[ How does a person respond to all this? He has no idea. But he has to say something because of all the damn effort she went to. Effort for him. It's sort of a foreign concept, if only because he prefers not to let people get close enough to start caring.

Consider it like a protection charm. They're more of a New Year's thing... but we blessed it to protect you for the whole year.

Yeah? Well that's real decent of you two. Now I can go do dangerous stunts and be covered, right?
[ Naturally, he's joking. ]
no subject
Seems to me like you're gonna be doing dangerous stunts no matter what, so sis and I have you covered!
[ she's joking too... maybe. ]
no subject
I just gotta keep the thing on me, huh? Is that how it works?
[ Not that he actually believes it works. ]
no subject
Yep. It'll protect you. We put our hearts and spirits into it!
[ so don't be so rude ]
no subject
Then I'll make sure to always keep it on me. Thanks again.
