Which I get now, ze. [And only one person has ever beaten Marisa in a fair fight. Pbbt. Fair fights with the witch are bad ideas.]

Still, so much easier if you'd just told me then. Or before after you went Moelesia on me. For the gods' sakes, Ciel, I'd even made you an amulet of protection and kept you safe that night from Stabdad. Should've told me back then.

[>Fair

Personal definitions may vary... It may be best to call it more "going all out".]

I appreciate it, but it was still unneeded. I was going to remember again eventually, nothing he can do to my body would amount to anything.

[moving on.]

I still think that you would be better off not knowing. This should all end soon though, so I suppose it's okay, to indulge and be indulgent for a change.

And why do you say that? I already said I wasn't gonna treat you any different. You're still Supernun the Nagnificent.

...

Haha.

Because I'm selfish, Marisa. Would you accept that as explanation?

No. That would be why I haven't talked about my past and what I used to be. You telling me literally does nothing to put me in a worse state than before. In fact it's for my betterment. So shut up.

But whatever. And don't call me that.

I could claim the same, you know. If I chose to keep quiet about myself and insisted that it'll help us, if you told me more about yourself. I could have even tried forcing it through unethical means, but that'd be way too much trouble for us both.

What I should I call you, then?

[Marisa rolled so she was on her side again, back to Ciel. She pulled her braid down in front of her.]

Call me that... other one you used.

[Marisa is getting glanced over, whether Ciel can see her eyes or not.

...

Really?

She's doing a good job at keeping her voice neutral though, albeit a bit surprised.]

You mean, 'Mari'? [It's still pronounced just like "Marie", hmm. What a coincidence...]

[As if Marisa could feel Ciel looking at her, the witch's back tensed up, like she was preparing to receive a blow for some reason or another.]

...yeah. That one.

[oh.........

Sorry give her the time to stifle a girlish giggle...]

That sounds simple enough. Would you still like chicken noodle soup for dinner, by the way, or have you changed your mind for something else?

S-shut up!

[Her face is flushed and she hunches her shoulders.]

And you better make me chicken noodle soup. With the alphabet noodles.

[oh cute... but haha she'll look back ahead then! It's fun to tease, but let's not push it with this blonde firecracker here.] Of course~ It sounds like you'll be having a larger appetite than expected, too. Any other requests, Mari? There's also desert to consider, if you have the stomach for it?

Should probably pass on dessert. Still not feeling that great. [And she put a sixpack of beer into her stomach.]

I wonder... Nevermind.

You shouldn't drink so much next time. If you want to soothe your nerves, tea is much healthier than alcohol. You're still a teenager, you're damaging your brain and limiting your own genius if you binge drink too often. [Waving an index absentmindedly!! Living up to da Nagging name...]

Hm? It's okay if it's not important. We've been making small talk for a while now, haven't we? [including her own skeletons, yes. totes small time.]

[Not that Ciel could see, but Marisa totally rolled her eyes at the nagging.]

I dunno. I just wonder... if that's what it's supposed to be like. Feel like.

[and all was right in the world...]

That's like trying to describe what it's like to be in love, hehe. Different for everyone, and difficult no matter what. Does that make sense?

Not quite the same, ze. People have to find and discover love. We're all born with a mother. A family. We're not supposed to have to wonder what's it's really like.

I'd argue against it, personally. Someone can die never finding love, just as someone can grow up without a family. Someone can spend their whole life married to a person they don't truly love, just like someone can grow up in a family where they don't think much of their own parents. Given various circumstances, you can switch any part of a person's life around.

Yeah, but this is, like, the most basic of human foundations. So I wonder... is that what it's supposed to be like.

It still all boils down to a 'love' of some kind, though. [...

Smiling a bit, whether or not Marisa can see.] Is it a good feeling?

...kind of. You were so much more irritating when I thought you were my mother than now. But it... I dunno. It was an okay kind of irritation?

[Going to laugh out loud at that.]

That's normal, too. Arguments are quite common in households between adults and teenagers. But you still put up with it even then, didn't you?

...yeah. Except for that whole Rin thing. I wasn't okay with that whole thing. There was something really scary about it and I don't understand why...

[she blinks curiously and peers back at that.]

What do you mean? Were you afraid of how I was going to respond?

Yeah. I remember lying... but because I'd get in trouble if I didn't. And I was scared. I know I was, but I don't get why.

[She looked over at Ciel, truly not understanding at all.] Do you know why?
