It was needless to say, but Kon was suspicious of Luna. He didn't know if she was planning anything, but he wanted to find out. Kon was a curious man after all. "Why would I squeal? I don't mind the knights not knowing about things," he replied. Whatever she was doing seemed important, and Kon wanted in on it.

Luna stared at Kon for a few seconds before bursting out into laughter. "Oh come on, it was a joke!" She took a deep breath to calm herself down, but there were still some giggles mixed in. The girl didn't speak until she had completely calmed down, and once she did she was all serious again. "Ok. No more fooling around." Lookin down at the ground, Luna concentrated on telling the story. "The old guy in there is a retired tailor, but you'd never guess by the way he dresses. I guess he's a bit eccentric, but he gets the job done. See, he used to be famous, or so he says, for experimenting with new ways to make clothes. That's why he hides out now, to enjoy his retirement without being bothered by fans." Another pause.

"So anyway, he devised someway, don't ask me how, to make clothes even tinier than doll clothes. Not very useful when it comes to regular tailoring, but it works for us. My fairy friend, Kumori, comes here every year in order to get new robes. It'd be more reasonable for him to go back to his fairy village to get clothes, I know. But he's had a rough past, and for him, he says going home would be like stepping into hell. He say's it's family issues, but I'm not quite sure I believe him." There was yet another pause before Luna looked up at Kon, "Oh, just don't tell anyone about the tailor, ok? We had to promise the man that wouldn't tell in order to get him to cooperate. And, no, I won't hunt you down if you let it slip once or twice," she grinned.

"Oh yeah, and covering my face. One, the guy smells kind of funy, and two, he's sick. Kumori's fine, fairies heal faster, but I just don' have the time to recover. We've got too many places to go and too many treasures to nab."

Kon got a bit angry when Luna started laughing and revealed that it was a joke. He didn't like being deceived. He sighed and shrugged it off. After listening to the story he nodded. It was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "Is there any particular reason he travels with you?" he asked. That was the only thing he could think of to say at the moment since he might offend Luna by asking about Kumori, and he wouldn't get an answer anyway. She didn't seem to know what had happened. He stood silently as he awaited an answer.

"That's a good question, I really don't know exactly why he stays with me. I always just assumed he had nowhere else to go.... When we first met, I remember asking him why he was so far away from where he lived. I couldn't get a straight answer, and he just seemed so lonely.... I brought him home that day and he never really left."

She paused for a moment, and thought to herself, At the time, I probably needed him just as much as he needed me. Luna could feel it coming back to her, all of the memories and emotions. Forcing it all back, she continued casually. "I was glad when he stayed, so I didn't ask many questions. He won't say anything either, so I just don't bother anymore." She thought of the stubborn little fairy and smiled.

Kon gave a somewhat understanding nod. He didn't really get into serious discussions much, but he didn't mind this for some reason. "He seems to trust you," he said, looking up at her. "He seems loyal too. There aren't many people like that these days." He actually didn't know too many loyal people. But, that could be because he doesn't do much all day. He wasn't sure.

"Yeah, we've been together so long it's hard not trust each other. I'd trust him with my life, and I'm sure he'd to the same. It's nice having a best friend you can always count on. Do you have someone like that? Someone who you can trust, like a best friend?" She looked up at Kon. "I mean, you seem trustworthy, I"m confiding in you."

Kon thought about the people he knew for a minute. "Actually, I do know someone I can trust. His name's Kuro," he said. "You might not know him, but he doesn't do something if his friends could get hurt unless they're willing," he explained. "His brothers can't really be trusted though. People do things for Hiruma because he threatens them, and Kurita usually does things on his own. To think they're triplets is kind of a stretch for me."
