The One & Only SHINO QUEST ~ Part 2

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Good, because I'm not going back in there. In fact, I think I've done enough in here for today after all that..."

<"Good, because I'm not going back in there."
>Meiling sits up a little.
>"But... it doesn't stay like that all..."
<"In fact, I think I've done enough in here for today."
>Patchouli sighs and waves her hand towards the exit.
>"If you say so."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Approach the guard, and kneel down by her.
>"How're you feeling, Meiling?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Approach the guard, and kneel down by her.
>"How're you feeling, Meiling?"

>You kneel next to Meiling as Patchouli turns away.
<"How are you feeling, Meiling?"
>Meiling rubs the back of her head a little, before smiling.
>"I'm okay; nothing a youkai like me can't handle."

>...

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

> "Glad to hear it!"
> Collapse into unconsciousness, wheethud!

[Tamashii Kanjou]

> "Glad to hear it!"
> Collapse into unconsciousness, wheethud!

<"Glad to hear it!"
>Meiling chuckles a little.

>You collapse on the spot after being completely drained; you fall onto Meiling's chest as Sakuya arrives. BAD END!!!

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Still, let's get you, and me, out of here before we get attacked by any more books, okay?"
>Offer her a hand.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Still, let's get you, and me, out of here before we get attacked by any more books, okay?"
>Offer her a hand.

<"Still, let's get you, and me, out of here before we get attacked by any more books. Okay?"
>You offer her a hand up, which Meiling takes.
>"Sounds good to me. Besides, I've been sent to get you anyway!"

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Huh? What for?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Huh? What for?"

<"Huh? What for?"
>"The 'almighty' chief maid wants you."
>You sense a tone of sarcasm from the gatekeeper; she seems cheerful despite what just happened.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, sure! Just let me get my stuff."
>Recover our clothes, then follow Meiling out.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Oh, sure! Just let me get my stuff."
>Recover our clothes, then follow Meiling out.

<"Oh, sure!"
>You begin to head to where your clothes were.
<"Just let me get my stuff."
>"Okay!"

>You retrieve your clothes, before rushing back towards Meiling.
>You follow her out of the library; with no questioning from Patchouli or anyone else.
>The second the doors shut, you feel a little cold.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Try not to shiver too much. We'll have access to a proper towel soon, no doubt.
>"So, question. How long have you known Sakuya, anyways?"


We will try plan B.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Try not to shiver too much. We'll have access to a proper towel soon, no doubt.
>"So, question. How long have you known Sakuya, anyways?"

>You do your best not to shiver too much; though you can feel the goosebumps already.
>No matter; we'll have a towel soon... Very soon...

>"Come on then, let's get to moving!"
<"First, a question."
>"Ask away."
<"How long have you known Sakuya?"
>"Hmm..."
>Meiling pauses for a little... and a bit more...
>"Quite some time, now. I still remember all those fights we had..."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Remember what?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Remember what?"

<"Remember what?"
>"Fights; like I said."
>Meiling seems to smile.
>"To others, it sounds kind of weird, but the more we fought, the more we respected each other."
>She begins walking away from the library doors; motioning for you to follow.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Follow along.
>"I think I've seen that kind of thing before. So, do you fight much these days?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Follow along.
>"I think I've seen that kind of thing before. So, do you fight much these days?"

>You walk alongside Meiling.
<"I think I've seen that kind of thing before."
>"Is that so?"
>She seems to chuckle again.
<"Do you fight much these days?"
>"Hmm, not really. We have the odd little battle now and then, but we never really go at it."
>She rubs the back of her head a little.
>"It has been a while though; makes me wonder if she hasn't given up yet..."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Sooo, what do you think of her, hmm? As a person, I mean, so none of that respected fellow servant junk."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Sooo, what do you think of her, hmm? As a person, I mean, so none of that respected fellow servant junk."

<"Soooo, what do you think of her, hmmm? As a person, I mean; so none of that respected fellow servant stuff."
>"Sakuya is just someone I've shared many moments with; some troubling, some good. She can be pretty cold, but she's nice to those she knows... Milady, myself. I'm happy when she is happy; more so now that she has someone else to help show that nicer side."
>Meiling ruffles your hair as she smiles.
>"As unexpected as it may be, of course."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Heh heh, what?"
>She figured it out? Meiling figured something out, the world is ending!

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Heh heh, what?"
>She figured it out? Meiling figured something out, the world is ending!

<"Heh heh... what?"
>"Well, you two are together, right?"
>When did she... How did she know?
>Meiling reads your mind. "I'm not THAT stupid!"
>"I was sure I heard her right..."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"She told you!?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"She told you!?"

<"She told you!?"
>"I won't tell anyone if you don't want anyone knowing... Sakuya trusts me, so you can trust me."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"No, it's okay. But I didn't think she would, you know? Just doesn't seem like her."
>"Soooo..."
>Cat grin
>"Jealous?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"No, it's okay. But I didn't think she would, you know? Just doesn't seem like her."
>"Soooo..."
>Cat grin
>"Jealous?"

<"No, it's okay; I just didn't think she would, you know..."
>"Well, it's sort of my fault for asking... We trust each other, anyhow."
<"Soooooooo..."
>Time for one of those grins.
<"Jealous?"
>Meiling gives you a little push, before smirking.
>"Of course not! Though I kept thinking..."
>Meiling drifts off a little; smiling again.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Thinking whaaaat?"

[nolrai2]

"All those lonly days, with only the fairys for company, your mind must wander, to people you know, . . .and combinations." grin some more.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Thinking whaaaat?"

>"All those lonly days, with only the fairys for company, your mind must wander, to people you know, . . .and combinations." grin some more.

<"Thinking whaaaaat?"
>"It... It's nothing."
<"All those lonely days with only the fairies for company, your mind must wander to people you know..."
>"Don't be silly. You pop by from time to time."
>You grin a little.
<"And that's a combination?"
>"That's friendship; same as with Sakuya."
>Meiling laughs a little.
>"Even though you've groped me several times, I never get you to stay long enough... So it's surprising to know that..."
>Meiling drifts off and smiles again.
>"Ah, what am I saying? Come on; can't keep her waiting!"
>With that, Meiling starts speeding up a bit.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh come on, don't be leaving things unsaid like that!"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Oh come on, don't be leaving things unsaid like that!"

<"Oh come on! Don't be leaving things unsaid like that!"
>"There's nothing that needs to be said. So let's not keep her waiting."
