Ishiki looked at the stone for a long moment.
The house had four walls and a triangle roof, worn into that form by either water or the shop that had made it.
He turned it over once... before Nina took and broke it into two equal halves. The first one had the word welcome and the second one had the part home in it.
There was a magnet that joined both the parts as if they were never separate to begin with.
Nina gave him the part which had the word "Home" on it and kept the welcome part to herself.
"Its really pretty." Ishiki said with an almost solemn expression. "I like it."
"It's for when you go somewhere dangerous, like all players go." she added. "Because you have to come back to give it to me again."
"Noted," Ishiki nodded and stood up to go into the kitchen.
She stood in the doorway for a moment longer, apparently satisfied that the terms had been properly conveyed, then padded back down the hallway toward her room and the waiting presence of Mr. Bear.
