"Kirika?" asked Mireille. "Would you mind wearing leggings and long sleeves whenever you receive cuts and bruises from our work?"

"I do not mind," Kirika said, "but why does it matter?"

"You appear to be much younger than I am, and our neighbors know that we're room-mates," Mireille said. "They might assume that I'm abusing you, and then call Social Services to investigate me."

"I see," Kirika said emotionlessly. "It would be easier if we could explain that you are planning to kill me soon anyway."

Mireille face-palmed. "No," she said, "I rather think that would make things MORE difficult."
