[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

I don't know, it's kind of an investment for the future, too! If I take good care of Shuri, maybe he'll take care of my family when he goes home. My little sister will need a master a lot more gentle than Shuri's dad- she's kind of shy. And my little brother can be a total brat, so Shuri'd need some patience to handle him!

[And it's not like Mikage will be able to do anything about it back there. It's a good trade-off.

...Though he doesn't mind looking after Shuri, either.]

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

[Naoki blinks at that, slowly.]

What about you? [He wonders-- Mikage makes it sound as though he's not going back.]

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

[Whoops, time to backpedal.]

Me? No, I've got other things that I need to do when I get back to my world. Besides, I'm not allowed to work as a servant anymore, so it's not like I can go back to Shuri's place.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Ah. [Naoki nods.]

So you're making sure your family's looked after good. [Pauses, curious:] How come you aren't allowed to?

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Oh, because of this. [Mikage gives the scar on his cheek a little tap.] I got it in a spar, so I was dismissed as one of the family butlers. Shuri's father is really particular about presentation, so it made me look like some kind of ruffian, I guess!

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

What? [Naoki seems bemused, shaking his head.] I guess some people are bound to be like that... [Naoki's the kind of person who thinks it looks rather cool.]

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

It's fine anyway, it didn't bother me. I got to go to the military school and meet Teito because of it! Since then I think I've lived a great life, so I don't have any regrets.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

[Naoki chuckles.] Careful, you're starting to sound like an old man.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Whoa, really!? I take it back, then! I'm not old, I have a full and beautiful life ahead of me, honest!!

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

[LOLOL.] And you definitely don't want to start growing in grey hairs yet, right?

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Oh course not! That would be terrible. I'm still only 16, y'know.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Way too early. All the more reason to keep on enjoying things. [That is to say, stay happy, Mikage.]

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Oh, I will. [Don't worry, Naoki, he's good at that.] So where are you staying? You know, just in case I get the urge to visit!

[And harass his bro, yep.]

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Heh, well, you're welcome anytime.

[Naoki would never say no to visits, especially from a bro.] I'm at the sixth community building. Room eight, on the second floor.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Ah, got it! I'll be sure to remember. I've moved too, actually- I'm in building 4, the first room on the first floor. When it got down to just Shuri and me, a whole house was just too big for us.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

[Hmm--] Maybe I could drop by for a visit sometime, too?

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Oh, for sure! I'd be happy to have you over. To tell you the truth, it'd be nice to have someone less fussy than Shuri around sometimes.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

[Naoki grins--] You never know, though, I could turn out to be really fussy.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Ehh!? I don't think I could handle two at the same time!

[DANGER DANGER. But okay, he's still grinning.]

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Hopefully for you I won't...

[Ah, but he can only keep that up so long and starts laughing. Least fussy person right here and he knows it.]

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

[Yeaaaah, Mikage guessed it. He knows Naoki well enough, even after the long absence.]

Good to know that you haven't changed much!

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

Nope. [He smiles widely.] It's nice to see that you haven't, either.

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Heh... well, actually- believe it or not, when I went home, it was only for about an hour at most! I didn't even have time to change. But when I came back it turns out I was gone for a month or something.

[Action, March 15]

[ex_restoring6]

It-- wasn't very long for me, either, really. Weird, eh? [Naoki frowns.] I don't think, anyway.

But then, I dunno how long it takes to recreate a world, so. [He divulges this with a tiny smile, something relieved and pleased about it.]

[Action, March 15]

[fyulong]

Recreate... the world?

[...He must've misheard that one.]
