Aaa... it would be.

[... the more time together, the better. There was no knowing how much longer they'd get together.]

Say... while we're making plans... what about you? Is there anything you'd like for us to do too?

[You know he'd be up for pretty much anything.]

I'm... not honestly sure.

[He's thought about this before, but has never settled on anything.]

Maybe a walk. Just a long hike through the nearby area to get a better feel for it. To help a blind man hone his senses.

Mmm... I'm up for that. Have a long one up through here after we're done. Find somewhere interesting for that picnic I brought.

[He smiles a little.]

People don't explore the mountains much for some reason. Bet we could discover all sorts of things.

I hadn't intended to do it today... But I wouldn't be opposed to it either.

[He leans into Law a little more, still keeping the man steady in the water.]

[Yes, that's nice. He'd cuddle back, but paralyzed.]

I was thinking maybe more than just today? You gotta admit, it does both of us good to be out and moving.

[... pirates don't do well being stationary and in a routine for too long, and Law's feeling a bit restless with village life lately. It'll go away... but, still...]

That's also a viable option. Walking more often will only be positive for both of us in the long run.

[It would satisfy his curiosity as well as allow them to spend more time together doing something somewhat proactive, even if only mildly so.]

It would. Can't be stuck in the village all the time.

[... now while they're on the subject of things to do, perhaps more sparing in the future as well? But that's something to ask for later.]

Sometimes the place gets a little much after a while. It's good to get away.

I wouldn't have agreed in the past... but I believe I do now.

[The village isn't crowded, but it makes the world seem so very small.]

[A look of pure understanding.

... you're restless too.

The enclosure was tiny to a global wanderer like Law, but he didn't realize the walls were closing in on his partner too.]

... you need to get out farther than the enclosure? Like on a mission?

Edited 2013-07-09 01:51 (UTC)

...Perhaps.

The quiet life is pleasant, but I was not built for it.

[Even working for their captors gives him the opportunity to learn more about them.]

... neither of us were.

[It's nice, but not for them, not forever.]

We'll just work around it.

[They already have been, for the most part.]

Mmm... yeah.

[He's quiet for a while, thinking.]

Ever given any thought of what you would do if the Malnosso began transitioning us out of the enclosure and into the world outside?

[It's a thought that's been on his mind since evaluations of Luceti were announced.]

[There's a pause, and Itachi blinks, then frowns.]

...I have not.

[But he should have.]

... I don't think I could decide at this point, partner. Not what to do.

[Closing his eyes and wanting to lean into him.]

... I don't know I could work for them, even if all I've heard makes them seem like the only game outside. I'd hate just being kept in a civilian Malnosso hospital, unable to use any of my other skills. I'm not a civilian. But... ships are crewed by MSF, fighters are MSF only pretty well. I don't know if I could cut it as a soldier either.

Perhaps starting as a civilian would be an option, if only to get a feel for what else is out there and how things operate.

Even though I know that will be difficult.

[A lowering of the eyes.]

Perhaps. We'll see if the time comes.

[...]

... we'll know we're moving towards that if the MSF come into the enclosure and start trying to recruit.

[Itachi nods.

Then he begins to slowly massage Law's shoulders. Really, there are better times for this conversation.]

[There are, and Law takes it as his cue to shut up. It's Itachi's birthday after all - there's no need to be depressing.]

[They'll be depressing enough later, he's sure. Right now it's time for working some of those kinks out before they build back up again.]

[Sighing quietly as Itachi's fingers work. Yep, plenty of kinks as it is... better get them before more build up.]

Mmmm... that feels good.

[That's the idea, Law. For now, Itachi will just smile and continue.

Later, if they still have the energy for it, they can go on their walk.]

[Mmmm... and later, when Law has all but melted in Itachi's embrace:]

You know, if we stay in here for much longer, we'll turn into prunes.

Perhaps.

[At least they'll be comfortable prunes.]

Should we prepare to leave?

[Very comfortable prunes.]

Mmmhmm. Probably should get on that sooner or later.
