Fuda # 15 | [House 49 - action/voice] Backdated to before Link and Sheik got drafted, I guess.

[idealism]

[Tsuzuki's talking to someone off camera, oblivious that he's transmitting their conversation to the whole town. He sounds upset.]

What do you mean 'Link's moving out'? Can't we at least talk about this?

That's right, you're technically underage! [He teases him easily, trying to avoid the subject.]

I know! Hijiri teases me and called me grampa because of it, though.

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link pulls a face, but he's not dropping the subject that easily.] Huh... must grandpas are really old and have beards, though. [He thinks.] You just look normal.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You'd never guess I was born in 1900, huh?

[blessedbyfarore]

Not really, because I don't know when that was. [He grins a little sheepishly.] How old does that make you?

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Uh, I stopped keeping count after I reached seventy. Then it became depressing.

[blessedbyfarore]

Wow! You don't look that old at all!

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's probably all those preservatives in the candy I wolf down. They're finally's paying off!

...Or maybe it comes with the job. My back still hurt's like an old man's, though.

[blessedbyfarore]

My shoulders hurt a bit if I fight for too long... what is your work, anyway?

[Fighting demons, wasn't it? But then, how did that make Tsuzuki look young... and there's still those enigmatic hints that Hisoka had given him on his birthday.]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Really? I could probably give them a rub if you get too tense.

My work is kind of complicated.

[blessedbyfarore]

Ah, it's okay. I don't fight as much here... and we've got time. All I have to do is pack up. [Whoa. Sudden tinge of bitterness.]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

My shoulders get tense, anyway. I can help. [He's still unhappy about Link having to move.]

Uhm. What was it you wanted to know about it?

[blessedbyfarore]

[Yeah, he's not the only one. Even if he is doing this to keep the peace.]

I don't know... anything. What you did... why you look like that. Is it magic? [Peeeer. Strange that his friend doesn't act like an old man.]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Some of it was magic, yes. But mostly it was just a means to protect people.

[He smiles weakly, and a little sadly.] Look like what? I've always looked like this. It's a part of the agreement.

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link is curious, but he's not totally insensitive - the sad smile has definitely warned him to step carefully.]

Oh... I guess working there make you stop getting old? It'd be hard to run around fighting monsters if you look like an old man.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's why Hisoka is still short, too. We stopped aging after we were recruited. But looking like an old man doesn't stop people from being powerful. My Chief is old!

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... I guess that is kinda handy! [He grins a little at the mention of Hisoka being short - at least he's not the shortest one in the house, though.] He is really short, huh? I think he's about the same height as Princess Zelda, and she's a girl.


((OOC: Yes. Zelda is taller than Sheik XD I have the screencaps to prove it :3 ))
