Studying!

[demonicbookworm]

Who: Ruca and you!
Where: The park!
When: Afternoon
Style: anything you want
Status: Open!

Taking Gohan's advice, Ruca could be found today in the park... studying. Since staying all day in his room wouldn't be anything good.

So now, you could see the silver-haired boy sitting under the tree, books all around him and one in his hands. He was reading and not paying much attention to the world around him.

Well, at least this time he was not walking and reading at the same time!

Feel free to bother him.

_{[oh, don't worry. He'll wipe the books himself.]}

What do you mean by that?

_{[chased by a demon? Really?]}

[bufudine]

[Serph tends to describe anything that has obvious natural weapons as a demon; animals aren't exactly a common sight in his world. He takes a seat on the grassy ground.]

Have you swum in the ocean by the island before?

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca shakes his head.]}

No... I rarely come to the island actually.

_{[He's been there only to meet Raine...]}

[bufudine]

[So he wouldn't know...]

If you swim far enough, you will encounter a demon. It's fast, like a fish, and has rows of sharp teeth.

[A pause.]

...It seemed a bad idea to fight it in its territory.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca thinks about it for a moment.]}

Serph... are you sure it was a demon?

_{[and not a shark or something like that?]}

[bufudine]

[A shark is a type of demon, Ruca!!

Serph tilts his head.]

A demon is the closest approximation to what I saw. I'm not familiar with most animals.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Serph, not everything that can attack you is a demon or a monster.]}

...I think it would be safe to assume that it actually was some kind of animal.

[bufudine]

[You're right; humans can attack him, too! 8D

Serph thinks over that for a moment. It seemed much larger than an animal, but then again, the biggest animal he knows of is ... well. Amaterasu.]

Do you have an idea of what kind?

[Because he could look it up next time he's in the library.]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[oh Serph.]}

I think... maybe it was a shark?

_{[yeah... that was probably that.]}

[bufudine]

[A shark... Serph doesn't ask Ruca what it is; he imagines it would be easier just to find a picture from a library book.

He nods.]

Have you been well?

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca nods.]}

Yes... I've been well. What about you Serph...?

_{[he means other than being attacked by... whatever that actually was.]}

[bufudine]

The same.

[Massive hole in the second storey wall of his living quarters, no big deal!!

He gestures to the book Ruca had been reading before he disturbed him.]

What are you reading this time?

[He could read off the page but that would be rude.]
