23rd sigh

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(... It's odd. Definitely odd. Here I am, performing the same menial tasks she always assigns me, yet... The anger, the frustration, the need to shout "Dammit Haruhi, why don't you get someone else to do your dirty work!?" isn't there. On the one hand, it's somewhat nice not feeling all the usual stress, maybe I've finally just resigned myself... On the other hand, I pretty much resigned myself a while back and it really didn't help much. ... Darn it, why am I over-thinking this? Well, back to work.)

[Today, you may find Kyon either:

A) Out and about town before Haruhi gives him some stupid task.
B) Out and about handling the usual stupid tasks Haruhi gives him.]

I am simply noting some patterns that a concerned friend might notice, in your erratic behavior [you moron]. I know your tolerance for impositions is extremely high, but it is decidedly out of proportion. Even when I last saw you again in our world, the signs were decidedly clear of this decidedly deluded state- I tested you both.

And incidentally, Hirai appears to be somewhere around thirteen years old. In case you hadn't noticed, no one has even informed her of the details of reproduction yet. Quite aside from any other considerations in the matter, there's a questionable status to that.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

She's small for her age. She's in the same grade as we are.

Despite that, the appearances are unpleasant and the implications are worse.

I didn't know your situation was so desperate as this, Kyon.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Since when did you have such an investment in my love life anyway?

[cramschoolgod.livejournal.com]

Since when have you had anything for me to be invested in?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

True, but I still don't see why you're so concerned about it.

[cramschoolgod.livejournal.com]

Someone has to keep you out of trouble, and who better than a close friend?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Thanks for the concern, but I'm fine without it?

[cramschoolgod.livejournal.com]

I highly doubt that. When was the last time you were 'fine' without needing to rely on anyone else's help?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'm quite fine with most things that don't somehow have Haruhi at their root.

[Her voice rises a little.]

Very well, Kyon, it's your personal right to exercise as little intelligence as you please.

[And she turns to leave.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Geez, you seem a little worked up about this.

[Without turning around again:]

Don't be ridiculous. Goodbye, then.
