[While Zen doesn't hold any particularly strong feelings about Saya's disappearance, he knows that Shirayuki can't have taken it well. Her call only confirmed that

[ He opens the door, and there's Shirayuki, plopped down on the couch with the small Motz sitting next to her. She looks up at him, half in surprise and half so he can the tears clearly residing in her eyes.

And then, she runs to him, throwing her arms carelessly around his chest. Motz lets out a sad mewl in the background, but Shirayuki pay her no mind. ]

Hey, Zen.

[countrybeloved]

[He's a little surprised at that, but after a moment, he hugs her back.]

Are you all right?

[nogreenapples]

A...ah. [ She pulls away a bit, just to bring up a hand to rub stray tears from her eyes. ]

No, but I will be. Give me a moment.

[countrybeloved]

[He smiles softly.]

Take as long as you like. Just remember that we're here for you.

[nogreenapples]

'We're'?

[ Perking up, and looking behind him. ]

Did you bring Obi too?

[countrybeloved]

Ah, no, but he'll probably drop by eventually... I just meant that he's still here too, to support you.

[nogreenapples]

... How is he?

[ A pause. ]

How are you?

[countrybeloved]

I'm fine, and while I can't speak for Obi... I don't think he's the one who feels like crying right now, Shirayuki.

[Aka "Don't worry about us."]

[ 1/2 ]

[nogreenapples]

[ ... how could they not? Saya was gone. Gone forever. They can't even be at piece knowing she's all right.

She's dead.

But Zen and Obi don't know that, right? Saya had mentioned they didn't know everything. ]

It's... a bit more complicated then you think.

[ 2/2 ]

[nogreenapples]

-A-anyway.

[ She pulls away, attempting her best at a smile. Talking about it wouldn't make her feel better, so why sulk? ]

Come on in.

[countrybeloved]

[... Hmm? Somehow, Zen doesn't think she's talking about Saya's amnesia, but he can tell that she'd rather not discuss it.]

All right.

[nogreenapples]

[ She walks in, sitting down on the couch, then picking up Motz and placing her on her lap. ]

It's heartbreaking, really. Motz has been waiting and waiting for Saya to come home since she left yesterday.

I'm not really sure what I should do.

[countrybeloved]

[He sits down beside her, quiet for a moment, before he speaks.]

You... move on. That's all that you can really do, in this situation.

[nogreenapples]

I've never... [ She sighs, and Motz rolls over to nuzzle in between Zen and Shirayuki. ]

I've never really lost anyone this important to me. [ She turns her head over to Zen, picturing how it would be if he just up and left like Saya...

She looks back down. ]

... I guess I'm acting like how a child would, huh? Sorry, just... [ And here come the waterworks once again. ]

[countrybeloved]

[... Damn it, he really doesn't like seeing Shirayuki cry.

Placing an arm around her shoulders, he smiles softly again.]

No, you're acting like how people normally do to loss. Don't apologize.

[nogreenapples]

[ Motz shifts again, then gives up, jumping off the couch and sorrowfully walking over to her bed.

Shirayuki, on the other hand, shifts in closer to Zen, placing her head on his shoulder after a moment. ]

I know, it's... I don't know. [ Sher tuck her head closer to him, hiding her tears as much as her embarrassment. ] I feel like I shouldn't bother you with this stuff.
