[pundulum]

MAYBE.... what games do you want to play?

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

[ALL OF THEM]

I don't know they didn't say what kinds of games.

Just that there were games.

I like those.

<Weaver>

[chatwithdeath]

Reira, this is Dr. Kimishima. We have a patient asking for you so if you could come by the Lake Dala Clinic before he continues trying to move, it would be appreciated.

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[blurspot]

[Oh bugger]

Is he a spider.

I told him I was ok he was the one who had a lot of glass stuck in his body!

<Weaver>

[chatwithdeath]

Yes, that's the one.

He keeps trying to leave his bed.

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

Can you tell him I said he can't move.

I'm not as fast as he is, and we live in Bavan so he'll probably move otherwise.

If he keeps trying tell him it was an 'order' though.

[Wasn't kidding about the 'Master' thing was he?]

<Weaver>

[chatwithdeath]

I'll tie him down if I have to, but I'll try giving him your order first.

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

Thank you!

Don't tell him I'm coming alone though he'll get worried.

[And. Probably try to move. Again.]

<Weaver>

[chatwithdeath]

What he doesn't know is going to save him from hurting himself.

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

[Phew! Got that right.]

Thank you.

<Weaver>

[chatwithdeath]

You're welcome.

Some day on the 13th of May

[intercalaryninja]

[Tsukikage closes his laptop and crawls out of his room. Light had reminded him that he knew very little of his young master, and outside of LDS, he didn't know about his schooling. He knew Reiji would have provided the basics, but still, it was worth a check.

Thanks to his keen senses, he's able to pick up where Reira is quickly, and soon the arachne is knocking on the newest and nearest doors, alerting the boy of his presence.]

Reira-dono... may I ask a question?

[blurspot]

[A question? Reira is rather calmly reading a small book right now, so when he looks 'up' it's more looking upside down from where he was lying on his back. He quickly sits himself up, staring.]

What is it?

[intercalaryninja]

I wanted to know about education. I've been thinking about it for a while... Where did you go to school? Outside of LDS.

[soft_focus]

[...School?

He stares.] I didn't go to school.

I was going to go here, but I think the lady that was going to make the school disappeared.

[intercalaryninja]

........

You've never been to school before?

[He frowns, suddenly having a bad feeling in his stomach]

Were you tutored before? How did you learn to read?

[soft_focus]

[Yes how did he learn...] ...Mom had someone teach me the language...but that was it.

...I just learned if it was missing.

[It was pretty 'easy' given his state of mind at the time.]

[intercalaryninja]

...

[That just made things even more concerning for the spider. The small man walks closer.] May I sit on the bed?

...

Reira, where did you come from? [The Akaba family was Japanese, but Reira was implying he was from elsewhere...]

[soft_focus]

Only if you can fit. [He means it with quite a straight face, and moves to make room.

...And then he shrugs.] I don't know.

...It wasn't Maiami, but I don't think anyone said the name of where it was.

[As he speaks, he doesn't look to the other-and eventually, he pulls in his legs, putting his book down.] ...It wasn't a good place though.

...it was like where Kurosaki came from.

[intercalaryninja]

[So he can. Tsukikage isn't exactly big, so he crawls on the bed, curls his legs up and gets comfortable, looking almost eye to eye with the younger man.]

... I see. You're from Standard, right? So was it overseas?

[He frowns. Like Kurosaki... so the logical assumption to make was that Reira was from a war-torn country. That made sense and explained a lot...]

[soft_focus]

[The boy nods.] It was still Standard.

...Just not Maiami. ...I didn't see how we got there. ...I just know it was different.

Some of Bucky's papers made me think of the ones there though.

[...Quite a lot actually. He thinks he recognized words.]

[intercalaryninja]

Bucky... [He doesn't know much about the werebear but he'll look into it eventually.] Do you remember much about that place? It is alright if you do not.

new conversation topic for steve and tsuki ohohoh

[blurspot]

[And when he does, it'll likely be horrifying.

As it is, the boy doesn't look up, his tail twitching only occasionally.]

...Yeah. ...I think I did a lot of bad things, there.

...things worse than Academia, maybe. [That, at least... ...he has never said aloud.]

of course

[intercalaryninja]

... Worse than Academia?

...

[Did he kill...?]

Do you know for sure or...?

[blurspot]

[This time, there's more of a response. He bites his lip, and his claws dig into his legs as the boy's ears turn back.]

I don't know.

...I didn't want to think. I just wanted to be safe, so I listened.

[He curls tighter, and for all that he tries, he tries just as hard not to think about it at all. He saw plenty in the glass.

But right now it's long banished to the depths of his thoughts, where he wants them to stay buried.] ...I don't know what was my fault... [he admits, voice cracking slightly.]

...I just know there weren't cards, there.
