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?

[ She scrubs at her face. This is what happens when she feels cornered, she gets cruel. ] Sorry.
...I'm trying to get out of this conversation before I say something I'll really regret. I don't want to be around people because if I am, I will say something like that. Just let me go.
no subject
You can say whatever you want to me. I can take it. [ Ever so slightly muted. ] You can also head back into the city — find a quiet rooftop. Or a club with music so loud it drowns out your thoughts.
All I'm asking is that you not spend the night in the segments.
no subject
That isn't something you get to ask. You had a point to make, you made it, and now I get to deal with this however I want to.

He could go back to their little house and wake everyone else up. He could point out that he could do that, see if it has more of an impact once she's worrying people she isn't currently upset with.
He could insist on following her into the segments himself, see if threatening his own safety works better than the emotional blackmail.
But he really, really doesn't want to do either. ]
no subject
If that's such an awful thing to say that you have to punish me for it — so be it.
no subject
...It doesn't matter what his intention was. Good intentions can still cause hurt. Sometimes there's no coming back from it. I won't know if this is one of those times for a while, but I sure don't need his side of things spelled out for me, because I had no doubt he didn't intend to hurt me. I only need to decide whether that matters enough.
But hey, now at least I know where you'll be at if I decide I'm done. I'll have to live with being a disappointment, but I'm damn well going to do it somewhere else for a little while.
[ She resumes walking. ]

I'll have my phone with me.

4/?
12:06AM Or didn't shine through at all
5/?
12:11AM Because that's always going to be your business and yours alone
6/?
12:15AM And I'm not even sure if I do or not
12:15AM It's your mistake to make
7/?
12:23AM You know even you're not invincible
12:23AM And you know Doc and I aren't the only people who'd be hurt if anything happened to you
8/?
12:24AM Unless Venti and Lumine did something to piss you off too
9/?
12:31AM And ideally in one piece
done!
12:33AM I'm kind of an asshole sometimes

11:23pm: I'm not ready to talk yet. But so you're not worried, I'll be staying elsewhere for the night. A few nights, probably.

[ Bad news is she's there to pack some things, and she tries to get in and get out before anyone can spot her. ]

[ Just, leaning in the doorway of the kitchen. He hadn't actually started breakfast, but he would've, if he hadn't caught a glimpse of her fleeing. ]
