fifteen [action] | early Saturday morning
[Martel had been kidnapped by the Malnosso droids about a week ago and no matter how many times she's taken from him, Mithos can't get used to it. There's the same plummeting feeling in his stomach, the same moment of weak knees nearly buckling. The aching that won't go away. And at night, indelible memories scrape through his head with a vengeance. Crumpling to the ground with blood blooming on her clothes and color draining from her face-- He startles awake long before the sun rises, feeling small in the empty house. Still and silent, he sits in the dark. He can think of one person who is undoubtedly awake at this hour too, and after a long moment of debate he decides to reach for his journal and start writing.]

[WRITTEN - private to Sayo | 100%]
I had a Are you awake? [He already knows the answer, but he doesn't know where else to begin.]
[ACTION]
[He falls back into uneasy sleep eventually, and when he wakes up again he has errands to busy himself with. Food is running low...and he wants to check on something on the flower shop too. Hoping to avoid people as much as possible, he ventures out early in the morning with a canvas bag for groceries slung over his shoulder. Maybe he shouldn't be living by himself, but in the months since his death penalty was first placed on him he's become more skillful with his crutches. There is something to be said for stubbornness too. Above all else, he has to convince himself that his sister will be returned soon... He moves through the village as briskly as he can, eyes vigilant and senses finely tuned - the sooner he can return, the better.]

[Later in the morning he opens his journal again, because there's someone who he needs to see more than anyone else in the cloying absence of his sister...]
[VOICE - private to Kaori | 100%]
You're not busy today...are you?

Freyjadour probably looked terrible- he hadn't returned to the house since she had been taken, determinedly in denial for several hours and spending those hours searching for her, before realizing that she was probably not coming back anytime soon. After that, though.... well. He couldn't bring himself to go home. So he kept wandering, his eyes hopelessly seeking out any sign of her through the night, fretting if she was warm enough, had anything to eat, if she was scared and if they had hurt her..... all of that combined just created a clear, painful realization. No matter how hard he tried, He still couldn't protect her completely here.
So naturally, after all that sleepless worry, he would run into yet another source of worry.]
[action]
Mithos hasn't been any more effective than Frey in the wake of his sister's kidnapping. Earlier in the week he had attempted to patrol around the border of the village, keeping his senses peeled for any sign of Martel, but traveling long distances is a struggle in his condition. Moving through the woods around the village had proved near impossible, and he had been forced to give up after losing his balance for the umpteenth time. The rest of his time has been spent moping around the house, locked up in anxious frustration. He has the scars across his chest, left behind by careful incisions, to remind him of what Martel could be going through right now. And he can do nothing about it.
Between the worry and a flux of nightmares, he hasn't been sleeping well. Nor has he been eating properly, only dragging himself to the kitchen when his stomach is about ready to cave in, and forcing down only the bare minimum. It likely shows.
The street is empty, and now that they've both seen each other it's too late to try to avoid him. All he can do is keep limping forward.]
Re: [action]
Mithos. [He simply nods in the others direction, but it's clear he isn't sure how to approach this at all. His mind has been focusing on Lym and trying to find her, and Mithos was not the person he wanted to see. The other had been a tough topic to wrap his mind around since Kaori admitted her problems to him, and he had gone from 'potentially a danger' to 'most definitely one' but Freyjadour still could do nothing about it without hurting her.]
[action]
[He doesn't need this right now. Or ever. He hates knowing how important the human is to Kaori, how much she cares about him. He hates it for so many reasons, but it all boils down to jealousy and fear. The tight coil of confused feelings inside him gives a thousand more reasons to be wary, not wanting it to unwind and clash with how everything is supposed to be...]

So to say that she's relieved to hear from Mithos is putting it a little lightly.] Not at all, what is it?
[private]
I just wondered if you wanted to do something with me... [he doesn't know what, and it doesn't particularly matter. They could sit in silence for all he cares, because at least it would be companionable silence.]

Are you able to come to my house? I can sit outside again, to make it easier for you to find.

Yes? Is something wrong?
[Written - private]
It was only a dream.
[Written - private]
Would you like to talk about it, or would you rather get your mind off it?
[Written - private]
[He's still feeling hesitant about opening up, but right now he just needs someone to talk to, someone to comfort him. Badly. And in the encompassing darkness where he's so small and alone, it only feels more natural to give in to the urge to reach out for her. He isn't forced to try to hide his weaknesses like in the daylight.]
My sister was kidnapped last week, and the dreams have become more frequent. I'm really worried about her.

Either way, he's still got enough other things to worry about on top of that. Bil's offer to test that new Shift technology that may get them home, the renewed tension in the air whenever he's in the same room as Kratos... And of course, the standard fear that an experiment or draft could be just around the corner. He's a bit lost in thought as he strides through the village early in the morning, but a familiar sensation snaps him out of it soon enough.
Mithos. And he's close. If Yuan can sense him, that means the same holds true on the other end. If he was wise, he would avoid an encounter with Mithos, but... Well, Yuan rather feels like behaving recklessly today. He decides to go out of his way and seek the 'boy' out while he still can.]
[Action]
Not that it will be difficult to catch up to his halting stride.]
[Action]
Mithos.

Yeah Hughes doesn't really work that way. Even if Emil told him Mithos was dangerous, he can't help but think of that adorable kid that played with Elicia. So. Curiosity gets the better of him.]
Need a hand?
action; this is terribly delightful and delightfully terrible
He'll pause long enough to shoot an acrid reply--] No. [--and then try to keep going. The keyword here is probably 'try'.]
action; the best possible combination.
Are you sure? I can help you carry your groceries. I don't mind!
[And he may just try to pluck that bag off his shoulder and carry them for him anyway, regardless of his answer.]
action; except for possibly chocolate and peanut butter
action; alright, I'll give you that.

The silver bracelet Mithos had presented to him during the week they were together still hangs around his left wrist, serving as a reminder to not give up on the promises he made the other boy. Even if they didn't have the same meaning now... he hasn't seen Mithos since they woke up in the same bed that morning, though, and he hasn't dared to contact him either.
As stated before, this will likely be an unfortunate morning for both of them.]
[action] you are a glutton
He turns the corner, and sees Jeb there. Suddenly, he doesn't need bread that badly. A confusing tangle of memories knots in his chest and chases him back the way he came. He better not have been spotted--]
[action] what are you talking about? YOU'RE the glutton. you WANTED me to tag...
...Mithos?
[action] you wanted me to want you to tag and you know it
[action] that's not the point! stop evading! :'(
[action] everything is the point
[action] that's not true stop lying!!
[action] ...or is it??
[action] IT ISN'T SO DEAL W/IT!!!

[action] wow you're mean. and also always plotting.
[action] I was singing a Cake song..... :(
[action] ...well you're still always plotting
[action] I just want to drink me some wine!
[action] DRUNKLEEN NO
[action]
...especially since he senses Mithos' mana signature, despite not being able to see him just yet.]
[action] the biggest glutton
He too feels Kratos's presence and he absolutely has no desire to see him, even less so than usual since that awkward afternoon of conversation on the beach last month. It had been something from a time long disintegrated, a part of the past that doesn't need to be dragged up anymore.]
[action] i'm just doing what i was told (tears)
He stands still, unsure whether or not to approach or go back the way he came.]
[action] .....8')
[action] why do you enjoy blaming me
[action] blame your fate 8V
[action] you are the rudest :c
[action] am I? :|a
