So, the talking hat (which was somehow more intimidating than a talking fridge) had placed Satou in Ravenclaw. The trouble was,he had no idea what that meant, and the bizarre little bug-eyed big-eared creatures he'd seen scuttling around unnerved him too much to try and ask.

He had, however, taken Kurama's promise of free room and board to heart, and a bit of wandering had lead him to the Great Hall, which happened to have a modest buffet laid out. Jackpot! Before anyone could tell him he couldn't, he took a plate and began piling on fish and chips (mostly fish).

That was the board part seen to. Now he needed to sort out the room.

She shrugged. "Mostly I don't think about it. Death is an adventure I'm not ready for."

"You make it sound as bad as living," he said with a twitch.

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"As bad as?" She didn't quite understand that. He was a little too fuzzy in that department to tell.

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"As living! 'Adventure'. Obstacles. Barriers to peace and happiness and the ability to just be."

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"Being is adventurous. The process of being born is adventurous." She got down from her chair, crouching in front of him again.

"The human female body is made up in such a way that it should be impossible for our race to continue. Not just the process of conception, but of even growing in the womb is so difficult for a single potential to manage that actually making it through gestation is a miracle. The stresses put on a human body just by existing are even more insane."

He really, really didn't want a cute young girl talking to him about female bodies and wombs.

"Life is a series of stresses. Is it so strange for someone to want to escape it?"

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"If it were possible, but I'd think that, after you go through all the trouble of being born, you should use your body to its fullest. You wouldn't buy clothing only to wear it once, or food only to take one bite, would you?"

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"But if it was clothing you were given that you didn't want and didn't fit, and food that you didn't order and didn't like, would you wear it and eat it?"

Again, he tried to ignore the bit about using his body to its fullest, and wished she'd stop talking about bodies in general.

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"Good point." She looked thoughtful a moment. "Yours looks fine. What's the matter with it? Disease? Cancer? Birth defect? It isn't visible, whatever it is."

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"What?" He gave her a confused look, then realized uneasily that the topic had shifted to his body in specific.

Which meant that this particular cute young girl was thinking about his body.

"No, ha ha, there's nothing wrong with it, ha, why would you think my body is evil, ha, it doesn't make me think bad things, no, never."

In fact several impure thoughts were dancing unwanted through the borders of his subconcious at that moment.

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"Impure thoughts isn't considered a birth defect. That's completely natural." She said so quite matter-of-factly. "While technically it could be a regulation in some part of your body that causes you to think certain things, but it's really all dictated by your brain's various functions. Is it your brain you don't want? Is it somehow problematic?"

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"Any of it. All of it." He could feel his cheeks reddening at the mention of impure thoughts and hated himself for it. "It's all just struggle and misery, don't you see?"

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"Hm, than perhaps a shut down is required. How unfortunate."

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"But you said here you can't die."

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"That's why it's unfortunate. You can't. I suppose you'll have to make do with what you've got, for the time being. Thankfully, this place is good for getting used to yourself."

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"Not needing money will help," he admitted. "And having enough good food."

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"The food is the best part," she grinned. Of course, she was biased. "Oh, you're Japanese... A and I are looking for suggestions of recipes for a spring festival, Japanese-style. What do you like to eat?"

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"Regular things? Curry rice, sushi, ramen, takoyaki..."

His diet had been rather limited the past few years.

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

She looked contemplative. "I bet we could make a big batch of curry, like we did with chili... do you like beef curry or vegetable curry? Do you think we should make both?"

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"Beef curry," Satou whispered, and his mouth watered. "I haven't had it in too long."

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

"That's what we'll make, then. With mayonnaise for taste. And cold barley tea, if it's warm out." Admittedly, she was picking parts of that out of his brain.

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"Ahh... that sounds like a summer picnic," he said with a sigh, shaking his head as he realized how long it had been since he's had a summer picnic.

"As you like," her grin grew wider. The opportunity to cook was making her giddy. "I'm going to learn how to make bento boxes," she confided. She'd been looking things up in the primitive little playground they called a computer lab, finding all kinds of new things.

[hikikomoriways.livejournal.com]

"Bento boxes are wonderful," he said, remembering guiltily that Misaki brought him food sometimes.
