[ It's the middle of the night, and someone's not sleeping. But there are light footsteps on the rooftops, and a whisper of black cloth trailing just along the edge of your window as someone's checking up on you. Why tonight? You might have to ask, or guess. ]

[ OOC: Dated to the night of the 19th. Kid is looking through windows like a

[ well, maybe it wasn't the right time to look out his window while getting up to get something to drink. ]

-- Whoa!

[heartnotation]

[ he's going to look over his shoulder to see if he woke up his roommate or not. looks like he didn't. ]

Um... may I help you?

[grimreaping]

I didn't mean to startle you.

[heartnotation]

Ahaha, I think anyone would be startled to see you so suddenly this late at night, though. [ he hasn't checked the time yet, but judging by the color of the sky... ]

What are you doing out here, anyway?

[lightcharms]

[Staring back at you from one of the open windows is a blue penguin. Who promptly flips out and tumbles off the bed shrieking "PIP PIP LUUUP" as it fires off a couple of relatively harmless bubbles from a Bubble Beam attack]

[grimreaping]

[ SO NOT EXPECTING THAT as Kid jumps in the window and attempts to grab the penguin before it wakes up the whole household! ]

[lightcharms]

[sound of something breaking in the kitchen, followed by running footsteps as the door slams open]

Piplup! Wh--

[Spotting Kid holding her pokemon, while her pokemon flails and continues to release more bubbles]

--thief!!!

[TEAM ROCKET!!]

[grimreaping]

What?

[ this is going downhill very quickly ]

Make it stop... bubbling!

[Ruca doesn't seem to notice anything, while he's reading a really thick book.

...And if one will take a good enough look they might notice that there's a lot of books in Ruca's room actually... Just as expected from a bookworm.]

[grimreaping]

[ Kid stops for a moment, just resting lightly, because that kind of peaceful scene is exactly what's making him feel better at the moment. He needs to see a city where people are calm and orderly and Ruca reading a book exactly fits that bill. ]

[Ruca sighs a bit, looking away from the book.

The truth is that after his best friend - Spada left so suddenly, Ruca started to feel even more homesick than usual.

As he thinks about home again, his gaze wanders to the window and...]

---?!

[Noticing the dark figure outside the window, makes him jump... which causes the thick book he was reading to fall on the floor with a loud thud.

It is quite a relief he’s living in such a big castle... because if he wasn’t, the noise might wake someone up.]

[Hard to tell if it's ridiculously late at night or ridiculously early in the morning. Asch hasn't gone to bed yet, and instead is seated at a desk with a lamp turned on and directed at the wall. The window's slightly ajar to let in the night air because Asch hates feeling confined, even when it's his own choice to be so. The corners of the desk are scattered with books and maps and charts. Asch himself is slumped slightly forward, massaging circles in the side of his head while his pen continues to scrawl fonic letters across a page that is already two-thirds full.]

[The pen stops abruptly and Asch's attention flicks to the window. He straightens in his chair. Did he hear something? Or was it just a draft? No, it's something.]

I know you're there.

[He suspects it's Sync.]

[grimreaping]

[ A brief reflection of light against yellow eyes, and Kid gathers himself to slide away from the window, not interested in talking with Asch and intending to be satisfied by knowing the redhead is relatively calm and occupied. ]

[claim_my_place]

[Yellow eyes? Odd. And too tall to be an animal. Asch rises from his chair and paces across the room in order to peer out the window. Although, if Kid's in a hurry to leave, he'll have plenty of time to make an escape in the moments it takes Asch to cross the floor.]

[grimreaping]

[ Kid retreats halfway up the vertical face of the building, clinging to it with no obvious footholds unless he's standing on the shadows themselves -- far enough to be out of reach, but curious to see who Asch thought it was ]

[peacenguns]

[ It easy enough to say that this little guy is still awake, now that the absence of his roommate has become more apparent to him.

So when the glimpse of a dark figure catches Suzaku's eyes, his attention quickly turns to the window. Alert and full on military biz, he crept towards the window and slides it open.

Well, hello there strange figure. ]

... Kid?

[grimreaping]

[ Kid is sitting lightly on the ledge, cloak drifting around him like a living thing, looking up at the night sky. ]

Good evening, Suzaku.

[peacenguns]

[ With a small huff of air escaping his lungs, Suzaku positions himself outside of the window to sit at its edge. Giving a nod to the other male in greeting. ]

Can't sleep?

[grimreaping]

[ immediately busted gdit ]

No, I could not. Too much on my mind, it seems.
