[Action Post]

[Hisoka can be found sitting by himself in the woods. His wounds from the Mallynapping have healed entirely. He's been in and out of the village a few times now, and while all the joy and happiness from the baby have done a lot to soothe his frayed nerves, he's still very upset - and good luck getting him to talk about it.]

[Sally had been wandering around the woods for some time now, admiring all of the plants and colors she'd never seen back home. She paused though when she rounded a large tree, seeing a boy sitting by himself. Taking a step back, she remained mostly behind the tree, choosing to watch him instead.

That expression on his face... he looked unhappy.]

[ooc: May Sally disturb him? xD;]

[Action]

[memorywaltz]

[He knows she's there - he can sense her emotions. He doesn't react negatively, though... he just keeps watching the river.]

((OOC: Of course~))

[Action]

[needlesnthread]

[She watched him a bit longer, he didn't seem threatning... Watching her step she moved from her hiding spot and walked over to him calmly, eyes glancing to the river quickly and then back to him.]

...Are you all right?

[Action]

[memorywaltz]

Fine. [He doesn't look at her - he seems fixated on the river. He doesn't recognize her voice either, though, and despite himself he's a little curious... who is it that's come to see him?]

[Usagi went for a walk, leaving the clinic in Lute and Julia's capable hands. She wasn't down or upset, perhaps worried, but all the hype about the baby was making her feel slightly lighter than usual. She even had a skip to her step, and was humming.

It's not until she notices Hisoka that she comes to a stop, her humming coming to a quiet halt. He didn't look too good. Then again, He hadn't for a long, long while.]

[ooc: Trying harder, doll? Well, If that's so, then I'll have Usagi come bug him. Is that cool? =D]

[memorywaltz]

[He senses her - it's easy for him to tell who's who. He moves a bit, perhaps as if he's thinking about looking back... but he doesn't say anything.]

((OOC: Totally cool, and I really am D: I don't want to drop him. I mean, I've dropped tags with Zero and Daisya lately! I never do that! DDDDD: So much fail. I'm trying harder with both of them. ^^;))

[themoonuplifts]

[She's quiet for several minutes, pondering if she should bother him or not.

In the end, She decides to bother him because that's what she does best. Plus, She can't leave her friend moping about. He just does it too much. So, She quietly walks towards him (even careful not to trip and cause herself to become Queen of Wailing).]

Hisoka?

[ooc: It happens to the best of us, dear! I'm sure you have other things to do! I do it all the time, if you've never noticed, and I don't even have an excuse! ♥]

[memorywaltz]

... Usagi. [He finally looks up, over his shoulder. She's the one person he'd allow to see how upset he really is.]

((OOC: Haha, thanks for being patient with me, doll~))

[lapis_waltz]

Hisoka?

[[ooc: I know it's an action post, but she really does want to talk to him, and the book could be picking up noises. If you'd rather she didn't, just tell me and this tag will disappear~ ♥]]

[memorywaltz]

... Lenalee? [He sounds surprised]

((OOC: It's perfectly fine ^^))

[voiced]

[lapis_waltz]

Yes. ...I just...I wanted to ask if you're all right.

[voiced]

[memorywaltz]

... mm. I'm fine.

[Colette's missing her friends, too. Zelos is home - which is a very good thing - but she never got a chance to say goodbye. Walter has been kidnapped. Oh, let's not forget that the Professor keeps avoiding talking about something.

She spots the lonely looking boy and slowly approaches him from behind:]

... Hello?

[ ooc; I did do it with Colette. There are times when it just becomes hard to play them. :( ]

[memorywaltz]

[He doesn't answer, but he shifts a bit as though he's looking over his shoulder at her. This is a new presence, and one that feels melancholy... which isn't a bad thing, really, given his own depression.]

((OOC: It's true. x.x And Daisya's so active, ha ^^; He sort of takes up most of my headspace, I suppose.))

[paraball]

[Colette forces a smile; it's something she's always been good at.]

Do you mind if I sit here, too?

[memorywaltz]

[She doesn't have to hide, he can sense her emotions - but he nods slightly, he understands]

If you like.

*has gone out to look for him and approaches slowly*

...Hisoka? What's wrong?

[Action]

[memorywaltz]

[At that voice he does look up, then looks back at the river]

... Hijiri. ... I'm just thinking.

[Action]

[akumano_trill]

*sits down beside him*

About what? Want to talk about it?

[Action]

[memorywaltz]

... he was gone, when I got back. I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye...
