Wellspring Arms, Tuesday

Having successfully avoided the new students, Temari looked forward to a nice, quiet day at work. It might be interesting to hear that she was actually the more social of her village with that sort of attitude.

Of course, she also might have been avoiding thinking about her first few weeks in Fandom. Being a pony was something she never wanted to think about again.

"That's the smallest of them," She said, leaving how large they get up to his imagination. "I fight with wind. It's in the folklore about them that they do the same."

"And how true is folklore where you come from?"

With this many universes around, Ender had learned all about what was in one place, and wasn't in another. Especially Karal's universe, with its speaking animals and gods.

"There is always a hint of truth to most legends," She admitted.
endsthegame: (oh really?)

"And how big is the hint?" he asked, reaching for the weasel to touch it.

It darted forward to sniff his hand. It was still very young and curious.

"It would depend on the legend."

After giving it a moment to sniff, Ender reached a thumb over to slowly stroke over the weasel's head. It reminded him of Valentine telling him that he'd had tiny and gentle hands when he was little, but he couldn't really see any of that in his fingers now.

"You're doing a nice job of keeping from giving me any real answers."

"I would answer if I could," Temari said, honestly. "We have legends of demons and monsters that roamed the land. The demons... are true. The monsters turned out to simply be us."

"We usually are," Ender said, simply, "The monsters we're made to be, anyway."

"There's a legend of three weasels that will come upon a person on the road. Fast as the wind. One will knock them to the ground, the second will slice them with a sickle and the third bandages the wound before they realize what has happened."

"That's considerate of them."

"It's the story," Temari chided. "The truth is that they exist."
endsthegame: (might be mocking you)

"So you've got weasels that attack people along the road?" Ender asked, raising an eyebrow.

Demonstrating just why she would make an excellent jounin teacher, Temari smacked him on the top of the head. "Don't play dumb, brat."
endsthegame: (*snerk*)

As she finished smacking him, he simply tilted his head up and shot her a look that wasn't impressed in the slightest. "Mazer did that one better than you," Ender said, "But it was a good try."

"An old teacher of mine," he said vaguely. "He did kick my butt."

"You wouldn't be enough of a challenge."

"I wouldn't do that to you."

He didn't sound like he was joking along.

Rolling her eyes, she shooed him. "Go find Ben."
endsthegame: (looking askance)

"Sure."

Ender gave the weasel one last pet, then pulled his hand away. He glanced at it. No. No gentle hands, here.

It was strange, how everything could go so well for so long, and the next, he was staring at Bonzo's blood on his hand again, in the shower.

He turned around and left.
