"Fascinating." It's entirely sincere. "And you have found yourself as mysteriously in this place as I have?"

halfemptyglasses: Mirai with wide eyes and a dropped jaw (this face is happening now)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Y-yes! This was supposed to be the train station, but- but I don't know what this place is! It's so unpleasant!"

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)

"It was also", he says dryly, "supposed to be my herbarium, in the year of our lord 1139. Perhaps we can find our feet together."

halfemptyglasses: Mirai with wide eyes and a dropped jaw (this face is happening now)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
".....1139? Y-you're not kidding, are you?!"

"Not in the slightest", he assures her. "Thus much you speak of isn't known to me - phones, cameras, train stations..."

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
She swears, if she went back in time, that would be the most unpleasant.

"It... It was the year 2012 when I left?"
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)

"Well, then." He looks around. "It seems best we learn the lie of the land, until we find our way home."

halfemptyglasses: Mirai looking neither happy nor sad (relatively neutral)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
She sighs a little.

"Y-you're right, sir," she agrees. And then, "Oh! Could... Could I still take a picture of your herbs?"
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)

"Of course." He holds them up for a better view. "Are you interested in these things?"

halfemptyglasses: Mirai looking pleased (the face she makes about bonsai)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
She clicks the camera app and snaps the picture.

"Oh yes. I write about plants all the time on my blog, and- and I keep bonsai."

She shows him the picture of the herbs.
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)

"Wonderfully clear", he says, approving. "What is 'bonsai', may I ask?"

He'll write off 'blog' as one of those things he won't understand.

halfemptyglasses: Mirai looking pleased (the face she makes about bonsai)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, they're small trees kept indoors in pots. Here."

She swipes to show him some of the pictures of her bonsai.
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)

"...trees in miniature." He leans in for a closer look. "I've never seen such a thing."

halfemptyglasses: Mirai smiling (the rare smile)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
She pulls the picture with her fingers, zooming in. "It's a very nice pastime. It's... It's probably not healing the same way your herbs are, but it.... It makes me feel less unpleasant."
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)

"That is as much healing as any for the body", he says with a slight smile. "Though I'm sorry to hear you need it."

halfemptyglasses: Mirai looking neither happy nor sad (relatively neutral)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
She waves her hand again. "Oh that- you don't have to be..."

In all honesty, if he's really from the time he says he is, she's surprised the term witch hasn't come up yet.
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)

He's a very enlightened monk, for the time, and he doesn't believe in witchcraft.

"It's rather what I do", he says gently.

halfemptyglasses: Mirai looking neither happy nor sad (relatively neutral)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sir..." she quietly replies, unsure what to make of that.

She tucks her phone away in her cardigan pocket. And then she remembers her manners and bows.

"Ah, thank you for letting me take a picture of your herbs! Is- is it all right if I post it on my blog? I can put your name on it if you'd like the credit."
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)

"No need for that", he says easily. "They're just herbs, like any other of their kind... but my name, since I haven't told you, is Brother Cadfael."

halfemptyglasses: partial picture of Mirai's face with her name below (Default)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Brother Cadfael?" she repeats. "Ah, my name is Kuriyama."
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)

"I'm very pleased to meet you, Kuriyama." He smiles.

halfemptyglasses: Mirai looking neither happy nor sad (relatively neutral)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
She holds her tongue from instinctively saying that was unpleasant, because he hasn't been unpleasant this entire time.

"Ah, I- I prefer Kuriyama-san. Or... Or I guess Miss Kuriyama? I'm guessing you aren't from Japan, and... and lack of title is... quite close."
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)

"Forgive me", he says immediately. "I've heard of Japan, but never had occasion to... go there... Kuriyama-san."

halfemptyglasses: partial picture of Mirai's face with her name below (Default)

[personal profile] halfemptyglasses 2014-09-28 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course! Y-you didn't know," she goes, waving her hand again. "And I've never been outside of Japan, s-so I'm not one to talk about anything else."
a_rare_benedictine: (Default)

[personal profile] a_rare_benedictine 2014-09-28 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)

"Would you tell me about Japan, then? I'd like to hear something of it."
