[Open] They become a part of you

[toremainbehind]

Who: Izumo and you
When: September 17-19
Where: Double Cross Bar, abandoned temples, or every other temple
What: Aftermath of the Moon event, possible Welcome Center things, and Izumo just needing a huge break from this all.


[A. Double Cross Bar - Morning]

[Anyone who decides to come to the bar today will surprisingly find it closed. There’s no sign that states the reason why, but it is.

Until Izumo walks up to the bar, eyebrow raised upon seeing whoever might be waiting outside.]

Haven’t been waiting long, have you?

[B. Training]

[It’s been a while since he’s actually done any sort of training with his borderlines, so he’s taken up a spot at an abandoned temple. He doesn’t really seem to be focused on doing the regular borderline casting spell, but is instead working on the offensive type.

Which is why anyone who’s walking by should immediately backtrack the moment an offensive borderline surrounded in flames flies by their face.

Izumo looks somewhat apologetic.]

Did you get hit?

[C. Temple Hopping]

[Due to his injuries from Grell, healed by Mikoto, Izumo has mostly taken up residency at Yona’s temple. There are some days where he would suddenly disappear without a word to the main residents there, often being at either Aymeric’s or even somewhere near Nari’s temple. Since he’s still recovering, he’s trying not to move around too much, but he also hates staying still as well.

It’s why it’s not surprising to see him around Cnoc Ainé, Neptune’s Compound, or even Forseti’s Temple. Anyone who runs into him at or near these places are free to bother him or convince him to get some more rest. Being hurt by a chainsaw isn’t exactly the best, after all.]

[D. Wildcard]

[Feel free to hit me with a prompt of your own or plot with me at seabutterfly!]

Comments

[darkestbefore]

[ She freezes, looking momentarily guilty at being caught before giving him a sheepish smile as she peeks in at him. ]

Ahh.... I didn't mean to bother you, Izumo.

[toremainbehind]

You’re not bothering me, but I’ll admit it’d be better if you just join me instead.

[And not slowly drive him crazy with your hovering.]

[darkestbefore]

[ Still looking a little sheepish, she steps into the room and comes to join him instead. ]

I can do that. Would you like to play a game or watch something? Or I can go find you a book or something?

[ This... probably still counts as fussing, doesn't it? ]

[toremainbehind]

I have an even better idea.

[His lips quirk up into a smile.]

Why not the two of us and Shizuo spend a whole day just watching movies?

[darkestbefore]

[ She blinks in surprise before her face lights up. ] Really? Could we?

[toremainbehind]

I don’t see why not. [His smile widens.] It’d be good to have a relaxing day with all three of us.

[darkestbefore]

Do you think Shizuo would want to? What should we watch? Last time we sat down to watch something, I ended up crying all over him, he might not be so eager to try again...

[toremainbehind]

It’ll be fine. Shizuo and I have talked about it before, but we never did manage to get around to sitting you down and watch a movie with us.

[Even though Shizuo had made specific requests in regards to what movies Yona should watch.]

[darkestbefore]

[ She smiles brightly, moving back to the door. ]

I'll go find him, then, and see if he's busy.

[bartenderizing]

[ The only thing he's busy with is filling his stomach right now. With milk. He's drinking milk in the kitchen.

Big shock, right? ]

[darkestbefore]

[ Totally. She's so surprised.

She slips into the kitchen with a hopeful smile, moving to join him. ]

Hello, Shizuo! How are you feeling today?

[bartenderizing]

I, uh... Fine.

[ He's a little thrown off right now- this isn't the same way that things were when Yona was fussing or hovering around them. ]

Something up?

[darkestbefore]

[ She gives him a warm smile, shifting from one foot to the other in anticipation. ]

Izumo suggested having a movie day since you both are supposed to take it easy today. He said this was something you two had talked about doing before?

[bartenderizing]

Hm...?

[ That did ring a bell, actually. How long ago was that talk? Sometimes it felt like things were getting mixed up in his mind anyway, so it was hard to pinpoint how long ago that was. Then again, it's hard to believe that they've only been here a few short months. ]

I do remember talking about that, yeah. It was a while back- I guess there's no reason why we couldn't do that. We'd just need the movies and snacks, like we set up for watching that whole drama series.

[darkestbefore]

Yes, that should work perfectly! [ And give them both a good reason to rest for another day. ] Would you mind helping me pick out some snacks? I think Izumo is picking out the movies.

[bartenderizing]

Ah... Sure. Which ones did you enjoy during the last marathon of ours?

[ That'll give them a good place to start, at least. ]

[darkestbefore]

Mmm, the popcorn was very good. And perhaps some pretzels? What would be good to put with it?

[bartenderizing]

What was that thing that caught your eye last time? Ah, and probably some soda, juice or bottled tea to go with it. You're gonna get thirsty.

[ Learn from your snacky mistake from the drama marathon. Salty stuff makes you thirsty. ]

[darkestbefore]

Ah, soda, yes! That goes good with the popcorn, right? [ It was apparently a movie thing. ] That should be enough to start, don't you think?

[bartenderizing]

Yeah, that should be good enough for now. It'll last a while.
