02 [Action]

[Waking up in some strange room he didn't recognize was not on this young boy's agenda today. Whatever the place was, he wasn't too keen on staying in it for long. Thankfully, he found a note on the nearby desk that told him Richard was in "House #43". It looked similar to the boy's writing, and hey, would he really steer him wrong

[...That's not Richard. That's DEFINITELY not Richard. Richard's short and blond and kinda lanky and pale and-- well, this guy's definitely not Richard. So Asbel doesn't move from his spot, because he came to see Richard, not this guy with the neat-looking tattoos.]

...Who are you?

[seekscrosophie]

[Some of the tension in Asbel's body relieves itself. He was worried he did all this searching for nothing, to just come to the house of this random guy. But Richard's here! He's really here! That's good. Yeah, good... He starts walking forward now. There's absolutely no way this could be a trap, after all.]

So Richard really is here?

[causeblocked]

What about Richie?

[Popping over Naoki's shoulder now. Who's this kid?]

[seekscrosophie]

[Looking as Isamu now. Who are these guys?] ...Haha, Richie? That's a silly nickname for Richard! But I got a better one for him!

[...Ohhh, maybe they're Richard's bodyguards! That would make sense; he's supposed to be an important guy, after all. They sure do look out of place as bodyguards, though... Looking back at Naoki, now.] Yeah, that's right! Richard and I are best friends!

[causeblocked]

[What. What. Why the nudging? Isamu totally fails at the mind reading thing, but at least he'll behave.]

What's your name then, kid, and we can tell him you're here?

[seekscrosophie]

[Coming in through the door now. It IS open, after all.]

Me? I'm Asbel. Asbel Lhant!

[causeblocked]

[Asbel, Asbel... Where has he heard this name before? Yeah, Richard had said this was his friend, hadn't he? Some how he'd expected him to be older...

Oh. Right.

Well, this has the potential to be awkward.] Good to meet you. I'm Isamu. Naoki, you wanna grab his buddy for us?

[The first thing Naoki might notice when he enters the bedroom is the fact that the blanket lump on the bed is... much smaller than usual. There's still a familiar head of blond hair poking out of the top, at least...]

[tiger_festival]

[There's silence for a few moments, then a mumbled:]

What is it?

[Yeah, that voice? Much higher pitched than Richard's usually is, and decidedly less friendly.]
