[A. Action - Downtown]

[Marisa has a bag of groceries in hand and the top thing in her bag is an open container of mushrooms. As she heads back to the residential areas, she munches on the mushrooms like they're candy.

And she's giggling.]

[B. Action - 340 Brady Lane]

[Marisa's bustling about the kitchen, looking oddly domestic with a frilly apron on and her hair pulled back, as she cooks. There's a couple containers of mushrooms set out, one opened and half eaten.]

Only because he wants to be a child. I know he has an adult form, ze.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

When he is a child, he is definitely a child. When he is an adult, he's a pompous monster. But as a child, there is a clear difference in his personality. It is not simply a physical change.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Ah. I thought it was just a physical change. That explains why he didn't match up with they way he's portrayed in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

[She comes over with glasses and pours the wine.]

So what did he do to make you terrified of his adult form? [serious girlfriend mode]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

It was nothing he did, really. Just something I sense.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it? I'm going to assume it's not his enormous power level...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

His personality, really. His arrogance is tremendous, but it's made all the more real when backed by his power. It's that feeling that he has both the ability and the willingness to make anything, or anyone, his.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Well, he can't have you; you're mine. [She gently caresses Patchouli's cheek.] And if he ever does something like that, I'll stop him.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I doubt he wants me beyond having someone to read to him. He may even want me as a friend. I'm never certain with him.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Just making sure you knew, ze. He's kind of a dick to me, but we didn't exactly meet under the best circumstances.

He has offered to fight me. I'm considering it if he agrees to danmaku.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Don't! Don't you dare!

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Why? He said he won't hurt me because it'd make you mad.

...though he's got Reimu's level of luck, so I'll probably lose. [which sucks]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... He said that?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Why are you surprised? He seems fond of you.

[Clearly Marisa doesn't like this fondness, but she's dealing.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Why would he be fond of me?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...why wouldn't he?

[Really, Patchouli, asking MARISA that question?]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... Nevermind. But I don't think he appreciates me in the way you're thinking. I'm merely amusing to him.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I'll like it better if I'm wrong, ze. Then I can stop being jealous and stuff.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... Jealous? You?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...it sometimes happens.

[She turns back to start chopping mushrooms.]

Okay, maybe a little more often here than ever before...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... It's a silly irrational thing. You know better.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I know. But you also know I'm a silly, irrational, emotional human, ze. And you love me despite that.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Constantly pushing yourself into my comfort zone and winning me over time isn't the same thing as this. That was a positive use of your irrationality. This is not.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

You gotta take the good with the bad, ze. At least I'm not beating up anyone that makes me jealous. I'm secure in the fact that you love me and nothing is going to change that.

[Into the sauce the mushrooms go! Marisa comes back over with a piece between her teeth and a grin. She waggles her eyebrows and leans in hoping Patchouli will indulge her silliness.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

-Patchouli sadly didn't play along, snatching the mushroom from her mouth and giving a sigh.-

I'm serious. I'm not worried about other people, I'm worried about you. I don't want you doing anything stupid just because of jealousy. Or because of me.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[siiigh]

I haven't done anything stupid because of jealousy, ze. And you know I can't promise not to do anything stupid because of you. I'm sure you know the lengths I'll go for you; you're everything to me.

...but I'll try to keep myself in check.
