[....despite the whole starfish thing, her words sound very appealing. Shikamaru's card itself states he'll never be an important person, but he figured he could still find happiness in normalcy: a small role with a worthy goal.

Or. Something eloquent like that. Whatever. He reads her card with much scrutiny.]

--oh. So this prince was once a human, you think?

Yep! I think he used to live with us at our house, too, since I guess his kingdom's probably not here. We did get him a really nice tank apparently though? Which is good! 'Cause if he has to be stuck like this at all, I don't want it worse than it needs to be.

Hm. If his kingdom's not here, maybe mine isn't either.

Your kingdom? Are you a prince?

Knight, actually. I'm not so special, I'm just supposed to protect people like you who are.

[ Her expression very candidly explains that she disagrees about the specialness of knights. ]

REALLY?! Maybe you're Prince Petunia's knight!

[WELL SHE'S SMALL! Appealing to kids is probably somewhere in this code thing.]

It says I serve a king, actually. But it could be his dad I guess. A prince could be a package deal, I guess.

It could be!! I haven't heard of any other princes or kings yet, either!

[Does he really serve a starfish. What is his life.]

Well. [Smile.] Whether it's the same king or not, I can't go leaving people who need help anyways, right?

Definitely not!!! Knights have to go on lots of quests, I think!

[--face falling.]

I dunno about a lot...

[ Wow, he looks sad. ]

...I'm sure you can do it!

Ehh... that's a lot of work, you know.

It's not work if you have fun doin' it!

...It does sound like a life that'd be exciting.

[He smiles for a moment, a little taken with that idea.]

[But then he shakes his head.]

But so far all it's been is codes of conduct.

Maybe you're reading the wrong books! All my books have knights doin' exciting things like savin' people an' fighting dragons and stuff! Or you can make up your own knight code!

[ seriously she will lend you these hot fairy tales Shikamaru. ]

I don't want to fight anyone if I can avoid it.

[He rubs the back of his head for a moment, before shrugging.]

Besides. If this guy's cursed, I should focus on him, right?

You can become friends with dragons, then! That happens in my books, too.

[ Reminded of her own problem, which she'd sort of kind of forgotten in the excitement, Ikki nodded, cheerfully. ]

Right! Unless you meet anyone in even more trouble!

You have a strong moral sense for someone so small, you know.

Haha, really? [ It's probably because she's working for Prince Petunia! ...Or is related to him, or is his subject. Or...whatever. ...Okay, she's not clear where these things come from, but Ikki isn't one to worry overmuch about the things she thinks or does. ]

I think I'm just normal, though!

Really. Normal can be great.

[He smiles wide.] Since there's no damsels to save right now, let's look for clues. If Petunia is a prince, we'll break this curse.

[ Ikki beams back at him. ] Right!!!

...Oh, hey! What's your name, mister? Your tag is blank. [ She taps her own nametag as she talks. ]

[Shikamaru starts walking, indicating they should... go. Somewhere. He'll let her lead the way, actually.]

Right, right. [He points a thumb to himself.] Nara Shikamaru, at your service.
