[ It seems that Chane's fake husband, Heavy, is gone. He'd been droned before, but it wasn't wearing off this time. Similar to what had happened to Naoki, one of the original children that had lived in the house. There weren't any doubts in her mind that he'd either been sent back - or at least his consciousness had - or that he had been completely

[And guess who's waltzing up to her, with flowers in hand like the stalker loving, doting person he is]

[frivilocity]

[Sits down next to you with a smile and no concern for your surprise]

Chane~!

[stabs_trains]

!

[ aren't you creepy kind, Claire ]

[ How would he know where I was...? Maybe it was just luck on his part. He seemed to have fortune on his side all the time, after all... Understandably, though, she's pretty surprised to see him, and she stares at him with wide eyes. Then at the flowers. QUESTION MARK.

Is he...? ]

[frivilocity]

[He thrusts them forward, all smiles and charming glances]

For you, they're not as pretty as you are but, they come kinda close, doncha think?

[stabs_trains]

...

[ Chane takes them hesitantly, looking vaguely conflicted. It was odd getting presents from him... no, it wasn't, he said he loved her; it was sensible. But still, she found herself erring on the side of doubt. The plain truth was that she just didn't know how to deal with this kind of situation at all.

I don't know what I want...

After a moment, she nods at Claire in thanks. They were very lovely flowers, at least. ]

[frivilocity]

[He's pleased with her response for the most part--he knows it'll take time again, just like it did previously. But, he considers this fate, so it's nothing he can't handle. He reclines easily on the bench next to her and gives her a concerned glance]

Something wrong, Chane?

You seem like you've been sitting here a while...

[stabs_trains]

[ She looks at him uneasily for a moment, then looks back down at the flowers. Chane doubted that he'd be very sympathetic if she told him that her fake husband had left and it had rather disturbed her. Such details would probably just make him uneasy, even if their relationship had been nothing questionable... and she very much did not want to worry Claire more than she had to. He was becoming something of a lifeline.

Putting the flowers by her side carefully, she retrieves a small pad of paper and a pen, writing out a message for him:

"There is nobody that I know left in that house." ]

[frivilocity]

[He looks at the pad, then at her expression and true--he didn't like the idea of his fiancé being married in a sham marriage but still, he and his fake 'wife' in his home were on decent terms. He imagined it must've been the same]

...Take it you're all alone then?

[stabs_trains]

[ She gives a short, uneasy nod of her head. In one sense, yes - although it seemed her 'son' wasn't a drone, she did not know him. And truthfully, the house was filled with people, but for Chane, that was hardly more comforting. She was wary of having Claire take pity on her, though. Who knows what he might do... ]

[frivilocity]

[He leans back and nods himself]

That's two of us then, my son--well, the one I said kind of reminded me of you...he's been kinda quiet lately. Between you and me--I don't like it.

I mean, I don't like these fake people...it's kind of unsettling.

[stabs_trains]

[ Chane does agree with that. With a small nod of her head in agreement, she stares back down at her feet. She was introverted already, and the constant presence of the 'drones' was both irritating and disturbing - to say the least, drone!Heavy's advances were not appreciated, but again, she knew better than to tell Claire about that.

...If he is in the same situation, would it be so difficult to live there, instead? The idea was perfectly ridiculous, especially for her - moving in with a man that she hardly knew - or knew well? - she really didn't know. It was a desperate situation, she decided. He was a confusing man, to say the least, but at least he knew her boundaries, and though she was shy to admit it, as the only person she knew that linked her back to her real life, she appreciated his presence more than she usually would.

Thinking about it doesn't mean she quite wants to actually ask, though. Instead, she just... keeps staring at the ground, sighing inaudibly. How could this happen...? ]

[frivilocity]

Something wrong?

You seem anxious?

[He swept an arm around her as if it was the most natural thing in the world--it was to him after all.]

It's because we haven't gotten to sit and talk in a while isn't it?

I've been neglecting you, my poor Chane...I'm so sorry.

UWAH SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY, I was on vacation

[stabs_trains]

[ Chane stiffens up right away at that unexpected contact, shooting Claire a typical 'what are you doing' glare - but she doesn't move away from his touch, allowing him to keep his arm there. For now, at least. Now what she had been thinking slipped her mind momentarily -

- what's he talking about? She shakes her head, looking vaguely incredulous. Do not flatter yourself... ]

Don't swear it my girlfriend is in town so I'm not exactly all there :>;;;

[frivilocity]

[He can't help but laugh at her rather perturbed look she sends him back and well isn't his Chane just so cute today? Still, he moves his arm and instead uses it to come up with a thinking like pose]

You look real cute you know that?

But in all seriousness, it's nice to see you again Chane.

B|b

[stabs_trains]

[ Cute? Even her father never said that to her. She frowns helplessly out of habit, turning slightly pink. Chane didn't know how to handle a compliment like that anyway. ]

... ...

[ after thinking a moment, she nods in agreement.

...I am glad to see you, as well.

She was seperated from everyone else. ]
