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. ]

[Ino]

[wilder]

Yeah, maybe you will. Who knows, right?

[Zelos]

[ino]

Right.

Do you want some company?

[Ino]

[wilder]

[Sure. His sister's]

...Nah, don't worry. I'll be fine.

[Zelos]

[ino]

...

[after seeing that little outburst the other day, she's not too inclined to believe it when he's so calm/casual]

Zelos.

[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.]

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.

[Ino]

[wilder]

What?

[Zelos]

[ino]

You don't have to try and convince me. It's okay if you're upset.

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. ]

[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]

[Ino]

[wilder]

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Seles is safer at home and people go home all the time.

[And he rather not seem sad in front of anyone B| ]

[not_mafia]

[yuff you are awful gdiaf]

Arya

[wilder]

Something for me?

[And he feels those puppy dog eyes. Dammit Arya you make it it hard to brood on his own]

...Alright. I'll be in my room.

[Zelos]

[ino]

Uh-huh.

[doesn't believe that shit for a second!!]

Where are you?

[Ino]

[wilder]

What? Why?

[Zelos]

[ino]

Because I'm coming to see you. Obviously.

[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]

Zelos

[persequor]

[ bitch don't even. her life sucks way more and she just punches someone and goes back to being awesome. get over yourself, Zelos, pls. ]

I'll be there!

[ and once there, she tries the knob first. She never learned to knock. ]

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? ]

Zelos

[huffythedragon]

Where are you right now?

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

[Ino]

[wilder]

I said I'd be fine...
