I don't see how that follows...

[compendiem]

...Neither do I. [ an early new year's resolution is to be more positive, though, so why not start early ] But it worked.

[evidentiary]

...Well, if you want to consider us married, we can try that.

[ it might match up with the 10 minute tie limit...

a christmas miracle ]

[compendiem]

Let's try it.

[ He barely knows what couples do, let alone married couples, so after a pause, Minato continues towards the library bathrooms anyways. Washing hands together sounds like a passable couples thing. ]

[evidentiary]

Here we are, then...

[ WASHING THEIR HANDS and...being freed! success?! ]

[compendiem]

[ They're free...! Minato genuinely looks surprised that it worked, but- oh. He waves his hand under the automatic paper towel dispenser and hands it over to Kyouko. ]

It worked. Dry off your hands?

[ They must be uncomfortable. Wet. Inside those gloves. ]

[evidentiary]

...The gloves will dry.

[ THEY'RE WHAT SHE'S USING THE PAPER TO DRY...while on her hands.

hm. ]

[compendiem]

What if you get trench foot? ...Hand.

[evidentiary]

These gloves are specially made not to get in the way of my life, so...they're fairly water proof.

[compendiem]

They sound pretty useful. Would I be able to specially commission a pair?

[evidentiary]

Perhaps...? That said, I don't recall where I commissioned them from. I got them from Retrospec.

[compendiem]

So Retrospec can give out useful gifts sometimes too, huh...

[ while he gets a blinding bow and Dave gets shitty sords ]

[evidentiary]

I suppose it depends on if you had anything useful in your past life?

[ also she's leaving the restroom now so ]

[compendiem]

[ He trails behind her, trying to think of whether he had anything useful in his part life, but a lot of it has been him at school or around town. His hands were almost always in his pockets, but they were empty. The sword. The bow. ... He's not sure he can call those useful, when they give him the added trouble of needing to learn how to use them.

Hm.

Oh. ]

I had these headphones I was always wearing. Pretty comfortable. Strange taste in music. But that would be nice to receive.

[evidentiary]

Your headphones rather than the taste in music, I assume?

[compendiem]

Can his taste in music be transferred to me?

[evidentiary]

I don't see why not. It seems that emotions and feelings can be...

[compendiem]

...Did you hear that from somebody, or is that experience talking...?

[ Minato has his misgivings about the Engrish rap that seems to be AU Arisato's preferred genre, but emotions and feelings... having those doesn't sound too bad, to be honest. Not when his own emotions and feelings feel blunted on a good day, nonexistent on a bad. ]

[evidentiary]

I've heard it. I haven't had that problem too much myself. We...mostly seem to agree on things, that girl and I? Although we took different paths in life.

[compendiem]

What's alternate universe Kirigiri like? A punk rocker?

[evidentiary]

A detective, actually. [ PUNK ROCKER KIRIGIRI...heaven help everyone ]

[compendiem]

[ He took "different paths" to mean severely different paths, okay. But he would have supported Kyouko in any of her punk rocker dreams. ]

So... from uncovering mysteries of the human body, to that of the world.

[evidentiary]

Yes. She was...very well trained for it, I think...?

[compendiem]

How lucky we are to have you, then. Having so many mysteries here that need solving.

[evidentiary]

...Well, I'll do my best, at any rate. What do you know of your own past?
