#44 - Oh brother where art thou

[inthecenterfold]

[[I was away all day bawww so we'll say that Smoke is only finally coherent enough to write in the journal and hasn't read Lin's entry yet /braces for hate. He saw Lotus' entry and immediately went to the park with Aniki in tow and found Amurui, with player permission from both~]]

[the handwriting is chicken-scratchy, reminiscent of Smoke's earliest entries]

Amurui's stuck in some kind of clear cocoon thing. I didn't see what happened.

Aniki and I'll be here in the park until it hatches.

Yeah I understand. Just had to be here, is all.

Oh, of course. I'd worry if you were anywhere else. But I'll make a round later. I'll bring you tea or something, it could be a cold night.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

T

Probably, but not unfamiliar either.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Cold nights camping out. Doesn't bother me - not for something like this.

[pings equally for cold nights on the journey, waiting around for various members of the Sanzo Party to be Not On Their Deathbed, and childhood nights after Jien left]

[♥ Aww Smoke, your woobness is showing.]

As long as you're not saying I shouldn't bring you tea—I do understand.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

[♥]

Nah, don't have a [almost wrote 'death wish']

I think oolong was the kind I liked.

[Oh, Smoke, oh no. She'll just make sad doe eyes at you until you cave. XD]

I'll make sure to bring some of that.

[He's more than a little shocked by the responses ^^;]

Thanks, Kage-chan.

It's the least I can do. Amurui's my friend, too, just as you are.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he has [debates 'had', leaves it] more friends now.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Mm, me too. But we have to look out for each other, right?

[Never mind it helps her to cope with her worry for Toushi to be a busybody. ^^;]

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

So I keep hearing. Seems weird for so many people to be offering me stuff, tho. I didn't ask for any of it.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

So did you say no just because you didn't ask?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

When did I say no?

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you had, I just asked if you had.

It's just... a little funny to have to tell you that you've got many friends here, when you were the first to call me that.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

It's different when it's other people.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Is it, really?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

[Hi self-esteem issues, haven't seen you in awhile~]

Yeah. I think. No?

[bad handwriting is bad]

I'm used to taking care of my own shit is all.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Well. I think it's good to stand on your own two legs, but it doesn't mean you couldn't lean on someone who cares about you every now and then.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Just a little weird for a big boy like me, you know?

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

I won't tell if you don't?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Fat chance of that with these things.

Castor and Pollux found that out the hard way.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

I didn't quite mean that literally. If this was a private talk, I'd just come over there to have it.

What do you—oh. Right. That.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

You're still bringing that tea though, right?
