[ it's late - or early - depending on how you choose to see it. So you may not even hear this, as simple as it is. There's no video, and Kay hasn't been spotted around Ecruteak. That is, of course, because she's been sitting in her room in the dark, turning Little Thief over in her hands. And in the end, she only makes this post because she's ( Read more... )

[someone had been looking for her since he first caught wind of the network post. Kay is surprisingly difficult to find when she doesn't want to be found, so it takes him a while before he stumbles on her in her room]

... oi.

[he leans against the door frame, tone soft, and waits for her to take notice of him]

[action] yattagarasu February 14 2011, 19:04:39 UTC

[ Kay flinches at the voice-- just slightly, but then she raises her head and turns towards the doorway. She doesn't say anything, because this is Kaito and - like with Crow and Johan - she can't hide how she feels from him. If she tries to act casual, it'll just fall to pieces. ]

[even in the darkness, he notices the flinch, and it makes him hesitate, just briefly, before he steps into the room fully and closes the door behind him. his hands migrate to his pockets, and for a moment he just stands there, searching for the right words as silence continues to envelop them.

but he can't just stand there forever, so eventually, he speaks]

Do you want to leave for New Bark as soon as possible? [he can understand how she feels, why she might be hesitant, why she might be confused, but if he were in her position, he knows he'd want to see his father in person to make sure it was real]

[ she draws her gaze back down to Little Thief, before she gently tucks it into her pack and takes a deep breath. He gets it. She knew he would, but it's nice to have him say it first before she even has to bring it up. ]

I'll stay for the festival, but then I'll head out.

[action] bakaitoukid February 14 2011, 23:53:33 UTC

[he takes a seat next to her, hands still in his pockets, and nods in understanding]

Do you want to go by yourself? [normally he'd be sticking with her like hot glue, but this is a more... private matter. and the last thing he wants to do is intrude]

[action] yattagarasu February 15 2011, 00:05:16 UTC

[ Kay looks up at him then, and she knows she ought to say yes, because this is her father and he's normally dead and there aren't many people who've seen Kay without a smile.

But this is also Kaito, who understands how it feels better than anyone else. And Kay can't honestly say that going alone while she's like this is the best idea ever. ]

... No.

[action] bakaitoukid February 15 2011, 00:08:11 UTC

[he actually sighs a bit in relief when she responds in the negative]

Then I'll come with you. Johan and Crow, too. [keeping the mood a bit lighthearted, he continues] You can introduce us when we get to Violet.

[action] yattagarasu February 15 2011, 00:21:12 UTC

[ she manages a smile again. ] Are you excited to meet the original Yatagarasu?

[action] bakaitoukid February 15 2011, 03:26:31 UTC

Excited? [leaning back a bit and grinning] You bet!

[action] yattagarasu February 17 2011, 19:28:46 UTC

He might be able to give you some pointers.

[action] bakaitoukid February 17 2011, 20:44:00 UTC

I'd take any pointers I could get from a professional like him. [he actually means that too, which says a lot since he's usually very dead-set on using the skill-set he acquired from his dad]

[action] yattagarasu February 17 2011, 21:12:02 UTC

I'll ask him. I mean, I've got to explain everything first...

[action] bakaitoukid February 17 2011, 21:15:30 UTC

... are you gonna tell him what happened?

[action] yattagarasu February 19 2011, 07:01:32 UTC

Yeah. I need to.

[action] bakaitoukid February 19 2011, 07:08:04 UTC

[reaching out for her hand, hesitating, and then grabbing it anyway and giving it a squeeze]

Doesn't mean it'll be easy.

[action] yattagarasu February 19 2011, 07:11:38 UTC

[ she needed it; Kay squeezes her eyes shut at the same time as she squeezes his hand. Her voice is tight when she speaks again. ]

I'll never hide things from him. That's as good as betraying what the Yatagarasu stands for. I don't want to, but...

... Who tells their dad he's going to die? That he's never going to see his little girl grow up, or bring down the organization he was trying so hard to crush?
