[ Plus, he's got another arm, two legs and a torso; he can make it work. But he does go ahead and underline the NOTEBOOK that's already written on his arm, so he remembers to do that one first. Next should be the bag so he doesn't have to carry the notebook in his hands, and the fish can hang out and be bait, it shouldn't matter except for stinking up his pants. ]
[ minato taking off his shirt to write upside down on his torso is a real cursed image, as is minato getting so many notes he becomes the guy from memento ]
[ It's rude, but it's also valid, because Minato shakes his head no. He does not, in fact, know Morse Code, but he also doesn't see it as a problem because there's a library and books and there may be one chance in a hundred million that one of those books is on Morse Code. He'll figure it out. ]
...We'll see what happens first, finding a notebook, or learning Morse Code.
[ Where does one find an empty notebook, anyways? Minato may or may not end up scouring through the library to find books with blank pages, carefully removing them, and re-binding them all together into one notebook. ]
[ It takes some effort to keep from rolling his sleeve back up and jotting down "LIBRARY"-- he can remember this, he should have some trust in his memory. ]
It's not as complicated as that, I don't think... Morse Code is based off sounds, not full words. So instead of a dictionary, I'd be memorizing... maybe 50 patterns?
[ He's glad for that, smoothing down the sleeve over his arm so nothing smudges before he gets the chance to transfer them to a notebook. ]
Alright. Then, I'll take the detour and find that book. You going to stay here and check the rest of the crannies?
[ To do list: go to the library to find a notebook, and also a book on Morse Code, and then tuck himself away in a corner and finish knitting this net, and potentially a bag if he has any leftover thread.
Putting the sardine in the fridge gets forgotten in the shuffle, but Minato will eventually give it to Hisoka, who hopefully throws it in the trash, so it works out in the end. ]

[ what has he wrought on himself ]

[ lmfao they are going to do this and it'll be Axel's fault ]
no subject
[ he puts a hand to his forehead and sighs ]
Yeah, alright. Just... pick a day, I guess. [ this is why he always gets stuck with the icky jobs, isn't it. he does it to himself. ]
no subject
I don't have plans, so I'm free whenever. You'll be keeping me company, so you can choose the day.
no subject
[ he's hoping minato forgets about it by then. ]
no subject
[ He adds this to the growing list on his arm. He will not forget about it. I'm also making a note for myself in my notes page. ]
no subject
Seriously, man, make sure you get that notebook. I don't think you got enough skin to last the rest of our time here.

How small can you write before you can't read it?
[ why would he ask that ]
no subject
I think if I had a fine point pen, I can do it pretty small... If I do it in morse code, it can be even smaller.
[ Just fills his entire body with dashes and dots ]
no subject
You know morse code?
[ he sounds rather surprised, which is a bit... rude, axel... ]

The notebook. It's clearly gonna be the notebook.
no subject
You're so confident. Have you already found empty notebooks, in your survey of nooks and crannies?
[ He might be asking for a hint to point him to the right direction. ]
no subject
Yeah, I did. There's some in the library. But even if I hadn't, learning a whole new language is always gonna be the longer option.

[ minato??? ]
no subject
[ WHAT OF IT, AXEL??? ]
Do you want to learn to? We could Morse Code each other.
no subject
[ it is so hard to say no to minato's enthusiasm and it is not JUST because axel is weak to teens ]
