Roomie drunken bonding log ftw

[silken_blade]

[for Ky, Naoto, and Kougaiji only.]

.... *getting back from practicing with the katana, ushering the ducklings ahead of her and into the cave with one foot*

There's really no point in following me, you know... Anyone here?

*was in the middle of sharing some tea with Kougaiji. Tea that, unfortunately, is rather questionable at this point thanks to the island. But they don't know that yet.*

*therefore it takes him a moment longer than usual to register Naoto entering the cave* ...? Naoto?

[houtou_prince]

*mmm, really good tea - looking up from his seat on the couch and blinking at her*

Nobody here but us.

[silken_blade]

*ducklings scurrying over to say hello and she's taking a seat on the other couch*

.... *taking notice of the teacups* Ah. Sorry to interrupt your tea party.

[collectsteacups]

*hi there ducklings*

No, not an interruption at all. Care for some tea?

[houtou_prince]

Could use an interruption, probably. I think we're depressing each other, worrying about Hina.

*reaching down to pat one of the ducklings, and is the room a little blurry? ... must be his imagination*

[silken_blade]

*shaking her head* It's okay. Tea's probably too warm for me right now.

.... Hina? ... That's one of Shinku's sisters, right? *little frown* Did something happen?

[collectsteacups]

... ... *orz* Yes. She... *looking depressed just remembering* Shinku said she was "winding down", and... she did.

[houtou_prince]

*same here*

...She's "dying" I guess, for lack of a better word. I don't think it's an island thing either. *drinking more tea*

[silken_blade]

*looking from Ky to Kougaiji for a moment* ..... *orz really not sure what to say*

The island's cruel, but...

... even if it's not its fault this time, I don't think it would just let her... die.

[collectsteacups]

*takes a sip of his tea and pausing before continuing* Even so, she shouldn't have to go through such a thing. I wanted to help her...

[houtou_prince]

Me too, but there doesn't seem to be anything we can do.

*long sigh* It can put us in funny clothing and alter our personalities. You'd think the island could do something useful for once and help Hina.

[silken_blade]

Somehow, I don't think the two of you beating yourselves up over this is what she'd want.

[collectsteacups]

You're right. But... it's difficult. It's not something so easily forgotten.

[houtou_prince]

Sorry. I just hate feeling helpless. ...

*suddenly laughing quietly* You know what was funny? Hearing Ky swear.

[silken_blade]

....

That wasn't funny, that was highly disturbing.

[collectsteacups]

*just sorta... blinks* It was... a different experience. Interesting, I suppose.
