[What's up, North. He does frequent the library on his own sometimes, but he definitely trailed after her to end up here today-- wherever she happens to be in there, after a few minutes she'll be joined by a ninja, just going ahead and taking a seat.]
I suppose we ought to be thanking you for your assistance, today.
[But also, like. That's not what he's here for.]
Where did those swords come from-- the war effort?
[HEY, SHIRASU... North lifts an eyebrow when he casually takes a seat, but otherwise doesn't seem too alarmed. She closes the book she was reading, which seems to be a medical textbook, before putting it down next to her.]
They belonged to a family I served. More of an heirloom, considering their condition-- but as you saw, they possessed the ability to separate something like the corruption from its vessel.
[He leans back in his seat a bit, there, arms folded.]
Considering the items that Akane-chan and I found at the gateway... it seems they're all coming from a similar place.
[And it's been uncomfortable as hell this entire week.
He shrugs, though-]
Consider it an explanation for why I needed to know. I was unsure if she and I found those because I was there, or if it was the case for more of those items.
[The thought of others here having those things is... still strange, but as long as those things aren't his own belongings, it's probably fine.
I believe so. I don't understand what was so important about the baseball, myself, but we did face a small army of very strangely armored men for it... the darkness left them after they were defeated.
[his brow furrows there, though.]
I'm unsure what the purpose of the large... forked structure was, but evidently a failure in their defenses meant certain defeat for them.
[HI, SHIRASU. Hope house arrest isn't getting too tedious, because he's getting one (1) visitor on this lovely morning. Which is to say— North will be giving him a cursory glance once she enters the house, sizing up his current state.]
... I see the others were able to restrain themselves long enough to let you live another week. [Well. So far.] Congrats.
So it seems. Unexpected, but not entirely unwelcome.
[He's not sure he trusts it, but, well. Hard to complain about surviving. A tuxedo cat watches her curiously from his lap, and a second pair of mismatched eyes watches from beneath the bed.]
Did you want something?
[There's really not much reason for her to be here otherwise, he's fairly sure.]

Something like that. Naminé and I were brought to the gateway again on Friday, and that's where we found them. Why?
no subject
[A pause, there, as he takes a moment to consider.]
It was a bit of a surprise to see them, is all-- though it's a good thing they kept the same capability here.
no subject
[Well, then.]
I take it you're familiar with them.

[That is, home.]
no subject
[Interesting... She can't imagine what it must be like to get a taste of home, while knowing you're still chained to this place.]
Well... I'm sure you wouldn't be telling me any of this unless you wanted something from me. So, what is it?

Probably.]
w3, tuesday.
Let me guess— The darkness?
no subject
[North may be straight to the point, but he'll be polite anyway, giving her a little nod. He still has the football.]
That's correct. We found ourselves in another place where it seemed to be causing trouble.
no subject
[Sq...uints...... at the football while gesturing at it.]
Is that your reward for getting out in one piece?
no subject

[If she's at all bothered by the cat, she doesn't comment on it. Live your best life before your owner maybe gets murdered by a sword, cat.]
You obviously didn't plan to live this long after the previous trial. So what are your plans now?
no subject
[A vague wave of a hand, there. Having two broken legs and no weapon won't stop him from trying to fight back.]
Well. I can at least make the attempt. I don't relish the thought of simply letting someone end my life.
