welcome home
Who: Venti, Yuri, Saya, Lumine, and Kantera
What: A moment of respite
When: March 4th
Where: A house at the far edge of Blossomcrown
Warnings: Probably mentions of previous game trauma/violence
[ Venti has always been the type who wanders to the beat of his own drum, dipping in and out of people's lives as easily as the blowing wind. But Tokyo-F . . . changed things, somewhat.
Though his initial instinct had been to sleep under a tree and call it "home," an invitation to live with old friends put a halt to those plans. For starters, it would be protection from the unpredictable weather in the segments. For another, maybe he did get used to having a bed and a room to call "home," in no small part because of the teammates and friends who inhabited it with him. Now that solitary tree feels . . . lonely, in a way it didn't before.
And so here he is, standing at the threshold of a house full of people he loves and trusts, who asked him to stay . . . it makes him feel his age, but not in a bad way, for once. Nor does he feel that nagging urge to disappear into the wind.
Should he catch anyone watching him, the pensive expression dissolves into a smile. ]
Hehe, is this the part where we fight over bedrooms?

Re: ota + venti reply
Venti's not exactly the kind of "focus on just one person" kind of person, you know? If I asked him to be someone he's not, that wouldn't be very loving.
[ She doesn't want him to be unhappy or upset the balance of the things that existed before she came along. ]
Re: ota + venti reply
What you want's important, too.
Re: ota + venti reply
[ It's a win-win. ]
I knew when I started dating Venti it was never going to be just the two of us. If I knew going into it that wasn't acceptable to me, and one of us had to compromise who we are to make things work... that just sounds like a recipe for resentment and misery to me.
Re: ota + venti reply
[ He's already said they aren't dating but he feels the need to make it extra super clear, and also when Naama asks if he's seeing anyone he's still going to hesitate, but he thinks he's being honest. ]
Re: ota + venti reply
1/2
[ gee thanks Lumine that's not gonna keep him up nights or anything ]
Re: ota + venti reply
Re: ota + venti reply
Well, now that we've gotten that out of the way, I hope you feel a little better.
Re: ota + venti reply
I wasn't feeling bad. Would've been happy for you two.

You mean to say you were so happy for us that you didn't even bother looking at Curcuma?
no subject
[ He is too startled by the assertion that there's someone else here he missed to respond more convincingly, looking left and right for...? ]
no subject
[ She holds her hand up, and the little bunny-eared glob of golden light zips away from Repede to zoom in three circles around Yuri before it settles against her open palm with a chimy-chirp. ]
no subject
Startled isn't the same thing as unhappy.

...You're really stubborn, you know what? Heh.
I don't have a better answer for you, though. I was startled. Shouldn't've been; I knew you two had a thing. [ Rubbing the back of his neck. ] We could've saved a lot of money only getting three bedrooms, though.
[ Of course, he's saying this because he doesn't yet know that one of the spare bedrooms is For Blood, ]
no subject
Two extra rooms isn't a bad thing. It's space for guests if we want to have friends over, or a space for hobbies or extra storage.
[ There is one other reason it's useful to have--but it might not be the best idea to bring up the possibilities of fights and estrangement or breakups. ]
no subject
...Yeah.
no subject
that's because he's a DUMMY who refuses to LISTENAnyway. If something startles you like that again, I hope you'll say something. Since we're all going to be living together, communication's important.
no subject
MAYBE—Yeah. I'll... clear all my startlements with the group.
