tarotcards | IC INBOX ➟ RECOLLE

A fight?

[ His horror mixes with anger, but that doesn't get expressed except on his face. His mouth presses into a thin line, and he won't say anything as he holds out a hand and crushes a tarot card. Kohryu will have to hover above the house, but that's alright. He can still cast Mediarahan from there.

Low: ]

Why didn't you call me?

There... was a lot going on at once. It ended as soon as it began.

[ souji could barely even think while he was dealing with all everything. one minute he's trying to stop tatsuma from trying to kill someone, the next, he's stuck on healing duty and tending to cuts and broken bones. it was... a long time, but he does sound apologetic, though. ]

... the fight was because of Tatsuma.

[ Yu opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. In the end, he just sighs and casts the spell. ]

... I think you'd better start from the beginning.

[ souji lets out a deep breath, trying to figure out where to start. he supposes that just being direct about everything is the best way to approach this ]

... Tatsuma's grandparents passed away because of a hit-and-run. The only information we were given about the accident was where it occurred and what model the car was. We didn't get a license plate or a description of the driver but Tatsuma... he didn't really care. He just wanted someone to be responsible.

[ souji's hands open and close as he speaks, balling up into fists for a second before releasing ]

He found the same car model outside of a bar and went in to find the driver. I tried to stop him, along with some of our friends, but we couldn’t get him the budge. As a result, he eventually got bottled over the head. This—

[ he tilts his head to the left, showing off his bruised cheek ]

—is from punching the man who bottled him.

[ Yu listens quietly, letting Kohryu fade away once the dragon's work is done. He may cast another heal in the morning, if he thinks it's needed. A bar fight... The only indication of his feelings is a faint frown that doesn't move much during Souji's whole story.

In the end he just ... sighs, unhappy for more reasons than he can name. ]

I wouldn't have thought he was the type for revenge. [ murmured softly, and without any real inflection. more concern seeps into his voice when he continues. ] ... he'll need someone to watch over him. Do you want me to stay here tonight?

[ the swelling lessens and the purple shade of the bruises fades into a more skin-like colour but unfortunately, evidence of some sort of injury still remains. another healing in the morning would help. ]

[ he shakes his head ]

No, I'll be with him. You don't have to stay, Yu.

[ he can return back to the party ]

[ Yu only sighs, and this time reaches out to grip his brother's arm in a way he hopes is reassuring. ]

I told Yosuke I'd be back, [ he says, with faint apology in his voice. ] ... but if you need me to come back, for any reason, text me, okay?

[ He squeezes Souji's arm gently, as if to say I mean it. ]

[ souji doesn't move when yu touches his arm. he doesn't even look down but he nods. he nods and after a second, he moves forward to press his forehead against yu's. ]

... I will. Thanks, Yu.

[ Sighing through his nose, Yu lets his eyes slip shut as he leans just a little into his brother. He knows Souji is hurting in more ways than one, and it hurts him to know it.

He'll linger for a long moment, really as long as Souji wants him to, but eventually he'll break off with one last look before moving to grab the laundry basket he dropped earlier. He'll move away to sort it, and soon after depart.

... but he'll be keeping an eye on his twin.

You know. At least until his own crisis begins. ]
