Second Stanza: [Locked from hostiles] Suddenly unemployed

[eclipsedonmyoji]

Um...

Keiji...?

Is that offer for a job still open? My place of employment kind of... burned down.

Anna? Your partner?

[eclipsedonmyoji.livejournal.com]

Mhm. She... kind of reminds me of my manager from back home. Or at least she sounds like her. She's quite a bit colder than Ilyana ever was.

Ah, that's a common theme. Partners are either ones you get along with instantly or you've got major friction or they're similar to people back home.

I got lucky and got Nya-chan from an egg. I pretty much raised her.

[eclipsedonmyoji.livejournal.com]

That is lucky.

I'm not completely sure, but I have a feeling that Ilyana may have been more like this before she found most of us. Her brother often says she was a much more closed off person, and when the band first started most people were terrified of her.

*chuckles a little* She's barely five-foot-three and she struck fear in to the hearts of everyone, even grown men twice her size.

Ah, that's an impressive type of woman.

But I'm sure you can make headway with your partner. Sometimes I think what one gets in a partner is what one needs.

I've tried to keep an open mind about it so far. It's been a bit... hit and miss. But I have no intents of giving up on her just because we can't always agree and she's a little abrasive.

Sometimes people need that to get what they need. If that's the way, getting Nya-chan fits the idea.

So I'm sure you'll be a better person because of her eventually.

[eclipsedonmyoji.livejournal.com]

Mm... you're probably right.

[lotsoftitles.livejournal.com]

Well, it would happen that way if this was a show. Which some of us apparently are.
