A treasure is the most important thing to someone, right? I always thought that was usually their life, but maybe it's different for Witches?
[He cocks his head at Ann from below the dock, a little ways deeper, and then shakes out his bangs a little when they flop into his eyes. Definitely kind of like a large dog.]
If you can change Nirrti's heart -- well, you'd probably have to find it first. I'm pretty sure!
[She's got that whole heartless cacklelife thing going on, after all.]

None of that is right. Sure, there are people who value their lives above anything, but most of the time, your most important treasure's something different. And if you're a witch, I bet that's triple true.
[she sighs.]
But you're right. I gotta find the entrance.

A Witch's life is pretty different, but what other kinds of treasures are there? I don't think I really get what they are...
[He's too much of a straightforward sort of guy for all these metaphysical concepts at morning o'clock on a Sunday, y'all. They just spent yesterday trying to get a Witch to make sense and stop turbo-stabbing them and only succeeded by the skin of their teeth (again).]
Or what kind of entrance you're looking for. A treasure is a place?

The entrance to her heart, so I can steal her heart's treasure.
It's... not that straightforward, unfortunately.

Anon?
[she's searching for him-- and well. it talks a while before she gets the idea to go to Natsuno's room.
She pokes her head in.]
Anon, are you here...?
[she's searching for him-- and well. it talks a while before she gets the idea to go to Natsuno's room.

Anon, are you here...?
[She'll find him..... sorting through his closet. Natsuno's closet, probably, but it's doubled in size since Friday and there are a lot more varied fashions in there now. Some may even look familiar to Ann, and also it just runs the gamut of the sexes.
Otherwise, the room still looks oddly lived in, probably because Anon claimed it almost immediately. His sword is there, the big round plush of his trial form, and other little touches that reveal how much he's in fact moved the heck in.
He looks up and tilts his head at her.]
Hmm?

Hmm?
You're claiming this place, huh?
[she pauses]
... Is that my school uniform?

It was more comfortable here.
[He doesn't quite say comforting, but judging by how much he's settled in and the easy way he moves around the space that comes across anyway.
He pauses his rummaging, though, looking from Ann to the designated uniform and back again. There's a half-grin. It's become somewhat rare in the last couple of days.]
Aha, I could kind of guess why my closet was like this, but I haven't been able to match everyone up yet.

Well...
I don't really want to dress like I'm going to school, so you know what? Keep it. Wear it, if you want, even.
[she sits down lightly on the bid, looking at him.]
You know... I definitely underrated how dangerous you were.

I've never been to the schools you guys go to, but it might be fun to pretend.
[For some reason, his voice gets quieter when he says that.
After a moment he seems to drum up some energy again, though it's still much lower than you'd usually expect from him.
He doesn't look back at Ann, continuing to arrange the rather messy closet.]
Hmm, I'm surprised people are still visiting. Maybe you're all just kind of stupid?

... [a sigh]
Maybe. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the dumbest people here, so why not.
But I've never felt threatened by you. And... I worried.

Well, I guess there's some useful parts of being stupid. Not enough people yell at Nirrti, you know. Her faces are always so funny when that happens.
[He seems to mean that, even if his heart isn't quite in it at the moment.
His movements slow down a little as he seems to absorb the rest, though there's no other visible reaction with his back to her.]
It's not like fear is a bad thing. It helps people survive. [that's kind of a non-sequitur, huh?] What are you worried about, then?

I worried about you.
[she wants to focus on one thing at a time.]
You've always been straightforward and honest... and this whole thing feels like neither.

I don't really think there's anything to worry about. This is just how trials usually go.
[Speaking of neither straightforward nor honest... Well.
It's somewhat similar to certain parts of trial. Perhaps he believes what he's saying, at the end of the day, and that's the important part.]
I think I was pretty honest today. There's no point in really hiding much here.

Yeah, but... I wasn't worried about the trial. I was worried about you. Regardless of if you were honest then or not, pain, something like that... it tends to stick around, at least for a little bit, you know?
[He's just standing at the closet now. It's quiet for a moment.]
... I was stupid, too. But it's fine.
I got what I wanted, and I'm not going to give up. You can fight through any kind of pain if you just remove the source.

[There's something like a laugh.
His shoulders have been a little slumped, mostly, but that's the general low-energy thing. Otherwise there's not really movement. It's still kind of an unnatural stillness for him.]
I've been told that a lot since I came here. I wonder why?

Because there's a lot here that fails to meet our expectations, isn't there? I thought Koide-kun would make it to the end. While he was difficult, I didn't think he was harmful to anyone.
But he's still gone.
But he's still gone.
That was the stupid part. Expecting it to last forever.
[There's a small shrug from him. There's almost something like amusement in his voice now.]
And everyone underestimates Koide. He's good at that. I should have asked Syaoran how much those bruises hurt, but I don't think he could have told me at that point.
[He's. Still using the present tense.]

[she notices that, and pulls her knees into her chest.]
Anon... Koide isn't around anymore to be underestimated. Not unless we end this game on our terms.

Hmm. The Furniture is going to be around, isn't it?
[He actually seems pretty casual about that, and maybe that's just part and parcel of his nature.]
Wow, he is going to hate that. [...] They have to do something with the Pieces at the end of the Game, anyway. That's the important part. Besides, if we don't end this Game on our terms, we'll just all die. So it's fine.
[Is it fine......]

[she stands up, and announces,]
I don't care if you think this is stupid.
[and then she... hugs him?]

Huh...?
[He actually jumps a little when she hugs him -- doesn't pull away but doesn't reciprocate either, though he does try to glance over his shoulder with a look that's mostly like what, what are you doing. He is not a pompom at this point and so it's definitely weird.
Like you'd expect him to be the touchy-feely sort given his usual attitude but he's somehow not so much.]
Okay...
[All the same, he seems to be indulging her.]

After all that, you still don't know what the treasure is, do you? Nobody does. Because she said she lost it.
This treasure hunt just keeps getting more and more complicated...
