[Someone is leaning on a bar at She'ol, Nathan's club. It's before opening hours, so the lights are still on and some more or less - mostly less - dressed people can be seen walking by in the background.]

With crazy weekend over, guess we finally know who's actually here to stay again.

Setsuna, if you want to buy me a book, don't get one with half-naked men on the cover. It doesn't generally contain any classic literature. If you want to purchase something with nudity for me, I'd really go with a magazine.

Not that I need that, seeing how I work at a strip club. This goes out to everyone: Come by some time! First lap-dance is on the house.

[locked to Setsuna, Alexiel and Katou]

We're moving. Hatter's house. Mansion. Whatever. Start packing.

[July says nothing and doesn't even look up at Kira. In fact, it rather seems like he's ignoring him. However, he is watching him from the window, his Spirit there. Of course, neither of them can see it but that doesn't matter.

He can see them.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne would expect nothing else from him, although nir eyes watch Kira intently.]

His name is July.

[sympathyforme]

[Kira does look at the boy, beyond the physical and trying to look deeper. He notices something off about him, but isn't able to pinpoint it.]

And you want me to keep your toy here safe?

[through_glass]

[He stays perfectly still, only clearly alive because he breathes.]

[indecent_butterfly]

He is not a toy. [Ne knows what he means by it, but not this time. This one is not someone ne plans on playing with.] Even if a Doll.

[sympathyforme]

Of course he isn't.

I won't risk anyone's life or safety for it, but he's under protection.

[through_glass]

[Under protection. And not a toy. These are things he keeps in mind while he listens.]

[indecent_butterfly]

That should not be necessary. [The life or safety and ne wouldn't ask it anyway.

Ne smiles down at the boy, fingers running through his hair carefully before ne looks back up at Kira.]

Thank you.

Did you wish to see what we had spoke about? The seeing.

[sympathyforme]

[Kira gives a short nod to accept the thanks, then is about to leave before he hears Belial's offer.]

Yes. Show me.

[through_glass]

[For the first time since Kira stepped into the room, July moves. However, it's not to show him anything. Instead, he looks up and over at Hatter to wait to be told two things. 1. Is it okay? 2. What to do.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne had told him not to let anyone know before, although this was different. Now the question was just how to show Kira July's sight? It would involved too much to use the others.

There was a book of fairy tales on table near the couch which gave nem an idea. Ne hands the book to Kira.]

Go to the window and open the book to any page, there are several with drawings. July tell him what is on the page.

[sympathyforme]

[Kira takes the book into his hands, fanning through it as he walks through the window. He doesn't doubt that the boy can do as Belial says, but he is curious about how exactly this power works.]

Go on.

[through_glass]

[He waits until Kira is at the window with a page held up to it. Then he tilts his head as he proceeds to describe the drawing.]

A rests on a bed fast asleep. All around her is stone but the bedding is silk. She wears a blue dress and one hand rests on her stomach while the other is on the pillow, resting on the gold of her hair. There is blood on her finger.

In the distance is a figure of a person in stone. [He knows this story.]

Sleeping Beauty.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne already knows he's described the image properly without looking to Kira for confirmation.]

As long as there is glass around he can see. Any person or object. One is not certain if there is a distance limit or not.

[sympathyforme]

That could be useful. And he listens to you?

[through_glass]

[He's fallen silent again because he's used to being talked about rather than talked to.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Does he really think ne didn't realize that? The only thing is when ne learned it ne didn't know who he'd be useful to.]

Yes.
