[After running away when Kanda had commanded her, Tohru ran to an open clearing, stopping and taking in short, heavy breaths of air, slumping against a tree eyes falling shut. Her hand fell to the side, hitting against the tree and turning it on.]

M-Mom...[she looked toward the darkening sky] Please...help me. I can't do this anymore. I-I'm so

Honda.

[fan_of_the_cat]

Eh...?

Kanda?

[iced_lotus]

Lenalee crawled out of her hole already. You can crawl out of yours.

[fan_of_the_cat]

Oh...yes, I know. I've already spoken to Lenalee-dono.

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you mean. I'm out in a clearing, near a small pond, if that's what you mean by "hole".

[iced_lotus]

I spend half my life fetching you.

[fan_of_the_cat]

Ah...I'm sorry.

You don't have to. I know Lenalee-dono is very important to you so if you'd like to stay with her to make sure she's safe I understand.

There are lotus flowers on the pond, I'll try to get some roots for you so when the house comes back I can make you some lotus root souba.

[iced_lotus]

She's fine. Her and Lavi will be off being embarrassing together somewhere.

[fan_of_the_cat]

You can come stay with me, if you'd like. I-I won't get in your way or anything, I promise. You can have the shelter and I can make another one.

[iced_lotus]

We'll see.

One minute.

[fan_of_the_cat]

Okay.

Take your time Kanda. I dont think I'll be leaving this spot any time soon. Its so pretty and I think my mom would enjoy it if she was here. Even if you don't want to stay, you should see it.
