[ Knock knock, open up, there is some number of Anzens at your door.

A pretty lady in sky blue smiles and waves. ]

Good evening. Hopefully this isn't a bad time? Enough time has passed that we figured it was a good idea to check in and make proper introductions.

You'll have to forgive the lack of housewarming gift. We're a bit shorthanded at the moment, which I'm sure you can relate to.

[ From behind her peers a perfectly average guy with tousled hair dressed in sky blue slacks. He gives a friendly wave! ]

We did think about it, though.

He does seem the more sociable one.

Perhaps Captain Private Moon could supervise?

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

I imagine he would appreciate being asked, even if the supervision wouldn't be necessary.

[slightly amused]

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

It does help to keep one busy...

Though that does mean that the concerning one is still young Mr. Naoto.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

Ah. Did he try to hit you with a broom, too?

[doesn't seem too upset about it]

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

Library books.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

Hm. Hopefully it didn't bruise too badly.

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

I have quick reflexes...

But I was more concerned with what he experienced last before he woke up here. Most people don't handle such things well to begin with, but with stressors, also...

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

What he experienced before he woke up here...?

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

Death.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

[after a slight pause]

I see... That's unfortunate.

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

Very.

[reviving's hard...]

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

Is that why you said he's the most concerning one?

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

Currently, yes. He is the youngest in our group, isn't he?

I don't mean to say others in our number may not also have concerning behaviors, but...

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

What other behaviors are you referring to?

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

... well. For example. A lack of evidence being evidence... it is a bit concerning that you do keep such an even keel when faced with the troubles here.

That could be just your temperament. Or it could be your training.

But I do sometimes become concerned.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

[tilts her head, but unsurprisingly by now, her expression doesn't change.]

Concerned for me, or about me?

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

The former, more.

... I know why I can affect calm under the circumstances, and so... it's concerning.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

And why can you, then?

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

... because I had no choice but to.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[...]

If by "affecting calm" you're implying I'm putting on an act, that isn't the case. So at the very least, you don't need to be concerned about that.

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

I see. That is good to know.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

[after just a small pause]

But I suppose... Thank you regardless.

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

There's no need for thanks, but I will take it gladly, all the same.

Re: KATSUMORI

[darkholder]

If I've thanked you, then I've deemed it important.

[brushing her fingers over her hair for a moment before bringing her hand down]

Re: KATSUMORI

[presgarddihellis]

[watching the hand movements but just smiles without commenting on it.]

... of course.

You're most welcome, then.
