The 3rd of my drabble series (check the others in my account). Set around after the Mugenjou I arc.
Sometimes changes aren't so bad, if one stops and thinks about it. Take, for example, the Monkey Trainer, in love with the violin player. Or the Thread Spool finally making peace with his long-time protector. Or the brain-boy, even, accepting his existence at last.
Himself? He thinks he hasn't done too badly either, all things considered. He's no longer on killing terms with Himiko, he still hates the Jackal's gut, and he can bear the others' presence around him.
And amazingly, he still has Ginji.
"Ban-chaaann!" A tackle-hug, and he remembers why he easily accepts the changes in his life.
