[Yep, that's a look that says she's feeling triumphant for having suggested it.]
Definitely so. Feel free to check it out. Nobody's bought any in a while, but it's still potent.

C'mon, that's just cruel!
[He'll just have to ask her at a later date, as if he just figured out a use for it instead of immediately. Sure, Eyes might kill him, but hey.
That's what the resurrections are for, right?]

Sometimes you have to be a little cruel to teach 'em a lesson. I can be downright sadistic if I want.
Whoa-- even worse than itching powder?
[Does her wickedness know no bounds-?!]

[She laughed.]
Pray you never have to find out, Hizumi. I am half demon after all.

Scary again... Though I guess that's part of the deal, huh?
'Course, now you've got me curious again.
'Course, now you've got me curious again.
[A pause, and then a little laugh.] It's a defense mechanism, if you haven't figured it out by now. Keeps people at a distance. Means a lot of them don't really like me that much, but I prefer it that way.
I'm not half as scary as I pretend.
[Though honestly? An illusion-wielding stalker of a sexual predator could be pretty damned scary in its own way.]

Sounds to me like you could be if you tried. Maybe that's the scariest part...
--Ah, but don't get me wrong. I'm real grateful you're nice enough to look in on me like this. Sittin' around all by myself wouldn't have been much fun.
[After an event like that? It would have been agonizing.]
[After an event like that? It would have been agonizing.]
Heh, nah it's fine. I don't mind checking in once in a while. It's a good way to keep you out of trouble, after all. [Total deflection. She had a feeling after that event 'alone' was a bad idea.]
Y'know, the way you keep bringin' it up, it's kinda startin' to sting. I haven't caused any trouble since I got here!
[Granted, part of that's because of the trouble he apparently causes in the future, but still!!]

Hehe, fine fine. Sorry, I like teasing you. You should have figured that out by now. But I'll let you go, alright? Just get some rest, would you?
[He gives a long-suffering sigh. He's hurt. So hurt. Totally, irreparably hurt.]
Yeah, yeah... I'll give it a shot, anyway. [Though- hm.] Actually, mind if I get some of that draught you mentioned?

Yeah, I'll have a package set up for you when you stop by next.
Thanks! I've got a feelin' I'll probably need it.
[He finally removes the cloth from his face, quickly folding it laying it down off to the side where it ought to be out of the way.]
Good luck with the rest of your potion makin'.

[It's while they're home alone together that Ayumu approaches Hizumi about the subject-- the news spreading about town, that the gods had found a way to allow the travelers to stay. Not only that, but to come and go as they please.
But not the memories to take with them. That would be far too lucky for them, wouldn't it.....?
Still, it was a workable possibility for at least one of them, in Ayumu's mind, and it's for that reason he peers into Hizumi's room with mugs of tea.]
Hey, you here?

Hey, you here?
[It puts him instantly on the alert.
He'd been reading, mostly for the sake of something to do, but the book is quickly laid aside as he offers a faint smile. Like he doesn't suspect at all what this conversation will be about, given they're the only two around at the moment.]
Yeah. What's up?

Yeah. What's up?
[Ayumu steps into the room, holding up the mugs of tea. He wasn't sure how this conversation would go..... but he'd thought to bring something to ease the conversation, at least.] Thought you might want a drink. Can I come in?
[He could just say no. That he was actually about to go to sleep, and maybe they should save it for some other time.
But he also realizes it wouldn't put it off for long, so instead he shifts to sit cross-legged on his bed. Reluctant.]
...Sure. Yeah, come on in.

...Sure. Yeah, come on in.
[That hesitation is noted, and Ayumu mentally steels himself for what he'd come to say as he sits down on the edge of the bed, passing over a mug of tea to Hizumi.] Thanks.
[He takes a sip of his own tea once hizumi takes the mug, mulling over how to start this. He'd spent a long time thinking about the wording, but.....]

[He takes it without a word, his gaze lowered. Several different conversation topics spring to mind, but in the end, they're all just weak attempts at delaying the inevitable. Ayumu could cut through them in a moment if he needed to.
Ahh... is it even worth it to try? Trying hasn't had a habit of getting him anywhere these days. Even if he struggles and fights, the likelihood of it getting him anywhere is low.
Wrapped up in indecision as he is, Ayumu will have plenty of time to speak first.]

[It will take Ayumu a while, to be sure. This was important, and he had to take care to get his feelings across properly, for once.
For Hizumi's sake, he had to.]
...Did you hear the announcement, yesterday?

...Did you hear the announcement, yesterday?
[He takes a long drink of the tea before answering, not even really registering the taste. It's just a way to waste a little more time.]
...I don't think there's a person here who didn't.
[He rests the cup in his lap, gripping it tightly with both hands lest he drop it.]

[Hizumi's body language is telling, and Ayumu's voice comes out with just a hint of pause, of hesitation.... more than he likes.] So what did you think of it.....?
