The quest of looking for her Mistress. Open for anyone.

[behaemmert.livejournal.com]

Vita, still dressed in a strange dress that actually was magical armor, was exploring the ship.

In other words, what looked like a kid with a weird fashion sense, armed only with a criquet mallet, was walking alone through possibly dangerous terrain. What could go wrong there?

To be more precise, she was actually not exploring, but looking for wherever Hayate was now. She knew her mistress was on the ship, after all.

"Oi, Hayate." She tried to send telepathically, through the link, though she wasn't sure if this would work here.
The ship sure was big...

"I guess that makes more sense than the idea that it was just born a talking mallet." It feels weird, talking about a conscious thing like it isn't even there. Not that the Yeerks didn't do that regularly, but Eva feels weird doing it herself. She wonders if the hammer's offended.

"Japan's a country in our world, yes. I wouldn't know what it's like, though. I've never been or given it much study."

Vita nodded at that.

Thankfully, the mallet's quite happy to be used as a weapon, and would say something if he wanted to. Eva should be rather happy she never witnessed several weapons, on opposing sides, complimenting each other for battle prowess. That tends to get somewhat drawn out not to mention having bad english.

"Well, at least I now know what world you're from. Though I only have been to Japan there. No surprise that you're...surprised by things like that."

"I'm sure my capacity for surprise is only going to last so long on this ship." She shrugs. "And there's no guaranteeing that your Japan was anything like our Japan, anyway. We have aliens, at least, and Atlanteans and time travel, so we're not completely boring."

"Hey, I didn't mean that badly, you know. I liked Japan!" She spurted out and gave Eva a glare. "I wouldn't badmouth Hayate's home country like that!"

Sure, that Japan hadn't had aliens (unless you counted all the Mid-Childan people) or Atlanteans, but well... she had liked playing croquet with the old geezers who, technically, had been younger than she was.

Eva backed up again, mouth twisting into a frown. "I was being dry. You don't have to keep assuming I'm trying to insult you."

After a pause, "Hayate?".

"Right." Vita said, too stubborn to apologize for the mistake. Instead, she coughed and looked sideways. Until Hayate was mentioned, which caused her face to light up - a much better topic to focus on.

"Hayate's my mistress! She's also on this ship, but I haven't found her yet. She's an amazing, gentle person, and we - my, err, family - owe her much. She's probably with the magical department."

Eva figures mistress probably doesn't mean the same thing to Vita as it does to her, and stifles the urge to make another wry remark. Vita and Eva don't seem to be quite on the same wavelength in terms of humor. "So she's your benefactor?"

"Not exactly!" Hayate replied. Her annoyance seemed to have vanished as quickly as it had come, which was somewhat usual for her, sadly. "You know how a knight has a master? For us Wolkenritter, Hayate's that master. Though she's also made us her family, too."
