[Ugh. After being stripped of everything and stuck in the boring whiteness of doom, there were suddenly sirens going off that were driving Tsuna nuts. It didn't take long to figure out why, because suddenly they were landing somewhere and OH MY GOD WHAT. The brunette is at his window, eyes wide as saucers.]
G-Gokudera-kun! Somehow-! We're....we're on mars!
[The one event that would have been cool to see and Gokudera...can't. Ugh.]
Madotsuki was right, then.
[He manages to pry his eyes from the window and looks at Gokudera.]
Madotsuki?
She's a girl who lives here. This is based on something she dreamed.
Oh. One of Gokudera-kun's friends then?
[James and his conversation plays in the back of his mind. Gokudera-kun is meeting new people and he hasn't really yet. Tsuna looks back out the window.]
[Gokudera shrugs and slides off of the bed to make his way over to Tsuna slowly.]
I don't know about friends, Juudaime. [He manages to get over to Tsuna's side without much trouble.] She said there'd be a hole, and something down in it.
[Tsuna moves a bit subtly to make the distance shorter for Gokudera. Because he had to go and be blind and worry his bossu. T_T]
Did she say it was something we should avoid?
She told me there's nothing dangerous here. But what she described in the hole seemed to bother her.
M-Maybe we shouldn't go outside then.
[His voice shakes a bit.]
[Gokudera frowns a little, concerned.]
It's up to you, Juudaime.
[And now he's hearing Hibari's leering in the back of his mind. So easily pressured Tsuna. Swallowing, he feigns a laugh.]
We'll just step outside. Then you can say you were on Mars, Gokudera-kun!
[And hopefully we won't....die or something.]
[So little faith, Juudaime. orz]
Heh. Yeah, you too, Juudaime.
[Always. orz.]
Ah is it...ok for me to help you?
[Awkward oh god there will be touching. OF ELBOWS. We might have to change the rating.]
[He smiles a little and shrugs again.]
Just tell me if I'm going to run into anything, and I should be okay.
[Tsuna nods out of habit, but then remembers Gokudera can't see that. Ah hah. It takes getting used to.]
Sure, Gokudera-kun. Let's head out.
[And they start walking to the doors of the mansion.]
[It helps that there's nothing to run into. orz Once they're out in the rocky Mars terrain though, it's a little bit more difficult for Gokudera to get around.]
[Tsuna stays close by, ready to help if Gokudera stumbles or something.]
What do you think, Juudaime?
[Tsuna rubs the back of his head nervously.] Ah. Well. It's different. It's not really like I pictured it.
[His eyes catch the hole that must be the one they should avoid. He won't make verbal note of it.]
We can go back if you want, Gokudera-kun.
[Except as he goes to take a step, he trips and falls flat on his face.]
[Gokudera blinks in alarm.]
Juudaime?! Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm....
[His face falls in horror.]
HIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!
[You have to do better than that, you're right hand man can't seeeeee.]
What is it, Juudaime?
[Despite his own reassurances that this place wouldn't be dangerous, Gokudera's still reaching for the dynamite in his shirt.]
M-My ring! My sky ring just fell down the hole we're supposed to avoid!
[You can hear it click down each stair.]
[Gokudera frowns. That's...actually important.]
I'll go down after it, Juudaime.
Gokudera-kun you can't!
[Cue panic in his voice.]
I'll be right back. Wait for me.
You shouldn't go down alone, Juudaime. I'll at least go with you.
Al-alright.
