Unfortunately for Hito, Asuka didn't forget about people he cared about. Especially not people he'd been traveling with for long periods of time prior to coming to an odd keep in the middle of who-knew-where run by a man with unclear motives, and especially not when they had become his second little brother. So when there was no response from Hito in the journal, when he'd finally finished talking with all of those that had responded to him, he'd made his way back to where his and Hito's rooms stood just one room apart ( ... )

Hito didn't even... he had no time!

When Asuka appeared, he had jolted, pressing himself toward the wall of his bed at the sudden appearance. And then before he could get out more than a strangled, "Don't do that...!" Asuka had hauled him to his feet. Hito would have been infuriated with just that. But the teleporting pushed him over the edge.

Hito exploded. "That wasn't funny! I was just fine in there, and..."

There was a moment where Hito just stood there, breathing hard through his nose, then a look of horror stole over his face.

His key.

Before he could even notice Asuka's problems, Hito threw himself at the door, jiggling the handle frantically.

Locked... he kept it locked! Because there was no way he would need it unlocked where just anyone would come in, and Hito would never be so careless as to forget to take the key with him ( ... )

The grin stretched across his face, even as Asuka nodded. "Yeah," he answered, still breathless. He'd backed out of the way almost immediately and was leaning heavily into the wall now, allowing it to take responsibility for holding him up as he recovered. "I did. You need..." huff, huff, try for a deeper breath but the lungs just wouldn't hold it "t'get out. You need..."

He still couldn't speak. Asuka held up a finger to signal Hito to wait, the other hand going to his heart as he bent forward, still trying to catch his breath.

This was much worse than it had been anywhere else. What was going on with him?

Hito was on the verge of summoning up a lightning strike -- his health be damned -- when Asuka bent over. Hito paused then, his hand dropping to his side from where he had lifted it and a flash of concern chasing away his scowl.

"I need what?" he prodded cautiously, now frowning slightly. "Asuka? You okay?"

He looked like he was about to keel over. Which would put a hitch in Hito's plan of murdering him at the moment.
