==== Part 5 ====

Location: Kittania

>The Proffessor limps out of the lodge. 
>The Proffessor Note Dont try climbing Thunder Peak without a rope. Its very dangerous. 
>Post-Human Nekomimi smiles, "Duly noted. Care for a cup of tea, medicinally of course." 
>The Proffessor checks his pockets. " Notebook, check, baseball bat, check, cigs check, req, moslt >still there."
>The Proffessor Yes to tea...yes to anything, except dying. br i 
>The Proffessor drinks his tea. br i 
>Post-Human Nekomimi pours a cup of tea and passes it over, "Sorry its just a thermos this morning >so the teas as I like it. English breakfast with a hint for sugar and lemon." br i 
>The Proffessor heads into the bank, still limping, to deposit what req he has remaining. He >doesnt want to lose that as well. 
>The Proffessor Thanks for the tea. br i 
>Post-Human Nekomimi smiles, "I try to be here most mornings with tea, as theres no decent tea house on the island you know."
>The Proffessor nods. "I dont know of one yet. Maybe I should build one. Though I doubt it would be as good as Paragon Tea Rooms."
>Post-Human Nekomimi says "Well one does what one can, yes?"
>The Proffessor Yes, yes. I dont think though I can do much more today. Sleep is probably about it. 
>Post-Human Nekomimi nods, "Thats certainly some days. This one Im avoiding the other form of tea >as I have a small event today."
>The Proffessor says,"Oh really? What?"
>Post-Human Nekomimi grins broadly, "Im getting married." 
>The Proffessor says, "Congratulations!"
>The Proffessor says, "Who to?"
>Post-Human Nekomimi says "Fox Kelfonne, Jaczszinszia Ravenlocke, and Shayde Zeerau Nekokoro."
>Post-Human Nekomimi sips her tea with a smile. 
>The Proffessor is confused. " Is that three people, or one perosn with three personalities, or one person with a very long name, or what?  "  
>Post-Human Nekomimi says, "Thats three seperate people... I think theyve only got one personality each though were not altogether sure about Shayde some days. "
>The Proffessor nods carefully. " I didnt know trigamy was allowed.  " He pauses for a moment, thinking. " But then, I dont see why not." 
>Post-Human Nekomimi shrugs, "It doesnt violate our ethics, so why not?" 
>The Proffessor sips his tea. " Agreed. "
>Post-Human Nekomimi says "And religious opinions arent relevant as weve no dominant theology here and none of the four of us are theists in any case."
>The Proffessor chuckles, thinking over the various island faiths, the Worshippers of Chaos, the Followers of the Hedgehogs, Eris Estoric, the order of Alchemy, &c., none of whom are dominant. 
>Post-Human Nekomimi gets up and brushes herself off.
>Post-Human Nekomimi Must be running, its in half an hour.
>Post-Human Nekomimi trots off eastwards.
>The Proffessor waves goodbye to Nekomimi.
>The Proffessor slowly walks out, looking for somewhere to stay the night.
