[So has anyone been keeping an eye on the little garden on the sunny side of the apartment building? It's actually... progressing, and quite a bit as of late. Some colorful flowers are scattered about along with... peas? Yes, those look like pea pods, and maybe a row of carrots. Know what to look for and you might even spot a small patch of what will probably be potatoes. Overall, the plants are kind of sad looking, all with a sort of half-wilted look to them. Nothing particularly amazing... or even vaguely impressive by normal standards, but considering the main caregiver (a.k.a. the person who stands outside and stares at it the most) is an eleven-year-old boy working with stolen seeds in what might as well be a wasteland? It's doing fairly well.

Small dirt formations are standing guard all along the edges of the small garden reminiscent of the little sculptures that Alma's attempted in the past, and that's where the boy is today. He's prodding slowly at a lump of mud, Mr. Bats fluttering almost lazily by one shoulder. Alma smiles at the camera once he's sure it's on, waving muddy fingers.]

The plants are growing. I'm not really sure when they're supposed to be done... Does anybody know?

Oh, and I wanted to ask... [He rubs at the back of his neck awkwardly, smearing mud over himself by accident.] Um, Lavi? Or... Mister General? Do you think I could learn to speak Russian?

[Ugh stop. Stop with the cute. Before he throws up a little.]

It's no problem at all.

[...You need more time away from Yuu too, how annoying.]

[ALL THE SMILES. For you, Cross.]

You taught Allen to be an exorcist too, right? That's what he said.

[GOD. FUCKING. DAMN IT.]

He was my apprentice for nearly five years, yes.

Can you tell me about it some time?

Some day. It's a long story... And it's not one I tell freely.

[Blink... nodnod. There's something about cross that makes him hard to argue with.]

[Is it the fact he's imposing and ever so smooth? He's the original Old Spice man which... He smelled some of that stuff and he has no idea why women would want their man to smell like that.]

First lesson will be a week from today. I'll need to gather a few things for you.

[There's a sense of authority there. Almost like Doctor Epstein, but less strict. At least from Alma's point of view.]

Okay! Just tell me when I should meet you!

[Ugh that one. What an annoyance.]

Might as well use the school.

That makes sense.

[... So. Excited. There is bouncing happening, man.]

[Oh dear god, not the bouncing.]

So, a week from today, at noon. I will meet you outside the school.

[Alma's first day of school! Be sure mama Yuu walks you to your first day.]

Okay! I'll make sure to be there!

[Mama Yu... is probably not going to be happy about this. |D]

Good. I don't like tardy people so be on time.

[Oh well. Since when is Mama Yuu happy about anything?]

I will!

[... Good point.]
