(closed) be a being on two feet with a heart trembling

Who: Asahi and Momiji
When: After the event
Where: Vaguely waves hands
What: These two come to a decision after the event.
Warnings: Teenagers on edge? But they're both relatively harmless, so there should be nothing serious.

[ Asahi is so on edge. She was already on edge when people started disappearing. But even now the people have been rescued and those responsible for it all caught, she finds herself not being able to calm down easily. It's still a fact that all of this happened to begin with, after all. It's a fact that all those who she helped rescue looked horrible. Terrible things were done to them. Just because they ended up in this city due to no decision of their own.

The thoughts keep repeating themselves over and over in her head. It feels like she's going crazy, really. The amount of feathers growing in her hair and on her skin is rapidly increasing with the amount of stress she's feeling, and it's like she finds a new one somewhere every ten minutes or so.

She needs something to distract herself. She mentally goes over the list of people she knows, tries to find them in the middle of this chaos to make sure they're alright.

After a while she realises there's someone she hasn't seen yet. Momiji. She tries to think back on whether she saw him during the rescue attempt or not, but it all feels like a blur by now. Is he alright? Did he get caught by those people too? And even if he didn't-- who could be unaffected by all that happened?

With how easily it is for her mind to start fixating itself way too heavily on one thing in this state, she immediately starts running all over looking for the puca. Asahi is probably well out of breath by the time she finally manages to spot the boy, but she still calls out. ]


Momiji..!

[Oh, this is no fair.

He can't really miss the strain in Asahi's voice as she reassures him; that doesn't take a Bond to pick up on by now. And--this shouldn't be hard! He doesn't do reticence, and staying over with Asahi the one time was perfectly nice, so...!

Except. What if he bugs her, coming in at weird hours from Particularly Good Finders? Or if he brings home trouble? What if they can't ever agree on what to get for dinner? Or if it turns out he snores, or he wets the bed? What if he just takes up too much space in general? Asahi probably wouldn't kick him out, even if he did all those things. But she might want to.]


Mn, we can try it out! [He blurts, a little too hastily and a little too cheerfully, then. Nope, he's not nervous, this is great!] I'll grab clothes and everything for the week, and then...we can figure everything else out, later!

[That's a good plan, right? It'll have to be easier to think about this, after the Bond or maybe just with a couple days shaved off his sleep deficit. And by then maybe they'll know if his rabbit-stuff is going to get in the way of her bird-stuff!

He nods firmly to himself, committing to this solution, and then leans in for a last, quick hug.]


'Kay?

[He'll take it.

Brushing himself off, he moves to stand as Asahi's wings unfurl. He gives a small shiver at the winter air breaking through the cozy, little bubble he'd been shrouded in, but it's alright. They're alright, for now, even if--well, everything else still isn't. All things considered, maybe it's good to have something like that to be nervous over, now.

He stations himself at her side, then, offering a hand up.]


It's really close! Just right up this way--

[And, when Asahi's ready to go, he'll lead them off, shooting a small grin back over his shoulder.]
