Regret 004; FOURTH WALL

[returninghope]

[The derp that he was, Zan'nen hadn't been paying attention enough to be warned about the sudden influx of residents. He hadn't really been eager to see how many of the drafted hadn't come back in one piece, so he'd holed himself up in his house again, until today.

But to come back to more people instead of less? This was just ridiculous. Cue Zan'nen elbowing his way through the sudden crowd, starting out with a polite: Excuse me. Then moving on to more: Move dammit! and: STEP STEPPING ON ME! until we come to: WATCH IT, IDIOT! finally accumulating in to one overly loud cry of frustration.]

WHY THE HELL ARE ALL THESE DAMN PEOPLE HERE?!

Nah. I don't mind.

[....] Won't you get tired?

[tinyjasmine]

Nope! You have to climb even higher where my family lives! [Gravity? Pshaw. B)]

[Reaching the eighth floor, are you figuring it out yet, Zan'nen?]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Are you sire he lives here?

[tinyjasmine]

Uh-huh, there's a number forty on the door, I don't know if he's there right now, though.

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

... Let's just go to my room then.

[tinyjasmine]

[Confused face, but she's not going to argue.] Okay...

[Clinging more tightly to his hand now.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Err, sit where ever you want, I guess.

[tinyjasmine]

[Kaori quickly looks around, her eyes wide as she studied the apartment... And immediately comes to the conclusion:] You need more color!

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Mmm...

... I'm fine with it like this.

[tinyjasmine]

... Why? [Something about him was screaming 'lonely' to her.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

It's a bother...

[tinyjasmine]

Really...? [Clinging to his hand again and staring up with those big eyes that say she knows there's more to it.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Mmm.

... Are you hungry?

[tinyjasmine]

Mmm, a little... [Suspicious girl is suspicious. But still clinging to his hand because he feels like he needs it.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

What would you like to eat?

[tinyjasmine]

Soup sounds like it'd be yummy? [Mommy and Daddy said not to trust strangers, but this is Rikuto! He was a nice guy.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Soup huh? Alright. Anything you don't like in it?

[tinyjasmine]

Asparagus! And bubble sprouts, they taste really icky! [She's making those puffy cheeks again.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

... Bubble sprouts? You mean Brussels sprouts?

[tinyjasmine]

Yeah, those! They're icky! And fried onion, too! Blegh!

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

So, in other words, you're a typical kid.

[tinyjasmine]

I am not! [Kick at the shin, yo.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Sh-, shut up! You say that, but I bet I'll be begging you to eat your da-, delicious vegetables later!
