[Rei is roaming the mansion looking for Bagheera. She's carrying a slightly modified communication device tied to a thick cord in one hand and what looks like a smoothie in the other.

Occasionally she stops and just leans on the wall or sits on the stairs, drinking her smoothie and looking around.

All tags are welcome.]

[As Minato headed out of his room, he saw Rei sitting at the stairs. He turned off his MP3 player before approaching her.]

... Rei?

[She looks up, straw still in her mouth. 'Sup.]

[Minato nodded to her, taking off his headphones now too.]

May I join you?

Yes. [She doesn't move over though. She doesn't really care if they take up the whole stairway.]

[Minato hadn't minded and Rei hadn't cared about this whole access to the stairs thing. No one was around for the time being anyway. He sat next to her then once she allowed it.]

Have you been all right? The last event was okay?

[He nodded.]

It was fine. I'm glad you're safe.

It is not difficult to survive.

It isn't. [In general.] Though some may think it isn't easy either.

[... How familiar. Minato nodded, looking up at the ceiling of the Mansion for a moment or two before looking back at her.]

Do you think it is?

[He smiled a little at that.]

... What changed?

[It takes her a minute to find the words to explain.]

People here.

[And somehow, they still aren't sufficient.]

Do you mean interactions with them? Or something like friendship?

[He nodded once, thinking he could understand that.]

That's its nature. It changes you. And also gives you strength when you need it most.

[A pause of sorts.]

Were you looking for someone before this?

Mn. To give him that? [He indicated toward the modified communication device.]

You're right. [That was a long pause considering what she had wanted to say.]

You did the modification?

[A nod, and then a pause.]

... Rei. Could I ask you for your help once more?
