[Gaignun nodded. He'd done something very similar for Jenny when Duo and Rubedo had gone out vampire hunting, so he felt that she could not really fault him for extending the favour to Duo. Even if his house arrest was for a very different reason.

Also, he understood what Duo's thought process had been behind all this. Hell, he'd done something similar himself...]

Yes. Come along then.

[Nodding once more, Duo makes his way out of the door and down the stairs. He doesn't pause as he exits the house, looking briefly behind him to see if Gaignun is following. ]

[Oh he's following, don't worry, though looking for all the world like he's just out for a walk.]

[Duo's steps are purposeful, though the moment he steps outside he seems to visibly relax. He leads Gaignun through the streets of Adstring, careful not to go too far ahead. He glances over his shoulder every so often just to make sure he was staying within sight of his current "guardian".]

[don't worry about him so much, Gaignun is capable of keeping up with you. Thank you long legs and URTV reflexes.]

How long have you been here, Gaignun?

I got here in the Summer. [Just before his birthday in August.]

Jr was certainly surprised to see me though.

So...a bit before me.

Yeah, just a bit. This place was kind of overwhelming at first.

I got chased by pumpkin zombie things my first day here.

[He actually starts to slow down, matching strides with Gaignun.]

It's not been easy. My skills haven't been all that useful here. Those...heartless? Yeah, they weren't even phased by bullets, even though I hit two between the eyes.

[Shifting the duffel bag on his shoulders, he adds..]

Luckily, I found at least one thing that I'm good at that is actually useful.

I know how you feel. All the skills I've gained as adult, not to mention the resources are all but useless here.

As for the heartless, it takes a special kind of weapon to take them down, and only a few people from the world that they're from have them, so don't feel too badly about that. I think bullets will work well enough on almost everything else.

Would your cooking be an effective weapon?

[A smirk plays on his lip, but he continues to look ahead, and not at Gaignun.]

Haha, it used to be, but I've been taking lessons from Angeal so that it's not so...explosive.

Albedo is still very possessive of that space in the house though. Did you see the picture they drew?

I did. I'm sure I'll be on that picture soon enough. It's hard to learn to cook when you're a street rat.

I don't doubt it. Then again, most of Rubedo's knowledge is burn it until it's not raw anymore.

...The dinner we had wasn't that bad...

[And please don't take notice of the bright blush on his cheeks...]

Well, admittedly that was before he and Albedo merged so perhaps he's improved by osmosis. [He sees that blush, but he'll take it easy on Duo and not mention it.]

That's possible. Albedo wasn't...that happy with my inability to properly cut up garlic. First time I met the guy...

That must have been an interesting hello. He gets rather...possessive of the kitchen and food.

Yeeeeaaaaah...that wasn't a pleasant experience. Ru got a good tongue lashing for not telling me about Albedo's...situation before then...

I hope that Albedo has been not horribly hostile to you.

[He shrugs before shifting his duffel bag once more.]

I haven't really talked to him since that night.

[His eyes scan the area before taking a sharp corner down an alley.]

I've been in hiding, sort of, since my sentence went into effect.

Well, when you do feel a bit more inclined, you two probably should talk a bit more. It couldn't hurt anyways.

I'm sure Jenny will end your sentence soon.

[Duo smiles faintly up at Gaignun before hooking a right onto a street out of the alley. His pace picks up slightly as a stable-looking house comes into view.]

There it is!

[He gets up to the door and fishes the wire from his hair. Kneeling down next to the knob, he slips the wire into the lock and easily opens the locked door.]

Really, they couldn't make these things more challenging?

[With a shake of his head, the door eases open and Duo disappears into the house.]

Oh, good! All of my stuff is still here!

You expected it not to be? [He's just going to step inside and close the door after himself.]
