[ic] things?

Jul 13, 2011 00:09

[Kazahaya's sitting cross-legged on his bed in the cabin. He's got two books open before him -- one a book of Spanish history and the other a dictionary. He's got a notebook in his lap, taking notes and occasionally doodling stick figures in the margins as he tries to understand what he's reading. Judging by the growing number of doodles over notes ( Read more... )

[sounds from outside: Rikuou's climbing the ladder to their room. it takes a long time, and once he gets there, he stands in the open door for a while. just watching him]

[he frowns at the page he's reading, flips to the front of the book to look at the map... and frowns again before looking up]

Do you know where Covadonga is?

u_jerk July 13 2011, 04:26:01 UTC

[--blinks]

No. --What?

[runs a hand through his hair]

There was a battle there in 722 against the Muslims -- the Christians won it, but... I can't figure out where it was in the country.

[comes in, closing the door behind him]

Who told you about that?

touch_sensitive July 13 2011, 04:43:59 UTC

Cesare-san gave me this to read. I... he grabbed me at the library, and I remembered him fighting someone that called him an infidel... [awkward flipping back to the page he was reading and shrugs] I don't think he really wanted to explain things so... [handwaves at the book]

u_jerk July 13 2011, 04:47:21 UTC

You okay?

touch_sensitive July 13 2011, 04:51:06 UTC

Yeah -- it was back at the library when I ... woke up. I... wasn't shielding properly, I guess. I think it startled him too. I just... feel bad about it... It made him really angry -- in the memory -- getting called that. I just ... want to understand.

u_jerk July 13 2011, 04:53:22 UTC

. . .

[sits next to him, and reaches out, touching the back of his head]

Yeah.

touch_sensitive July 13 2011, 04:57:17 UTC

[shifts into the touch slightly, relaxing some]

I guess I'll... just try to look it up tomorrow or something. [frowns] If I still can't find it, I could ask him, but...

u_jerk July 13 2011, 04:59:38 UTC

Does he know you did it?

touch_sensitive July 13 2011, 05:03:18 UTC

Yeah. I was dazed when it ended and asked him about it.

u_jerk July 13 2011, 05:06:55 UTC

[stroking his hair]

So long as that doesn't piss him off too, I guess.

touch_sensitive July 13 2011, 05:10:40 UTC

[shrugs]

I don't know if it did. He just... gave me the book, told me to read it, and walked away. I... don't think he really even understood what happened... maybe...

u_jerk July 13 2011, 05:15:48 UTC

Or maybe he didn't want to deal with it.

touch_sensitive July 13 2011, 05:18:42 UTC

[siiiighs]

Yeah, that's the other option.
