[021 - Soubi Agatsuma - audio]

[wants_ur_ears]

[Hey there, Facility. Soubi's not comatose anymore, in case you couldn't tell by the dry-heave retching over the network. At least he's not subjecting you to a video of it. That's... like a gift, right?

There's a somewhat disgusted sound from the fighter, and he swallows hard as he turns back to the 'berry.]

How long was I out this time?

[In case you weren't expecting it here comes a Ritsuka to barrel you over with a really tight hug. HE'S FUCKING MISSED YOU!]

Don't do that again!

[AGH. Oh, christers Ritsuka, please be careful of that puddle of vomit by the bed. You might slip and rupture a butt muscle. No one wants that.

But he's quick to wrap those long arms around his sacrifice, to reach up and stroke the boy's hair and just enjoy the relief that it is to have the boy in his arms. Also trying to angle his head away so Ritsuka doesn't get blasted with his pukebreath.]

I'm sorry. Are you alright?

[It's ok. He'd just break his tail and have to splint it.

Ritsuka's hugging him so tightly that it would be hard to not realize that everything in the boy's life is wrong right now.]

They took Sherlock and Mister Watson away.

[Soubi is silent for a long time. Even if Watson hadn't been the same when last he saw the man, even if had hurt to talk to him then, Soubi still wanted John around. He'd been a good friend and something of an anchor for Ritsuka. A parental figure, in place of the father the boy had never really had back in Japan. At length, Soubi sighed heavily and fell back with Ritsuka in his arms. He couldn't sit up anymore. The dizzy spells were getting the better of him.]

I'm sorry. [Soubi repeated, swallowing hard around the words.] ...I'll miss them. Maybe they'll come back?

[linkingmemories]

What's the last thing you remember, Soubi?

[wants_ur_ears]

I'm not sure. Ritsuka said I was gone for three weeks...

Are you alright? [Soubi sounds concerned.]

[linkingmemories]

That seems about right...

I'm fine. I was going to ask if you're alright.

[wants_ur_ears]

Don't worry about me. Just waking up from that, it makes me feel sick.

Ritsuka brought some very nice paints back from F3 for me. You should come paint with me again soon.

[memorizethefire]

A while. Haven't seen you in a few weeks, man.

[wants_ur_ears]

That's what Ritsuka said too.

He said I missed an F3 trip. How did that go for you?

[memorizethefire]

Pretty boring. One of the most boring, I think. Just a lotta new people, nothing to fight except the place itself.

[wants_ur_ears]

The place itself?
