[008] [voice/action] worker's compensation

[complexing]

[Touya wishes he could say he had been drafted and was recovering from his wounds--then at least he could tell people where he's been for the past two weeks. As it stands, he really doesn't remember much of anything aside from bright lights and the occasional person coming to feed him. Where he was, who he was with, and what happened: all of these things are blanks.]

[He stumbles out of the forest in the early afternoon, dressed in the clothes given to New Feathers, but he looks like he's been beaten up. His trek out of the forest was something out of legends. He must have run into every low branch, spiny plant, and mean squirrel possible. Though that really doesn't concern him right now.]

[Once he's out, he makes a break for his house, hobbling along but looking extremely driven. He opens the door far more forcefully than usual and calls for both Yuki and Yue. ...and no one answers.]

[He tears through the house, and when he finds that empty he tears through his journal. Nothing.]

Has anyone seen Yukito or Yue?



[Feel free to meet him on his way home, if you like! ♥]

[Touya's still booking it back to his house, stopping briefly to brush some gravel off his foot. He sees the person staring at him--she looks like she's a few years older than Sakura, but she still has a seriously intense stare for a kid.]

[He watches her for a moment before continuing on. Looking over his shoulder at her, though, causes his path to veer directly into a shrub. Which yes, he falls over. God, he's never been this uncoordinated in his life, what happened to him?]

[godbent]

[Hey she's sixteen physically!! Just a bit short but - Oh wow uh. Is that guy okay or not? She makes her way over to him, but keeps a respectable distance]

Hey!

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

[Six is a few years. Sort of. Not really, but Touya's like 6'SomethingRidiculous, most short young people are kids to him.]

[But more importantly, yeowch, that fall smarted. More scratches for his collection--and now this girl is yelling at him.]

Hey what? [He makes a face while he tries to get up. He's really not in a good mood.]

[godbent]

[Okay, bad mood on his face and it looks like he got more cuts. She sighs to herself before advancing a tad and offering the tall guy there a hand now that she's concluded he's not anyone she knows to be overly dangerous]

You need some help?

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

[Frustrated and upset as he is, Touya isn't to the point of taking out his anxiety on other people. Even if this girl isn't looking at him in what could be termed a 'friendly' way. He sighs and reaches out, annoyance pulling back into humbled expression.]

Yeah, thanks. [He takes the offered hand and uses it to steady himself before standing up.]

[godbent]

[Okay, good. And once he's up... he again is surprised by how CLAMP tall he is. Well, whatever]

Watch were you're going next time.

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

[...yeah, not 'friendly' at all. She does have a point though, even if she isn't saying it very nicely.]

I was trying to, but I think the Malnosso did something to my sense of balance. [Or to his sense of not running into painful objects. He sighs and looks at his elbow. Yep, he skinned it. Now he has a matching pair. But a skinned elbow isn't his main concern now.] I have to get home.

[godbent]

Oh, well, can you even make it back alright, given that?

[She says this lightly. It's not quite an offer to help, but]

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

Haven't keeled over and died yet. [He's not terribly enthusiastic about possibly falling a half dozen times between where they are now and House 60, but...]

Someone's waiting for me at home, so sitting around here isn't an option. [He hopes someone is waiting for him, at least...]

[godbent]

[SIGH] I was asking if I should take the time to escort you, jeez. Think a little next time!

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

[...what the.]

You, escort me? What are you going to do? Drag me along in a wagon? Jump up and down when I'm about to run into a low branch? [He bends over her to illustrate the extreme height and size difference. And feels no remorse doing it--because this girl is rude. Where was her mother, letting her child talk like this?]

[godbent]

[!!] You know I was going to make sure you didn't fall by way of walking next to you but if you're going to be like that then forget it! Jeez.

[Her face flushes a bit and he sighs, turning away a bit]

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

[Ha... this girl's reaction is just like Sakura's. Less flailing and foot-stomping, though. It does cause him to crack a smile.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you mad. I could use a hand, yeah.

[godbent]

[...At least he apologized. Turn] I'm Haruhi, by the way.
