彡 004 - I'm a slow motion accident. 彡

[tugs a little on the new curtains hanging in the living room, even quirking a half-smile]

Hn, turns out the fox's ridiculous robes are good for something.

[may have used said robes to make curtains for the bay window as there really isn't much else to do in Youko's apartment. He'd read through all the books he could find, learning little about

Comments

[vi952]

Decided to use his robes as curtains after all?

[Is still rather pale from his almost fatal blood loss last night, and has most of his chest bandaged up.]

[subzero_inferno]

Idle hands and all that.

[appraises the Contractor]

You look like hell.

[vi952]

I'm sure he loves how useful you are around the house.

[Shrugs.]

Went into another trance like before. What with being a Moratoria and all.

[subzero_inferno]

Sadly, I'm afraid he doesn't agree... Though the view is quite lovely.

[smirks]

Who'd you maim this time?

[vi952]

Is that so?

[Another shrug.]

Got shot by my doppleganger. Don't remember much else, until I woke up bleeding to death in a park.

[subzero_inferno]

You never caught him after a shower when you two lived together?

[stretches, wincing as the act tugs on his stitches]

Don't exactly play well with others, do you?

[vi952]

Never really paid enough attention.

[Pats his own chest, where there are stitches as well thanks to Yukimura.]

Never. I'm a good Contractor. It's the Moratorium in me that doesn't play well with others.

[subzero_inferno]

Fair enough.

[smiles crookedly for just a moment]

How's your lover taking it?

[vi952]

Yukimura takes it like he always does. With support for me.

I would have died if he didn't find my bloody, entranced self.

[subzero_inferno]

[sits quietly, biting his lip]

You're lucky.

[vi952]

Lucky?

[subzero_inferno]

[speaks softly, avoiding Wei's eyes]

To have someone who cares about you.

[vi952]

It's not easy to find someone like Yukimura. I never had anyone much like him until now.

[subzero_inferno]

My sister cared about me like that... [trails off, a stricken look crossing his face for a moment before he recomposes his face back into a blank slate]

I had a lover of sorts back home. We weren't like you & the samurai though.

[vi952]

Sister?

[Watches him, noticing that look.]

You had a lover too? I'm curious.

[subzero_inferno]

[ignores the sister question, his chest tightening just thinking about her]

It was the fox from my world.
