[Tenth Stanza]: [Accidental Audio]

[eclipsedonmyoji]

-ke. ... please come out?

[silence, followed by knocking]

It's been days, Dai.

[silence]

They want to talk to you...

I know.

Then come out? When was the last time you even ate anything?

[silence]

[sound of a hand slamming in to the door]

Fine! Be stubborn then!

I can pick the lock if you're going to force me to make you eat.

[lotsoftitles]

I know you didn't. People rarely do, but that doesn't mean you don't deal with it either...

I mean, getting mad is part of being human.

[eclipsedonmyoji]

Yeah, well, this doesn't exactly allow for an overabundance of negative emotions...

[lotsoftitles]

Now it doesn't.

But maybe with some training?

[eclipsedonmyoji]

I was training.

[lotsoftitles]

I mean with a teacher. A real teacher.

[eclipsedonmyoji]

What do you mean? There's no onmyoji here.

[lotsoftitles]

No, but there's plenty of people with similar powers.

[eclipsedonmyoji]

Maybe... I don't know. I'm not even sure why it does this to me...

[lotsoftitles]

Well, we could see if someone could tell us.

[eclipsedonmyoji]

Mm... maybe later... [buries his face in the pillow] I just wanna sleep right now...

[lotsoftitles]

You sure you can't eat anything?

[eclipsedonmyoji]

Yeah. I'd just throw it back up again...

[mumbles, quieter now] I'll try again when I wake up...

[lotsoftitles]

...okay. I'll leave the tray here for now, okay?

[eclipsedonmyoji]

Mhm... [already half asleep again]

[lotsoftitles]

[Leans over and kisses his cheek.]

Hope you feel better soon.

[And goes to leave. Though still worried, but no reason to make Dai feel bad too.]
