[ wow! the weekend happened!

but if bucky checks out the dojo, he will spot tsuru sitting against the wall of it. there is a chicken wandering around the room as well. ]

[ well. he just stands there watching for several quiet moments, before eventually: ]

So this is Bobchansan, huh.

The very one. She must be happy to be famous.

[ she has no opinion on the matter ]

Does she even know she's famous?

Probably not.

... but I do not want it to get it to her head.

[ he stares down at the chicken. he doubts there has ever been a single thought in that little head. ]

What're you doing with her here anyway? [ a dojo is not generally considered a bird's native habitat. ]

Oh, I came by to train. We're taking a break now.

[ the chicken was not training. ]

And the chicken's role in all this is...?

Oh, she was stuck in my room all weekend. I had to let her out.

[ this is the first rational thing he's heard out of tsuru's mouth ]

Well, at least she didn't have to see any of that.

It would be too much for her to handle.

[ this chicken has seen so much bloodshed ]

Although I guess it's a lot for most people.

Well, it's a good thing the chicken doesn't get compelled to go like the rest of us, then.

I feel like we would be in even more trouble of compulsions worked on people's pets...

You think they might be compelled to murder if that was the case?

[ he glances down at her ]

I think she'd be pretty formidable.

[ scrutinizes her for a minute ]

She doesn't look like a killer.

She is trying to change her ways.

[ okay, this actually gets him to snort in laughter a little ]

How's that going for her so far?

[ he leans in closer to the chicken, like he's listening to her. ]

Day by day.

[ why is he vibing with tsuru's chicken backstory so much more than tsuru himself ]

Yeah? Good for her.

Yes, hopefully once we are out of here she will continue her road to recovery.

Yeah well, murder hotels and the like have a way of setting you back.

Ha ha ha, they do, don't they?

Hopefully this experience will be less painful than everyone's last.

Not yours? [ way to make yourself sound detached from everyone else ]

Oh, mine too, yeah.

But it wouldn't mean anything if only I was fine at the end.

I guess not.

How are you so sure you'll be fine?

Because that is what I decided to believe.

That easy, huh?

Yes. It's that easy.

[ the chicken pecks at their shoes ]
