douze. [rl with kamina]

[piercethecharts]

[ As silly as it was, Sheryl was feeling pretty cheery from that secret. She waited for Kamina by the front of her hotel, hoping that he'd actually wear appropriate clothing (i.e. a shirt) as she tapped her foot, humming to herself. This was a songwriting sort of mood. She was wearing her usual getup of aviators and a floppy hat; the sun had mostly set by now, but she liked being able to go around unrecognized. ]

O-of course it is! I just said it was my name! [ WHAT IS THAT SMILE FOR KAMINA ffuuuuu she takes the page back and writes "KAMINA" in slightly bolder letters than necessary ] That one says "Big lump who eats too many burgers"!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

That's too many words for that little bit of letters! [VICIOUS BITE OF DELICIOUS FOOD, GOD SEE IF HE GETS ALL SAPPY AGAIN] 'sides, I can tell there's some A's in that word! And I don't see "burgers" neither!

[piercethecharts]

[ VICIOUS AND UNPOPSTAR-LIKE SLURPING OF SHAKE ] It's your name, of course!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

...oh. [TEARING AT FOOD has turned into thoughtful munching] I'm not a lump.

[piercethecharts]

Lump, spelled K-A-M-I-N-A. [ but she's grinning again, and totally not blushing at all ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[grins are okay. blushes are better. he can't be doing too bad at this. she gets a grin back.] You're gonna get away with that, but only today!

[piercethecharts]

Oh, I'm pretty sure that I can get away with it whenever I like!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

I don't think ya are. [is that an over-confident tone and settling back onto the hard plastic booth chair? yep. yep, it is.]

[piercethecharts]

[ swallows one last gulp of chocolate shake, then stands up, bracing her hands on the table as she leans over and kisses him.

And as she sits back down, smirking...] ...Lump.

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[let's have a minute of silence here.




aaand minute done.] Okay.

[piercethecharts]

[ burger time again, nom nom :> ] So, that enough letters for now?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[tease.] Uh-huh. [...he's supposed to be eating right; he takes a sip of shake, still rather dazed.]

[piercethecharts]

Anyway, it's a lot of letters, so we can figure out words that use them! If you learn them all at once you'll just forget them. I mean, I don't remember learning to read, but that makes sense!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

And it's a lotta stuff. If I try ta fit all of that in my head today, it's gonna explode. Ya know, you're alright at this teaching thing.

[piercethecharts]

I'm Sheryl Nome, aren't I? Besides, it's never made any sense to me to teach people how to read with words like "ball" and "boy". No one cares if Jack chased the dog if they don't know a Jack or any dogs, so what sort of motivation is that to learn?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[kamina chuckles through a mouthful of burger and after he swallows, he remarks:] Ya got a point. I never met nobody named Jack, but I do know a dog. I'd only wanna hear somethin' about Daisy, not that Jack guy.

[piercethecharts]

Is that the name of the dog? [ she's done with her burger, but one is enough, so she crumples up her wrapper ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Renji's dog! He's getting really big now. [kamina's pile of burgers has dwindled into one burger and two packages of fries in a small span of time. the guy can eat.]

[piercethecharts]

Hmm... so if you have living rabbits and living dogs there, there's no reason I can't come to that party of Byakuya's!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Hm...that's kinda different. [goes through a packet of fries in about ten seconds while he's thinking] Daisy an' the rabbits were born in Soul Society so while they're livin', they belong there. [points at her with a fry] You're still alive. You don't look like you're dying no time soon either so it'd be hard for you to get in. [pops said fry into his mouth]

[piercethecharts]

[ ...stares ] I swear, you're a human vacuum.

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[downs the rest of his fries] That a bad thing?

[piercethecharts]

Not particularly, but I wouldn't be surprised if you turned out to have five stomachs!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

That means I could eat more! Awesome!

[piercethecharts]

[ shakes her head as she rewrites their names into her notebook, crumpling up the scattered wrappers ] If that's how much you eat with one, I'd be terrified of how much you could eat with five!
