Hmmmm? Where may she have gone~?

[Keiichi's voice filters through the journals. Those who know him will rejoice in noticing that he sounds male again... Until they take notice of the strange tone he talks with. It's not an odd tone in him, it's sweet and playful even, but somehow it holds a cord of danger in it.

His voice sounds distant and there's no image in the journal, seems to have activated on its own and that Keiichi isn't paying attention to it.]

That small and sneaky rat, she has a knack for surviving no matter what, doesn't she? Maybe I should take things seriously, games are fun but I'm already tired of this one. Rats should be exterminated anyway, right? We don't want them biting our good and innocent kids anymore.

[Rummaging sounds, he seems to be looking for something before he moves to the journal. He smiles calmly and relaxed, a normal Keiichi smile... Except that his eyes are gold. But that can't be necessarily bad, right?

He opens his mouth to say something but thinks it better apparently.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be doing a small hunt. Oh, yeah, has everyone regained their senses by the way? Or are you all still having fun with the Malnosso?

[Look who's talking.

Keiichi will be found around the village, apparently searching for something or just observing around. He would look normal, if it wasn't because besides the gold eyes he's dressed in definitively different clothes to what he would usually wear, and somehow in person, it's easy to say there's something... Different in him even if one ignores his appearance.

If your name is Miyoko or Takano it would be wise to stay out of his sight unless you have someone with you.]

N-no it makes total sense! I don't want to hear about another girl's parts, whether I have them or not!

Oh?

... Aah, right. I suppose it makes sense after all.

[Laughing, not a cackle, just an amused laugh... That grows and grows. Dare to ask what he's laughing about?]

What's so funny!?

That you would get embarrassed by hearing about another girl's body. You should be careful, it could cause misunderstandings.

No it wouldn't!

It would do it if I didn't know better... Even if it still may be possible.

[Chuckle.]

What's that supposed to mean!?

You know, you get really cute when you're annoyed. Very irresistible, not that you aren't charming on your own when you're happy or in any other mood, of course.

[It could be teasing. Sounds like teasing. But he says it as if he was just stating what time it was. And as if he hadn't been chuckling just a second before.]

V-very irre- Keiichi. What's that all about?

What? Can't a guy be honest and admire a pretty girl when he sees one? Don't worry, it's not as if I have a crush on you. I'm just stating honest facts.

Or can't I?

S-stop being so weird!

I'm just being honest, what's wrong with you?

That's not something someone just says!

It is, unless said person has romantic feelings for the other in which case being honest like that seems to become impossible for some reason. I don't understand what's so hard to say about it though.

Augh!

[If she does he may be tempted to go where she's, because closing the journal like that is not polite at all, you know. He doesn't answer, just hums lightly as in questioning what's bothering her.]

[Ohohoho, well, at least now he'll be amused and distracted for a longer while? Brb, teleporting to her house to check if she's there. If not he'll try the smithy, and keep looking around teleporting and floating.

Yeah... Don't be scared if a Keiichi suddenly teleports in front of you and refuses to set his feet on the ground at first.]

Ah!

[The heated piece never reaches its destiny of hitting him as it stops in middle air and stays floating there.]

If I had known you would attack me I wouldn't have come to visit you. On the other hand you may need something more than throwing things at me.

How - what - Keiichi?

That would be me.

[He looks at her with mild curiosity, she had started a few questions apparently but the only thing coherent at the end was his name. His attention drifts to the floating piece.]

Where should I leave this?

S-slack tub.

Gotcha.

[And the piece flies there, falling inside the water with a soft splashing sound. He eyes Winry again.]

Something wrong?

[Besides that he's still floating, that is.]
