Gestirn 008 [Video//Accidental]

[It's morning, and Alfons has crept into the kitchen. Yuki's fallen asleep in Alfons' room again and, rather than wake the boy up to make him food--which he should do, and which Yuki will likely yell at him that he should have done...--, he's gotten up do to it himself. He sets a small pot of water on the stove and is now digging through one of

What's the matter, blondie?

[He still looks shaken. If he wasn't so freaked out, he might even think to try and hide this, just like he hid his illness. He's smart enough to do it, to get by while faking that he can read with only those closest to him knowing that he can't. But, he's too shaken up to even think that far ahead, so he replies truthfully.]

I-I cannot read...

Ya can't read? Nyuk Nyuk...

Well that ain't so bad! Reading is boring anyway. It's more useful to just DO!

[He actually twitches a little at the... insensitivity, of that. There's Hiiro's level of bluntness, but this...]

[Alfons hears Yuki, but barely acknowledges him. He seems to startle for a second when he first hears the boy's voice, but then goes still again. He's just... staring at the back of the porridge box, as if willing the text on the back to make sense.

Anything but that... Please.]

[Alfons moves when Yuki touches his arm, but it's delayed, a few seconds late. He finally moves his gaze from the box up to Yuki's face and his eyes look dim and frightened.]

I-I cannot... I cannot read the vords...

Welcome back.
You're Fletcher's friend, correct?

[Video; he's just gonna keep pressing 'that red button', so everyone gets video]

[Food's on the stove now, so he's sitting at the table now. He blinks up and nods, still looking pretty shaken up over what he's just learned.]

Ja.

[Return Video] No problem, 01's slightly self concious after Ai posted about him thats all lol

[Hiiro switches to video then, as stoic as he is he's not rude, he was raised a proper soldier as well as gentleman. His face, once more as described bares no emotion on it while he studies the other young man on the screen.]

They took something from you.
[That much was evident since, you know, people who show emotion would more than likely be happy to be alive if they were whole people coming back. Blunt and to the point as always, he gets to the point of his next query.]

What was it they took?

[Alfons appreciates the bluntness, the lack of emotion. The boy hates being coddled by strangers, hates it when people see him as 'weak' and try to 'make the pain go away' by smothering him. If only more people would treat him like that when he's like this...

When he speaks, his voice is quiet and still slightly hurt.]

Vords... [Nods at the porridge box that's sitting on the table, just out of his reach. Just out of reach, like the words...] I cannot read.
