A riddle? Where was your mission to again?

[She blinks at the sudden riddle, but thinks.]

... It's man, isn't it? Or human now.

Egypt. I forget what town we went to, but they had this big temple in the middle of it, and a kishin egg shaped like a sphinx was hangin' around inside.

[...Wait, was that the answer?]

'Man'? I don't get it.

I see. Ironic.

[She nods and then goes into detail]

When it comes to a riddle, you can't take the words literally. Besides, this is the Sphinx's riddle from literature. Morning, noon, and night are stages in a human's life: infancy, adulthood, and elderly. First, babies crawl on their hands and knees so that's four legs; second, from childhood to adulthood, a person walks on two legs; and finally, when your bones begin to weaken, it's typical to imagine a senior citizen using a crane to assist them with walking, equaling three.

[He took a moment to file that away in his head. God, he was so bad at riddles. It's a wonder the sphinx didn't just eat him like the others, but perhaps bursting into song distracted it enough to forget its appetite.]

Ohhh! When you put it like that, that makes a little sense.

So what about 'what is greater than the Witches, more evil than Shibusen; the wealthy need it, the poor have it, and if you eat it you die'?

[He simply needs more practice with them, that's all. She nods, but then, raises an eyebrow]

Was this another riddle from the Sphinx?

Yeah. I got stumped on the first n' went to fight it, and then it laid that one on me.

['I don't really know what love is, I want you to show me' didn't appear to be the correct answer to that one, it seemed.]

[That... that is far from the answer.]

I see. Well, the answer is 'nothing'.

[More than a little off.]

Nothing? --Ohhhh, I get it.

...The hell, those're hard! Think I'm gonna leave the riddle-spittin' kishin eggs to other people from here on out. You made short work of 'em.

[She nods]

Riddles aren't meant to be simple. Besides, I've heard those two before.

Well, don't avoid them entirely. Just request for someone who is proficient in answering riddles otherwise, you miss an opportunity to fight against a Kishin egg.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

[And the new guy is practically flipped out of the ring, and he watched as Tifa dusted off her hands and nodded in satisfaction. Kanji had to grin a little bit. Called it.]

[He looked her way. He felt a little lazy today and wanted to call it a day, maybe do some damage on the breakfast table and head for home, but maybe he should track down a makeshift crutch for her. You know, just in case. Hmmm, but what...?]

[Naoto falls into silence as well, staring ahead. She too watches the fight and raises her eyebrows a bit. That move would make Chie envious, though, that guy didn't look like he stood a chance.]

[Slowly, she laid back again, not minding the fact her hat toppled from her head. Perhaps she had been around Minato for too long; she was feeling less energetic than usual. Or maybe it was just the leg inhibiting her normal routine. That sounded much more accurate.]

[If BREW brings Chie, Kanji would introduce them so fast. They had more than a couple of things in common.]

[He blinked when she lay back. She... probably accomplished a lot before taking a break, stressing that leg injury, and here he thought -he- was busy during morning training.]

[Hands in his lap, he looked up.]

Y'wanna catch a nap? I can keep an eye out.

[...And knock some heads together if people got too close or too noisy. What can he say? It's a force of habit.]

I would appreciate that.

[She'll be working all day once she gets up. Cases don't easily solve themselves.]

[Naoto would suggest telling people to keep it down another way. Kanji's current method of choice might wake her up sooner.]

[Nope, they don't, but don't overdo it when you do get to work, Naoto.]

You got it.

[Until then, he pulled his jacket off his shoulders and draped it over her. If he had to, he'll just have to master the art of stealth-renovating if someone did decide to swing by and be noisy.]

[Never any guarantees and you know that, Kanji.]

[She blinks when the much larger jacket is draped over her and she gives him a quizzical look. It's a nice morning; not one to really call for too heavy cover, but... it is pleasant. She shifts a bit, curling to a much more comfortable position on her side and letting out a low breath, closing her eyes again.]

[His eyes are following an invisible bird in the sky when she tosses that questioning look his way. It's a nice morning, but... it was breezy! I-it might get cold later, damn it!]

[Once she settled down, he did as well, slouching as he decided to spend his time messing with his communicator's draw pad instead, idly watching ass-kicking after ass-kicking in the distance.]

[Overall, not a shabby morning.]
