[He sits beside him, as artfully lazy in his movements as ever, and pulls off a fluffy bit of cotton candy and offers it to Yuca. Don't you dare say no--in fact don't say anything, just put it on your tongue, he seems to say.]
Look what I found. A bush that sprouts candy floss.
[Yuca leans forward slightly, nibbling a little on the cotton candy. He can't taste it, of course, but it's- nice. To be like this. Company helps, sometimes.]

[Truth be told, Negi noticed Yuca sitting there long before the feed went over the network. He didn't even see it. But he knows that, with the event ending, Yuca's lost that happiness that he had. And Negi knows that Yuca is probably not in a particularly happy state of mind.
So, after several minutes, Negi is bringing mama Yuca a cup of soda, with a straw. Some sort of clear, citrus-flavored type. He hands it towards him, without a word.]
[One of the times Yuca blinks, he'll find Al sitting next to him, just silently looking up and watching the stars, as if he's been there for some time. Silent and companionable.]

...what is this?

[Negi gives him a smile, and takes a seat next to him, pulling his knees up to his chest, watching.]

[He doesn't seem to really get it. But he takes a sip anyway, because it's warm.]
Negi. I remember your voice.

Do you know where you are?

[He touches Al's fingers curiously, as if he can't quite believe that they're there.]
