29 [Action]

[hotheadedidiot]

[Today's a beautiful day. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. And the pants were dead.

...And the Stahn is sleeping. Positioned under a tree on a hill, Stahn is sound asleep in the shade of the tree, apparently using the sheathed Dymlos as a pillow.

He's snoring softly. He appears to be pretty comfortable.

What will you do?]

[Too bad Emily doesn't know that swords can take notice. She leans back against the tree, closing her eyes blissfully. Anyone passing by would be sure that she's dead.]

[hotheadedidiot]

[The boy continues to sleep away, the warm rays of the sun filtering through the leaves of the tree.

However, there is a heavy sigh that is heaved. It seems to come from behind Emily, but... how could that be?]

[bouquetofbones.livejournal.com]

Hm?

[Emily glances to the side, mildly surprised. Did she accidentally wake the boy? ... He still seems to be sleeping.]

[hotheadedidiot]

A zombie... Most interesting.

[Where did that voice come from? Is the boy a ventriloquist? Or does he have a maggot in his head, just like Emily used to? He looks much too alive to have his skull infested...]

Hello?

[hotheadedidiot]

[Stahn's not smart enough to be a ventriloquist.]

...Hello.

[bouquetofbones.livejournal.com]

[She leans forward, trying to determine where the voice is coming from. It can't be her journal; that's closed shut.]

Where... are you?

[hotheadedidiot]

Underneath Stahn.

[Underneath Stahn? But, assuming this boy's name is Stahn, the only thing underneath him is...]

The sword?

[hotheadedidiot]

Mmh.

[bouquetofbones.livejournal.com]

[At that, she starts smiling gently.]

That's amazing. I've never seen a talking sword before.

[hotheadedidiot]

I've never encountered a zombie still capable of fully intelligent thought before, so I suppose we are even.

[bouquetofbones.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[She gives a soft giggle.]

Yes, that's true.

[hotheadedidiot]

What is your name?

[bouquetofbones.livejournal.com]

It's Emily. And you are?

[hotheadedidiot]

I am known as Dymlos.

[bouquetofbones.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Dymlos. For a weapon, you're actually very nice.
