It's what I want that's easy

[plum_that_snaps]

Who: Hinamori Momo (plum_that_snaps), Frau (ibreakrules), and Hitsugaya Toushirou (icy_heavens)
When: Saturday, March 31st, Morning
Where: 22 Keene Lane, Sector 4, at a garage sale
Summary: Hinamori goes thrift-hunting and meets a bishop.
Warnings: None!

The garage sale was much bigger than Hinamori had anticipated. Furniture, clothing, toys, electronics and what seemed like an endless amount of bizarre unidentifiable knick-knacks were scattered in an incredibly haphazard fashion across a sprawling yard. Hinamori hardly knew where to start. She could teach these people a thing or two about planning.

Some of the other shoppers were like her, looking for a few things in particular but in no hurry to find them. Others seemed desperately competitive, hunting for bargains like their lives depended on them. Hinamori tried to avoid these ones, as they seemed likely to glare or start a fight if she encroached too closely on their space.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small dresser that looked like exactly what she was looking for. Hinamori started towards it, but before she could get there, she felt herself being shoved aside. "A-ah!" she cried, stumbling and starting to fall. She threw her hands out wildly for something, anything to grab onto. (Given the precarious piling of some of the items near her, this could end quite badly.)

Comments

"I—" She opened her mouth to start to defend herself, but it was true, wasn't it? Oh well, stick to the usual response. "You oughtn't call me stupid, Hitsugaya-kun."

She stabbed a piece of meat with her fork and twirled it before sticking it in her mouth, closing her eyes in bliss as she savored it. Then they opened again and she looked at Frau. "Oh, wait... You were telling us a—about flying! In a... ah, what did you call it? Hawk-something..."

[ibreakrules]

If Hinamori were a little more snappy with her responses Frau might think that her relationship with Hitsugaya's was somewhat similar to his own with Teito. They meant a lot to each other, but they also drove each other nuts. Frau and Teito's relationship was a little more unique though since they attacked each other endlessly, both verbally and physically.

"Ah. A hawkzile. It's how we travel where I'm from. At least most of them time if you have a need to get from one district to another."

"Then stop saying stupid things."

Simple as that, really. Not that he would expect her to. That was half the fun of this friendship, calling out each other's strange little quirks and habits. Even if the teasing about his height would always bug him a little. Because he really wasn't that small -- nevermind everyone he knew was taller than him -- and he was working on it anyway.

He kept listening to the conversation with mild interest, but he didn't have anything to add at the moment.

Hinamori wanted to reply to Frau, but she couldn't help but be distracted by Histugaya's retort. "I-I don't say stupid things! You just always make them seem stupid when you—" What was it exactly that he did? Things made sense in her head, and then he would always point out where she'd gone wrong. She was sure it was his fault, somehow. "I don't know! Whatever it is that you do!"

Frau snorted and wasn't able to restrain his laughter at all. These two would make a really good afternoon of entertainment. It was hysterical. Plus, he had a feeling that if he kept sticking around Hinamori would unknowingly give Frau quite a bit of ammunition to work with for later.

[icy_heavens]

The shouting was unimportant, and so he let it pass. She was always shouting at him for how he said things. It'd be a waste of energy to be bothered by it.

"I use logic." That was essentially the issue; he was the critical thinker between the two of them. There were times that he didn't get half the things she said.

He would have taken another bite, but Frau's sudden bout of laughter startled him out of it, and he frowned. "What?"

[plum_that_snaps]

"I use logic too." Just, her logic tended to be warped to fit what she felt the answer should be, rather than dispassionately accurate. The idea of divorcing herself from the personal ramifications of any decision, even if it would provide a better result, seemed a bit detestable. That, and she just couldn't manage to do it.

[ibreakrules]

"Logic? Who needs logic?"

Frau didn't. Or at least nothing more than general common sense in his book. Castor could be all analytical and evaluative. Frau stuck with his gut. Minus the part of his gut that the scythe had a firm grip on. He tried not to stick with that.

Hitsugaya's demand of what just caused Frau to laugh harder. The kid seemed to think that he could just force an answer out of Frau. No way in hell, but it was funny anyways.

"Nothing~"

[icy_heavens]

"Evidently, I'm alone in that."

He liked dispassionate accuracy, most of the time. The world made more sense to him that way. Seeing things only the way you wanted to was dangerous. It was just the way his brain worked in general -- just not in absolutes. He wasn't a robot.

Why did he ever expect answers out of this idiot? Why? "Then stop it."

[plum_that_snaps]

Hey. She just said she used logic. But it wasn't important. She wasn't sure how she felt about Frau laughing at them either, but this conversation was already getting dangerously close to fighting again.

"H-Hawkziles." She had to use more than her normal use of force to get the word out. This whole dynamic was throwing her off a little. "What do they look like?" Distract. Find a neutral topic. She could do this.

[ibreakrules]

Frau shot Hitsugaya a beaming smile. He simply ignored Hinamori, not wanting to be distracted at all. It seemed like he'd irked Hitsugaya which meant it was the perfect time to continue and rub it in a little. Besides, if he let himself be sidetracked it would seem like he had listened to Hitsugaya's request to stop. That was a no no.

"Don't want to."
