Moving On
Now that Shou was up and healed, Momiji's time as a security guard was at it's end. Something kept tugging at her though, and it bothered her, even as she said her goodbyes. It wasn't but a few minutes after she left that someone, or at least something came back through.

Minutes later, a certain landlord might hear an annoying cawing at the window to his office.

	Edward is busy working on some paperwork, and that damn crow wasn't helping. "Go away," he grumps at it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Instead of leaving, it pecks at the window, cawing loudly, and staring at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Edward snaps his head up. "Don't peck at the glass!" he snaps, setting aside his pen and heading over to the window, opening it to shoo the crow away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shutter_shield 2012-03-25 06:28 am UTC (link)
	The crow flies up for a second, and dives into the room, settling quickly on the back of his chair. CAW! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2012-03-25 06:30 am UTC (link)
	Edward turns and stares at it. "Oh, this is not happening," he grumbles. "Get out. Shoo." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shutter_shield 2012-03-25 06:32 am UTC (link)
	The crow tilts it's head slightly, and then flies over to one of the other chairs, seeming to settle. Caw CAW! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2012-03-25 06:34 am UTC (link)
	Edward stares. No. No. This cannot be. Fine. Edward sits back down in his chair, folds his hands in front of him on the desk, and feeling totally foolish, spoke to the crow. "What can I do for you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shutter_shield 2012-03-25 06:39 am UTC (link)
	The crow just looks at him for a second, just long enough for him to wonder if he'd finally lost it, before speaking. "An apartment for three." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2012-03-25 06:44 am UTC (link)
	Edward had started to wonder if he was losing his mind again, but then the crow talked. "I wondered if you were a talking animal," he said, pulling out his availability list. "Two bedroom or three?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Momiji said it was very hierarchical. Very rigid. Nobody rose above their station. I don't know much beyond that that I can remember," he admits. (Reply to this) (Thread)

"Then she likely spared you some of the better details. Let me put it this way, as an example. Momiji is near the bottom of the social standing, being a lesser wolf. She's a guard, and a mother, and damn good at both. I personally reported to Lord Tenma." She explains. "That said, we're near opposite sides. If it were discovered that we were wed, Momiji and her child would be executed, no questions asked, no trial, and I'd be exiled at the least."

	Edward stares, wide-eyed in horror. Then his expression hardens. "Well, no one will care about that here, I can guarantee that. Anyone who has a problem with will answer to me personally, and I don't like people making troubles for my residents. I will make things very painful for the person who tries to give you shit about your relationship." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Aya nods. "Sorry if I gave you too much description. But, that's why, even if it might be more at risk then back home, I'd much rather live here. Not everything is always peachy in that world, especially since..." Aya trails off, then shakes her head.

"Mmm. Never mind. Now then, I'm not terribly worried about it, but back to your problems. Given my talents, I'm more then willing to offer my skills and talents in an emergency. You'd be very hard pressed to find someone faster then me, so don't hesitate if time is essential. Other then that, I'll help out where I can. And of course, I'll do my best to keep things lively." She then grins, and leans forward, handing Ed the signed lease.

	Edward laughs. "I'm sure you will, Miss Reporter." He glances at the lease agreement- Aya was her name. Okay. "So will you and Momiji be moving in right away, Aya?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shutter_shield 2012-03-25 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Aya waves her camera. "I pretty much have everything I can salvage without heavy lifting, and the three of us going missing at the same time will send up so many warning flags for Tenma that there's no way we'd be able to go back, so yeah. It'll be this afternoon if possible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2012-03-25 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Do you want help with the heavy lifting? My husband and brothers and I can head over to help out," he says. "Keep in mind that these unites are pre-furnished, so you shouldn't want for much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shutter_shield 2012-03-25 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	Aya considers this for a moment, before shaking her head. "No, it's not worth it. Humans aren't exactly welcome in the village, notable exceptions aside, and I doubt you guys want to lug an eight-hundred pound printing press out. Though, it would be nice to give the assholes there the middle finger." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Enough nursing staff," Edward says truthfully. "We've got one nurse. Delilah is studying to be one, but until Joseph is older, she can't take up the job, and Brian and Storme upstairs are studying to be psychologists, although Brian's going for psychiatrist so he can prescribe medicines. Russell's also the pharmacist, and I'm the guy who makes the medicines. We're all stretched pretty thin."

"I've never had the touch for the healing arts," Aya admits, pondering and leaning back. "Though, it might not hurt for you to talk to Momiji. She's always been real good with treating wounds and small things like that, broken bones. Although, I'm sure the methods are primitive compared to what you have available, she might be willing to learn it. Especially if it keeps her from having to take up the sword again." Aya says, looking a bit withdrawn at that last sentence.

	"We'd be glad to have her on board," Edward says. "We've got Shou and Nazrin as security, so we don't need Momiji filling that role anymore. Tell her we said thanks for filling in while Shou was down, by the way. So unless she wants to, she's free to find whatever profession she wants here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shutter_shield 2012-03-26 12:35 am UTC (link)
	About that time, a knock comes at the door. "Hello?" A voice comes from outside, quickly identifiable as Momiji's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2012-03-26 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Edward recognizes her voice. "Come in, Momiji!" he calls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shutter_shield 2012-03-26 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Momiji opens the door, and a smaller girl peeks out from behind her. "Hello, Mr. Edward, sir! It's okay, Momo, this is just my boss. At least, my current boss." Momo sticks her head out from behind her mother, and looks at him. "....He smells funny." Which prompts a laugh from Aya. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2012-03-26 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Edward laughs. "Come on in. Your wife's working for me now, so you can feel free to relax and take care of your child. I've already offered Elric teaching services for Momo," he says. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Momiji blinks, and looks at Aya. "Oh. She..does?"

Aya nods, and smiles, standing from her chair. "I do, and this place is better then you explained, Momiji. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Momiji sets her hands on Momo's shoulders, leading her to stand in front of her. "I did, Aya-sama! I told you this was a great place! Now, Momo, dear? Say hello, and apologize for saying he smells funny. That's his arm and leg that smell odd, because it's auto-mail."

Momo sniffs again, and grumps at her mom. "Sorry, Mister. A apologize for you smelling funny."

Aya laughs again, and Momiji snaps, "Momo!"
