HE IS JUST SHORT OF LEAPING FOR JOY, OBVSIOUSLY.notatruesmileMarch 20 2011, 04:13:24 UTC
[Fai's semi-blank expression stays in place as he hauls himself up onto the dock, ditches the coat he'd been wearing, and takes a towel to start rubbing his hair dry. After a moment, the feeling of being watched prompts him to turn his head to the side, his eyes still rather dull and hollow looking...
...And then his expression shifts with an almost startling abruptness into a bright (too bright, really) smile, because oh my, what's this? A Kurogane clone? This young man has the same sort of appearance, the same dark hair and humourless mien, seems to favour a vaguely similar sort of clothing, and he carries himself like a fighter; even if he hadn't had that sword thrust through his belt, Fai would've known the stoic-looking teen was a swordsman.
Which very possibly makes him dangerous--not that that matters to Fai. He's pretty dangerous himself, after all. So Fai's smile only widens a bit as he gives an expansive wave and calls out to Sasuke cheerfully:]Hello there~! I don't suppose you could tell me where exactly this place
( ... )
TRUFAX. AND I THINK THE RUSSIANS SCORED AGAIN THIS MORNING. B|his_lightApril 4 2011, 20:50:38 UTC
[Stiffly] I know what she's capable of. And I know that she's fine. [It's said with the same lingering irritation (at Fai), the same blankness, but there's no denying that there's less... tension, maybe, in these words.] She's safe, and she's here. She's not hard to find.
[And then WHUP, that wall's back up 210%.] I don't know where she is right this second. And I'm not about to lead you around looking for her either way.
OH NOES, ATTACKING FREE SPEECH THROUGH EL JAY MELTDOWNS!!!!1!!one!!11 << (DIS B *JAYNEUS* THUNKIN'S)notatruesmileApril 6 2011, 02:45:15 UTC
[The wizard pauses, tilting his head thoughtfully, and his eyes go a little wide with something that's not-quite surprise. After all, Sakura-chan does have that sort of effect on people, getting inside their walls, slipping through iron bars, melting icy barriers...he knows that much firsthand. ("You really are a good kid, Sakura-chan. You make even a guy like me, with no room to worry about others...hope that you'll be happy in the end.") Still, in his mind, Sasuke = Kurogane in sooooo many hilarious and entertaining! ways, and it took the Princess a little while to get through to Big Puppy, so...exactly how long has she been stuck here with this guy? 8|a
A second later, though, Fai's smile is back, though there's a hint of softness that wasn't there before, as well as a knowing sparkle in his eyes.]
...You know, Sasu-bun, for a second there, you really sounded like you cared if Sakura-chan was all right.
[HOW MANY FSCKING-- That just receives another flat, flat, pseudo-unaffected, and very flat look. With the voice to match.] I'm telling you what I know. [The and only that is implied.
[As many as are necessary, of course, Sasu-maru! ♥ Fai hangs on until Sasuke puts some srs effort into pulling away, then lets go when he deems the kid is most off-balance. Sasuke's a fighter, so the wizard doesn't expect him to fall on his face or anything like that, but even a little stumble and a quick extra step would be amusing from someone so SRS BIZNIZ.]
Right! And I'm just telling you what I know, too--and what I know is~ that even Big Puppies who like to growl and show their teeth whenever they get the chance still have their soft spots.
[Ah~ no no, it can't just have been his imagination! Because if Fai was going to imagine it, then Sasuke would've lost his balance entirely, faceplanted, and ultimately ended up in the lake somehow! Because if you're going to imagine something, it should be something really fun, right~? ;3
Aaaaaaand Fai will be Right There at his elbow the instant he finishes turning around, smiling cheerfully as if that stony expression is the most open and inviting thing he's ever seen. ...And well, after traveling with Kurogane for this long... |3]
Oh, it ABSOLUTELY is.notatruesmileApril 13 2011, 21:24:46 UTC
But it's a lot easier to find someone if more than one person is looking! And even if you don't know where she is right now, you do know this place better than I do.
[He can walk as fast as he likes, Fai will keep pace with him. ^-^]
So don't mind me, I'll just tag along for a little while! ♥
[Stiffly.] I'm not looking for her. And this place isn't big -- regardless, it tends to change. Even if I know the previous layouts, that doesn't matter when the areas shift from day to day.
[STILL WALKING even though he has the bad, bad feeling that this guy will not GTFO. B|]
/uses this icon forever lmao~ X'DnotatruesmileApril 19 2011, 02:00:11 UTC
[That bad, bad feeling? TOTALLY RIGHT. |3 GJ THAR, SASUKINS.]
Ah, a place that constantly changes! That certainly sounds like fun! At least you'll never be bored, right? But getting lost in a new place can be so scary! [Cue the draping of one long, still-damp arm across Sasuke's shoulders~ |D] So I think I'll stay with you for a while longer, Sasu-nyan! ♥ And if it's not that big, we might run into Sakura-chan on accident even if you're not doing your part in looking for her. If you're friends, I bet she'd like to see you again, too.
[SCREW THIS without even responding, he just pulls the Ninja Cheap Move: making a brief, one-handed sign and seeming to whirl-disappear out from under that arm -- and reappearing a good number of yards away in a tree, still easily visible from where he stands on the branch.
He just gives Fai the flattest of Flat Looks and turns to keep going. B|]
[Aaaaaand cue ICONFAIS & ACTION x 1000! LOTS of v. impressed clapping goes here!]
Weet-woo! That's a pretty impressive trick, Sasu-nya!
[And~ then he'll be hop-skip-jumping along after his reluctant guide. He's actually rather impressively agile, and if Sasuke sticks to the trees, Fai will probably join him. |D]
[At which point... Sasuke will speed up. >| But he's quick enough that he can be faster than most people without even looking like he's trying, which he does -- and if Fai insists on following him the whole way, he'll be eventually led back to the residential area. Don't you dare find out where I live, troll.]
[Fai is pretty fast, but if Sasuke's determined to lose him...he's gonna be lost eventually. But he'll follow well enough to be led to the residential area. OH BUT SASU-PAN, DON'T YOU WANT A HOUSEWARMING GIFT IN THANKS FOR HELPING A NEWCOMER OUT? 8D]
[And once at the residential area, he'll keep to the rooftops to try and shake Fai, Assassin's Creed style. But with less frantic dashing. NO NO KEEP YOUR STUPID JELL-O MOLD THINGS >|]
...And then his expression shifts with an almost startling abruptness into a bright (too bright, really) smile, because oh my, what's this? A Kurogane clone?

Seriously.
None.
You imagined it.

And then Sasuke turns to gtfo. B|]

All right then! Where are we going, Sasu-puu?

NO, this is not okay.
Far from it.]
I said I don't know where she is. Look for her yourself.
[And WALKING. He is walking.]
