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?!

... 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!

[tinyjasmine]

[She would be complaining if she didn't find it to be fun. So Kaori will giggle happily, swinging her limbs as Zan'nen carries her away to the kitchen. No she doesn't notice the limp yet.]

No you won't, I'll eat all my vegetables like Daddy tells me to!

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Well good!! What kind of soup do you like anyway?

[tinyjasmine]

I like noodle and chicken~. Oh, and vegetable soup too. And Mommy makes the best cream soup! [Happily following him around~.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Enn. Chicken soup sounds good.

[tinyjasmine]

[Still following him around, in fact she's clinging to his injured leg.] Will you eat too?

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you don't think I'm going to make you eat it all yourself, do you?

[tinyjasmine]

Yay~! Can I help with anything? [Peeking at what he's doing curiously.]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Uh...

[tinyjasmine]

Uh~? [Imitating that little noise he made, waiting for him to say something.]

... Maybe you could go check to see if Spada is home.
