[whether he is near yachiru or not, he does pass shirley at some point. eyes closed, she sips her wine and makes a soft "hm" noise as he does. then:]

Have you more trouble sleeping?

[thenobledie]

Their origins are questionable, though, I'm afraid.

[not actually legend! not always right, either, because her memory is a little spotty as far as her life is concerned.]

[break_onthru]

Isn't every story's origin questionable?

[Where he comes from, historic record-keeping is kind of... lax. Or else written in code only a few people can read! Very inconvenient.]

[thenobledie]

[likewise, her world and history are...not good friends! but she chuckles.]

Quite true.

[break_onthru]

[They are in agreement on this! Break finds it oddly comforting. He's become accustomed to others having different cultural perspectives.]

The question is, will you only tell them to me if I can't sleep?

[thenobledie]

Perhaps. Are you so curious to want to listen at other times?

[break_onthru]

No, I'm curious as to when you would offer.

[He gives her a strange, secretive smile.]

[thenobledie]

[to which shirley only shrugs. which says more than he might think, but break is smart.]

[break_onthru]

[He's not terribly adept at discerning shrugs, but her silence alone speaks volumes.]

Ahhh... Ghost-san is a woman of many secrets, hmm?

[thenobledie]

[o right, blind.]

That is one way to phrase it.

[break_onthru]

[Yeah, just a minute little detail. PRACTICALLY NOTHING, he'd like everyone who knows about it to believe. (He's lying.)]

Aaaand how would you phrase it?

[thenobledie]

Ah, there are many ways I can.

[translation: but telling you is no fun!]

[break_onthru]

Hmm.

Perhaps I should be going, Ghost-san. Can't leave the little one alone for too long~!

[If they're going to talk in circles, he'd rather do it when he wasn't taking away from time with Yachiru. As intriguing as Shirley is, Yachiru is more important at the moment.]

[thenobledie]

Of course. Don't allow her to become lonely.

[and there is a little twinge in her heart as she says that, but that's not really relevant to circle-talking and biding break farewell.]

[break_onthru]

[That is his current mission. Break pauses for a moment, feeling a twinge in his heart himself.]

Perhaps we can continue telling stories another time.

[thenobledie]

Perhaps so.
