I'm starting to think these World Turtles have a fascination with using people's souls as cosmic currency in some way or another.

[ Someone's grouchier than usual today. And apparently uncaring about the hypocrisy of him presenting this particular argument. ]

That's the only reason I can think of for why they're continually attaching ours to some kind of tangible reminder: first lanterns, then jewels, now being marked like a gods-damned heifer at market.

At least no one should be able to swallow these tattoos, unlike the gems-- and before anyone asks, yes, that's a thing someone tried once.

A pause at the offered carafe, but then the Fool nods and, finding a mug, offers it out to be filled. After a murmured 'thank you,' he brings it up to his lips to sip it; however he feels about its flavour, he masks it well.

(Could use some cream, perhaps.)

"Is Aifaran very different from your home?" With one slender hand, the Fool gestures for them to sit someplace more comfortable than simply lingering near the coffee maker.

"It is quite different than the place I was in before this world," Bakura answered, moving to one of the seating tables. Thankfully the area isn't busy, and there seem to be few other Dreamfolk around at this time of day (presumably most have jobs, or something suitably responsible to be doing). The choice of wording to reframe the Fool's question is not unintentional.

"Prior to this, I was in a country called Japan, in the world of Earth. It was... more advanced, in a lot of ways, than things in Aifaran. Additionally, magic is largely unknown there to most, although it exists nonetheless."
