Day 21

[lightnen]

So... what the heck is this thing anyway? It doesn't seem like a normal book... seeing as I can see everyone else's past entries in here or something.

Whatever.

Look. I need answers and I need them now. What's this I saw about servants, guards and a Lord?? The sooner I can get out of here, the better. I have a little sister to get back to.

[ Only now did he realize he let that slip and his eyes widened a bit in realization of this. Right. He'd heard a child when he slipped in here before and well... kids were impressionable. Considering he was still one, it was understandable in thinking that way. ]

...Sorry.

[ That was about as much as he could offer up at the moment. She does at least have his attention, eyes never leaving her even once. ]

I see. [ A nod of his head. ] Yeah, that would be appreciated. The more I know now, the better.

[shuttersense]

[Thankfully, Rei isn't big on the scolding. Instead, she offers him a small nod, before motioning for him to follow her to the hearth-the kitchen area-away from the child in the back of the house, and away where Hibari was making sure that Yama didn't hurt himself further, before motioning him to sit on the floor with her.]

The first thing that I need to impress on you, [Other then she was fussy,] is that this isn't your world. This isn't mine either. This is a completely new world, with its own rules.

We don't know a lot of them, and what we've learned is by trial and error. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

[ It didn't take any coaxing at all for him to follow after her with his hands in his pockets, curling around the yo-yo he'd snagged from the trunk in his 'room' before coming here. Not that he thought anyone would take it with how heavy it'd be to anyone else but him, but just in case he needed it? Having it there made him feel a bit 'safer' in a weird way.

Moving to sit down on the floor with her, it took minimal movement to get comfortable so he was able to fix his attention onto what she was telling him. ]

I figured that much. It looks nothing at all like my own, but it was the uniform that kinda tipped me off to that first. Same with the castle and the way it was set up.

[ Not spoken too rudely or anything; more like an affirmation in his own way. He's always been kinda blunt anyway so it wasn't anything against her by any means. ]

Yeah. I can't do things normally as I might have back home or there's liable to be some consequences for it due to one of the rules I don't know about.

[ He raised a hand to pluck at the front of the uniform top he was wearing, while making a bit of a displeased look. ]

I was told there would be some who would attack me if i was seen without this uniform, so that's probably one of those rules, right?

[shuttersense]

[She nodded. He was quicker to pick it up then others, but then again she did present the case bluntly. She gave a little nod.]

Good, you picked that up. It's likely that you'll still run into some assumptions that you're used to because-we're used to the world working in a certain way.

The guards are a good example.

[She sighed quietly.]

They're the ones that would find you with suspicion and most likely attack you on sight at the castle. Which is important, since the castle is the main source of income.

The guards have conscious will, but not free will. They used to be normal people, but they made a deal, and that...changed them. If they're given an order by the Lord or Lady, they have to obey.
