[ he's alone in the room, sitting on Takeru's bed. Shirahadori's draped across his shoulders and he's still trying to make friends with Sid ]

Comments

[woodfortono]

[knocks and pokes his head in when he finds the door unlocked, looking almost apprehensive before the hesitance drains from his face and he just looks frustrated]

Hey, Jiu Wu. Has Takeru been around at all?

[powerisyours]

[ bitten by temperamental bunny ] Ow! [ looks up ]

Oh, hey, Chiaki. No, he went to the library last night and I haven't seen him since. What's up?

[woodfortono]

...nothing. S'no big deal. Sorry to bother you.

[powerisyours]

Who said you were bothering me? I can make tea, if you want.

[woodfortono]

[hesitates for a long moment, but then he steps into the cabin, his face easing a little]

Sure. Thanks.

[powerisyours]

[ extracts himself from the kitty and gets up to shuffle around for supplies ] Bagged okay? I'm no good with the loose-leaf stuff.

[woodfortono]

Yeah, s'fine with me. Uh, how are you?

[realizing that popping in, asking for your roommate and then being ready to roll right back out was sort of a dick move]

[powerisyours]

[ gets the kettle ready and pulls out two cups ] I've been talking to furry critters all day, but otherwise good, I guess.

[ but he gets it, so it's okay. ]

[woodfortono]

Yeah? [petting shirahadori, she is a good kitten] Looks like at least one of the rabbits has a bad temper.

[powerisyours]

Well, Takeru's been at the library and I'm not sure where the new guy went. So I've been here. Trying to make friends with Sid again, but it doesn't look like it's working. [ but if you were paying any attention to the little bloody bite on his finger, it's healed now ]

[woodfortono]

...that was quick. Didn't he bite you?

[powerisyours]

[ looks down at his finger; doesn't really think about whether or not things healing by themselves may seem weird to people anymore ] Oh. That. It healed already.

[ he's pouring hot water into the cups and dropping a couple of tea bags in ]

[woodfortono]

Does that happen to you all the time? [curiously]

[powerisyours]

What, Sid biting me?

[woodfortono]

No, you healing that fast.

[powerisyours]

Oh. Small stuff like that, yeah. I don't even notice when it happens anymore. It's something to do with energy transfer and such.

[woodfortono]

Cool. [sounding impressed]

[powerisyours]

It comes in handy when people get hurt. [ but it is all normal for him. and ding, tea is ready! ] Here.

[woodfortono]

Thanks. ...you can heal other people, too?

[powerisyours]

Yeah, to some extent. I can't fully heal anything severe without the help of someone else.

[woodfortono]

That's awesome, though. And useful, around here.

[powerisyours]

It was kind of a pain getting Takeru to let me do it last night.

[woodfortono]

Oh--did you heal his hands?

[hesitates a long moment, his hands tightening until they're white-knuckled on the mug before he forces them to relax]

...thanks.

[powerisyours]

He actually made me repeat myself when I told him to show me his hands. [ making Takeru the first person to ever make him do so! ]

They should be fine, now.

[woodfortono]

[makes a totally frustrated sound and shoves a hand through his hair, sighing]

Sounds like something he'd do
