[He can't actually see her without his glasses, but he can hear her voice, so he knows who's there.]

...

Hikaru?

[heartablaze]

[...]

E-eh?

[THAT'S.... NOT IZUMO...

congrats she is now bubbling awake and backing up through the leaves with her blanket clenched in her hands.]

E-ehh??? S-shiro-san?!

Why are we outside???

[lionson]

[I fucking forgot to check the inn changes, I'm crying.

But now Shiro is suddenly aware of his bed of leaves, and he's cursing as he goes looking for his glasses.]

These rooms keep getting worse every week!

[heartablaze]

[She now has leaves in her hair. ):]

Wait... wait, this is a bedroom???

Where's the beds? Where's our stuff???

[WHERE'S THE DOOR????? HELLO????]

[lionson]

Where's the lights, more like.

[It's early, the sun's not up. But he does manage to get his glasses on at least.]

[heartablaze]

[Oh wait, there's the door...

This room is weird. :(

She rubs at her eyes as she curls up further under her blanket.]

Hey... maybe it'll turn on by itself? They can't have put us in a room without a light... [That's called the sun, Hikaru.] Besides, it's still really early, isn't it...?

...

Um... Shiro-san, why are you awake? I thought I heard something before...

[lionson]

[Ah. Right. He had woken up suddenly.]

I snore. That's probably what you heard.

[heartablaze]

Is that bad?

[what a weird question]

[lionson]

I guess it'd be bad if you don't like loud noises.

[What a weird question.]

[heartablaze]

I don't mind, usually. I like sleeping.

[Hm. She stares at him for a little bit before taking a closer look around her. Where was her--? ...Aha, there was her sword, over in the side of a tree.

She'll woozily get up, brushing the leaves off herself and carefully pulling her weapon from its hiding place, letting the tip of the blade thunk to the ground.]

Are... you feeling okay, Shiro-san? You know Shima-kun and Izumi-chan both, right?

[lionson]

[Shiro is getting up too, and finding his stuff is Suffering because dark and he's kind of cold right now. He at least has enough sense to change into a t-shirt and loose pants before he sleeps, instead of wearing the clothes he normally wears during the day.]

I mean, I won't lie and say I'm great, but I'm getting along. Why?

I cant believe i said Izumi i have made that typo SO MUCH

[heartablaze]

Mm.

I think a lot of people are just concerned for you, that's all. You and Izumo-chan both. You have someone to talk to, I hope? Maybe Hansa-san?

I... know Izumo-chan was taking it really bad-- [haha she hesitates a little] -- so... I worry about you both. Even if Shima-kun was guilty... that's still such a hurtful thing, to have to watch somebody you know have to die...

it's ok, I keep doing that too

[lionson]

[Oh. Oh, she's worried about him.

He smiles softly at her.]

That's kind of you, to worry so much about others. Keep looking out for others like that, yeah? Caring for people, it's important.

I'll be okay, though. You don't get to be my age without having lost people before. It does sting, but I can handle it.

The true izumo crimes are the typos we all made along the way

[heartablaze]

Mm. It's the right thing to do, Shiro-san. I... know I've messed up badly before, but... that doesn't mean I want to stop caring, just because I might be hurting or might have made someone else hurt because of what I've done.

Izumo-chan... found out, about what I did. And I... I'm concerned about her, and I care, but I... I know she hates me now. [haha... ha. :(]

But I won't stop caring about her, even if... even if I have to do it from far away, or pray for her, or just hope that she has someone who can help her... even if I'm a horrible person to her, she isn't to me.

[lionson]

[Ah. This certainly is a heavy topic for anyone to deal with, much less a teenager. Shiro is sympathetic. Maybe it's that sympathy he feels that gets him to give a more genuine answer as opposed to platitudes.]

It's going to take time for her to stop being mad. That girl, she has quite the temper. Giving her space to be angry is probably the best for now.

But I think she'll come around eventually. Even though she is mad now, she won't be mad forever. And when that time comes, then you can approach her again. And until that day, watching over her from a distance is a good thing, I think.

[heartablaze]

[Her expression tightens, as though she wants to talk back against that. But she keeps her mouth shut, her hands clenched, until the urge passes.]

I... don't think that's something people can forgive... not when it's a friend you really care about. But...

I'm not gonna change my mind about her, even if she wants to never look at me again. I won't be angry at her, or blame her for being angry.

I just want her to be okay. She just seems like she's been through too much, Shiro-san.

[lionson]

She'll be okay, eventually. But it's very brave of you, to care about her even through such anger from her.

[She'll be okay until Shiro mcfukken dies I guess, RIP Izumo's CR.]
