[For the most part, Touya's been pretty good at avoiding enemy attacks and dealing with the rooms in his house turning into the inside of a train, a swimming pool, an open field with mountains, and so on. It was a little aggravating, but there were some nice places for walks and serving dinner on the couch (due to the dining room being a race track) meant after-dinner snuggling. He was taking it all in stride.]

[A few days in, however, Touya gets his own special taste of Battle-Dome-Flavored wrath. He's on his way to take a look at what's popped up in the item shop when a pit opens up right under him, next to the fountain. The ground literally cracks and Touya finds himself sliding down a nearly sheer cliff, landing him at the bottom of a modestly narrow space. As he's gathering his bearings, he swears he sees a woman's face disappear into the side of the pit.]

[Everything has come out of Touya's messenger bag, including his journal which has started recording after hitting the ground. Touya gets up and starts trying to collect his things and figure out a way out of the pit... when something lands on his head--and bleats.]

[Touya stares at a stuffed sheep that has fallen out of the sky and landed in the pit with him. Did some kid toss it in after him in an attempt to 'help'? Looking up only confirms that there are more coming. Three, four, and suddenly they're coming down in droves. Touya is knee-deep in bleating stuffed animals, and more of their fluffy brethren are threatening to bury him. Fishing around blindly for his journal costs him a minute or so, and then he's nearly up to his shoulders in the unrelenting hail of fleecy magic threatening to smother him entirely. Trying to climb on top only compresses them, and results in the sheep-downpour reaching tempestuous proportions. What was this, Touya didn't even...]

Help! I'm in the... [Dear God.] --sheep pit...!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Touya smiles briefly, knowingly, and looks back out at the town.]

I know you wouldn't. I'm just happy it was you.

[It doesn't really take him that long to fly from the plaza to the house, though as Yue slows and starts to descend he can't help a faint pang of disappointment that it's already over.

Not that he's about to say anything about that, mind. Even if there's perhaps the faintest hint of pink staining his cheeks at the comment.]

I should probably go back and make certain nobody else falls into that trap.

[Of course he should. Yue was a guardian, and oversaw half of the Clow Cards. If something was impersonating them, Touya couldn't see Yue turning a blind eye. It's disappointing, obviously, but Touya will just have to wait.]

You'll be back soon, right?

[Yue settles lightly to the ground, wings folding only halfway as though he's remaining ready to go again at any moment.]

I can't imagine it would take long.

Okay. [Touya nods a little.] What do you want for dinner?

[Have a very puzzled look, Touya.]

I'm certain Yukito will eat whatever is offered for dinner.

No requests, then? [Yue, they will have this conversation until somebody dies.]

None that I'm aware of.

[Have a stare, Yue. Nothing intense or disappointed... just a waiting stare. Hopefully that will get the point across?]

[He stares back for a moment, then turns away with a slight flick of his wings.]

I should go before it catches someone else.

Alright. I'll go start dinner. [He turns to go back in the house.] But if you think of anything, tell me when you get back.

[He isn't planning to eat any of it, but rather than try to argue he simply gives a small nod before taking to the air again, heading back toward the plaza.]
