☂ninth inning 『backdated to before people were blocking the portal;; action.』

[sempre_ridere]

[ oh hello! yamamoto's trudging his way back into the town, clothes moist from tripping & falling into the river earlier. going through the portal, he didn't find Namimori around him, or the warm, welcoming sound of his friends laughter. instead, he found himself somewhere nestled between the snow-capped mountains & next to a river (at some point

[decimi]

[ has been looking for Yamamoto for a day down, worried sick about him. Finally seeing him, Tsuna immediately hurries to him ]

Gao! Gao gao gao---

[ for some reason he was still not used to that noise...]

[sempre_ridere]

[ ..that noise is unfamiliar but that voice is not. he lifts his head up & there's a smile that spreads across his lips, mouth opening to speak-

oh but ..he doesn't want to bark at tsuna. so he waves at him & picks up his pace to meet him halfway. ]

[decimi]

[ tsuna points to himself and makes the sound again, then points to yamamoto as if to ask if the situation is the same ]

[sempre_ridere]

[ yamamoto blinks for a second, understanding what it was the boy was trying to say & he nods his head. there's a small hesitation before he opens his mouth

and lets out a bark. ]

[rossovento]

[ After finding Tsuna, he was sure that he'd find Yamamoto, too... but...

Still, when he sees him, all he does is let out a sigh of relief. ]

[sempre_ridere]

[ yamamoto would have walked past him if he hadn't lifted up his eyes from off the ground & spotted the storm guardian off to the side. he slowed his pace a bit before coming to a halt, removing his hand from the warmth between his arm & chest & giving a small wave towards gokudera's direction. ]

[rossovento]

You look like hell.

[sempre_ridere]

[ he just shrugs his shoulders, smile still apparent on his lips as if to say, 'yeah, i figured as much'. you'd look like hell, too, if you just hiked back down from the mountains in wet clothes for over a day with the winds fighting you every step of the way. ]

[ ted! yamamoto nods his head, a smile on his face as he opens his mouth & barks-
which makes him stop for a second. ted's been here the whole time, so he probably knows the whole situation already.. yamamoto points to his opened mouth. ]

Late to this party...

[torrenziale]

[Squalo had learned from Gokudera that Yamamoto was going through the gate, and when it became apparent the whole thing was a trick figured he'd see the other again. So that said, the swordsman is not so surprised to see his sparring partner/protégé/annoyance, but he is surprised at his condition. He gives the Yamamoto a once-over look and shakes his head.]

Wrong season for swimming, brat.

you're never late bb ♥

[sempre_ridere]

[ yamamoto comes to a stop, looking up from the ground & meeting eyes with squalo. he's glad to see you, squalo, really! but he's not glad that you have to see him looking weak & obviously freezing. but, he grins awkwardly, as if to agree with the shark's words, & shrugs his shoulders because there's nothing else he can do about falling into the river now. ]

Yay ♥

[torrenziale]

[Odd. No idiot laugh; no lame attempt at an explanation. Something's up, and he frowns a little trying to figure it out.]

Now that you're back, don't think getting sick is gonna excuse you from training!

[After a few seconds of indecision, he unwraps his scarf and tosses it at the freezing Yamamoto. He's not quite nice enough to give up his coat.]

...Here.
