the former president of Lazareno, my Aunt and uncle are former detectives, and my grandma's a goddess. Oh, and my great grandpa and great grandma are the former guardians of the whole world, and they had the eternal sword in them." Mai-Fei said. "Oh, and most of all, my cousin, he's like two months older than me, and he's really bizarre too, because... Well..." She leaned up so their noses were practically touching. "He's really short."
~~~~~
"I know that, but I mean... well you get what I mean Irvy. Sheesh..." Ai replied. "So are you going to eat or what? You haven't done anything except lie down!"
"I will eat." Irvine said, doing exactly that. "It's good, as always." He said with a smile. "But we'll go back home soon enough." He explained. "Just once I'm sure you're okay."

"Short!? That IS bizarre!" Tsune cried out as she flushed slightly at the realization that Mai-Fei was invading her personal bubble. "...How short is he? Is he shorter than you?" She couldn't help but ask as she raised her brows, intrigued by the shortness.
~~~~~
"So... do you think I am okay? I mean, I haven't touched a vial!" Ai cried out with a soft whimper. "In all honesty, I miss being around my friends and your family..."

"He's not even five feet tall!" Mai-Fei said, not pedaling back. At all. Because she was that socially unaware at times.
~~~~~
"Well, we just need to wait a couple more days, though to be honest, we could invite anyone over if you wanted, I just... Well, you know everyone's busy this summer." He sighed.

Tsune widened her eyes, possibly at both Mai-Fei being too close and her cousin's actual height. "You look like you're 14..." She mentioned, not realizing that the flush crept down to her neck. She's making me so uncomfortable right now. I never looked anyone in the eye before... and here I am, staring at her.
~~~~~
"...Or the fact that you never told me I could have anyone over. Because you wanted me all to yourself." Ai teased as she finished her meal and picked up the dishes. "Well, anything on the agenda today? Besides TV? I swear, I am beginning to get very flabby..."

"That's not true, and you know it." Irvine said, sighing. "You know something, your metabolism has been crazy for a while now." He pointed out. "Well, since the whole Dyecroft thing, anyways."
~~~~~
"I am fourteen, but I'll be fifteen in just a few months." Mai-Fei said. "But what about you, Tsune?" She asked, blinking. "Hey, why are you red?" She asked.

"You're just a little close... that's all." The girl replied as she turned her head away, though it made the flush apparent in her tan cheeks. "I am only sixteen. I will be seventeen in a little over a month." She explained as she remained red.
~~~~~
"...Probably because I'm practically a FREAKIN' CYBORG! ...Or something like that. I can't really tell anymore. Either way, a good quarter of my body is machine! Like my organs." She sighed as she lifted her arm. "And probably my bones. I mean, how else would a tube shoot out of my hand? I can't understand how the skin keeps growing over it after..."

"Healing factor?" Irvine asked. "That's the only solution I could think of." He admitted. "But it seems more like the skin opens up rather than breaks." He crossed his arms. "Can you do it by will now though?" He had to ask.
~~~~~
"Wow!" Mai-Fei said. "You've had it hard then." She mumbled, finally sitting back and eating a cheeseburger in one bite. "But you do look kinda like my mom." She said. "And you are pretty. Heck, I'm kind of jealous of how pretty you look!"

Phew... The girl thought as she grew comfortable once Mai-Fei left her bubble. "You shouldn't be. I'm worn well beyond my years." Tsune replied. "But I'm not sure what your mother looks like, but I am Mizuhoan. Both parents apparently immigrated from Mizuho right before the collapse happened."
~~~~~
Ai thought for a moment. "I... Don't think I should try, Irvy. There is no practical use rather than just store information that I don't even NEED into my own head." She explained as she turned away.

"It could be useful." Irvine said, shrugging. "I mean, you could use it to grab things of a high shelf." He joked. "But you can't say that you don't enjoy having them used in bed." He said rather forwardly.
~~~~~
"No way!" Mai-Fei said. "I'm half Mizuhoan. My grandpa was the chief during the disaster. I heard he was a very stern but kind man." She said. "I can't believe it! Do you know any of the language?"

Tsune smiled for a moment, then replied, completely in Mizuhoan. "Yes, I am very fluent in it. Even if English is my first language! I guess we could be considered kindred spirits, being Mizuhoan." She chuckled before seeing the bill. Wow, that is a huge bill...
~~~~~
"I... uh..." Ai quivered at the thought. "It's a really strange sensation when it comes out of your palm. I don't know why, but it feels pretty insane." She then turned to her husband, lifting her palm. Right in the center emerged a cable, which hung limp.

"So you can control it." Irvine said as the thing came out, though after a moment... "Somewhat." He spoke. "Well, it's something, then, isn't it?" He asked her, smiling. "Maybe you could find a good use for it."
~~~~~
"Wow, I'm jealous! My mom tried to teach me it, but I'm not very good." Mai-Fei admitted, paying the bill happily.

"Heh it is alright. I was only taught because it would bring in more profit. So you shouldn't be jealous." Tsune replied as she stood up. "Um... we should probably get going, if we're going to find your answers eventually. Besides, this place is closing." This has been a fun meal. Unlike the pigs who just ask who I am and what I plan to do with them...
~~~~~
"Maybe, but I don't like having it. I mean, I still understand how you even can stand me anymore, Irvy. It's like... you wanted a cyborg or something." She shook her head. "Doesn't it freak you out in the slightest? I mean, I was surprised I gave birth to Mai-Fei!"

"It's strange, certainly, but you are still you." Irvine pointed out. "I mean, that isn't going to change just because of some affliction." He explained. "You were just given a unique ability, I suppose."
~~~~~
"Um... Right!" Mai-Fei said, taking the girl's hand and fleeing out of the restaurant at breakneck speeds, unsealing her wings. "But... I really don't know where to go, do you?"

"This is your adventure. I'm sure we will find leads sometime." The girl replied with a small smile after she was pulled out of the restaurant. It took about three weeks of wandering to find...
Absolutely nothing. One night, Tsune was glancing at the fire that was placed not even five feet away from her, wondering what she could do for her friend. It occurred to her at some point that she could control zombies. Which meant the undead. So...
Why could she summon the undead?
The undead related to the underworld, or so she was told. But the underworld was clearly just religious bullshit that she didn't even believe in.
Throwing herself onto her back, Tsune glanced at the heavenly skies above her with a hand to her stomach, her dark hair serving as a pillow.
~~~~~
"...A unique ability... like your demonata and Seraphim?" Ai asked as she walked over to him and threw herself at him, her eyes to his. "Not a day older than twenty-six."

"Perhaps." Irvine said, looking at the woman. "But what do you mean by that?" He asked, slightly confused by the 26 comment.
~~~~~
Mai-Fei lied back, sighing. "Maaaaaaaan... Still nothing..." She mumbled, her blue streaked hair being blown about as she lied down, looking at Tsune. "So... I don't know... Ugh... I wish I knew why I had these abilities..." She sighed, sidling up and hugging the other girl's arm.

"You don't look a day over 26. You're like, 44! How does that make you feel? Probably just as old as me." Ai chuckled as her hair shifted so that it framed the right side of her face.
~~~~
Tsune was still timid by how touchy Mai-Fei could be, but by pretty much at that point she had adjusted it. Possibly to the point that it made her feel reassured that everything would be okay in her life. "...I wonder..." She began in a hushed voice, "Mai-Fei. Those zombies... they are incredibly strange... do you think that the underworld exists?" At the last word she turned her attention from the stars to her friend, her obsidian eyes bright against the flames.

"Huh?" Mai-Fei blinked, sitting up. "Well... Yeah." She said. "I mean... My whole family went there once... To pull the souls of my great grandparents back to the world." She explained, her golden-brown swirled eyes shimmering as well. "So... I know it exists... Ugh..." She suddenly fell over, the rune on her forehead glowing. "Ow...." She groaned.
~~~~~
"To be honest, I don't really think about my age too much." Irvine said, smiling. "I have many years ahead of me, with you, after all. What's there to worry about, really?"

"Huh!?" The girl scrambled onto her knees and placed a hand onto Mai-Fei's forehead, inspecting the rune. "That rune on your head... it's glowing!" She told her. "What does that mean?" She asked, wondering how to help her.
~~~~~
"True, we may as well live life to the fullest. But of course you don't think about your age! You don't age like a human!" She chuckled. "If you were in your father's or Derrick's shoes without the Fountain of Youth to back you up, you wouldn't be thinking about it differently!"
