It wasn't a dream?

[Hamuko looks a little disheveled, as if she's just woken up. Which... she has.]

...How long was I asleep?

<sub>[Even if he wasn't in her room when she woke up, Minato has been keeping tabs on his sister, because it is pretty worrisome when someone just collapses into unconsciousness. Hence, when he's in the kitchen, just finishing up an early lunch, and he notices the new video broadcast via the mirrors, he doesn't bother responding in kind, instead - leaving his lunch things on the table - getting up and hurrying over to Hamuko's room.

He knocks twice to let her know that someone is there before opening the door and stepping in.]</sub>

Glad to see you're awake, Hamuko. ... how are you feeling?

_{[He's actually properly smiling, too.]}

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

[You look good with a smile on your face! Hamuko... is a little more resigned.]

I think I... got rid of the Dark Hour.

[fools_journey]

_{[That sobers him a little, and the smile fades a bit as he takes a seat beside her (being careful to avoid sitting on his tail, because that hurts), nodding. It's not that the smile disappears altogether but more that it becomes a little sad. Not regretful, mind you - just sad. It's because if the way she did it is at all the same as the way he did, he isn't really sure to be happy or not, hearing the news.]}

Congratulations, and... I'm sorry.

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

Yeah... no, don't be sorry. It's best this way. Everyone else is alive and happy.

[fools_journey]

_{[Everyone else... Then things had gone more or less the same for her as well.]}

Yes... that is true. I suppose I just hoped maybe you would find a different way.

_{[But if she has no regrets, he supposes he is satisfied.]}

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

There needs to be someone holding Nyx at bay. I'm okay with being the one.

[fools_journey]

_{[He nods.]} Good.

_{[And then a pause as he hesitates about saying something.]} I'm glad you're back here, again, in any case.

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

...I think it's a pretty good privilege, yeah.

[fools_journey]

_{[He looks down and puts his hands into his pockets, because apparently that's just what he does.]}

By the way, although it's been months for you, it's only been about two days here.

... You were sleeping? [ Usagi blinks at the screen a bit curiously. ]

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure for how long, but... yeah.

[selene]

Well.. If it wasn't for too long, then that's normal, right? [ She laughs, even if there's something very slightly awkward about it. ] Everyone sleeps for a while at night!

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

I think I was asleep for a few days, here.

[selene]

A few days in a row? [ At that she does sound surprised. ]

Are you sure that's normal..?

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

Well, no, I'm not, but I seem to be all in one piece.

[selene]

... Well.. I guess it's okay then, right? [ a somewhat awkward giggle. ] And you don't feel strange or anything like that either?

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

...Mm. I'm fine.

Hamuko-chan!!

[ there is a crash as teddie tears to her room ]

You're awake! I was going to kiss you soon, if you didn't wake up.

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

--GAH!

[TEDDIE YOU GOTTA KNOCK Hamuko hurriedly quits messing with her tail and tucks it under her robe.]

T-Teddie, you surprised me!

[bearpuns]

[ KNOCKING? WHAT IS THAT, TEDDIE DOESN'T DO IT :T also it's okay, teddie has long golden locks now...which is up in pig tails at the moment ]

Sorry, I just wanted to make sure you were okay!

[ he looks worried, since Nanako fell asleep at home and didn't wake up much either...]

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

I-it's fine, I just had to "go home" for a little while. I had to go home and fix things.

[bearpuns]

[ Teddie looks curious, but understands ]


So did everything at your home turn out okay?

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, ultimately, it did.

[S-sigh...]

Hey, Teddie... you said you were a Shadow, right?

[bearpuns]

[ Teddie looks a little unsure, since these people are from a similar world like theirs...He's still a little awkward about it, mostly because he knows how shadows are viewed ]

Uhm...Yeah, I am.

[fools-maiden.livejournal.com]

...I met someone, who kind of reminds me of you, now that I think about it. He... didn't know he was a shadow, so he acted normal, just like you. [Until he found out what he was.]

You said, before, that you don't know anything about the Dark Hour. Do you know anything about... the end of the world? About Nyx?
