Yotsuba!&..

[sunflowerfairy]

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai and you!
Setting: The nineteenth floor on June 19th.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: After getting a note from Enoch, Yotsuba decides to search the library for more treasure: information about 'romeance'.
Warnings: None so far!

Yotsuba was always happy to get mail, especially from good friends..but her recent letter inspired her to search the library, since it seemed like it was a huuge beach where seashells and other cool things hid. So, after putting the letter in her pocket, Yotsuba ran down the stairs, careful to avoid any monsters she saw. While she was wearing her sling and sash-pouch, it was still best to avoid any trouble. When she saw the first elevator she found, she pressed the call button and waited, singing to herself to pass the time.

When she finally got onto the elevator, arrived at the meadow, and dashed into the nineteenth floor, her eyes got wide, and she couldn't help but cry out to herself. "There are a lot of gems here! They're really colurful!" Nonfiction books, of course, still looked quite nice, especially to a young child. While Yotsuba was looking for a book to explain 'romentic love', she wasn't the best reader, which resulted in her pulling the first book she found off the shelf and expecting it to have all the answers..when it was just a thin book on psychology.

As Yotsuba tried to read it, her face scrunched up a she tried to make sense of what she was reading. "F..Fruied was..de..deflunked by modern.." After trying to say 'psychologists' and not getting it, Yotsuba glared at the words, as if they were the ones responsible for not having what she was looking for. "That doesn't sound nice!! This isn't a good gem!" Yotsuba closed the book and put it back on the shelf-not in the same spot she had found it in-and kept wandering around, hoping she could find something about what she was looking for.

Well..hopefully it won't. The problem with eventually is that eventually could be a long time..or not.

Yotsuba watched as Lucifel held up his left hand and flicked his fingers. Sadly, while she didn't quite notice that time froze or see what happened while it was, she did notice that he now, suddenly, had a book in his hand for her. Not that it scared her. Far from it, she was actually rather excited and curious as she tried to take the book from him.

"Thank you! That was awesome! What did you do? How did you get it so fast?"

[brbtalkingtogod]

One could only hope that their efforts won't be for nothing.

Yotsuba could have the book and be happy with it, it might have been just the blink of an eye of her but he had to look for it for a while.

"It was nothing. And that just now was the trick I mentioned."

[sunflowerfairy]

Not that Yotsuba would have ever known how long it would have taken, since she was ignorant about what these shelves held.

But..that explanation wasn't enough for her, sadly. "It was something! How did you do it?!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

Then she should be prepared for an explanation that's just typical for him. Not that she could know that.

"Where is the fun if I tell you how the trick works?"

[sunflowerfairy]

"..In doing the trick?"

This was..a bit of a downer, and her smile fell as she spoke.

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Sure, but if you knew how it worked, wouldn't you think it's boring?" That aside, even if he told her, Yotsuba would more than likely not understand it. And not be able to do the 'trick' as well.

[sunflowerfairy]

Well, since she was human, she wouldn't be able to freeze time..but even though she probably wouldn't understand the trick, that didn't mean that she wouldn't try to understand.

"No! It would still be awesome, and Yotsuba could do it too!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"No, Yotsuba can't do the trick even if I told her. It's something only I can do. A special power you see."

Perhaps in some other world there would be a person with similar abilities as his own, but for the moment it would serve as a good explanation.

[sunflowerfairy]

For the moment, it would, especially since she was having a bit of a hard time connected the dots between what Enoch had told her and what she was finding out here.

"Yotsuba doesn't see..how come only you can do it?"

[brbtalkingtogod]

And how wrong he was. Which means that he would have to go into detail. It's actually been a while since he has to explain so much.

"Because I was created with them. I'm not human."

[sunflowerfairy]

And Yotsuba would look quite puzzled as she thought about what Lucifel could be. He couldn't be a robot, since he wasn't made out of metal..well..to be honest, they were all robots here, but before coming here, he wasn't a robot. But..oh!

"Oh! Are..you an Angel then?! Enoch said that he lived in Heaven for awhile!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Yes, I'm an archangel." He is aware that he will end up having to explain the difference between an angel and an archangel but there was worse.

[sunflowerfairy]

"Archangel? Do you build arches in Heaven?"

Yotsuba..no.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Okay, now he can't help but laugh. "No, I don't build arches. There is a ranking among angels, the rank of an archangel being one of the higher ones."

Then again, Lucifel was sometimes called a seraph... but that would just add even more confusion. "But that ranking doesn't mean that one is better than the other."

[sunflowerfairy]

While Yotsuba had never heard the word 'ranking' before, it sounded like how a company president might be higher than some workers, so she got the gist of it.

"How come? If you're a higher ranking, you can do more, right?"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Of course I can do more, but I had told you that I'm supporting Enoch, right? That's my current job. I have to help him the best I can."

[sunflowerfairy]

"That is an im..important job! He won't be able to help Daddy and the others without some help."

Sadly, Yotsuba didn't know much about Enoch's story and thought that Lucifel's current job was to support Enoch here.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Which is true in a way, since this Enoch's journey isn't over, so Lucifel is going to continue supporting the best he could. Not that he wouldn't have continued doing so.

"Yotsuba is right about that." And her research about romans seems to be forgotten completely.

[sunflowerfairy]

It hadn't been forgotten..just put off to the side when other issues came up. However, now that it seemed that they were cleared up, Yotsuba nodded and opened up her book, hoping to find a definition of romeance somewhere in there.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Now to see if Yotsuba would understand the definition of romance that's given in this book.

[sunflowerfairy]

As Yotsuba started to look at the book, she saw an explanation of love..but nothing about romeance.

"I know what love is..but this book doesn't men...menshan romeance. It's not a good gem either!"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"Ah, doesn't Yotsuba know? Love and romance belong together." Then again Lucifel probably isn't the best to ask when it comes to romance. he understands the concept but he never experienced it.

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba might understand the concept of romance, but she was a bit young to be experiencing it.

"But they're two different words! Yotsuba knows what love is..but why do they belong together?"

[brbtalkingtogod]

"True, the words are different. But... hmm." Okay this one was really hard to explain.

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba just closed the book as she waited for Lucifel to explain this one to her. He was a grown-up, so he should know this, since grown-ups knew a lot!
