Shouldn't you be in the room? What if someone dies again.

[ saber says, also here, ]

[kumeyuri]

Shouldn't that be my question!?

[rippled]

Oh, I'll be fine.

[ saber can be outside for curfew because they are very cocky ]

[kumeyuri]

[raises an eyebrow

(does not admit he spaced out here thinking and lost track of time)]

Well, I'll be fine too.

[rippled]

Then I guess we'll both be fine then.

[ that's how it works right??? that's how you don't die in a murdergame??? ]

[kumeyuri]

Mm.

[yeah!!

but he just kind of gazes intensely at saber. but like not in a "i just got muffin'd to you" way. JUST TO CLARIFY!!]

[rippled]

[ OKAY THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION

saber will allow this to go on for a moment before ]

Yes?

[kumeyuri]

... It's nothing.

[goes to sit down somewhere by the edges of the pool.]

[rippled]

It doesn't sound like nothing...?

[ they don't approach him or anything but now it's their turn to stare. ]

Is there a problem?

[kumeyuri]

No.

[yes says literally everything else about uruha's posture and expression because he's an open book]

[rippled]

[ fucking help!!!

saber remains polite for like five more seconds. and then they just walk over to his corner. ]

Uruha, whatever this is, you are hiding it very poorly.

[kumeyuri]

[WELL NOW HE HAS THE ENERGY OF A SULKING CHILD WHO GOT CALLED OUT this is a grown man]

... Why are you even here, anyway!?

[rippled]

Boo. Am I not allowed? Do you own this place?

[ huff huff!! they are discovering that uruha is surprisingly childish. ]

What are you mad about?

[kumeyuri]

... I'm not mad.

[that, at least, is sincere.]

[rippled]

[ okay, now they're getting somewhere. ]

Are you upset? Did you wish to be alone?

[ a pause, and they lower their voice as if they aren't the only two people here. ]

Can you not bathe if someone else is around?

[kumeyuri]

[





a pause before he lets out an incredulous huff]

I'm not here to bathe, Saber...

[rippled]

Why did you ignore everything else I asked? Then why are you here? Remember, I know where you live.

[ you can't escape them forever unless you die i guess ]

[kumeyuri]

[:thinking:

he buries his face in his arms.]

... I just lost track of time.

[rippled]

[ ... ]

Are... are you just embarrassed?

[kumeyuri]

[he looks up.]

Huh?

[rippled]

You are acting oddly and won't tell me why.

[ at least that caught uruha's attention. ]

You're making me feel like I've committed some crime by being here.

[kumeyuri]

... It's nothing. You're free to do whatever you want here.

[rippled]

[ it's a little awkward now!!!!! ]

What were you thinking about? If you lost track of time.

[kumeyuri]

[...]

Just stuff from back home.

[it comes out as a near mumble.]

[rippled]

[ oh...

this revelation does nothing for the awkward atmosphere. ]

It must have been important, if you're this off kilter about getting caught...
