[ It's the middle of the night, and someone's not sleeping. But there are light footsteps on the rooftops, and a whisper of black cloth trailing just along the edge of your window as someone's checking up on you. Why tonight? You might have to ask, or guess. ]

[Someone was having a little trouble sleeping tonight. Probably that late night snack she had. Always ends up being a bad idea in the long run. She was sitting up in bed, looking out the window over to the park. Maybe going for a short ride would help?

Whoa, hey! What happened to the view? Who is... THERE IS SOMEONE OUTSIDE HER WINDOW?!]

AHHHHH!!!!

[grimreaping]

[ settles lightly on the sill, black cloak still moving even though he's not, almost like it's alive ]

Hello Makoto.

[tokiokakeru]

K-Kid?!

[She flings the window open, wondering if she's dreaming now. When did she fall asleep though?]

What are you doing outside my window?

[grimreaping]

I was just... passing through. Checking on things.

[tokiokakeru]

Just passing through at one in the morning?

[There is something going on here. She moves aside from the window.]

Why don't you come in? That window sill isn't really that big after all.

[grimreaping]

[ he has the grace to look apologetic ]

I didn't realize it had gotten so late.

[ moves inside, not so much stepping over the ledge but flowing over it -- no human can move like that ]

Thank you.

[tokiokakeru]

[It's a good thing they've already gone over the whole not really human thing.]

I was thinking of making tea, would you like some?

[grimreaping]

[ it had to be an offer of tea; nostalgia burns, but he nods ]

Yes... I'd like that very much.

[tokiokakeru]

[She slides out of bed and motions for him to follow as she walks out into the kitchen. Once there she fills the kettle with water and sets it on the stove.]

So, what's the real reason you're out roaming the city streets in the middle of the night?

[grimreaping]

[ heh ]

I couldn't sleep tonight, I suppose is the simplest answer.

[tokiokakeru]

Well, that makes two of us I guess. I almost thought I had fallen asleep when I realized it was you outside my window. 'There's no way that's Kid outside there,' I thought. You really startled me, hahaha!

[grimreaping]

[ her recount makes him smile ]

I really didn't anticipate being "caught" by anyone. People's sleeping habits vary quite a bit here.

[tokiokakeru]

Yeah, I suppose most people would be asleep around this time. What was keeping you up tonight?

[grimreaping]

[ pauses, but this is Makoto, so... ]

Homesickness.

[tokiokakeru]

Ahh, so it's that sort of thing.

[She sets up a pair of cups and pulls tea from the cupboards.]

Any reason in particular or just a general thinking about it?

[grimreaping]

The date.
