[Anyone that has encountered Adachi for the past two weeks will have noticed the all too obvious changes. His usually unkempt hair is actually neatly combed and styled, he actually wears his suits properly, and he is apparently sporting a pair of glasses. The only thing

Ah, Tohsaka-chan.

Rider said I've been like this for a couple of weeks now. I feel pretty bad for just up and leaving her like that. ...Not that I really had any control over it, but still.

[iheartcabbage]

H-hey, what is that supposed to mean? It's not like I'm some shitty wife beater or something!

[Geeze, why so defensive Adachi?]

I mean, I'm pretty sure she's doing okay. She seems like the type that would actually kick my ass if I did anything to anger her, you know?

...As for me, I'm fine. Other than wondering how the hell I get my hair back to normal.

[iheartcabbage]

Don't you think I know that already? She could snap my neck like it was a twig if she wanted to. Hell, she wouldn't even have to do that much. She could just turn me to ston--

[Wait, he wasn't actually supposed to be saying this stuff to other people. Then again, Rin already knew her so... It really wasn't that big of a deal, right?]

A-anyway, I don't know if I trust anyone enough to mess with my hair. I mean, I've kept the same hairstyle since elementary school. This whole... slicked back thing? It's just not me. Although I'm sure it probably makes me look more professional, but who even cares about that kind of crap here?

[Well, he was about to say something but that name... He pretty much knew who she meant. Rider had only gushed about her a million times, and she had seemed pretty down lately, so he had already put one and one together. But at the same time? It really wasn't his place to bring it up. He didn't know anything about either of them, really. Just what little Rider had told him. Still... His voice suddenly has a painfully awkward level of empathy. Sorta.]

...You two should probably get together soon. I know she's been a little reluctant to go outside since, er, that happened... But I think it might be good for the both of you?

[...And this is probably why the whole ADACHI THE ADVICE GURU thing didn't pan out too well. Oh well, he tries.]

[iheartcabbage]

Well, I mean... I think you're the only person lef-- [He stops himself short. He really shouldn't be stirring up memories like that. Can't he ever think before he speaks?]

Er, what I mean is that you probably understand her better than anyone else here, right? I think she could use the company from time to time. She says she's content just reading but, I know that's got to get boring if it's the only thing she does while I'm away. She's usually here all day unless she's out shopping or something.
