The young Simulacra noticed the movement on the couch and was quite confident with his current position. "Thanks."
Ronin was polite after all, although some people didn't earn this effort. But this girl did, somehow.
"She's trying to get me in contact with other people...desperately. She doesn't understand that I already have a friend, since birth."
For a moment he was uncertain but slowly moved the shining dagger upwards so she could take a glance. "My name is Ronin and this is dagger."

Kerryn looked at the dagger before chuckling softly. "You to realize you are in contact with other people. I am an 'other person'." She looked around the room for a moment before commenting, "Nice dagger. I'm Kerryn."
She didn't know what to say to him, it wasn't exactly easy talking to someone you aren't supposed to know is there, and you can't see.

He had the intention to jump up and shout at the unknown girl, trying to tell her that he's not stupid and that he knows that he's talking.
But somehow Ronin just realized what she had meant and felt embarassed. Ouch, stupid sentence...
If he was already doing what Lena wanted, he could come out of his hiding place anyway. AND she had said that dagger was alright. Sounded...good ?
So he slowly revealed himself and moved his hand trough his brown unsteady hair, before sitting down on the couch far away from the girl. She had an interesting pendant. "What's this ?"

"What's what?" She asked him, she was far from a mindreader and she didn't want to have to put out the effort to make a stab in the dark about what he was speaking of.
She shifted on the couch to turn and face Ronin, who was at the opposite end of the couch, adjusting her belt and apron so they didn't bunch and become uncomfortable. She held the silence, green eyes flashing as she watched Ronin, not sure if she even wanted to have a conversation with him. He seemed ok, he had a dagger like Yeste'.. maybe he'd be ok, but he was a guy and that was already one strike against him.

Ronin blinked and called himself not precise enough for saying another sentence, which didn't fit. People were far too complicated and he felt the urge to run away, but Lena would find him and he had to be strong. The girl had saved him, his honour forbid the boy to go.
"Your..pedant." He pointed at it, without coming to close. "It's pretty. What is it for ?" Jewely without a purpose seemed senseless to him. Lena had this necklace from this shop...perhaps it was something like he was.

Kerryn registered the question, "Oh, it is the item I came from. Well, the key is anyways, Bri said before I showed up it didn't have a chain."
She thought about Yeste's dagger once more and asked, "Did you come from your dagger like Yeste' did?" The conversation was strained on her part, not having much to say to him, but he was better than sitting around by herself.

She didn't ask too much, which was good. He wasn't the great talker. As she lead the conversation to dagger he seemed to be content, but shook his head. "No, I came from a pale blue teapot with yellow flowers. It's in my room now."
His mind slowly worked as he recalled the informations she had just given. "Yeste has a dagger, too ? He has to be pretty cool !"

"Yeste' is female." Kerryn informed Ronin, "And she is going to let me join her training and teach me how to use a staff." Well, Sao was going to teaching them, but she didn't feel the need to include that.
A key.. A dagger.. A teapot. Hmm, it was amazing the objects they came from. She couldn't help but wonder what the next person she met would come fromt, or what Sarria or Kami came from. She didn't have a chance to ask them the last time she saw them.

"Oh."
It was one of those disappointed 'Oh's. A girl ? With a dagger ? This sounded very very unlikely, but he had to accept it. Right now he hadn't met any girls who seemed not stupid.
Indeed it was nice to hear that he wasn't the only one with a strange origin. So Ronin decided to feel not too disturbed. "Do you...have many friends here ?" His hands were playing with dagger and he had almost cut some cloth out of the couch, before he reminded himself that it wouldn't be nice to do so.

Kerryn's eyebrow raised again at the disappointed sounding sound Ronin made. As to the question about having many friends she shook her head, "No. Just Yeste'. She's the only one I'd consider a friend anyways."
A moment passed, and she was about to ask him 'What about you?' but her better judgement caught her. She already knew the answer. "I take it from the fact that your mom was trying to get you to interact with other people that you don't know many people or have many friends?" She winced slightly at how blunt her words sounded even to her own ears.

So they had the equal amount of friends. He had dagger...
As he listened to her words, Ronin felt a little bit strange because of two aspects. First of all nobody had called the Lena his mom before and second she seemed pretty intelligent and reasonable.
Ronin wanted to say something unfair too, but he sensed that she didn't mean it in a bad way. Not really. "Just..." Should he repeat himself by talker about dagger ?
"No. You're the first Simu I'm talking to beside Elijah and the...mom...said he's grown now. So no one I know." He shrugged.

"Elijah?" Kerryn questioned, "Thats a new name.." She murmured, storing it in the back of her mind with the rest of the names she had picked up through conversations with others.
"Simu?" She had never heard that word used in connection with her, and it was fairly obvious that she didn't know what he ment. Her vocabulary seemed to go downhill as she found herself asking one word questions.

"Lena said that's something like our lastname which means that we're all coming from items. It makes us...family ?" He pronounced the last word with disgust as his mother's voice disturbed the conversation.
"RONIN ! There you are, I told you to..." She blinked as she noticed what she had done and grinned. "I'm sorry darling, we need to go home now. It's late and your siblings are waiting for us."
The woman reached for her son's hand. "You're...ok." Ronin whispered and waved at Kerynn as they both left quickly. Lena had totally forgotten about Nobu, his brother, who still needed her help with some Jedi homework.

Kerryn waved to Ronin, "You're ok, too.. for a guy anyways." She told him as they left, lifting a hand in a wave.
"Bri?" Kerryn called, looking around for her. "I want to go now too."
"Alright." Bri called, from an unknown position, comming into the room moments later. "Come on." She smiled at her daughter and headed towards the stairs, heading down and out of the building with Kerryn in tow.
