"No worries, just listening is enough!"

"I guess so, but there's a saying in English." Kanaye attempted to speak it correctly and failed. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Realizing his company doesn't understand said language, he laughed sheepishly. "It means that it's still a bad thing, even if it was for good intentions."

Kanaye stopped in his tracks. Did she really just say that? His smiled widened and he laughed, skipping after Maeko. "Thanks, Maeko-chan! That's great! It means a lot!"

"Ah, okay...." Maeko wasn't entirely sure about that. But this really was one of those situations where even she had to admit to herself that no matter how hard she tried there wasn't a great deal she could do.

With her excellent grasp of english, Maeko totally managed to work out that was 'to visit the basement be nice'. Which didn't make a great deal of sense but that wasn't really unusual for Kanaye. "You're probably right but..." She shook her head.

She wasn't quite sure such a simple response should really cause a reaction like that but smiled anyway. "I'm glad you're happy, I guess!"

	"Well, he is your father. Lots of people are attached to their parents, so I can't blame you." He shrugged. "But, still..." Laughing, Kanaye looked around. "You wanna play a game or something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's probably something like that, yeah. He's always meant well, I'm just not really deaf enough." She nodded. "That sounds nice. Do you have a favourite game?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's kind of selfish, though. To want you to be deaf with him to share the pain or something..." Kanaye shook his head. "Well, if you were, I'd learn sign language! I mean, I like languages, so with some hard work I could probably get enough to talk to you in a couple of months!" "Not really, no. I'm just going where you'll go!"

"It's...it's not really like that. Not sharing pain. It's more like there's a whole world of sound that exists for me and that he has no way of protecting me from and so he just tried to keep me away from it instead. I guess it'd be like if one of the club members lost thier persona and had to know we were fighting with no way at all to help. It's not really something I can resent him for."

She smiled, trying to figure out how to respond to that. It was a pretty weird thing to say but actually also kind of sweet. "You'd...thanks, I guess. I'm glad I'd still be able to talk to you."

"Huh. The fish game, then!"

"...I guess that's better." Kanaye said, sulkily. "But...still. That's kind of overprotective, right? I mean, you had to do that grave cleaning by yourself when you were little, right? It's just confusing."

"Once again, Maeko-chan, I'm glad to help! I certainly wouldn't want to leave you unable to communicate with lots of people, so..." He shrugged. "I guess I just like learning languages. More people to talk to!"

"Alright! Do you know where it is?"

	"Yeah, he got weird once I started talking." Maeko said, shrugging. "I do the grave cleaning for my mother, he just tells me to stay here during Obon while he returns home. He doesn't want me to speak to his family." "...not really, I just assumed there'd be one. It's the only festival game I really know too well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well that's not very nice." Kanaye winced and looked somewhat irritated. "Why? I mean, I guess you've never met them but I can't imagine they don't want to see you. At the very least they'd be nice for a visit..."

"Well, let's go find it, then!" Resisting the urge to grab her hand and run, Kanaye simply started walking, looking around, trying to find the fish game.

	Maeko shrugged, suddenly uncharacteristically flippant. "I don't really want to see them, honestly. They're jerks." "I'm sure there'll be one, it seems like a normal thing for there to be at a festival." Maeko said, nodding to herself and following. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-12 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh?" Kanaye was curious. "I guess it's a good thing, then, that you never see them. Did they do anything to you? You're alright, right?!" Kanaye was, once again, panicking. "Of course. Why wouldn't there be?" Kanaye laughed. He managed to find out, so he pointed. "Over there, Maeko-chan!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	giantfruitbyday 2010-01-12 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Huh? They didn't do anything to me, I never met them. I'm not sure they know I exist." She paused, shaking her head. "They kicked my father out as soon as they could get away with it. I think he was younger than I am now at the time. His disability was an embarassment." "Ah, yay!" Maeko started to run toward the stall, wobbled, and settled for walking.

	"..Oh dear." Kanaye just shook his head and sighed. "I can see why he's bitter. Don't know why he goes back to them, though." He shrugs. "There's familial loyalty, and then there's just...whatever that is." Kanaye smiled and walked after her, sitting down and smiling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know the details, we don't really talk about it but they asked him to go back. Returning at obon's the compromise they reached, I suppose." Maeko said, paying for one of the paper scoops. She frowned in concentration then swiped at a fish. Nothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-13 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Ah. Well, I guess it's something. I can't blame him for wanting to go back. It's like Kozue-chan." Kanaye shrugged. "I can't blame her if she wants to run away from those idiots." Kanaye tried not to laugh. "Keep going as long as you need, Maeko-chan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	giantfruitbyday 2010-01-13 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Family are...not really easy to detatch yourself from, I suppose." Maeko sighed, partly at that and partly with irritation at her failure to catch a stupid fish. "Yeah, I'm sure to get one if I keep trying!" She said, paying for a third try. After her sixth attempt she threw the scoop into a nearby litter bin, sulking. "Fish are stupid anyway."

	zealousemperor 2010-01-13 12:33 am UTC (link)
	"Well if you can't you're not trying hard enough!" Kanaye nodded. Shaking his head, Kanaye smiled at Maeko. "It's ok, Maeko-chan. Those games are designed to get as much money as possible out of you. I don't think it's even possibly to win!" He laughed loudly. "I have to admit, if anyone could do it, it would be you, Maeko-chan! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	giantfruitbyday 2010-01-13 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose. Family's kind of..." Maeko trailed off, shrugging. "Kind of werid like that, you know?" She continued her sulking. "I know, right? It's a stupid game. Fish are dumb anyway and festival fish are all sick and die after a few days." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-13 12:48 am UTC (link)
	"I guess so..." Kanaye shrugged. Kanaye leaned down towards Maeko and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry about it, Maeko-chan. We can go do something else! You'll definitely win at that!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	giantfruitbyday 2010-01-13 01:04 am UTC (link)
	Maeko continued her sulking, though did so a lttle more quietly. She spoke again after a few more seconds, nodding. "Yeah, let's try some game that's not 5000% dumb." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-13 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye smiled and laughed. "Yes, let's!" He offered a hand up. "What should we do now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	giantfruitbyday 2010-01-13 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Maeko took the offerred hand and stood, thinking. And then, after a few seconds' thought. "I don't think I actually know any other games." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-13 01:33 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye nodded. "Ah. Well, I doubt you just wanna hang out and talk to me, so..." He looked around. "Let's go find something!" He started walking off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	giantfruitbyday 2010-01-13 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"If that's what you wanted it wouldn't bother me." Maeko said, shrugging. "But a game sounds fun, too!" She followed, wobbling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2010-01-13 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye laughed. "I could hold your hand if you want, Maeko-chan. Or we could get started on those lessons!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
