I have an egg.

What am I supposed to do with it?

[good_ideas]

...What is your power, anyway?

[Because she still doesn't want it.]

[asano_san]

[He doesn't want it, either!]

It doesn't have a name. I can just see spirits that other people can't.

Oh, and they have this thing called spiritual pressure. There was this really powerful bad guy that should have knocked me out just being around him, and I could still stand up in front of him.

[good_ideas]

You could give it a name. [Kaoru (and every manga hero) does that, so why not him?]

And is spiritual pressure supposed to be some kind of "ki"?

[asano_san]

I don't want to name it. You name things you want to keep around!

[His ability to see spirits is not a pet.]

I don't think regular ki has anything to do with Soul Society.

[good_ideas]

But it's here to stay, isn't it? [Is it??]

It sure sounds like ki though. Like an aura or whatever it is that they do.

[asano_san]

You name a cat you bring home, but you don't name a cockroach that's hanging around your bathroom!

[It's still not a pet.]

Then maybe it is. It's not like I have anyone to ask to be sure.

[good_ideas]

...You know. Some people would probably name the cockroach. [Probably Kaoru.]

And I don't know for sure either, I'm mostly just guessing.

[asano_san]

Then why were you arguing if it's just a guess?

[good_ideas]

Because I felt like it.

[She argues with him all the time??]

[asano_san]

[Keigo flops down next to the blanket and egg.]

Do you see what I put up with? At least you won't argue with me, egg.

[Little does he know what's on the way.]

[good_ideas]

If it could argue with you, you'd have to be worried. [No one wants a talking egg....]

[asano_san]

It better not start talking to me!

[New worry to add to the list.]

[good_ideas]

Who knows if it will? At least you'll never be lonely again.

[asano_san]

Just great. My only friend the unhatched egg!

[good_ideas]

It sounds so sad when you put it like that.

[asano_san]

I know!

[good_ideas]

Well, it's fine. I'm sure you'll find a friend or two eventually. And if you ask nicely, I might even be your friend?

[asano_san]

You're not already my friend?

[good_ideas]

Have I ever said that I am?! [Congratulations, she's gone tsun.]

[asano_san]

After everything we've been through!

[Never mind that Keigo is the one who's "been through" the most.]

[good_ideas]

What, you scaring me? Or looking where you shouldn't be looking? Is that what friends do!!!

[.............okay but Kaoru also does those things.]

[asano_san]

And you already punished me for those things.

[That is, honestly, what friends do in his experience.]

I showed you my school! That's a thing friends do!

[good_ideas]

...I feel like I should have asked you this already but do you just have really boring friends, or something?

[Friends?? Show each other their schools?? Why??]

[asano_san]

[OK, that wasn't his best example. Even he will admit that.]

It wasn't just showing you my school! It was showing you my school through a portal in my closet. I wouldn't invite someone I hate into my room!

[good_ideas]

You would if it was a cute girl! [And she's clearly the cutest girl here.]

So, what, should I be thanking you? Is that what you want?
