Sorry, that was rather dark, wasn't it? [He rubs the back of his head, looking a little sheepish.] Maybe unavoidable is too grim of an outlook.

[He had to hold onto something akin to hope that there may be something he can look up to. But between Manabu dying and what he's seen -- he's got a feeling this was just the tip of the iceberg.]

I just get this feeling that things aren't going to get much better.

W-What?

[His heart leaps in his chest at the suddenness of it all. The way he says it, the surprise movement from Magnet, the cups bounding on the table - he reaches up to grab at the front of his coat stunned. He blinks, before slowly nodding, registering what he's said.]

Okay?

[The passion behind his words takes him by surprise.]

Manabu... [He doesn't know what to say, rendered temporarily speechless by his words. What could he say? He listens intently before falling into a comfortable silence shortly after Manabu stops talking. Could he promise something like that? A simple text a day of something familiar? What if he doesn't find anything familiar, or can't think of something to text him?

He nods slowly, reaching for his cup of tea once more.]


One thing a day. [He finds himself smiling softly, looking down into the cup.] Only if you do the same. Perhaps it'll help us both as we navigate this place.

Maybe I'll get the hang of texting doing this. [He actually laughs lightly, lifting his cup to drink the remainder of the tea.] I think I've been getting better at it.

[He's still learning how to use the Omni, but he's been doing better with texting and slowly interacting with people over the network. It was still far beyond what he's used to, but he sees the benefits of it.]

Are you sure you want me texting you every day? That won't get annoying, will it?

As long as you're sure. I just don't want to be a bother. [The last part is said quietly, almost under his breath as he taps the cup of his idly. If he could get used to using the Omni more that would be helpful in the long run, but he also doesn't want to annoy or bother Manabu.

Though he says it's fine, he's still going to worry a little bit.

Ryunosuke turns his attention to his empty tea cup, and tilts it toward him.]


Do you want some more tea?

Oh I--

[Before he can say anything, Manabu is off and getting him more tea. He glances at his neglected bread, and finally takes a bite of the torn-off piece. Eating the food here reminds him of what he's found in England, and he misses the food from Japan. What he wouldn't give for a hot pot right now. He smiles when Manabu returns, accepting the cup gingerly.]

Thank you. It's fine. [Even if it was cooler (which it's not by much!) he still enjoys the tea and company greatly.] I really appreciate your kindness when I wasn't sure I'd find much.

[He's gotten used to the xenophobia the English people sometimes displayed when he greeted them. How his English is surprisingly decent for a Japanese man.] I'm sorry if I worried you. I just wasn't sure where else to turn.

[It's not so much that people aren't helping him! But finding yourself alone in a faraway land with no friends is a difficult transition. He's met a handful of people, some who seem to be more helpful than others, but no real long-lasting connections. At least not yet.

He'll get there.]


No, they didn't hurt me. I... I don't know how I managed it, but I got through relatively unscathed. [Mentally he was scarred, and he would never forget what he saw (likely that he'd have nightmares) but at least he made it out in one piece.] I usually hid when I heard something coming. I wasn't armed so I wasn't sure I'd be able to take anything in a fight.

[Being without the katana, no matter if he knows how to use it or not, was terrifying on many levels.]

I do. [He nods.] I've been trying to keep myself from wandering around after dark. I don't want to know what would happen if I end up in there again.

[He doesn't think he'd get out a second time.]

[personal profile] convene 2021-11-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I know. [He reaches across the table, reaching to Manabu's hand.] You aren't either.

[He considers Manabu a friend despite their relationship still being a new one. Relatively speaking, that is. It's amazing what sort of horrors can bring people together.]

[He retracts his hand quickly, shaking it out as he looks at Manabu with a bit of shock. It takes a few moments, but he finds himself laughing lightly.]

Don't be sorry. [He says, rubbing the back of his neck.] It's all right.

[Ryunosuke pats at Magnet's head, scratching lightly behind his ears.]

You'll get there. [He says as he picks up his cup of tea again to take a drink.] Especially if you have help to learn. [A pause, before he continues.] I'm looking at learning hand-to-hand combat from someone.

Yes, I mean I'm not much of a fighter. [He shakes his head.] From Nehan. He arrived around the same time I did. [He thinks about it for a second.] Though, I wouldn't be opposed from learning from multiple people.
