>"Exactly."

>She smiles and links her fingers with yours. "I can get behind that."

>"Glad you agree."

>You squeeze Kyouko's hand in return, and the two of you cuddle in silence for a little while.
>"Y'know," she says eventually, "Maybe it's selfish of me, but I would have been really sad if you hadn't said you'd be coming back."

>"I suppose I'm no less selfish for being happy to hear that."

>"There's nothing selfish about wanting people to care that you're in their life," she says. "Everybody wants that."

>"Yeah, but it's not right to want people you care about to be in danger of being really sad."

>"Well, you don't want me to be sad. You just want me to care, and I do, so it's fine."

>You give Kyouko another kiss and her expression softens.

>"You are cute when you pout."

>"I'm not pouting," she pouts, but this time cannot maintain her frown long enough to complete the sentence without giggling. She returns your kiss and you snuggle in silence for another minute.

>"Easthaven's an awfully long way way," she says wistfully, looking up at the ceiling.

>"At least there shouldn't be any pirates this time!" she says. "Probably. Hopefully! Wait, um...." she trails off in a frown, then asks hesitantly, "do you... even have the money for the ticket?"

Oldmansour · « **Reply #494 on:** February 24, 2016, 06:30:05 PM »

>"Well, not at this exact moment. That's sort of another reason I was hoping the Maiden was still in port."
>"But that's nothing you need to worry about, Kyouko. After everything that's happened to me, scaring up a few bob for a boat ticket should be easier than falling off a log."

>Kyouko snorts. "Easier than falling off a log? Well, I suppose that is pretty easy.... But if you need a place to stay while you're busy... falling off of logs-" She snickers again. "Then my bed is your bed - a day, a week, a month, it doesn't matter."

>"You make a tempting offer."

>She giggles. "Spend a few days taking it easy in the city, poke around for a way to put those Seekerly skills of yours to use, and then fly back home once you've got some money squirreled away. That doesn't sound so bad, does it?"

>"Maybe I could even track down how that book ended up in the university library. And as well, if I want to come back this way, and I do, then I can't rely on the Maiden to ferry me all the time. Gotta be able to pay my own way sooner or later."

>Rest hands behind head. "Thinking about the future again... It's satisfying, in it's own way." Glance over at her. "Know anyone at all those places you help out that needs a Seeker?"

>"Hmmmm...." She taps her finger against her chin. "Well, most of it's not exactly Seeker-grade work, but I can ask around for you. And you never know! Maybe Bottles and Baubles had one of their grimoires fly the coop again. It's happened before!"

>Pause. "Unless her influence didn't extend beyond Estval. If the cure was discovered here, then she might not have known about it. Don't really know how divinities work that way. Remind me to ask Minoriko about that."

>"Well, she's not a goddess of medicine or healing or anything, right? Maybe she can only heal fruits and vegetables?"
>"I've worked at a shrine and a temple, and I've never actually met a real goddess before. Uh, at least as far as I know. You said she just... kinda looks like a normal person, right?" Kyouko sounds almost disappointed.
