[There's a fire in the middle of this particular courtyard, and a Kanda just standing in front of it, watching. His Tease is out, fluttering near him worriedly. He's not in in uniform, opting for a simple grey-blue dress shirt and jeans

[Road pauses at the entrance, watching him in concern before walking over to him quietly.]

...Kanda.

[stainedlotus]

... What. [Not turning to look, sorry.]

[dreamlessrecord]

What happened?

[stainedlotus]

The Order happened.

[dreamlessrecord]

What did they do? [For once, her voice sounds neutral. She's worried, yes, but her Bookman instincts are coming out as well.]

[stainedlotus]

...Everything, when it comes down to it. [Trying to get in that mindset, to shove everything away, all his hurt, but. It's not working this time. So he just holds Mugen in his hand as tightly as he can.]

[dreamlessrecord]

[She hesitates before reaching up to gently wrap her hand around his wrist. It's meant to be a comfort.]

[stainedlotus]

[Lets her, but still doesn't break his gaze from the fire.]

[dreamlessrecord]

Kanda. Come on. [Gently tries to tug him away.]

[stainedlotus]

[Finally does look away and down at Rhode. There's just a flat look in his eyes.]

[dreamlesslogs]

[If she's bothered by it, she doesn't show it. She looks back at him calmly, tugging on his wrist again.]

[stainedlotus]

...I only have one place to go back to.

[dreamlesslogs]

Where?

[stainedlotus]

My family.

[dreamlesslogs]

Then let's get you back to them. They must be worried.

[stainedlotus]

[Lets her tug him away from the fire.]
