[The picture that appears on the journal is of Oz smiling - though if you know him, you'll also see that it doesn't quite reach his eyes.]

I'm back.

[The voice goes even softer.] Not that there is really any one still around to notice that I was gone.

[He looks back towards the house for a moment before he sighs softly - and then smiles at the

[Action] O-Ozzzz QAQ

[When is Seto not out? For some reason, just staying inside the house all day doesn't sit well with him. As he's walking along, he notices a lonely someone just sitting there on the steps.

Seto's an expert at loneliness and he doesn't like to see others in that state, so he walks up to the blonde and gives him a warm smile]

Are you okay?

[Action]

[etreici]

[Have a smile! Though it doesn't reach his eyes at all.]

I'm fine. I'm just waiting for my friends to come home.

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

[You can't fool Seto with that smile. He knows. He plops on down beside Oz, leaning back on his hands]

Can I keep you company until they come back?

[Action]

[etreici]

Sure! I don't know when they'll be back though.

[He turns his head to the side and offers his hand.] I'm Oz.

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

I see. I can stay here as long as you like, I don't think I'm really needed anywhere.

I'm Seto! [...Wait..why is he showing him his hand? He stares at his hand, debating on what to do with it...so he takes it but instead of actually shaking it, he looks it over with a frown] Does your hand hurt?

[Action]

[etreici]

[Oz lets out a genuine laugh at that and shakes his head, shifting their hands so he's shaking Seto's.]

No, it's a greeting. Like this. To say "it's nice to meet you".

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

[Huh...so that's what you do? At least it got him to laugh. So he shakes his hand with a smile]

O-Oh! Haha, I'm sorry. I'm still not exactly used to greeting actual people. But, it's nice to meet you, Oz!

[Action]

[etreici]

What do you mean "actual people"?

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

[Damn did he just say that. He shakes his head and scratches his cheek, not really wanting to tell Oz]

It's nothing. [Topic change, GO] Have you been here in Luceti long?

[Action]

[etreici]

[Oz is okay with that. He has things he doesn't want to talk about too and he just answers the question.]

Not that long. What about you?

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

[He relaxes a little when Oz doesn't continue to question him on that. He doesn't like to tell people because it only brings a depressing atmosphere]

I...haven't been here that long either. I guess you could say I just arrived! Sorta. [Chuckle] Your friends came with you, right? [Just making sure Oz isn't sitting here waiting for someone who won't show]

[Action]

[etreici]

Yeah. Just...stuff happened and -

[Oz shakes his head.] But I'm back here so that means they'll be back soon anyway.

Gil's always late.

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

Oh, I see! [He smiles brightly and leans forward, wrapping his arms under his knees] Is Gil your best friend?

[Action]

[etreici]

Mmhmm. My special person. [Oz smiles a little brighter at that.] He'd never leave me here alone.

[Action]

[presumablyalone]

Your special person...You two must be inseparable! [Reminds him almost of himself and Crow. So that must mean...]

You've kissed him then right? [Innocent smile]

[Action] 1/??

[etreici]

Ri - [WAIT.]
