XLIV

[wilder]

[After waking up with Harmony and that entire mess, Zelos eventually left and returned to his own room to clean up. From there he saw that it was snowing...great. Not feeling like walking through the snow back to the city, he decided to visit his sister to spend the day with her.]

[Except when he got there? The door plate was empty, and any sign that it was ever once her room was gone. ]

[....]

[When it snows, it blizzards, it seems.]

[After a long while, he'll finally open up the journal and give a quick dictation in a practiced calm manner. ]

Seles Wilder's returned home.

[And that's all he feels like saying]

[OOC: sorry for the spam!]

Comments

[Zelos]

[ino]

[oh no :( she'd practically just gotten here, and already ...]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Ino]

[wilder]

[a quick pause]

Yeah well...she's better off at home.

Sorry you didn't get to meet her.

[Zelos]

[ino]

Even so, it's tough when someone like that leaves.

Well, I'm sure I'll get to meet her another time!

Zelos

[persequor]

[ A quiet gasp and a pause. She filters. ]

Do you want to do something?

[ No apology, no worded sympathy. She can't do much, but she'll offer what she can. ]

Arya

[wilder]

[a pause; ARYA ;;]

I'll be fine, my little wolf. I'll probably just go read in my room or something...pretty boring.

Zelos

[persequor]

Then can I go see you? I've something for you anyway.

[ can you feel the puppy dog eyes through the journal. can you. because you should. ]

[not_mafia]

[...oh. Well, Tsuna should've seen this coming, probably. After all, wasn't that one of the first things he'd been told upon arriving in Paradisa? Most only stay a few months before returning home. He'd always thought it was going to be him. He never expected for it to be one of his friends.

A soft sigh is all that's transcribed before he closes the journal. Maybe he'll come back and think a little more on how it was Zelos who announced her leaving, how he'd said her last name was Wilder, but for now, he needs to go do something to preoccupy his mind.]

[wilder]

[Hey look on the bright side Tsuna, at least you no longer have to fear for your balls or life if he ever found out about your little crush]

[not_mafia]

[yuff you are awful gdiaf]

[Zelos]

[whichwayyoulean]

[...Well, hell. That wasn't good at all. He's quiet for a moment, trying to find something, anything, that could offer a little consolation]

...I'm sorry.

[Okay, so it wasn't a great inspiring speech. But at least the words are sincere, which is a lot coming from the Once-ler, really]

[Once-ler]

[wilder]

[Whoa, he's kinda surprised to hear from Onceler and giving such a sincere tone. It's like Once-ler actually REMEMBERS Zelos's last name or something!!]

...Don't worry about it. She's better off at home.

[Zelos]

[whichwayyoulean]

[I know right, it's as if he actually PAYS ATTENTION to what people tell him sometimes]

Really? [That's doubt right there, because dude, he knows about where you come from :|]

Zelos ; dictated

[pocketmage]

[ Ouch. Genis knows all about siblings, having one himself... and he knows that Zelos is probably not feeling too hot. He could just imagine how it would be if he was in his shoes...

But how does one reply to something like that? After all, it's difficult. Genis does like Zelos an awful lot lately, but it isn't like they're best friends or anything.

Still... ]

I'm sorry.

[ It's not his fault, but what else can he say? ]

Genis ; dictated

[wilder]

[The squirt? He'll pause before speaking]

Heh, don't worry about it. Seles is better off back home.

Zelos ; dictated

[pocketmage]

If you say so...

[ There's a pause. ]

I made a huge batch of cookies awhile back. Do you think you guys would want some?

Zelos

[huffythedragon]

Where are you right now?

[BRO HE WILL FIND YOU YOU CANNOT ESCAPE DRAGON HUGS B|]

Spike

[wilder]

Uh- why?

Zelos

[huffythedragon]

[As if it's the most obvious thing in the world ever]

Because you need a hug and I'm going to give you one.

Zelos

[heal_theworld]

[Oh no. Grandchild ;;]

I'm sorry, Zelos. She's a very nice, sweet girl. Everything turns out all right for her, right? [Or at least as well as it can.]

Martel

[wilder]

She's safe back home, if that's what you're worried about.

Zelos

[heal_theworld]

Mm, yes. Then she'll hopefully continue to be safe.

[kingsgambit]

[He's learned something from stalking the journals, typically when someone does this it's because it's someone they care about has left. And really when someone does that, not that he's experienced it but he knows how he feels when someone you care for leaves or you do something unintentionally to cause their death, or even a strangers death, he knows all you typically like to do is spend time by yourself and brood.

So really that's what prompts his helpful comment.]

I have crates and a dark corner of my room open. You can borrow either. [Not mentioning that it helps him too. Even if you are a stranger, he's rather used to his room being invaded by now, what's one more?]

[wilder]

[.........]

[.........]

[Okay that's the weirdest comment ever, but hey considering how many people are coming to his room? Maybe it's not a terrible offer]

Uh, thanks dude!

Zelos

[ninjainviolet]

[Yes, she's still mad at him, and herself, but this-- This is something she can ignore her anger for.]

Zelos-- I am really sorry.

Sheena

[wilder]

[Ahahah have a pause here before he'll dictate cordially]

Don't be. She's probably better off at home.
