[Event Post: Seeking Snowflake]

[foreverchilled]

::The odd girl once entirely room bound is now quietly exploring the house. She'll open just about any door that isn't locked, and may even take a peek outside, into one of Xi's Cafes. She won't wander too far, though... poking her head out of the cafe is as far as she'll venture... but it's a start, right?::

*...whatshouldIsaywhatshouldIsaywhatshouldIsaydamnitthisshouldn'tbesodifficult!

He idly snaps closed the book, while still trying to think of what he's supposed to do in this situation.*

::Theresa whips around at the sound of a book being snapped closed, making a slight chain rattling noise herself. She looks at Souha in surprise from the noise, initially, but slowly widens her eyes as it dawns on her who it is. She takes a step back towards the door.::

*... He honestly looks kinda hurt by you taking a step back. Before he sighs, and raises his hand, in at least greeting. Makes no move to get up from where he's sitting.*

Didn't expect to see you here.

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

...what do you want?

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

... Well, honestly, what I was doing before I noticed you was getting a head-start on some material that I'm almost required to learn more about. *He holds up a book. Seems to be some sort of medical text, which might explain his annoyed look before.*

... Right now, I'm more just wondering what you're doing.

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

What do you care. You wanted me gone in the first place.

::Geeze, she's frigid.::

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

*Look of immense confusion. But he shrugs it off. Maybe something he did say. Or maybe one of the others... Or maybe just how actions were interpreted? Keh, should really set Jouyoku on fire...*

... Because no matter what, it's odd to see someone you least expect in a cafe.

The fact that I'm wondering might mean I actually care about what you've been doing.

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

...cafe...?

::The light seems to flicker on.::

...oh, that's right...

...

I seriously doubt that.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Mn... There's very little to doubt, honestly. I wouldn't have bothered with waving to you, or acknowledging you, or really, wondering why you're here, if there was anything to doubt about it.

*grabs his drink, and takes a sip.* Besides, I thought it'd be nice to at least say something, after I...

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

Unless you wanted something.

Told me to get out of your life? Stop dragging you down? Save it.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

*... makes an odd expression. It seems to be a mixture of horror and confusion.*

Why in the world would I have said something like that?

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me. You're the one who said it.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

... *Seems to be thinking.*

... Which one said that.

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

"Souha"

That's all that matters.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

*... he shakes his head, muttering.* It really isn't like that. And I apologize if one of those other ones said something like that... Maybe if I'm lucky, it's that one that hasn't spoken a word in weeks, now.

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

A little late to try an excuse yourself.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Yes, considering the last year or so spent feeling terrible for that entire situation, and feeling worthless, I'd figure so.

*drinks his drink again.*

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

You don't get to talk about feeling "worthless" or "terrible".

You can't even imagine what it's really like.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

*...* I've had my entire world view torn down bit by bit, and was forced to accept that I'm not "real". I was forced to act differently, and that ended up killing the only other part of me I cared about.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

*... and then his posture shifts, though more into a thinking position.*

Though, really, isn't that overly assuming?

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

I lost my world.

...and a lot of other things...

I don't have to explain myself. Least of all to you.

::Theresa spins on her heel, heading back for Erland's place.::

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Oh, really. I just got out, and you're going to leave?

The old bottom really was so harsh, if that's your immediate reaction to us now. No wonder the top could be hurt by your statement.

[foreverchilled.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter anymore.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

*There's an odd laugh. Strikingly relaxed, given how tense he probably was before.* Only because you won't bother to care. Really, the top is pathetic. Spends all of this time wallowing in despair, thinking himself pathetic and undeserving of others, and might only now have a chance at getting back on his feet...

And then you appear while he's trying to enjoy his time, and act like you've seen-- and were talking to the worst monster in the world? Disregarding anything else?

Really, if I was the one out, maybe that would have made sense... I would've almost liked to see how the proxy would've reacted to your presence, too...

But I guess that really does make you the most interesting.

::Theresa scoffs at Souha, not stopping. She'll head back in and close the door in short order.::
