Akihiko; SEVERAL HOURS LATER.....

[bedninja]

...Thank you for informing them of his departure. I... do not believe I would have been able to do so, myself.

Pharos; /DEADEYES AT JOURNAL...

[brbfisting]

It's alright, Pharos.

[ a beat. ]

You doing okay?

Akihiko; SOB..... yais...

[bedninja]

[He's silent, for at least a good few seconds before he speaks up.]

I do not know.

...A friend of mine has offered for me to move in with him... and I believe I will take the offer. Provided that it is alright with him, as the residence belongs to him, I will be leaving the Castle soon.

Pharos;

[brbfisting]

Leaving the Castle... why?

Akihiko;

[bedninja]

...because Minato would not wish for me to do anything... 'hasty'. And right now, looking at most of the humans within the Castle makes me want to do things that would be very, very 'hasty'.

Pharos;

[brbfisting]

They didn't do anything, Pharos. The Castle sent him back.

Akihiko;

[bedninja]

I am aware of that. But who is to say that none of them are from your world?

...Logically, I know that very few of them could possibly be from your world. I know that, and yet when I look at them all I can think about is how Minato is dead because of them, and I still do not believe they deserved that.

Pharos;

[brbfisting]

Think that all you want, then. You're just misplacing your emotions here and blaming people for something they never meant to do in the first place.

Akihiko;

[bedninja]

I am aware of that! I do not know how to handle feelings like this, and you should know that, Akihiko. But I have done nothing to anyone, and I will be leaving the Castle in an attempt to avoid doing anything that would make either you or Minato unhappy. Is that not good enough for the time being?

Pharos;

[brbfisting]

Yeah... but you're going to have to face the residents someday. What about this person you're staying with?

Akihiko;

[bedninja]

...I am aware of that as well. For the moment, at least, I... hope that the impression they give me right now will fade if I avoid them for a little while. It seems more troubling with larger groups than smaller.

[A beat.] What is it exactly that you would like to know about him?

Pharos;

[brbfisting]

I'm only going to say this: you can't outrun your emotions. It might ease up for now but they always come back.

Isn't he a human like us?

[ ... ding ding ding. ]

... Ah.

Akihiko;

[bedninja]

[Sob. just. Ugh. HE DOESN'T LIKE THESE EMOTIONS DAMN IT.] If I am not able to outrun them, what would you have me do?

[A beat. did... Aki just say he was human...]

No... he is not. In fact, he seems to be almost entirely out of my jurisdiction, in a way.

His name is Zelman.

Pharos;

[brbfisting]

You face them head on. [ like a man!! ]

Zelman? [ and if he's out of pharos' jurisdiction... ] Maybe... he doesn't have a soul?

Akihiko;

[bedninja]

...I do not know how to 'face' emotions, Akihiko. [Bro he's too tiny to be a man anyway. :c ]

Perhaps not; to be honest I cannot say for sure. He is simply... different.

Pharos;

[brbfisting]

Not everyone does. It's just something you learn to accept, in a way.

Are you sure that's a good idea then?
