[kimi no kakera] shiro

(no subject)

「There's a white-haired boy on the beach, fully dressed for wintry weather. He's also wearing a cape and a pair of manacles. Oh, and he's vigorously gnawing on a tree, and yes, he's making progress.

Chomp chomp, nom nom. Bother, y/n?」

「And you're a tall 'friend', and all short people know that tall friends are the best for reaching those pesky high ~~shelves~~ branches. This is a fact of life that Shiro is currently learning.」

Man, I can't wait. I mean, that 'tree' wasn't bad, but if it's not really food, then real food around here has got to be amazing.

[I should think that pretty much anybody is tall in comparison to you, Shiro. But yes; it is in the best interests of vertically challenged folks to befriend someone with higher altitude so's they might reach that cookie jar on top of the fridge.]

... [Kind of cringing a little bit.] D-didn't it taste bad, though...? A-and what about splinters? I wouldn't know how to deal with splinters in my teeth.

「Well. Well, yes, granted, he is rather short, but but but but he's so cute and cuddly!」

No? Not really, I thought it tasted okay. And what's a 'splinter'?

[...This would mean a great deal more to someone not terrified of everything, sadly. :|]

...Y-you know, a splinter. You don't know what a splinter is...?

「Which is all fine and dandy. There may be some good reason to fear him, after all.」

No idea.

[Don't tell us that. DX]

... l-little pieces of wood that get under your skin. They hurt. [Because fff we don't know you can't feel pain. Derp.]

「No worries. He won't. He doesn't know either. 8D」

Hurt? Oh, it's okay then. I never hurt. My body doesn't feel pain. 「Which is perfectly fine, because he's rather open with his condition. :|b」

[Slowing to a confused stop and tilting our head at you a little. Doesn't--] ...t-that's kind of weird. [And vaguely reminds us of the fact that people can cause us bodily harm and we can just kind of shrug it off thank you Ragnarok.]

「Shuffles to a stop beside you and glances up. ~~Why are we not hurrying to the food?~~」 Really? Why's that?

[You ask so many questions, oh my god--] B-because most people can feel pain and it scares them, I guess... [Starts back toward the food again.]

Ooh, I know 'scared'. So 'pain' is scary? Are you scared of it too?

[Kind of not at all sure how to deal with you.] I-I don't know how to deal with it, s-so...

Dunno how to deal with pain? Me neither. I mean, I never even felt it. So what happens when you get hurt? What do you do?

[Generally speaking, we scream and eventually lose consciousness since we're incapable of not getting hurt to a mortal level. Uh.] I-it depends, I guess.

Wow, that's cool. I wish I knew what pain was like.

... [Stares for a while.] ... [Oh look, trees with funny leaves.] ...o-oh. [Here Shiro, have a piece of pizza.]

「beams excitedly!」 Wow! Is this, like, real food!?

I-it's... called "pizza".

Wow! 'Pizza'! 「snarf snarf snarf」 Wow, this 'pizza' stuff is great!

[Watching you eat that with a sort of conglomerate horror and intrigue.]

「The pizza is gone in a matter of seconds. Maybe half-seconds.」 And this stuff just grows on trees? That's so cool!
