[Nagi was going to learn it was quite possible to talk about killing someone while smiling. This particular smile was more his fault than anything else, however.]

Hel had everything planned, but she's not here. Tot will just have to figure something else out.

[cyberfly]

[ It's not really the juxtaposition of death and smiles. It's the unexpectedness of it on her face. He's seen people smile before and it didn't have the same effect on him. ]

...do you need any help?

[papas_bunnydoll]

[She's honestly happy he's offering.]

That's nice of you, but it's Tot's responsibility. She just doesn't have any weapons at the moment.

[Other than Ken. Would it be wrong to attack another god with a Siberian tiger who used to be his best friend?

She also doesn't have a plan, a clue, or a chance but... details.]

[cyberfly]

[ On the one hand, he has no idea what sort of revenge or plan Tot has. It could possibly have some unforeseen consequences if he got involved. On the other hand, he still wants to help. It's a little strange. ]

I can get you weapons.

[papas_bunnydoll]

[Considering she's taken the warnings about telling the shinki anything about their past to heart, Tot doesn't want to get him involved. But, using him to get a new weapon wouldn't be a bad thing, right?]

Really? Tot could use a new parasol.

[That probably doesn't sound like much of a weapon, but then he hadn't asked for details.]

[cyberfly]

[ Oddly enough, this doesn't exactly raise an eyebrow. Maybe Nagi's aware of weapons that don't look like weapons. Like cane swords. ]

What kind of a parasol? [ This might have to be a custom order ... ]

[papas_bunnydoll]

[Why would it raise any questions? It's a perfectly good weapon as far as she's concerned with or without the blade.]

It's one for rain or the sun. Tot used it to fight with as well, it had a pointy blade for sticking people.

[This is a normal conversation, right?]

[cyberfly]

[ Of course this is normal. Nagi thinks about this for a moment. A parasol with a retractable blade might take a little while to commission, but he can probably find someone. ]

What color?

[papas_bunnydoll]

Tot's other one was yellow, but any would be okay.

[She's not going to be picky.]

[cyberfly]

I'll get you one.

[ He smiles briefly. ]

[papas_bunnydoll]

Really?

[With a happy squeal, and promptly forgetting everything else, she pounces giving Nagi a hug.]

[cyberfly]

[ He startles, freezing up for a moment when she throws her arms around him. Nagi's not used to being touched, and he was certainly not expecting to be. And yet, his first instinct to be repulsed doesn't kick in. He blushes, instead. ]

Um. Sure. [ He mumbles awkwardly. ]

[papas_bunnydoll]

[Oops, maybe she shouldn't have done that, but she was just so excited.]

That's the nicest thing anyone's done for Tot in a long time.

[cyberfly]

[ That's okay, he was just surprised! And kind of embarrassed. But in a good way. ]

Well, I haven't ... done it yet. [ But he will, he promises. ]

[papas_bunnydoll]

Then Tot will just have to give you another one when she gets it.

[Logic, that's how it works, right?]

[cyberfly]

Oh.

[ And the slight blush is back, briefly. ]

...okay.
