✿ come tell me why

[for the past couple of weeks, Chigusa has been haunting the Onsen Inn, rarely leaving or interacting with those that don't first approach him, either sitting idly by a window or out on the porch, watching the day go by. tonight he's taken up his usually spot outside, and is staring out at nothing in particular.]

[Rakan has gotten quieter and quieter as the days go by, but he's still been sitting downstairs or outside every evening too]

I'm sure this must be very boring for you.

[polyculture]

[shakes his head]

It's not boring.

[smoothcriminal]

[glances over at him]

[polyculture]

Sorry. I'm probably not good company either.

[smoothcriminal]

You're not bad company.

[polyculture]

Really?

[smoothcriminal]

Really. You have a quiet presence.

[polyculture]

That's not me, it's just because we've spent so much time looking at the garden.

[smoothcriminal]

Perhaps. But there is something about you, though.

[polyculture]

Something?

[smoothcriminal]

[nods]

[polyculture]

. . . I'm glad you think so.

[smiles faintly, then looks away again]

[relaxes a little and moves to the edge of the porch, feet in the grass]

Do you like being here?
