Fourth Song - And Suddenly, Emotions?

[windows_hyliaedition]

[Action - 913 Bilko]

After the odd events of everyone's memories twisting to something else, Fi seems to look more like she used to, despite still obviously being human. A nice, beautiful dress, completely with the poncho-like 'arms' that extend to cover her still present and human ones.

It's therefore a terrible pity that she's spent the entire day inside.

Actually, Fi has spent ALL day inside, despite the fact that she should really have gone to school. Perhaps she doesn't think anyone will notice or all- but the fact is, she doesn't seem quite.. Stable.

"Hahh... hahh..." For those in the house, Fi can actually be found huddled in the corner by where the record player sits, apparently either afraid of something or simply trembling.

Otherwise, maybe someone should check in on her- the door's unlocked... And even then she's bound to answer if you knock enough times. Or if the phone rings enough.

[[ooc - tl;dr, the barriers for emotional capacity got ripped down by her AU self, and she gets to deal with the backlash of actually feeling fear. Phone responses are welcome!]]

Hooray for mistaken readings working out, then! 8D

Humans do tend to be rather adaptable...and I'm sure you will do the same.

I will visit if you wish. Many times, humans find it comforting not to be alone when they are upset.

WHOO!

[windows_hyliaedition]

... [Ah.]

...Very well then. ...I appreciate the offer. [...That's probably a yes. ...It is definitely a yes.]

Careful, I think he's adopting her as a sister

[chalicejoker]

Just tell me where you are. I'll be right over.

Somehow I don't mind that. ;u;

[windows_hyliaedition]

.... 913 Bilko. [She doesn't say anything else- and if you hang up she'll eventually put the phone back due to the dial tone ringing too loud.]

Hehe

[chalicejoker]

Bilko? Okay, I'm on Stevens...I'll be right there.

[He hangs up the phone and darts out the door. You're only a couple of streets over and it's not a long walk, especially since he's cut through a few yards on the way. In a bit, there's knocking on your door.]

[windows_hyliaedition]

She'll answer the door, though she doesn't seem to be looking up from the ground immediately.

It's rude to stare at feet instead of faces though, isn't it? "...Do you wish to come in?"

[chalicejoker]

[Now that he's there, he realizes he only has a vague idea of what should be done in a situation like this. Usually, he's the one holing up and hiding from society.]

If you'd like me to.

[windows_hyliaedition]

When one socially secluded being meets another...

She nods after a moment, stepping aside to let him in. "I appreciate this. Thank you." Having a friend of any kind in times like this is good, even if she's not entirely sure why after all.

[chalicejoker]

[He steps inside, giving her a nod.]

You're welcome. It's the very least I could do, after everything that happened.

[The guilt from his AU self's actions will be a long time in leaving...but at least he's got a chance to make things right.]

[windows_hyliaedition]

"Ah..." ...Oh, yes.. What happened then- "What I said that time... I have no doubt that I would ever even briefly feel the need to resort to such a thing. ...Please understand that." Fi just said please.

Yep yep, world's ending, yep.

[chalicejoker]

[He shakes his head.]

I was being completely unreasonable--you handled yourself rather well considering the circumstances. Neither of us was quite our normal selves that day.

[windows_hyliaedition]

"I suppose." Hnnn. "All the same however, I imagine it is worse when one is led to believe their intentions are entirely reversed than merely guided along a more difficult form of the original ones."

[chalicejoker]

Hrm.

[He looks somewhat uncomfortable.]

I was...doing what I was originally intended to do. Fated for. Something I turned against long ago.

[And he still looks uncomfortable.]

But I was never that...cruel...about it.

[windows_hyliaedition]

"..." Hnnn.

"Occasionally, what is stated as 'fate', is not necessarily reality. ..As it is, I hold none of your actions from that time against you."

[chalicejoker]

[He...actually feels a bit better. Yet he'd gone over there in an attempt to make her feel better. Funny how that works out...]

Thank you.

[Hajime looks thoughtful for a moment.]

I would suggest that we pretend those days never happened, but perhaps we've learned something from them.

[windows_hyliaedition]

"It is truth, after all."

...

"...Perhaps we have. ...I suppose there is much for us to learn, concerning humans."

[chalicejoker]

Indeed. I've been at it for a while now, and they're still proving to be surprising...

[windows_hyliaedition]

"As a whole, they are a fairly unpredictable race it seems."

[chalicejoker]

They've constantly surprised me since I started living with them. Sometimes, I don't think they'll ever stop surprising me.

[windows_hyliaedition]

There's an extremely slight smile at that- but it's large enough for her that it makes a difference. "I must agree- it is a trait of theirs that make their species quite unique, I feel."
