[catchall] four
maybe this game i'll remember to post images
[well, eventually he'll have to make his way to their shared house-- after seeing his item listed on his profile, naturally he's been out looking for it. she's likely made it there first, with the time he spent collecting himself and inspecting other areas; along with her item in the house, there's half of a fox mask sitting there, broken right down the middle.
that's what shirasu goes for first, picking it up and tucking it somewhere in his ridiculous ninja outfit before he turns his attention to her, head slightly tilted as he looks her over.]
I suppose this is one way of finding where we're to stay. Your name is Four, isn't it?
[of course he's already done his best to learn names from those scrolls.]

[ It's true that Four likely arrives to their housing first. She seeks out her item as one of the first things she does. Her scroll calls it a claw, but it's her very video game weapon of choice that she equips over her left hand that goes with her very video game outfit. It makes her feel a little less defenseless, and in this strange new village, she wants all the security she can get.
While she expects everyone to go rifling through all the houses, looking for what's theirs, she doesn't expect Shirasu to come in the one minute she allows a fraction of her walls down. She freezes very noticeably, and it takes a solid moment before she nods. ]
Yes. My name is Four. Are we to share this space? Shirasu... Kinjou?
[ His name sounds foreign and a little uncertain coming from her. ]

You may simply call me Shirasu, if you find that easier.
[He doesn't seem to be judging the uncertainty, at least, and rather than settling in he just find a spot along the wall to lean, his arms folded in front of him. Especially with the way she'd frozen at first, he's uninclined to push into her personal space, and so he keeps a respectable distance.]
It seems we are, but if you are concerned about such things, the bed is yours. I can sleep elsewhere easily enough.

[ She relaxes a little more at that, but while his offer is gracious, she can't fully accept it without saying something first. ]
Are you sure that isn't too much to ask? If neither of us are originally from here, I don't want to claim it unnecessarily. [ She somehow folds her hands together even though she's wearing that bracer. ] But... I can't say I'd be comfortable sharing a bed with a strange man either.
[ On one hand, she doesn't want to be inconsiderate. On the other hand, her modesty is important. ]

This is not quite what I am used to back home, to begin with-- if you find it comfortable enough, then you may have it.
[It's not like he isn't used to sleeping on the floor-- really, it's not like he sleeps much at night anyway. Chances are good that if she wakes up in the night he's going to be awake or gone.]
And if there are any other concerns you have about sharing this space with a stranger, I don't mind hearing them out.

... Thank you. That's kind of you.
[ She looks down at her hands and wonders just how much she can say... how much she should say.
Her hesitation is clear. ]
I like to keep things neat and in order, and I do not know where you will choose to sleep, but... I must admit I have trouble sleeping and get nightmares from time to time. [ Time to time is any night she tries to sleep. She wakes up in a cold sweat, more often screaming than not. It'll be hard to miss, if he's ever around. ] I don't want to be disruptive, but...

I do not think you will have any troubles with things being kept in order; I was something of a housekeeper, at home. I have the same inclinations.
[they're going to have the cleanest house? it's going to work out great.
But that last mention makes his brow furrow a little in apparent concern, and he hums a soft, thoughtful note.]
It is not something I am unfamiliar with. You will not disrupt me too much, although-- should you find it too disruptive to your own sleep, I might be able to find a remedy or two for that, depending on what grows here.

[ This house will be spotless.
Her fingers tighten around each other, and she sucks in a breath before she can think about it. ]
It... shouldn't be that bad. It's been on and off for a while, but I should be able to manage it. Thank you for your concern.
[ She fidgets a little. ]
... Um. If there are any living habits that annoy you, I'll do my best to avoid them.

I can already tell that you are not loud, you do not seem inclined to laziness, and I will not have to pick up after you... so I believe we will be just fine.
[...It might be strange, living with someone and not having that noise, but then he wouldn't care for things to be too familiar.]
It is my hope that this won't be a concern, but should you have other troubles here, I am willing enough to assist.

[ She is far from sunny and much more of a cloudy person.
Four unlinks her fingers and nods. ]
I hope it will be a peaceful arrangement for as long as we are here. I would assist you, should you need it as well. I don't want this to be an unequal situation.

[ Sweets... She brightens a little at that, but she doesn't comment on it. ]
I can, but one of my sisters likes to complain about how my cooking isn't flavorful enough for her. It's not my fault that she dumps as much sugar, salt, and other spices into her food that she can. That's not how you should treat food.

[He definitely notes the way she brightens-- right, it'll likely be a good idea to make some later, then. He'll bear that in mind; for now, though, he nods in agreement.]
It certainly doesn't hurt to have flavor, but-- it's meant for nutrition above all else, isn't it?
[Therefore: you just put things that are good for you in there and the result is a decent meal, right.]

[At some point they're both going to cook and it's going to be Terrible, we have to make this happen-- but while he doesn't smile, he does look more approving at that. i have too many smiling icons unfortunately.]
Particularly in unknown situations like this one. There'll be no finding out more about it if we're in poor shape.
[Important topics. Speaking of those, though, he pauses a moment before asking-]
You mentioned your sisters; just how large is your family?

[ They're going to make the best Overcooked team ever. ]
Yes, we must keep up our strength for whatever we may have to face.
[ Who knows why they're kidnapped, and in the future of two whole days, who knows what stabilizing the universe really means? ]
I have five sisters.

[ Four's smile is wistful. ]
I don't know if I'd like for them to be here or not, if I'm honest. I miss them, but... while we were together when we were young, our goal led us to living apart. We're all in different countries.
[... ]
I do miss the times when we were all together. Sometimes, I wish we could go back to that time.

Perhaps once this is sorted out, you'll at least be able to see them again... even if it's a necessary circumstance for you all, I can imagine it must be hard to stay apart.
[Where her smile's wistful, his own expression is contemplative, perhaps slightly distant.]
Really, imagining is all I can do, though. I-- had no siblings when I was young. The family that took me in had two younger children, but I wasn't quite a child myself when we met.

Of a sort, perhaps.
[Family is family, is it...
He decides not to linger on that, shaking his head slightly-- and he also decides not to pry too much into her situation, not yet. It's still early.]
If nothing else, it's hard not to be attached if you've helped care for them.
