*climbs onto his four-poster, turns pages until the journal tells him it has reached the latest entry, and scratches out the ~Will Be Back Soon~ note with a lot of ink*

I am back.


*feeling several irregularly parcels on his counterpane* What... more presents?


[[Rukia? Thank you for the... uh... thing to put stuff in wallet. And I like the book... it has an interesting voice.]]

[[Syaoran... this book has a lot of magic in it. I am grateful.]]

[[Vivi -- is this quill from your owl? It is soft.]]

Relax! It won't hurt you.

*Picks the crab and puts it in Jei's hand* It's a crab.

One of the professors gave crabs to everyone. I have one too. Its on my hand now. Looking at you,I guess.

*wrinkles brow, distrustful -- not quite knowing how to say that he would prefer to be warned before having an unknown creature on his shoulder*

*feeling the crab carefully, his hands stopping short every time it moves, not reassured at all to learn that there's another one in the room* How do you know? Maybe it's the kind that pinches!

*Raises an eyebro at this. Really,the kid needs to learn how to relax*

Every crab is the kind that pinches. The trick is not to do anything that annoys them.

For instance,Kani (that's my crab) won't pinch me if I'm stroking its head...or what I think is its head.

*Moves one finger and gently strokes her crab. Its eyestalks moving all the time*

Here,I'll show you. *Gently grabs Jei's hand puts his finger on his crab's head.*

*was listening for her movement this time and doesn't flinch, but his hand is very still as he lets it be guided to the crab's shell*

*carefully pets its head, feeling the eyestalks move*

*tilts his head a bit toward Rukia, as if to say Is this the way? as it slowly dawns on him that this crab is his to keep*

*Smiles as she is watching this*

Great. I think it likes you.

You're going to name it?

*small smile, getting used to the crab moving around*

What color is it?

[In person]

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

It's white,the same as mine and everyone else's.

That could be a good name.

"White"?

*running a finger across the pale shell that he cannot see*

I like it.

[In person]

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

I like as well.

I named mine Kani as you already know. It means "crab" in Japanese.

I guess we can be unoriginal together!

*teasing* Speak for yourself. Who else would name a crab White?

*lets it roam off his arm, listens to the two crabs clacking their way about*

..Can they hear? Do they learn their names? *realizes how little he really knows about crabs*

Gasp! Did you just tease me? Oh my,they're growing so fast! *ruffles his hair as she laughes*

No idea. But being Professor Dalma's crabs...you never know.

*scowls at being ruffled, but is secretly pleased*

I suppose we'll find out?
