NINE // [AUDIO] BACKDATED TO 12/5

[catsnboots]

Some of you may have noticed that North didn't show up around the Village today. In case you are worried, be reassured. He is with me and seems to be fine.

[There's a quiet pause during which Sebastian watches the sleeping boy on his bed, Hamlet curled up by his side. A real Sleeping Beauty.]I found him early this morning, asleep at the foot of

[ If there was surprise as a first reaction, it doesn't show up on the feed - mostly it passed before Kyouko let herself turn on the feed. But all the same her emotion shines through, just raw anger to coat the worry. ]

The hell happened?!

[ audio ]

[catsnboots]

[Oh. This one must be North's friend. If Sebastian remembers well, he cooked for the both of them once.]

I truly have no idea, Miss...

[ audio ]

[selfished]

[ She scoffs at the device. Sorry, Sebastian, this one doesn't have the best of manners. ]

Ya better be tellin' the truth, you know. [ She's already moving, from the sound of things. ] I'm coming over right now.

[ audio ]

[catsnboots]

[There's no need to be sorry. Sebastian is used to rude young ones.]

I never lie, young Miss.

[ audio ]

[selfished]

We'll see 'bout that-- where d'ya live?

[ audio ]

[catsnboots]

Not far from the Village Square, in the Forge's direction. You can't miss the bar's sign.

[ audio ] over to action? :3

[selfished]

Give me less than a minute and I'll be right there.

[ and with that, she cuts off the feed, although there might be some muttered cursing before that. ]

[ACTION] Yes ! <3

[catsnboots]

[And Kyouko will find him standing behind the counter, even if the bar is empty for the moment.]

Welcome...

[ACTION] <333!!

[selfished]

[ Kyouko is not one for formalities, so she just stops up to the counter - muddy boots and all. ]

Here I am. [ She takes an apple out of her jacket's pocket, munching on it somewhat angrily. ]

[ACTION] All the love, forever !

[catsnboots]

[Sebastian frowns at the mud on the floor. Oh well, it won't be such a problem to clean.]

So now I suppose you want to see North ? [He moves towards the door leading to his personal part of the bar.]

[ACTION] o-oh, so much love...

[selfished]

Yeah, that's right. What else would I come here for except for that idiot getting himself into trouble once again?

[ Kyouko's way of expressing worry is through anger, yes. And she stomps after Sebastian as he walks. ]

[ACTION] Jelle deserves all the love.

[catsnboots]

Alright, alright. Just... Don't make too much noise. [He thinks she's loud enough already.]

And don't scare Hamlet...

[ACTION] djgjkd n-no, she doesn't.. (tears)

[selfished]

Whatever, whatever, I'll try. [ she doesn't sound like she'll make an effort, but that's more since she's so angry and worried right now. ]

Just hurry up already.

[ACTION] She does ! And sorry for the lateness... Having some trouble atm...

[catsnboots]

Go in then... [He opens the door, letting the young girl enter his domain.]

[ACTION] it's fine, bby! <3 you know I can wait!

[selfished]

[ And so she does quickly walk in, stomping over to where North is sleeping pretty quickly. She eyes the boy for a few moments before leaning a bit closer, as if to check if he's really alright, but it's not like she can discern that either way.

Instead she turns around to face Sebastian, a frown on her face. ]

So, did you find him like this?

[ACTION] Thank you, bbycake ! <33 Very difficult time for me.

[catsnboots]

[Hamlet rushes to hide under the bed when the girl comes in. He is still not used to strangers.]

Yes, exactly. He does not move or make a sound.
