Fuda #33 . reaching out [video]

[idealism]

I don't suppose anyone here is good at chopping wood? And heaving lifting.

[If anyone thinks that's a loaded question: it definitely is. For a couple of days now he's been working on a campsite, and it's a lot more work - and a lot less fun - than he expected. It's great at keeping his mind off of less pleasant thoughts, however. Working out usually is.]

[Later in the day, he makes a post that he hasn't looked forward to. His little Luceti family has shrunk so much lately. Tsuzuki knows that it's for the best - that going home is good for them - but he still can't help missing them.]

Link's gone home. He's left letters for some people.

I just felt like some people ought to know.

[More nodding. At least that way he won't have as much trouble finding his way home.]

Six months or so, I think. Maybe a year. We started talking when I first came back.

[Action]

[idealism]

[He blinks, surprised.]

That long? Why haven't I heard you talk about her?

[Action]

[cynicism]

[He shrugs.]

It never came up.

[Action]

[idealism]

[It's a little strange, to be sure, but he's mostly glad that Hisoka's getting out more.]

You can tell me things like that, you know. If you want.

[Action]

[cynicism]

Why? Do you tell me every time you talk to someone?

[Action]

[idealism]

I don't have to. My partner's an empath.

[Action] sdfhjkg LOL

[cynicism]

Very funny.

[Action] :P

[idealism]

It's funny because it's true.

How did the two of you meet?

[Action] WHAT. ilu.

[cynicism]

Journals. [More shrugging.]

[Action] ilu too, even those these two are morons

[idealism]

[All that shrugging makes him wonder just why Hisoka's trying to shrug it off.]

You said that. I was just wondering if something in particular happened.

[Action] :33

[cynicism]

I told you, I'd just gotten back. You were there for that. It's not like I could really talk to people.

[Action]

[idealism]

So does that mean she'll come and visit soon?

[Action]

[cynicism]

I suppose she might. If she wants.

[Action]

[idealism]

If she's become a good friend, you should have her over for dinner. I bet Draco will want to meet her.

[Action]

[cynicism]

...

What.

[Action]

[idealism]

What?

[Action]

[cynicism]

You'd want me to sit someone down with Draco?

[Action]

[idealism]

It doesn't have to be just Draco.

[Action]

[cynicism]

Don't be weird, Tsuzuki.

[Action]

[idealism]

I don't understand why you're bothered by this. We eat dinner together all the time, don't we?

[Action]

[cynicism]

Well yes, but you make it sound so formal.

[Action]

[idealism]

It's not like it's an arranged marriage. Take it easy.

[Action]

[cynicism]

.... Oh. Right.

[Action]

[idealism]

[....But that blush is weird. And after the conversation they had, he's not sure he likes it.]

Did you think I was setting you up for one?

[Action]

[cynicism]

[More shrugging. WHY ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT THIS.]
