Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 27, 2063 || Saturday

[icarusalsoflew]

[He told you to rest because you all definitely need it, and he plans on staying around in the Tower to make sure that happens.

Granted, he's also around to check up on you if you really can't sleep, and his sister's doing the same thing. So.]



OOC Notes:
+ Hikaru will be in to watch over you all and talk up until 8 PM; he goes on duty early, then comes right back to the Tower to see Josh because boyfriend time is a Thing. Setsuna will be around the entire day.
+ Feel free, as always, to start your own threads here.

It was... interesting.

He's starting to act a little like you.

[icarusalsoflew]

Oh? To what extent?

[He's aware that Death's been picking some of his mannerisms up, but he's a little curious to hear if it's gone beyond that --

-- and, well, there is that small issue of Death Not Talking to him At All about the days he spent with the Hounds. But you don't need to know about that just yet, Yulia.]

[bostova]

Little things. When says things like "I'm fine," and he's really not but he doesn't say why. [ S H R U G ]

I noticed it in Russia. Do you remember the tree..?

[icarusalsoflew]

[Okay, now he is very, very curious.]

Yeah. Hard to forget the first time I ever met you now, really.

[There's some honesty. Anyway.]

[bostova]

We were there, when I said I noticed he was acting like you. He also said you would have liked it if you were there, also.

[ A breath, and then, a shy smile. ] I suppose this is also an invitation.

[icarusalsoflew]

[You're adorable, Yulia. You always will be to him, really.]

It sure sounds like one. [Hee.] Thank you. I'm pretty sure we can find some way of dropping in there when we want to.

[And when they can, really. There is suddenly so much to do.]

[bostova]

[ Not adorable >:( ]

Of course... But it might take a while. Things are getting busy again.

[icarusalsoflew]

Yeah.

[Sigh.]

So much for a proper shore leave. I guess that's why Lia tried to push one in the first place.

[Because Shit Always Happens.]

[bostova]

[ She just nods. The Kaiser couldn't have known, but-- yeah. Shit Happens. It was good, while it lasted... even though it does make her feel so horribly embarrassed for her initial reaction. ]

I'm sure we will have time again.

[icarusalsoflew]

Or we'll just have to learn to make the time. We Keepers don't need to be nearly as vigilant as we used to, honestly.

[Leaning back at that, looking thoughtful. Things have changed so much in the Fifth World, especially for anyone who happens to make protecting it their business.]

[bostova]

[ And then she has a thought. ]

How often do you take vacations?

[icarusalsoflew]

Not very often. Vacations tend to leave me very bored.

[At least he's being honest?]

I'd rather subsist on short breaks.]

[bostova]

Maybe you are just not spending your vacations with the right people.

[ i.e., the Hounds. ]

Breaks included.

sob my coding errors

[icarusalsoflew]

[Chuckles.]

Or I could just be very allergic to being idle.

[He kind of is...]

[bostova]

[ She leans in close to nudge his shoulders with hers. ]

Or it's both.

But when you- we do have time... Russia is an option.

[icarusalsoflew]

Good thing too, because it's been a while since I've been there.

[And not been in to kill something. Nobody is Surprised.]

Maybe we can drop in on the power base there too. There's something I want to show you there.
