No Regrets (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

[Jikkah]

"Otou-sama can make them like he made this ones hand!" She held up her hand to prove her point.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He looked up, thoughtful, "I guess you're right, I could try it.."

 

[Jikkah]

She grinned happily at Szayel, laying back on the mattress.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Don't get your hopes up, though, I doubt it'll be any good.." He muttered

 

[Jikkah]

"Chicken is good, but scrawny man with the eyepatch makes it better." She said, tugging at her short hair.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"So I hear.." He remarked

 

[Jikkah]

"Why can't Otou-sama make chicken taste good?" She kept on pestering him with questions, bouncing her leg out of boredom.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I'm a man of science, not magic." He answered

 

[Jikkah]

"Can this one try to make chicken?" She asked, staring him down with large eyes.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"You aren't allowed to leave for a while." He told her, "This is the second time I've let you out that something has happened to you that I had to repair."

 

[Jikkah]

38x2 puffed out her cheeks. "He started it." She grumbled.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Well, I'm finishing it." He stated

 

[Jikkah]

"Tou-sama... Where's Kaa-sama?" She asked softly, a frown on her face.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"You don't have one." He answered simply

 

[Jikkah]

"But you can't make a baby without a man and a woman..!" She protested.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Who told you that?" He asked, "Clearly they're wrong."

 

[Jikkah]

"Well..." She rubbed the side of her head. "I read it in one of your books..."

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Books?" He repeated, looking to her, "Wait, you were reading?"

 

[Jikkah]

She looked nervous. "Should... This one not have read Otou-sama's books?"

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I'm surprised you have the mental capacity to even do so right now!" He said, amazed

 

[Jikkah]

"Well, this one doesn't understand a lot of the words... But some words she can!" She said proudly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Szayel looked a little disappointed, "What a shame.."

 

[Jikkah]

She didn't really seem to understand his disappointment, so she just sat grinning happily in her cage.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He shook his head and went back to work.

 

[Jikkah]

38x2 was locked in her cage for two weeks, and when she was finally let out, she was beyond excited to go out into the halls again. "This one can go walking now?" She asked, bouncing up and down, in a fresh experiment gown.
