trans_9 | Bendytimed to Shore Leave [Open]

Nanashi had spied Negi from across the beach, but what was that it better not be... Oh, it was. Nanashi stormed up to Negi and snatched the holo-cig right out of his mouth. "How dare you? Do you know what this does to your body, young mister? Hmm? It will destroy your precious lungs, inside out! Do you have a death wish! You must! First you offer yourself to a vampire because she is hungry of all things, and now I catch you smoking? You just love danger! And you are still young! Do you even have any idea how this is effecting your development? Do you have any idea how bad for you this is? And you will not be able to stop smoking either! All of these drugs are so addictive to you humans! You destroy your own bodies with a smile on your face!"

She wanted to smack some sense into the boy, but she knew better than that. He was just human, and she was pissed. Just a little to hard, and she could kill the child. These humans are just so delicate.

Katara had no idea what to expect back on Stacy, but popping into the Sensoriums, it was certainly not this. Nanashi was there, and so was Negi, who she'd been hoping to catch during their vacation but hadn't, and she seemed to be screaming at him. Katara rolled her eyes: this wasn't the first time that a girl had done this to Negi and was very likely not to be the last, so she decided to walk gingerly into this, see what was going on. Poor Negi didn't need to be screamed at.

"Your majesty," Katara said, then looked at Negi. "Um, Negi is a friend of mine, so if he's getting screamed at, I'd like to know why. See, I know that Negi's magic had a tendency to do weird things, so if that's the case, I'd like to speak in his defense."

When Nanashi had stormed up and snagged the holo-cig out of his lips, he just blinked through the tirade. That same goofy smile was still on his lips for the most part and it quirked in amusement at Nanashi's enraged state. Ah she did care!

And oh thanks Katara for sticking up for him too. That made things a whole lot better.

"It's not real," said Negi as the holo-cig winked out of existence. "It's holographic. I know I'm still too young to smoke but I also felt that it was the only way I could express myself at the moment."

He rubbed his head, chuckling slightly. "Sorry, I just had a REALLY great night and somewhere down the line, I felt like conjuring up one of these."

He flicked his fingers as another materialized, already lit.

Nanashi blinked. "W-" She caught herself before she stuttered 'what?' but she still looked surprised.

"So, it's not real?" Well, yes, that was what he just said. Nanashi was usually faster on the uptake.

She glared at Negi again when he mentioned his great night. "You did not have sex with a courtesan- or any other woman, did you?"

She had seen human, and even women sometimes, smoke from pipes before after a 'great night'. So, the cigarette was fake, but she was not sure if ruining his innocence with sex was worse.

"Nanashi!" Katara blurted out, turning red. She couldn't believe this conversation was happening. The very idea of sweet little Negi doing something like that!

"First of all, Negi, you shouldn't smoke okay? It's.." she turned and gave Chamo a We'll-talk-about-this-later mom look, "...bad for you."

She turned to Nanashi. "He didn't do that, but even I'm a little curious about the girl you spent that time with." She gave him a wink.

Chamo snickered even though he was glared at. "Ai Ai, anesan, both of ya. Aniki had a great night though, isn't that right aniki?"

"Oh it was swell," said Negi, still floating on cloud nine. "We went to a nice dinner even though it was kind of small portions, hit a hamburger joint for a drink and more food, and then we took a long walk down the beach and went to bed together..."

Keep digging that pit bigger Negi, it'll keep getting wider.

"Sasami-chan's really warm..."

THERE we go. And he raised the holo-cig to his lips.

Oh... My.
Nanashi was silent for a second, and then, "YOU DID WHAT?"

And Negi was up in the air, Nanashi holding him by his shoulders, attempting to gently shake him, and only being slightly successful.

Katara face palmed. She knew, KNEW, that Negi had not done what Nanashi thought he had. But if he was going to phrase it like that, she knew that he had to learn to talk more cautiously. What she was not going to do was let Negi take all of the heat for this.

Now she punted the ermine, not in an angry way but in a concentrated motherly irritated way. "If you wanted Negi not to get in trouble, you could have phrased that better. You're being perverted on purpose!"

Like Negi didn't have enough problems!

"I regret nothing!" exclaimed Chamo, flying along and making squeaky toy noises as he bounced.

"What?" asked Negi curiously as he was shaken. "Nanashi-sama, I would like it very much if you didn't shake me."

He looked down at Nanashi and asked, "So um... is sleeping together a big thing where you come from? Asuna-san and I sleep together all the time and so do you and I oneechan."

Nanashi slowly let him down. Well, you just managed to shock the vampire who thought she had seen everything.

And terrify her as well. "You- you sleep with..."

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

Maybe if Nanashi had not been so shocked by what Negi said, Katara's statement and punting of the small creature would have set in a bit more.

At this, Katara took notice. Last time, she had felt so awkward and vulnerable, caught in a stupidly compromising position with Negi and looking so guilty. Now however, she crossed her arms, keeping her feet in place.

"Honestly, you really should believe me when I told you the only person I want to be with is Aang! Negi is a ten year old magician who misses his sister. He sleeps in bed with me the way he would with his sister: fully clothed but feeling protected. Negi is like a younger brother. That is our relationship."

She looked at Negi now, her face curious. "You know, you're acting a little slower than I remember Negi. Your reactions are almost...delayed. Are you all right?"

Thank you Bene Gesserit observational skills.

"S'true. Oneechan and I sleep together. I get nightmares..." said Negi with a little shuffle to his feet like the kid he was.

He blinked at Katara's question. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He grinned though. "Though maybe it's the drink I had... Sasami-chan and I had some of that awesome fruit beverage at the restaurant... what was it called...? Oh yeah, Meelar Water!"

There was a long pause. And Chamo looked up in alarm. "Oh no..."

Negi was a cheap drunk. And he drank only a grand total of a couple of times.

He and Sasami FINISHED THE BOTTLE.

"I wonder why it was so fizzy and good? We didn't finish our sodas but we drank the alien soda..."

Yeah, sneaking away now. Run Chamo Run.

Okay, so he had meant Katara by 'oneesan', not his real sister, but a sort of surrogate. And it was acceptable if it was like how Katara had described.

But Nanashi's temper was still high, and even more worrisome, Negi was drunk. So that was the sour smell to him.

She moved so fast that it would have been impossible for these human eyes to track, raising her arm up and back-handing Negi across the face. It was hard enough that he would stumble, but she decided to not break his cheekbone.

Ciggarettes killed slowly, and sex destroyed innocence, but drinking, that was dangerous. it could kill you if you drank too much, and it lowered your inhibitions, making other mistakes more likely, and it kept you from being able to judge a dangerous situation.

And angering Nanashi was most definitely a dangerous situation. "You got drunk." Her voice was full of blood. Not a good sign.
