[carpe] For Neville -closed-

[misborncat]

Asato was glad that the day had dawned clear and not too cold and there didn't seem to be a storm coming. All in all, a good day to spend outside.

The Ribika gathered up his tools for the day, taking care not to tangle the netting, and stowed it all in a shoulder bag before going to meet with Neville. The greenhouse wasn't a far walk and, remembering his manners, he knocked before opening the door.

So, fishing trip for Neville and Asato.

"I don't know what those are," Asato says with a light shrug. "And I've never seen any fish like this before."

Then I hope you'll have better luck tonight. <333

"As many worlds as this place draws from, there's no telling," Neville laughs. "It's not very big, but big enough to eat," he adds, taking it from the hook.

Me too. You're a sweetheart. <3

"I could start a fire if you'd like?" Yeah, Asato forgets about the whole magic thing at times.

Me? Nope. ^^

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

Neville grins. "Are you hungry now? Because I could start the fire in an instant," he offers.

Relunctant sweetheart. :p

"Well, they may take a while to roast," Asato points out. "And while they cook, you can show me how to use your rod."

Shh. I've got a reputation to keep *shifty look* the reputation of being sweet

"Very good, then," Neville answers agreeably. He holds the fishing pole out to Asato. And with a few whispered spells and a flick of his wand, a small fire is soon burning nearby.

*sporfles at Asato's request* It's a good thing Neville's mind is purer than mine or he'd be blushing like mad. lol

I won't tell anyone, souji. ♥ But I think everyone knows...

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

Asato takes the fishing pole carefully, watching with interest as Neville starts the fire. It does take a bit of the bite from the air.

...Eep! I didn't even think about that! Asato and I have rather oblivious minds at times.

♥ Oh good. DRAT!

While his wand is out, Neville transfigures a couple of rocks into comfortable chairs for them also. "Can you think of anything else we might need?"

Could be mine brain is just a little evil or some such too. lol

Your secret is safe with me.

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

That earns a surprised stare and his fur fluffing up a bit. "Ah, I don't know? I usually sit on a blanket here..."

Or I'm just a space-case.

I knew I could trust you.

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

Neville looks concerned with the fur fluffs. "I didn't -- did I upset you?"

LOL, noooooo, I don't think that's the case at all. Shar just has a dirty mind, yo.

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

Asato shakes his head. "Your magic is ... new. Like Merlin's but different." He was just surprised, not upset.

I wonder what will happen come spring then when Asato goes missing ^^

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

"The Merlin is revered in my world as the greatest wizard to ever live. His magic is ancient," Neville nods, clearly relieved he hadn't upset Asato. "You live with him, don't you?"

Refresh my memory, why is Asato going missing? Neville is going to be greatly worried and upset. :(

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

Asato nods. "I do. He was kind to offer me a room in his home and I try to help him as best as I can in return." He smiles a bit. "But he says we're good friends as well.

"And I like the smell of magic," Asato adds.

He'll be missing for only about a week while he goes into heat. Merlin will know where he is.

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

"Then I'm certain he means it," Neville smiles, and it broadens at the last. "I didn't realize you could smell it. It's probably a good thing you like it, living with Merlin," he chuckles.

Neville: *BLUSHES*

Hopefully Merlin will reassure Neville his friend is well. ^^

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

"It smells different than the magic that Konoe has, but it's there. A ... sort of tingle in my nose." He smiles, a bit embarrassed by that. "A good feeling though. There's other magic, deep in the forest and in the mansion that smells of death. I don't like that."

Asato: *sad*

Hopefully. Running off and looking for him could be awkward for everyone involved, more so since Asato really is developing a crush on Neville.

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

Neville giggles softly. "A nose tingle. I'll have to remember that," he smiles warmly, but then the rest sinks in. "That reminds me of Death Eaters - evil wizards in my world. Is it the entire Mansion or just a few residents here?" He's clearly concerned with this bit of information.

Aww, Asato, why so sad? Neville blushes a lot. <3

We'll have to discuss if you want to play that awkward or not? Neville is really intrigued by Asato, but I'm not sure it is in 'crush' territory yet, only that it could go that way. He does consider him a very dear friend, which means a lot to Neville.

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

"A few people here" Asato shakes his head. "I don't know them, but I've told Merlin about it. It's not my place to judge anybody though."

Because it's embarrassing. ; ;

Neville is very sweet. ^^

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad Merlin knows," Neville nods. He recalls Merlin warning him that not everyone here was good, but it didn't hurt to be reminded.

*huggles Asato* It's a natural fact of life.

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

"Of course. I don't keep anything from him. We're like family." That's what he thinks anyway.

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

"I didn't think you kept secrets from him," Neville assures his friend. Without saying anything else, he transfigures a leaf into a picnic blanket. "In case you prefer it to the chairs," he murmurs with a slight blush.

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

Asato perks up at the magic again. "That's amazing." And it probably will always be amazing to the Ribika.

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

"It really isn't, not where I'm from. Just basic magic," Neville shrugs, blushing slightly.

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

"To me it is," Asato points out. "Magic is so very rare and the kind here is so different than what I know, nothing you do could be basic."

[killedthesnake.livejournal.com]

Neville blushes more. "You'll probably get used to it once we hang out enough." It was definitely time to change the subject. "Right then, show me how to use your net?"

[misborncat.livejournal.com]

Asato smiles and moved to gather up the net properly again. "Alright. It's very easy," he says. "Much easier than your rod and ...reel." He steps up to Neville and holds the carved wooden stick with the line wrapped around it out.

"This is the part you hold onto the whole time."
