[Fujiko has been raiding the library for the past few days looking for something very specific. Upon finding it, out she rushes, delighted with her discovery, only to remember something very obvious.]

Ciel! I found those books you were looking for. [And how. There's at least 3 Sherlock Holmes books, and a good stack of 20 other books. Anyone want to help the busty chick move those books? The little kid probably won't help that much either.] There were even some others I'd never seen before, but they look like fiction. And I got you Hound of the Baskerville, because it's just a really good book.

Hey, just so I know, if there are any fans of French literature out there, is anyone else here familiar with Maurice Leblanc or Arsene Lupin?

Oh! And Valvalis, I can start whenever you have time. [Aha, that might explain all the wind magic books she's got. Still, even though normally she'd make Lupin do all this work, she doesn't look too unhappy.]

[Actually, Jack is EXACTLY like that. He does double cross people routinely, although he's not a killer unless he needs to be or by accident.]

When you've lived long enough, fate just has more time to be a dick to you.

[doubleppk]

Even when you're still young and in the prime of your life. [Because she'll never grow old....]

[originaljackass]

And good looking to boot. [What good is immortality if you can't look good the entire time?]

[doubleppk]

[Grins up at him. She doesn't always dig the long hair given Goemon, but as Jack has it pulled back it's more wild rather than ridiculously traditional, and she is digging the tie and scruff.] Oh absolutely. [Winks playfully.]

[originaljackass]

[He gives her a smirk in return, noting that they're almost towards where they're headed. He stops walking now, they can always linger before they head in.]

I figure it's the only reason I've managed to end up in the company of such a sexy vixen like yourself.

[doubleppk]

[Leans up to play with her hands on his arm and fidgets slightly, twirling the bottom of the tie around between two fingers.]

Oh really~? Maybe your good luck is just continuing, mm? Not that I'm all the gold in El Dorado, but fate's gotta have an off day sometime!

[originaljackass]

[He would do more, were it not for all these pesky books in both arms. Rather annoying, that. So he feigns thoughtfulness as he considers the gold.]

You or all the gold in El Dorado? I'd say it's pretty close. [By which he means he'd totally pick the gold, but she doesn't have to know that.]

[doubleppk]

[Laughs, letting her voice just tinkle like a bell over it.] Liar~

[Still, she leans up on tiptoes to kiss a scruffy cheek.] Sweet of you to claim though. Come on, we shouldn't keep him waiting. We can sneak out for drinks afterward, mm?

[originaljackass]

[Smirk.] Guilty as charged.

[Feeling perhaps more optimistic about this than he should thanks to that kiss, he bobs his head in the direction of the house.] But I'm all over this idea. After you.

[doubleppk]

[Beams and bounds inside, still grinning flirtatiously, and maybe genuinely blushing a little in addition to the hairflips. It's pretty obvious she hasn't been this happy since arriving in Luceti.]

I hope he appreciates it. [Though she kind of doubts it.]

[originaljackass]

Little bastard better appreciate it.

[Jack moves over to the door and wait for Fujiko. TO BE CONTINUED...

In this thread.]
