12th Pesterlog // Reentry [video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[A young woman flips on the video feed. She has her back turned to the camera. Though she would never admit this, openly televising this feed took a lot more courage that she would dare admit...]...I understand that I had been gone for a time and wish to address anyone concreted by my sudden disappearance. Though I really have no intention of going

[HEY WHOA

Someone important actually returned...]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[It wasn't important with Ikkaku, but here...]

...when is your birthday?

[note_atem]

June fourth. Why? [That answer had no wait time at all.]

[maid_of_fthulu]

...and the year?

[note_atem]

With these years being different here and having been here for an entire one I don't remember anymore. Birthdays aren't important anyway.

[He's being awfully defensive.]

[maid_of_fthulu]

None of my business, I suppose.

[note_atem]

[An unsure and possibly awkward air fills over the feed. His look matches it before he looks away instead.]

It's not that it's none of your business. But it's no one else's business, either.

[maid_of_fthulu]

I understand. Some things are just better left unspoken.

[note_atem]

[He shakes his head.]

If it was really something you wanted to know, I'm not adverse to sharing. [Not with her, anyway. They've spent enough time together and AFTER SHE LEFT he doesn't like the idea that people will never really know him before they unintentionally (or otherwise) leave. But he tacks on-]

-With you. [Because frands is fine. Over a public feed is not.]

[maid_of_fthulu]

Honestly, I'm finding myself very uninterested in the idea. [mood boomerang]

I was mostly curious as there seems to be some uncertainty there.

In any event, I am pretty sure you would be put in jail for at least 3 months.

[note_atem]

[He shrugs. Easier that way anyway.]

You never know, we might repel each other instead.

[maid_of_fthulu]

Really? I thought we got along pretty well.

[note_atem]

The drive isn't well known for making sense out of real life.

[maid_of_fthulu]

Fair enough.

[note_atem]

It's nice to have you back. [A grin and he looks away.] ...you should smile more often.

[maid_of_fthulu]

I try not to at every opportunity. It is such a nuisance. People start expecting things from me. Like conversation.
