[Yuuka had been sitting in her garden for quite a while since the Hotel event. She literally had not left it for days, save for necessities. That BOY, did something to Yuuka that she could not understand. Somehow his pathetic clawing for proper speech managed to produce something that set a smoldering pile of ash ablaze in the back of Yuuka's

-Eirin had a certain... affinity for the spirits of her patients. It was an important skill to have in her line of work. So of course she couldn't shake off that deep and driving feeling that something was very wrong. And her thought, firstmost, drifted to Yuuka...

When she found her, she honestly had no idea what to say. She was at a legitimate loss for words.-

[hop_toit_udonge]

... For you.

[convallariaceae]

No...what are you truly here for? There is more to it...there is always more to it.

[Yuuka seems to just slump a bit in Eirin's arms...as if she's just giving up.]

[hop_toit_udonge]

Not this time... I'm as surprised as you are, to be honest. I cannot lie and say this is merely a doctor's duty for her patient... or even that this is what a lover would do...

[convallariaceae]

Then what is it?

[Yuuka's tone sounds somewhat desperate again.]

[hop_toit_udonge]

... I cannot say for certain. I have no idea what this is... but I know I cannot simply be apart from you now...

[convallariaceae]

[Yuuka simply goes very silent and very still. She doesn't know how to respond to Eirin's behavior anymore. So she will just stand there, for as long as it takes Eirin to get sick of trying so she can move on.]

[hop_toit_udonge]

-You'll be waiting awhile, Yuuka. She's not letting go.-

[convallariaceae]

You don't make any sense...

[hop_toit_udonge]

I really don't... I suppose that's just the way things are.

[convallariaceae]

[It seems Yuuka has finally given up even further, and she lets her head slump to rest on Eirin's shoulder.]

You're simply foolish...

[hop_toit_udonge]

I make no arguments... I know I am... but I cannot help myself...

-She gently pets at Yuuka's hair.-

[convallariaceae]

[Yuuka's just going to sit there...with her head on Eirin's shoulder.]

[If she were a human...perhaps she would cry. However...that's not going to happen here.]

[hop_toit_udonge]

It's alright... I'm here... I won't be leaving, either. I promise...

-Just who was Eirin talking to?-

[convallariaceae]

[Just who WAS she talking to? Yuuka's slowly realizing what might be going on here...but she doesn't really seem to care.]

[Though, she still feels the need to say it...very quietly, no more than barely a whisper.]

I am not Houraisan...

[hop_toit_udonge]

None are more aware of this than I... but I will help you all the same... My words still hold true...

... I didn't think I was capable of being like this with another being.
