As he walked down the hall, Fuji said a silent prayer, hoping that Yuuta-chan would step out abruptly, if only to ignore him.
He sighed, traces of a hollow smile tugging at his lips - the best mask he could ask for. It was not the time to be overwhelmed with nostalgia. The mother hen was waiting, with a task on hand. His friends' safety was at stake.
He couldn't afford to lose anyone else.
The kitchen was surprisingly empty. Habitually, Fuji reached for the primitive tool box, carrying it in his right hand. Some planks would be nice now.
It was a while before the tensai located Oishi, pensive before the window. "I found the toolbox," Fuji said softly, as if afraid to disrupt the other boy's train of thoughts.

"Hopefully." Fuji repeated with a soft smile. Slender fingers curled around the edges of rough wood, tightening just as Oishi's voice rang out, before quickly relaxing again. "Ah, I -" For a lengthy second, Fuji remained silent, contemplating. There was no need to make Oishi any more worried than he presently was.
"I'm fine." He heard himself say with a perfectly normal tone. He was getting better at this. "Now, where shall these boards go, hm?"

Scooping up Karu-chan in his arm, he idly made his way downstairs. The plants didn't attack kids and he was aware of the fact that he belonged to that category, so really, he was safe. And if he understood it correctly, his presence might actually help in warding off the killer vines.

"Ah." He hadn't really thought about it yet. "Hm, well it might damage the inside of the house to put them up inside, but that would be a lot safer than going out there..." He took a moment to glance out the window at the scene of the town.
It was then that he sensed another presence. Tearing his eyes away from the window, Oishi was greeted with the sight of the young tennis prodigy. He frowned. Even if the plants seemed to be avoiding all of the children, he didn't want to take any chances. Somehow, though, he felt that he wasn't going to be able to get Echizen to listen to him.
