[ Cue the freaking out. ]

June 1st [action]

[-- what on earth is that? Konatsu frowns at the sound of Shuri freaking out and rises from where he sits, making his way towards Shuri's bedroom door and raising a hand to knock cautiously on the door frame.] Oak?

[acowardlyoak]

[ there's a choked sob on the other side of the door. he's not going back. he's not going back, this isn't fair. ]

[tinyhawk]

[that's a bad sound. Konatsu knocks harder, giving Shuri once last chance to respond on his own before he invades his privacy.] Oak!

[acowardlyoak]

[ that door is not being touched. he's... well, he's trying to think of a way out of this.

he resisted the last time and ended up dragged through the streets. ]

[tinyhawk]

[Welp, Shuri had his chance. Hopefully Konatsu won't be walking in on anything more awkward than a situation usually is. He pushes the door open and, provided it yields to him, steps inside and looks about cautiously, calling Shuri's name one more time.]

[acowardlyoak]

[ he jumps at the sound of the door opening, clenching the book tightly in his hands. this look is rather close to a deer caught in headlights - or whatever the 07-Ghost world equivalent would be. ]

K... Konatsu-!

[tinyhawk]

[Konatsu frowns at Shuri's reaction, but doesn't offer any non-verbal cues beyond that simple expression.] What's going on?

[acowardlyoak]

[ the blonde bites his gloved fingers, holding the journal out with his other hand. ]

The draft!

[tinyhawk]

[The draft? Konatsu frowns and accepts the journal, flipping it open and studying the pages.]

[A moment later he snaps the journal closed, directing his attention up to Shuri again.] Is this your first assignment like this?

[acowardlyoak]

... No.

[ Last year. Last year. Before the earthquake. He'd done an admirable job about not thinking about it. The thought only crept up when he wasn't watching... ]

[tinyhawk]

What happened last time?

[acowardlyoak]

... I don't remember. [ lying. ]

[tinyhawk]

[Scowl.] don't lie. What happened? Was it a similar assignment to this?

[acowardlyoak]

I-it... [ Biting his lower lip. ] It... It was the same. It's all the same!

[tinyhawk]

[Konatsu senses and impending severe freak out coming on and attempts to negate it without setting Shuri off further. He reaches out to set a hand, gentle but firm, on Shuti's shoulder.] Calm down. Panicking won't improve anything.
