[when the feed flickers on, the hand moves away from the screen to reveal something like a haphazard mess. the first thing you notice is a colouring book, child-like in quality. it's flipped to a page of the picture of an Ekans swallowing a Rattata whole -- the snake coloured purple painstakingly with a pencil crayon just a little off-screen ( Read more... )

don't humour him, but not really, excuse for cr is a go, he wants to find out, !video, he's really just a kid, don't make eye contact, ... there's a point?, pianos ftw, he makes no sense, all the cranes, !action, interesting things are fun, +goldenrod, thought for food

[How well-oiled are your door's hinges, Fuji? Because if they're not in perfect condition, you might hear a slight creak as someone nudges open the door--and a tiny, inquisitive nose peeks around to see what's going on in this room.]

[And in he comes, pausing in the doorway to survey the whole scene without advancing any further into the room.]

Ah. I heard a crash and though it might be prudent to investigate. [Pause.] Though I should ask--was my Vulpix just in here, by any chance?

[he squints down for a second, lampshade still clutched in his hands-- though even at this awkward angle, he manages to make the motion look fairly elegant.]

There may be reason to think that she might've been. Why?

[The fact that he doesn't roll his eyes at that is a testament to Yagyuu's extraordinary sense of self-control.]

Because she just ran past me a moment ago at an extraordinarily frantic pace, which generally tends to be indicative of guilt of some variety.

[But then, a slight frown as he tries to figure out what exactly it is that Fuji's doing on the chair. Because it is Fuji, so there's no way of ever being certain, but...]

...And would you care for some help with that?

[he looks from the lampshade, then to Yagyuu and back again, contemplative. then, as though pondering--]

You know, I think you might just have the required inches.

[he says this as he clambers down from the chair, sweeping cranes aside with his feet to find a bare patch of floor to tiptoe on. conversationally--]

She didn't try burning anything down on the way, did she?

In her haste, I think she quite forgot she's a Fire Pokemon at all. But I suspect she's headed for Vampa, so I don't foresee her instigating any grievous damage in the near future.

[Which says nothing of the burnt crane he's just spotted, or the Raichu inspecting it. But he doesn't see any reason to mention that, either, as he holds out his hands to accept the lampshade.]

Would you care to tell me what happened?

[however, once he gets on even footing, he makes no move towards where Yagyuu is currently standing. rather, he tucks the lampshade under his arm and pockets his hands, rocking back on his heels as he does so. disregarding Yagyuu's question, he answers directly to the first part of the other boy's statement.]

Hard to say. At the rate things are progressing, I'd suggest stocking up on fire extinguishers.

[the Raichu on the bed huffs and sits up, tail curling behind him into the shape of a perfect question mark. a hum, and Fuji holds up the lampshade.] Hold this?

[And that earns Fuji the slightest of frowns, because while he really should have anticipated that something as simple as offering assistance couldn't possibly be easy with Fuji Shuusuke involved, that doesn't make it any less irritating when it happens.]

What makes you say that?

[he tilts his head, and looks over to the Raichu and his burnt craneon the bed. truthfully--]

The potential of fire.

She won't burn the house down.

[The implication here is not so much she wouldn't do that as it is she knows the dire consequences she'd face if she did. Baby of the team or not, he trains his Pokemon with firm standards in mind.]

Ah, did she ruin one of your cranes? I'm terribly sorry.

[the certainty makes him want to laugh-- sends gears spinning of how he can make it to the contrary. wouldn't it be interesting, to see Yagyuu's reaction after he wakes to singe marks on the front door.

but he thinks he already knows what the reaction might be, and no matter what the fox symbolizes... he toys around with the idea for a split second, before filing it away for later perusal. rather, amusement--]

You know, I couldn't forgive you. [a pause, here. he looks over to the Raichu on the bed.] And the one who could wouldn't want to.

I assume that's solely because forgiveness isn't yours to extend, and not because you're particularly displeased with me.

[But he's frowning a little at the Raichu; Pokemon may be difficult to read at times, but he's fairly sure he can interpret the cause for this one's distress with certainty.]

No, he only wants his crane back, doesn't he?

Mm, you wouldn't be wrong if you assumed so.

[at the mentioning of the crane, the Raichu's ears tip forward and his tail lashes out like a distraught yo-yo. the crane, however, remains burnt.

Fuji shrugs, nonchalant, but his eyes follow the bobbing of the tail, before darting back to focus. he flashes a quick smile.]

They're very much like children that way, aren't they. [a slight gesture to the cranes with the tilt of his hands.] Eighty others couldn't compare.

Precious things are rarely replaceable. I suppose I can hardly blame him for being reluctant to make amends.

[And now his glance comes back to Fuji, because statements with layered meanings like that one rarely go past without further comment, and there's no telling which direction this conversation might spiral into now, knowing Fuji and his whims.]

[and here, he merely smiles back-- taking in the glance with a tilt of his head. there's a gauging look, there. he'd wonder what the other is searching for-- but he thinks he knows.]

On the other hand, lampshades are.

[replaceable, that is. he holds the lampshade up, just a tad rueful.]

Assuming one is tall enough to reach it, that is.

[Because of course, he can't resist that light jab at Fuji's height (or lack thereof) after that casual denial of his offer of assistance a few minutes earlier.]
