(They say after a storm is the best time to find sea treasures and Tsurumaru is out collecting sea shells. If Monika gets close enough, a magpie might swoop by her ear towards Tsurumaru who holds out his hand and catches something it drops. )
Oh! (He waves to Monika,) Have you come looking for treasure, too?
[BIRB... Her daemon trails behind her, currently in the form of a black swan, and slows to a stop about the same time she does. She gives the hand he used to catch that Something a curious look.]
Ahaha, like buried treasure? [A shake of her head and a small laugh.] I'm just taking a walk. Sounds like you found something fun to do, though.
Of course, if a spirit tells you not to do something, it's best not to do it. But I wonder... to give a box to someone and tell them not to open it seems rather cruel, don't you think?

(The magpie chirps, flying circles around him before landing on his shoulder,)
You never know what surprises the sea will share.
no subject
[Smash cut to the lighthouse corpse. It's fine.]
Well, have you found anything good?
no subject
Hmmm. (He holds out his hand to show Monika the thing Kiku has dropped. A piece of sea glass, green in color.) This and that.
What do you think?
no subject
[Her eyes light up, leaning a teensy bit closer to get a better look at the glass.]
It's pretty... I wonder what it used to be.
no subject
(Like, not here here. But you know.)
no subject
[She leans back, nodding.]
Now it's here, just one tiny piece of what used to be a whole.
no subject
(Anyway, he holds it out to her once more,)
Here.
(She can have it.)
no subject
You're giving it to me?
no subject
(He taps his face, right next to his eye. It's green! Like her eyes.)
And green isn't my color. I'd rather have something red or white.
no subject
Actually, green's my favorite color too. Thank you.
[Pocketing it!]
But since you gave me a gift, I'll feel awful if I let you go without giving you something in return now. Let's go find something red or white, okay?
no subject
Is it? What a wonderful surprise!
(Wow, that worked out great.)
Yes! Let's see what we can find! And if you find any turtles, let me know, too.
no subject
Eh? Turtles? [With a bit of a laugh, baffled.] I will, but why?
no subject
Hm? So she can take us to the Dragon King's Palace, of course. And then we can ask him to take care of us instead.
