[Nezumi had been mallynapped and that was kind of a dent to his pride. It was better left unknown what happened for his own sake and he'd come back a week ago, pretty banged up. But thanks to his pride, he'd hidden off somewhere. It wasn't anything life-threatening so he really hadn't needed anybody.

But now he's back and he needs to keep busy. He figures he'll read and now he's curious. Talking to people is a pain, but...]

Lucetians, a moment of your time. [He sounds pleasant for once. You catch more flies with honey and all.] What are your classics? By this question, I mean in literature. [Maybe this is too hard a question for some of the people here. Sorry, Luceti, he isn't very impressed with half of you.] Or just tell me a good novel from your world.

Action | Locked to Sion

[Hey honey, I'm home. And he's going to act like he didn't disappear and just make his way to his room. Not saying a single word. He looks fine anyway.]

Comments

[entwiningfate]

[Sion will know somehow, someway. Don't doubt this kid.]

So does worrying non-stop. Not knowing what's happening to you... where you are... it makes every second seem like an hour.

[action]

[asquiet]

[Nezumi doesn't look at Sion as he speaks.]

Don't worry about me. My things weren't gone so I hadn't been sent back home. [He goes silent for a moment before continuing.] I'll always come back.

[action]

[entwiningfate]

[Sion pauses for a moment to look at Nezumi. That last comment...

He just smiles] And I'll always be waiting for your return.

[action]

[asquiet]

[Things are getting sappy. Nezumi doesn't like sappy.]

You'll be passed out by the time I return. Take care of yourself.

[action]

[entwiningfate]

No, I'll be awake. I know how many hours of sleep it takes to recharge my body and mind enough to think and move about without any problems.

[He makes sure to know this stuff]

[action]

[asquiet]

I can tell by the bags under your eyes.

[It's still not healthy to be that way. Honestly this is Nezumi showing a little concern.]

[action]

[entwiningfate]

[Smiling sheepishly at that]

Well I didn't sleep well last night. That's why I appear to be so tired.

[action]

[asquiet]

[He gives him a look that shows he isn't buying a single thing he says. Okay, Sion. Right. But he doesn't say anything and just turns his head. He'll be here until Sion goes to bed.]

[action]

[entwiningfate]

[Sion just smiles sheepishly to himself as he takes off his sweater, folding it neatly to put it on the foot of his bed then plops down on the bed with a yawn]

Do you want me to make you something to eat before I take a short rest? Are you famished at all?

[action]

[asquiet]

[He looks at him in disbelief.]

Are you...? [Nezumi doesn't finish that sentence. He knows Sion is serious. He shakes his head.]

Your concern is touching, m'dear, but we do not want a fire from your exhaustion. I am sure I can cook something for myself.

[action]

[entwiningfate]

[Sion only laughs]

I can cook just fine, even in this state. I would have starved myself by now if I couldn't.

[action]

[asquiet]

Your mother's a baker. I'd hope you'd be able to cook. But just sleep. I can take care of myself so you take care of yourself.
