[Public video call]

Um, hello!

I have a question for my friends... [Fidget fidget.] Could Ashura live with one of you?

It's too cold to sleep outside now and I can't stay where I have been either anymore. [Gold eyes look a little downcast at this, but he tries to mask it away with a smile.] I've been really lucky so far and am so grateful though.

So now I need a place to live! Would it be okay to stay with a friend?

[Pauses and looks like he thought of something else suddenly.]

A-Also, does anyone have food that doesn't scream or try to bite you?

It makes me feel guilty that all the food seems angry, but I'm so hungry!

[Cue the loud stomach gurgle.]

[Attempted private call, and it took Ashura hours and hours to figure it out, but he still managed to screw it up and it is sent all over the network.]

Cassian... I...

Thank you. So much. I don't know how I could ever repay you for how kind you've been to me and and... [Has to stop to keep himself from sniffling] all you've done.

But Ashura will try to think of something, promise!

You can't stay outside. It's too cold! [Frown]

You should come stay with us. You can even stay with me in my room until we figure it out!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Eh? Really? I can stay with Max?

[mangandsleep.livejournal.com]

Sure. Anytime.

We're friends. And friends are like family. You don't turn your back on family.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm, I think so too! Friends can be your family, they are my family. [Firm nod.]

Can I come find you now?

[mangandsleep.livejournal.com]

Yes, now is good!

I'll head outside and look for you.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll head toward the mansions! Thank you, Max!

[mangandsleep.livejournal.com]

No problem.

[Grin] It's going to be awesome!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

I'll see you soon! I'll actually remember to turn my mirror thing off this time!


(( OOC: Did you want to do action tags, log or assume? XD ))

[mangandsleep.livejournal.com]

I'll be outside waving!



[ooc: whichever you want! Maybe we can backlog it so it'll count for both of us for the next AC. BAM. That's genius]

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

That Yasha guy hasn't come for you yet? I know I can't do much but I can help you find a place.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

[Way to remind him, Hideki. The child's face darkens and he looks away from the Dreamberry, feeling tears prick at his eyes.]

Yasha...

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

H-Hey! Don't cry! I'm sure he's looking for you, too! Uh-- Don't do that. Really, now...

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

But I don't think he can find me if it's been this long...

Maybe Yasha can't get here...

[Ashura's been avoiding thinking about this a while, so Hideki may have just opened a floodgate.]

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

I bet he's searching for you right now! You trust him, right? Then it might take awhile but he'll come for you. If I were me, I'd be doing everything I could! You don't want him to come and see you crying, do you? Come on, don't cry...



Um... So this Yasha guy is really important to you. What is he, exactly?

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

[Sniffles.]

I- I trust Yasha... [And it was true. Yasha wouldn't want him to cry either and he knew he would come for him. So the youth rubs at his eyes and tries to stop.]

Yasha is Yasha. He is the most important person to Ashura.

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

I don't know him but you really trust him so he must be a great guy. See? It's not so bad! Now let's try finding you a place, okay?

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

He's the best and really strong and kind.

A-And you're right. He'll find me. I know he won't give up until he does.

But one of Ashura's friends said he could live with them. Thank you though, funny man!

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll meet him someday! You'll have to introduce us.

Well if he's your friend... But don't go with any suspicious people! You never know what they might try to do. And my name is Hideki!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm, I'll introduce him to everyone!

Especially funny Hideki.

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

No, that's just Hideki!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Just Hideki?

Ah, I understand, Just Hideki! [Smile smile!]

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

That's not what I mean, either! Hideki! It's just Hideki! -- No! I mean, it is just Hideki! But not like that!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

[Just laughs and giggles and holds his stomach, it's so funny!]

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me this is how I'm gonna be known!?

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Ashura has to go meet Max now, so I'll talk to you later funny Hideki!

[Gives his mirror/Dreamberry a cute wave before carefully turning it off.]

[circus-knives.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. Just let me know when you find a place. I don't want to put you out if you have no where else to go.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

My friend Max said I can live with him and I'm sure I can still go to the onsen to see Fay sometimes too, so I'll be okay.

... I'll miss staying with you though, Cassian. Even if it was just at night.

[circus-knives.livejournal.com]

Okay, good. Make sure you're taken care of. It's too cold during the winter to sleep outside, even for a night.

It's not like we won't see each other again. You're welcome to come if you need a place for the night. I'll even try to visit you sometimes if you want.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm, Ashura understands. I'll stay inside and warm, promise.

I'd really like for you to visit, mm! Maybe we could go see that big city part together sometime soon?

[circus-knives.livejournal.com]

Make sure to get some warm clothes. The ones you're wearing aren't suitable for winter.

Yeah, sure. I'll need directions to find where you're staying. Is there anywhere in particular you want to go?

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Fay said he'd help me get some new clothes, don't worry!

It's one of those suuuuuper big houses in Espoir. Max called it a mansion. I just want to see lots of new things. I've never explored all the way out into the city.

[circus-knives.livejournal.com]

Alright then.

I still need to know which house it is. Unless you'd rather meet me somewhere instead. Neither have I. I've only ventured around the immediate area so far. Never had a reason to go out farther.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm, we can meet somewhere. I'm not sure which house it is yet, Max is going to meet me out front. But we don't have to do it right now. I should see the new place I'm going to live first.

Can Ashura call you to go later and then we can go see the city together for the first time!

[circus-knives.livejournal.com]

Yeah, call me once you've settles in and tell me where you want to meet. We'll figure out where we're going after.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm! I will!

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

You know our doors are always open to you, Ashura.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm, and I'll come visit lots and lots still, Fay! Because you make delicious food and are really nice.

We can go get Ashura clothes soon, right?

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

I assume you found a place to live then?

And of course! Just let me know when!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

I did! My friend Max said I could live in a mansion - that's a really big house - with him. So Ashura will still be in Espoir and not that far away.

Cassian said I have to get warm clothes soon, so whenever you aren't busy, Fay. Thank you!

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Ah, Max! I see! I know where you mean. That will be a wonderful place to live. I'm glad to hear it.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Do you know Max too? [Blink blink.] Fay really knows everyone!

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.] I wouldn't quite say that, but I do have a fair number of acquaintances.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Acquaintances...? [Struggles on that word, looking at him curiously.]

But anyway! That's where I'll be, so it won't be far away at all. I still want to go see Fay all the time.

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Of course you can bring Max with you when you do, if you like. I'll be more than happy to make dinner for both of you!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Yay! Max'll probably like that because he doesn't like the cooking at the house. He says Isabelle can't cook at all and it's scary and I can't eat it.

... though, I don't think it can be thaaaaaaaaat bad. [Clearly he's thinking about ignoring that warning.]

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, that sounds like such an energetic house!

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

I just hope... that they'll want me there. [His expression sobers just a little.] But Max said it'll be okay for sure.

I'm going to go look around lots, okay? Ashura will come visit Fay soon to tell you about it.

[fluorite-flux.livejournal.com]

I'm certain you'll be fine. I'll come visit you there as well!
