"Certain death and misuse? Orochimaru is actually very friendly. You all say he is a mean and cruel man, but I can not believe that, Reeve. He has been nothing but kind." She slowly got to her feet, staring down at Reeve.
"Why were you following me that night then? Did you really honestly want to go to Orochimaru's place? They think of you all as enemies, Reeve." She sighed, looking away. "I tried to stop you, but you never listen to me..."

Reeve rolls his eyes expressively. Either he's too tired or he just doesn't bother to look directly at her.
"Look around you. Did I go to him? I'll admit I had a moment of weakness- I get those a lot- but I didn't follow it through like you. Of course Orochimaru's nice to you- do you think he wants you to know what we know? For a ninja, you've got a lot of work to do on getting the big picture."

"There's no picture to be had, Reeve. I can't see what you all hate about him, or anyone there. The only one I am wary about now is Nekojiri." She said, narrowing her eyes. She could not get any of his actions that night out of her head.
"I know he's doing something horrible, Reeve. I can feel that in my gut. But Orochimaru gave me the power Nekojiri refused to give me, and I owe him my life."

"I never said I completely agree with Nekojiri," either, Reeve says, leaning back to look at the ceiling. "Is that power worth unending servitude?"

"Orochimaru has not done anything bad, Reeve!" Alice growled at him. "He even said that I am free to go if I want. He gave me the choice to train under him."

"Then you've been lying to me, making it out like you have to stay- No. Know what? Forget it. Just go."
Reeve shakes his head and sighs, closing his eyes as he looks up.

"I... Reeve..." Alice hesitated, then looked down. He always seemed to act so quickly without thinking too much into the situation, then throw a hissy fit when he found it hard for him to win. It was a little annoying. She sighed, and quietly left the dojo, pocketing her hands as she headed towards the forest.

Alice's narrator/owner/player/whatever has a tendancy to take cheap, narrated shots at other people, to which they cannot usually reply or respond because it's narration, and it drives Reeve's narrator/owner/player/whatever up the gorram wall. Reeve, however, doesn't know and can't know this, and only tries his hardest to keep from chasing her down again by staying seated, pretending he doesn't care.

Nami felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. For once in what seemed like an eternity, the twins had been content to fall asleep without fuss.
As she took a quick glance at herself in the mirror, she fumbled around for a clean shirt, finally settling on one of her short, summer yukata's. Instead of the usual thick belt, she grabbed a smaller, satin one from a bathrobe and used that to tie the light fabric closed before shaking her hair loose and re-assembling in it a long braid.
Tip-toeing from the room, she headed downstairs.

Clow, seemingly not making it to the bed upstairs or a couch, managed to find himself laying on the floor between the main room and kitchen, staring up at the ceiling. He was tired...but mainly because he was bored.

Reeve shrugs and walks to the kitchen, sitting at the kitchen table. He wasn't hungry- he just feels like being in a friendly place. He leans back in the chair, placing his feet on the table. Hands clasped behind his head, he sings softly.
"Now Rosie, you're losin' the spark, love- the light used to shine in your eye.
Now tell me you haven't stopped dreaming- that you still reach up to the sky!
This life ain't no bed of roses-
It ain't all it's cracked up to be.
But in the end, there's still always you and me!
Rosie, oh, Rosie- money don't grow on trees,
But if you wait for just one second, I'll be down on my bended knee."

It wasn't Clow's presence that surprised her, merely the way in which she found him.
She kicked him lightly with her bare foot. "Get up lazy." She laughed, white eyes catching the light from the hall. She could sense a familiar presence in the kitchen.
"Come on, let's get something eat." She stepped over him, pushing open the kitchen door as the sound of Reeve softly singing reached her.
"Hey." She smiled.

Reeve, facing away from the door, raises his hand and waves behind at Nami, sort of fading out of his song.
