So I'm not a big laws guy, but I'm pretty sure walking around with a giant scythe would be against some kind of law, despite that being a shitty kind of weapon. Does it make a difference, not-getting-arrested-wise, if that scythe is a book at the time?

[He'd say something about wanting it a month or two ago, but he can't lift it when it's a scythe, so it's not that useful.]

Also Retrospec doesn't care what your legal address is, but I don't think that should surprise anyone.

Right now this isn't doing me any good. I can't even read the book that easily, it's in Tokyo-ben.

Ah, are you Japanese as well?

First generation immigrant. My parents came from Aomori.

Well in that case

はじめまして！！(^０^)ノ

Haha but um, if you have any trouble with the book, I can help? I don't know how much Japanese you know, but I can read it.

どひゃばー? I can understand Tsugaru-ben, since that's what my parents use at home. But I'm really not that good at Tokyo-ben...

[OH...

OH NO, TSUGARU-BEN...]

Aah okay! I'm not as familiar with yours, but I know Tokyo-ben very well!

[It's okay, just don't call it zuzu-ben and we're good.]

What part of Japan are you from?

Kumamoto! So pretty far away from where you used to live, I think.

I was born in Recolle. But my parents have been to Kyushu a few times before.

Have you ever been to Japan before?

Never. My Tokyo-ben would be better if I'd ever had to use it.

Well, you can always practice with me if you'd like!

I mean of course you don't have to. It's not like it's necessary here in Recolle.

But I figured just in case...

You wouldn't mind doing that?

[Tutoring him in a language he technically knows but not really.]

No I don't mind.

It's good for me, too. Speaking only in English has been... interesting...

[Or better known as "surefire way to feel homesick" but she's trying to think POSITIVE]

I'm sorry I can't really talk back at you in Japanese you'll understand, at least not fluently.

Well that means we can trade! I wouldn't mind learning your dialect!

It's a deal! I'll teach you everything I know!
