[If you wander by the fountain in your attempt to get out of freaky weather or while looking for people that you know, you may just spot a fish. He's sitting on the pavement, back against the fountain and his knees pulled to his chest. Tsuna doesn't seem to be doing too well at the moment--maybe that's because this is ten year's worth of

[... Someone still had no idea what was going on. But you're now the second person he's seen acting strange]

[It was almost, as if--] Sawada-dono...?

[sky_ringed]

[It might even give you flashbacks to that first illusions mess, considering. Either way, there may have been a flinch at your voice, and he doesn't glance up to meet your gaze.]

...Basil-kun.

[rain_chivalry]

[... Yes, and I rather not remember those :|]

What is wrong?

[sky_ringed]

[Well. Too bad. >:]

I've...caused a lot of damage.

[The fog had him worried quite a bit, mostly because he didn't know where the others were. . . and there was clearly something strange going on. . .Knowing this island, it was likely nothing good. . . He had been near the fountain when he noticed a figure there, though it was hard to make out in the fog.]

" .. . Ah. . Hey. . . Wh--"

[That's when he noticed who it was in their present condition. Something definitely wasn't right here, and he was willing to be Thalassa (and this fog) had something to do with it. He'll be immediately kneeling at your side, a look of concern obvious on his features.]

". . .Juudaime? What happened?! Are you alright?"

[sky_ringed]

[He might have curled up a little more, and he doesn't seem able to look at you right now.]

Hayato--I'm sorry... I'm so sor-- [It's then that his voice breaks, cut off by a shaky intake of breath, like he's trying not to cry.]

[smokin_bomb_59]

[He's not quite sure what happened here, but he's going to be wrapping his arms around you gently, trying to calm you down.]

". . . I-It's alright, Juudaime. . You. . .You don't have any thing to apologize for. . ."

[He's saying this gently.] " . . What happened?"

[sky_ringed]

[He doesn't try to get away from you, but he's not leaning into the contact like he normally would either. Though his fists are clenched, like he wants nothing more than to latch to you, but he's not letting himself.]

I...I left you... I lied and then I left, and you-- [You were devastated, and it could have so easily been avoided if he'd bothered to explain beforehand.]
