The Midnight Prince

[Shisou]

"oh, wow, that's super cool," she exclaims.

[Rokag]

Okay, THAT hadn't been expected, which was plain from the shocked face Rokag had. "W-wait, what? I....huh?! How....do you think that's cool? Isn't that shit that would get you arrested?!"

[Shisou]

"Probably, but so is being a vigilante hero."

[Rokag]

"That's..." Rokag sighed a little. "Fair, I guess. Just...I don't have a name and I'm from the shore. I know you've been nice to me so far, but...people have limits to what they'll deal with. Even heroes that turn into cute girls."

[Shisou]

"You'll have a name soon. And... and wherever you're from, you belong here. With me."

[Rokag]

Rokag blushes. "I-I'm still fucking pissed at you for getting all beat up...but thanks." She couldn't help but smile a little. "Being okay with me being an orphan street kid doesn't mean you get out of acting like your fucking fine when you're beat to shit, alright?" She took a long breath, as she was sure that telling Shisou to change back now wouldn't be helpful. "And I think you stuttering isn't something...I mean it's not something that just happens with you being a boy." Rokag frowned a little. "I think it has to do with the same thing as your dad."

[Shisou]

She winces a little. "Maybe," she says quietly. "Is it really important?"

[Rokag]

"I...feel like it is?" Rokag sighs. "At least so I can figure out if the Eels had to do with THAT as well."

[Shisou]

"Why does it matter?"

[Rokag]

"Of course it is! For one, it gives you more knowledge than Indou thinks you have and that can help a lot of things." Not to mention it might be why you're stuttering, but fucking I know why it's do that. Rokag moved a little closer to her. "It would mean....knowing the whole truth, so you don't feel like you might make the wrong decision later."

[Shisou]

"I mean, either they're involved or they're not, we can't do anything about it now."

[Rokag]

"Well...fuck, it just Feels important. Like if they did have something to do with it, then at least we'll know how much shit we're in for. He could just have...wait, why IS he married to your mom? If no one likes him, then how did THAT happen?" Rokag frowns. "See, this is what I mean. I can't figure out if I should do anything because I don't really know what happened. So knowing that you were there and don't remember just make sit feel even more important to know, if only because Indou probably wouldn't want anyone to."

[Shisou]

"The marriage was, um... political," she says, delicately. 

[Rokag]

"....so, what do you mean? That guy can't be from another island, is he?"

[Shisou]

"We... there were... debts. Massive debts."
