People come every month, right? That's what I'm getting from this place.

[Hikaru's been very, very quiet lately. Holed up alone in his apartment, working on designs and sewing new clothes with his lovely friend -- a sewing machine.

But it's nearly that time again, so... he's gotten a little restless.]

Could everyone keep an eye out for Hitachiin Kaoru for me? I know he's coming. ["He wouldn't make me spend Christmas alone."] I'm just worried, you know? That he'll end up somewhere remote. So, just keep a lookout, okay?

Anyway.

Someone told me that you guys have a pretty major Christmas party here, so I'm totally taking commissions for clothes.

No set price. Tell me what you want, and we can negotiate what I want in return.

...It's okay. Still just us when it comes down to it, though.

Re: [Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

Except for here, thus far.

Shall you try to use those tricks in this place?

[Video--Locked]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Probably not.

Re: [Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

Not going to bother with the friend nonsense then?

Though people here tend to fall over themselves to make friends.

[Video--Locked]

[hikaruorkaoru]

I might when Kaoru comes. Maybe. If he wants to.

Re: [Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

Ah, just waiting until then.

Nothing wrong with a bit of watch and wait. Get the lay of the land.

[hikaruorkaoru]

There's no point in bothering if Kaoru isn't here.

Re: [Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

If he isn't here, what else do you have?

[Video--Locked]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Nothing.

[It's a simple, easy answer. It doesn't require thought because the answer is obvious.]

Re: [Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

I hadn't thought you the sort to be satisfied with nothing.

[Video--Locked]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Kaoru's going to come. Then it'll be fine.

Re: [Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

[Hey, he's not the camp guidance counselor. He just likes poking things with sticks, so to speak. And boy, he just hopes that Hikaru has his next suit done before his denial runs out.]

As you say.

[Video--Locked]

[hikaruorkaoru]

[The denial is deep and nearly endless. For now.]

I should have the suit done in a week or two. Plenty of time for Christmas.

[complicatedliar]

Excellent. I'll be by within the next hour to collect a bit of blood. I'll have the charm to you within two days.

[hikaruorkaoru]

[It takes a few seconds, but it does come. A bit quieter and less brash than he usually is--]

Thanks.

[Video--Locked]

[complicatedliar]

You are welcome.

[He likes it when people owe him.]

(ooc: I'm good with handwaving the blood gathering. Loki will make Hikaru a compass that will point toward him unerringly until the day Kaoru arrives, at which time it will point toward Kaoru. Since I know we have one coming! 8D)

(ooc2: Also, because it's Loki, he'll be keeping a little of Hikaru's blood somewhere safe. Just in case it ever comes in handy for some reason. >.>)
