Fifth Miracle

[beamiracle]

[It's the weekend, and there's no school. And since Lion's a teacher and he's already finished marking assignments, there really isn't anything to do. More specifically, there isn't anything around the house to read. So what does that mean? A trip to the library!

A. If anyone's in the library today, chances are they'll see Lion perusing the shelves. And it looks like Lion's already caught on to the fact that since Mayfield classifies him as a man, the only books available to Lion will be books about car repair. Lion's starting to look a little frustrated by this.]

Is there really nothing else here at all...?

[B. Eventually Lion gives in and figures that books on car repair are better than nothing, so he's taken some out...perhaps a bit more than Lion can carry. You may see Lion on the way home, carrying a somewhat precariously stacked amount of books. Lion's trying to be careful by walking very slowly, but still...]

-She closes her book, setting it on the side table along with her tea, and hops out of her seat, shuffling back into her house.

... Lion may be waiting awhile.-

[Will just wait outside. Lion has been taught to be patient, after all.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

-She is really slow, bro.-

[Let's have some music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXGhvoekY44) while we wait, shall we?]

-And eventually she comes out with the satchel.

... She looks winded.-

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you. Are you alright...?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

A-ah, yes... I tried to hurry, in case you dropped your books.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Oh, there really was no need to hurry...I'm not in a rush to get anywhere, after all.

Thank you again...is there anything I can do for you in return?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Nothing will be needed in return. I am simply happy to help out a fellow reader.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're sure. Still, if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know. My name is Lion Ushiromiya.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

-wait...-

You are part of that family?

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am. I'm assuming you know us?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I do... specifically a young man named Battler.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Oh, Battler. Yes, he's my cousin. So you've spoken to him often, then?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I have. He's friendly, if a bit odd.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

That's an accurate description.

So what has he told you about us?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Nothing, actually.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

Really?

Well, I'm not surprised. We've all experienced things that are almost unbelievable...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

That is correct. But it is more that the conversation has simply never gone to his family.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

I see. Well, we're quite the family.

[Lion says this almost ruefully. He's learned a lot of things about the Ushiromiya family before coming here...some things Lion wished he'd never learned.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Considering your connection to that witch woman, I'm not surprised.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

You mean Beatrice...yes, that's true.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... You know, it's uncanny. You look a bit like her.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

...I do, don't I? Of course, there's a reason for that...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Is there?
