62nd Trill [Action]

[akumano_trill]

[Here sits Hijiri, huddled on the sofa in the living room of House 49, being uncharacteristically quiet. He's still in his pyjamas and hasn't even bothered to change or eat. He's just sitting there, staring off into the distance.]

... it's different each time. From a few days to a month.

[akumano_trill]

Mn. Though... [tries to smile a bit] it might just be a few days.

I... well, this isn't the first time but still... I... I know I'm being stupid but I can't help it... I can't help worrying each time that he might not come back.

[Have a Gippal knocking on kicking down your door]

Oi! Duo, Sheik!

[akumano_trill]

[looks up, looks down again, doesn't move from where he is]

They aren't here...

[Action]

[bikanel_brat]

[Blink, weird emo dude... huh, investigate!]

Oh.. So I guess they really did get taken. [He leans casually on the door-frame and looks the kid over] So who're you then? Don't think I've seen you around before.

[akumano_trill]

Mn.

[looks up a bit] Hijiri. Are you a friend of Duo and Sheik?

[This is Tsuzuki's first real experience with mallynapping, so forgive the cluelessness. :|]

Hijiri?

[action]

[akumano_trill]

[looks up a bit, tries to smile and fails spectacularly]

... Tsuzuki.

[action] stop lagging, lj!

[purpledemoneyes]

[That's his cue to sit down with him, worrying about why he looks so miserable.]

.... Did someone get kidnapped?

[action]

[akumano_trill]

[hides his face against his knees]

Sheik and... and Duo....

[rubyeyes_ryuhou]

[Ryuhou is awkward at this comforting thing, but he enters the living room carrying a plate with some toast on it and a mug of tea.] You should try to eat something. It won't do them any good if you're ill when they come back.

[akumano_trill]

[tries to smile a bit, isn't really successful] Mn. [holds his hands out for the toast and tea] Thanks, Ryu.

[And he stares at the toast and tea for a bit before taking a tentative sip of tea. He sets the mug on the coffee table and nibbles at the toast.]

[rubyeyes_ryuhou]

[Ryuhou stands awkwardly for a moment before sighing and sitting beside Hijiri.] They'll return soon enough. And we'll need to be ready for them when they do.

[akumano_trill]

Mn. I... just need a moment.
