[ kazunari as a person is usually full of energy, bright and excitable as he is, but now it's a notably different kind of vibe. he's tense like a bowstring about to release, but the smile usually dissuades people from asking - but it's pretty lackluster right now. ]
Me? Yeah. [ ... ] I mean. I wouldn't say I'm fine, because we lost two good people, but - you know.
[ bud. that tenseness is obvious - vax, maybe surprisingly based on his everything, tends to be empathetic enough to notice. his brows knit together, mouth pulling into a little frown. ]
...yeah. Course. [ there's a beat. ] ... You've had one hell of a week, huh?
... You wanna talk about it? Think about this way - haven't gotten to talk much yet. 'm good for listening that way.
[ it's a very genuine offer - a little awkward, too, if only because vax is also awkward, but he is trying. kazunari looks like he needs someone, right now. ]
[ that comes with a little shrug of his shoulder - he does glance briefly at the door of the crystalline apartment, but. ] He will be. Maybe just not right now.
[ but, maybe what goes unsaid there is "he needs a little time alone." vax tends to be the same, though he's finding his position as emotional support bird more and more important as the weeks slowly move by. ]
'sides. [ he did watch kazunari last week - these poor actors and their sudden introduction to being in a murdergame - and has been worried about him since. ] That kind of thing bonds people together, anyway, huh? Seems like what happens here.
Don't most people want happier things to bond over...?
[ he doesn't really have the desire or the energy to fight vax on this, though, shoulders sagging a little as he glances back at the crystalline door. ]
...I wish I could help. But I said some awful things to him this week, so... I don't think he'd want to talk to me, anyway.
[ what do you think hes gonna do accuse you of murder or something
anyway!!! with a nod, he'll head up the stairs, holding open the door. the rooftop is quiet, and vax makes his way over to the fire pit area instead of the railing, sitting down cross legged on the ground near it. a nice cozy place for bird therapy. ]
[ he just hates feeling awkward and it's been a Week.
but he'll settle down across ]
There's not much to say, honestly? I'm not really sure what happened to me this week, just that I don't believe a lot of what I said. [ he winces. ] Like when I said your memory with Percy wasn't real...
no. the wince gets him to frown a little, sympathetic, and he snorts. ] ...Yeah. Was a pretty fucking dick move. [ but there's like zero heat to it. ] When'd you start feeling better?

i mean hi. vax tilts his head, a little surprised? ]
- I...no, actually. Just thought I'd drop by... [ .... well, whoever he was here to see doesn't really matter because now he's worried. ] You alright?

Kind of a funny time to get to know someone, though, huh? You'd think you'd just want to make sure your friends are alright first.

[ but then again he's a paladin of the raven queen so like. this is normal?
...anyway. once his shoulders sag, he comes over, and then jerks his head in the direction of the rooftop door. ] C'mon. Let's let him be.
[ let's go talk about it! ]

Yeah. Okay. He can probs use the rest before tomorrow, anyway.

[ he folds his legs under him, idly flipping through his sketchbook. ]
I felt normal again this morning... like someone just flipped a switch, or something.
