Twenty-third Bite || Video/Action for Goldenrod

[biteisbigger]

[ you might not have seen Kisa around or on the network since yesterday. This is because Kisa has been in her room. You see, she's come to the conclusion that she should really check and see if the rest of the Sohma family knows about Kyo and Tohru yet, but that's a little hard to do when you don't trust your voice not to break

[i_in_team]

[Hey, he knows where that is. So Ryoma makes his way - slowly - to the radio tower to see if he can find Kisa and make sure she's okay. Just in case.] ... Kisa? [He doesn't know her that well and all, but she's crying, and crying kids are never good. Karupin the Skitty bounds ahead of Ryoma, on Purr Patrol.]

[action]

[biteisbigger]

[ she's still standing there, palms pressed to her eyes and shoulders hunched, though she lowers her hands a little in surprise when she hears her name. Ari's sitting protectively nearby, though doesn't move to bite Ryoma's head off, so that's something. ]

Y-you're...

[action]

[i_in_team]

[Hesitant kiddo is hesitant. He doesn't want to piss off her pokemon, or startle her.] Echizen Ryoma. Kintarou's friend. [Kintarou has talked about Kisa, so hopefully that means they know each other better.]

[action]

[biteisbigger]

I remember... I met you before...

[action]

[doorjammer]

[Oh no! More crying children! This just isn't Seven's week. So excuse him as he just stands over here, mulling over what to say--]

-- Hey, Alice, come back here!

[While Seven's Smoochum runs over to the little girl. Alice tugs at Kisa's socks.]

Smoo?

[Now Seven's going to pretend to be invisible. They're both girls. They can talk this out, right?]

[action]

[biteisbigger]

...

[ hi, Alice! Kisa remembers you.

... so she'll crouch and look miserably at you, but offer a hand. ]

[doorjammer]

[And as Alice puts her hands on Kisa's hand, Seven hides behind a thick post like a ninja: a really big, fat, orange ninja who shouldn't be called a ninja at all. But at least he's being quiet.

Except when he sneezes.]

[biteisbigger]

[ oh god.

Kisa jumps about a foot, because somehow, she completely missed the sight of a big, fat, orange ninja until then. ]

[hasavision]

Kyo and oneechan...

H-hey, Kisa! Are you okay?

[Video]

[biteisbigger]

[ NOT REALLY.

As evidenced by the fact that it's a good while before she replies. ]

Y-yes.

[Video]

[hasavision]

...Kisa...

They... left, didn't they?

[Video]

[biteisbigger]

... [ a tired nod. ]

[audio]

[usedroar]

[ Oh, Kisa. He wishes he could give you more than what he's got to offer right now. ]

It'll be okay. I'm here if you need me, Kisa.

[audio]

[biteisbigger]

[ it's a tiny voice that answers him-- faster than the video replies, because she doesn't have to dry her eyes like this. ]

T-thank you.

[audio]

[usedroar]

It's nothing. Is there anything you need...?

[audio]

[biteisbigger]

[ she starts to shake her head before she remembers-- right, audio. ]

No... I-I'll be okay...

video; assumption granted!

[biteisbigger]

[ sorry, Yuuta, it'll be awhile before she replies.

Still looking like a kicked tiger puppy, but at least she isn't SOBBING. ]

I'm sorry...

video;

[biteisbigger]

[ obediently shuts up!

... Kind of.

The sniffling, man. ]
