So he's slightly to the left when the paper smashes through the inn window, leaving a trail of broken glass and destruction everywhere.
Which, how convenient, stops just shy of the doll, who doesn't even look up from his drawings]
Paper is here.
no subject
If I ever find that paperboy, gonna tell him we only need one.
[Well, the broken glass ain't gonna clean up itself, so guess who's cleaning it up? Yup. Moi.]
no subject
He remembers.
[6 had drawn all over his paper. More alchemy symbols, so it would seem.
The riddles were just answered with pictures and pictographs.]
no subject
[Well, he's gonna sit on his favorite chair to use the newspaper to find more bounties. Eventually, when he'll be done with it, he'll give it to 6 to use as drawing paper.]
no subject
What the hell?
[He picks up the newspaper. Hey, no way in hell 6 has enough strength to the break window, right?]
Well, goddamit. I have to pay the inn keeper for the window too.
no subject
[And apparently, 6 was aware it was coming, since there were at least ten drawings of a boy on some strange cross between a bike and a horse with one grossly massive arm wielding papers like a sword.]
Hello.
no subject
Hello 6. Yeah, don't worry about it. Gonna pay the innkeeper to replace the windows.
