THE SHOPPING TRIP

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Who: Shinn and Lion!
What: A shopping trip!
When: Afternoon
Where: Violet City!
Warning: Hilarity!


After arranging the meeting to happen sometime later in the afternoon, Shinn can be seen waiting for a certain someone in his rarely used set of Ace Trainer clothes, no thanks to Trisa's mishap earlier in the morning.

In any case, he seems to be early, as he's been fiddling with that Poke Gear of his for quite a while.

We lived on an island my Grandfather owned. He even had a huge mansion constructed for us to live in...

I still think it was a little too big considering how few people we were, but I suppose that would've been fixed with time.

[When Lion married and the house got filled with tiny murderous Ushiromiyas xD]

....certainly beats the military barracks, that's for sure.

[isthedeadcat]

I'm certain it does... We lived quite comfortably, even if going to school was a bit of a hassle.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

The school is in the mainland or something?

[sifts through a bunch of Potion-types.]

[isthedeadcat]

It's on the next island, actually. The mainland is a few hours further.

Must've been a hassle getting to school on time.

[At least he lived on a dorm during military school.]

[isthedeadcat]

Discipline was important to make sure that we arrived on time. How about you, Shinn-san?

What kind of place did you live in before coming here?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Well, its nothing special, besides the living in space thing.

[isthedeadcat]

That may not be special for you, but it does sound quite special to me.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Really, its just like living on Earth most of the time.

[...though.]

I used to live on Earth once.

[isthedeadcat]

I suppose it space would be as normal for you as living in 1986 was for me. [Lion chuckles a bit, the "was" is probably more fitting than it should be.]

Was the change too big when you moved to space...?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Not really, but it was just odd, I guess.

[Coping with having no family sucks like that.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Oh, oh, Lion can totally relate xD]

I can imagine it was.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

So, who exactly do you live with back home?

[isthedeadcat]

I lived with my grandfather, mother and father and a younger sister... There were also a few servants living in the house.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...huh, must've been quite nice.

[Shinn's face looks a bit sad right there.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion looks a little at Shinn before talking.]

Are you all right...?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah, just fine.

[He will talk about the subject if Lion wishes to, though!

[isthedeadcat]

Did anything happen to your own family...? [That is asked very very carefully, as Lion doesn't want to make him uncomfortable. Just to make sure, Lion also adds.] You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...yeah, they died during the First Bloody Valentines War.

[Such was the bloodiness of wars.]

[isthedeadcat]

I'm really sorry to hear that...

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

No, its okay, I have accepted their fate and moved on with my life.

[After the Second Bloody Valentine War.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Of course, you couldn't expect it to be easy xD]

It's really difficult to find the strength to move on... But living in the past can only hurt us more and more.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

[After a lot of things during the war, Shinn moved on only after Athrun kinda schooled him in the final battle.]

...Right, these should be enough supplies for the trip.

[Holding a basket of Potions and misc. Recovery Items. Also diverting the subject.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Al right, got it xD]

Hopefully there won't be need for most of these things...
