[Christmastime alone hits Fujiko a little hard. Not that she'd necessarily want the company even if she was back in her world, but even if she did want to, she can't even make up some sort of extravagant gig or excuse to call up Lupin and check in on him. Which leads her to taking advantage of the new coastline and exploring down in it in the cold and singing Love Squall to herself. Of course, she fidgets a bit too much with the journal so it carries over, complete with the bitter sound of her chucking rocks into the ocean.]

Stupid Lupin. The one time you don't chase me down...

It's the holidays. I ain't gonna sit around feelin' sorry for myself just 'cause I'm afraid of gettin' disappointed.

[A small pause.]

Che... I'll save it for New Years.

[He just grunts. She can do whatever she wants. He doesn't care.]

Hope it works out for you Raphael~

Yeah, sure. [He wishes she'd quit saying his name all flirty like that. It's weird, and it makes him feel weird.] Thanks.

Something wrong?

[Dammit, woman.] No.

Are you sure?

[A small tinkling bell-like laugh.] I suppose you'd rather be left alone then.

Yeah, whatever. Happy holidays and all of that.

You too. And say hello to your brother please.

And stay warm!

[Frown.]

You know my brother?

Not really. You just mentioned him quite a bit so I knew he had to be important.

Right.

[Fujiko, you make him so freakin' paranoid.]

[Small sigh, she can at least pick up she's making it worse, so she's actually just going to be honest, even if this means her tone is a lot less flirty and charming and more gruff and resigned.]

You were both out in the snow when you were little -- one of the Malnosso things. It worried me. I mean I know you're more human than just turtle, but still, cold and reptiles, you know? Only if anything I scared you more. So I'm just glad to know you two are okay, yes?

Stay warm Raphael, and thanks.

[Raph takes a while to respond. He's glad she's being straight with him for a change, but knowing she saw him like that...he can't help feeling embarrassed and a little outraged.

His voice is low, nearly a growl.]

Whatever you're tryin' to pull, it ain't gonna work.

If I was trying to pull something, it'd be a lot less apparent.

I don't know about that. Where I come from, a lot of maniacs are lackin' in the subtlety department.

I ain't stupid. I saw how you were lookin' at me. Wanna play fillet the turtle, don'tcha? I gotta tell you, sister, I've had enough of that crap for one lifetime, and I don't go down easy. I ain't nobody's science project.

[A small pause and whaaaat...]

Wait. You think I want to...? No. [Jeez she's glad this is voice given that she's currently bright red.] I have to work with -- usually against mad scientists. I'll leave that kind of freaky shit to them.

Back in my world -- well, I just like animals, okay? I didn't want to... cut you up. If anything I was worried about your injuries. I mean, I guess I'm a bit of a legend chaser, but I helped Nessie get away, not lock her up.

[He's still skeptical.]

You helped Nessie. As in the Lockness Monster?

[And yeah, he actually thinks it's "Lockness".]

Look, there's a good reason I don't tell people about things I did or places I've seen. No one believes it, and even fewer care, okay?

But I'm not about to go enslaving anyone or anything. It grates on me to see things locked up in cages. Bad enough this place is just one big giant cage. It's big, there's free stuff, and it's still a cage.

Yeah. It is. Convenient how people forget that.

[He grunts.]

And it ain't that. I'm a giant talkin' turtle, for cripes sake. I just got plenty of reasons not to trust nobody.

I'm the last person to ask someone to trust me.

I don't trust either. I just like animals and rare things. The rarer the better. It's not like I want to keep you or anything, just curious. And like I said, I got worried that you were out in the cold.

Not that a big guy like you can't take care of yourself, but sometimes it's the tough guys who always run headlong into battle and pretend they're fine when they're not, hm?

I've been told I got a death wish. Guess you wouldn't be too far off.

[Laughs softly.] Seems I've heard that before~

Nothing wrong with liking excitement. You've survived this far so you can't be too stupid.

Or so I assume. Sometimes the dumb ones are shockingly tenacious.

Little bit of both, in my case. [That earns a bit of a mischievous grin.] But the dumb stuff's the fun stuff.
