You're my fucking hero.
[ and that's
all the response itsuki gets for like five minutes!! because then there's a knock on the heliohoes door. what's up purples its a blue. vax is not in his armor now that some of the chaos of the night has settled and is instead in an infinity closet fit. yo ]

[itsuki, hetly: wow im about to score right now
He opens the door, dressed in a more casual kimono compared to the ones he forced on Vax.]
Hey, Vax-kun. You miss me that much?
[he's doing that leaning on the side of the door thing, hate this, also an appreciative once over for his outfit. #het things... he will open the door though so Vax can step through,]

[ how many times can you say het in one tag itsuki
anyway he laughs? he laughs. ] Something like that, yeah. [ and leans in a bit, reaching up to...pat him once on the cheek before stepping easily past him and his confidence lean into the apartment! ]
How're you feeling? [ considering. are you still cursed right now? he thinks you're probably a little cursed. ]

[as many times as needed
Itsuki laughs a little at the cheek pat, then follows after him.]
Hm? [feeling?? he racks his brain...] Well... Probably could be better, but I've had some time to cool off. You?
[he'll head to the kitchen to get them some booze, confidently]

Mm. [ an agreeing noise to that, because it's about the same for him. vax reaches up to rub his chest, for a moment, out of sight, hand on his heart. ]
Feeling like it's been a long week. [ with that though, he will follow to the kitchen. your confidence!! ] Definitely in need of a drink, that's for fucking sure. I owe you one.

[he'll hand vax a beer!! the kitchen is pretty clean for a bunch of heliohoes tbh]
Don't mention it. Crow and Kazu-kun like to drink, but Marci-chan and Marie-chan don't usually indulge...
[from what itsuki's seen at least]
Actually -- if you really wanna owe me, then I've got something in mind.

Kazunari, huh? [ wouldn't have expected that! crow, however, is a miscreant and that is why he and vax vibe so it makes sense. the other two... ] Think Marcy only consumes the red stuff, yeah? Literally. Not sure if a drink'd count.
[ so there you. have it! he will take this beer, thankfully, raising it at him in thanks, and leans back against the counter as he takes a drink. something in mind.... ]
Yeah? [ head tilt ] Shoot.

[he raises his back to Vax, but doesn't take a drink yet, instead, he laughs]
I'm glad you said that. It's actually kind of related.
[he mimes.... throwing something... it's a bad mime, terrible posture.]
You mentioned you were good at throwing stuff, so I wanted to ask if you could teach me.

[Itsuki eyes the feathers, and then at Vax for the joke. very funny, vax...
He looks interested at the offer though, but turns his attention to helping Vax with the rest of the layers]
Is that your way of getting me to undress?
[he's smirking a little, but his hands are quick and efficient, clearly someone who has a lot of experience with this,
probably because his own clothes are the same, but still. he turns to face Vax then leans in a little, running the obi around the back of his waist to the front. sisi i dont know how to put on kimono but im gonna pretend this is right]

Yeah.
[itsuki does look a little embarrassed, maybe it's because he's not used to asking people to teach him things. usually he's the one in charge? (he thinks he's a top)
but it has been on his mind since the trial, and he figures that if he's going to ask anyone... it should be Vax, because Estinien and November are scary.]
I figure I should learn something that might give me a running chance? Like, I thought I was pretty okay at fighting already, but it's definitely not even close to what guys like Bu-kun and Estinien can do.

[ hmmm. well. he taps his fingers against the outside of his beer, thoughtful. ]
... Sure, yeah. 's not easy, though. Throwing them's a lot harder than just stabbing something with it. You know that, yeah?
But, if you're willing to put in the work, you can pick it up. And don't compare yourself too much to those two - I don't know what the fuck Estinien's deal is, but Bu is a literal sword.

[Itsuki smiles a little at that,]
My goal's more realistic. Maybe learn how to throw something hard enough as a distraction, and then run away as fast as possible?
That should be achievable for a normal guy like me, right?

[ teasing: ] Iunno if I'd call you normal.
[ be nice!! but: ] Sure. We can do that. I can teach you how to hide well, too. 's the trick if you're not the biggest guy in the world.
[ he sets his beer down, leaning back against the wall for a moment. ] Wait for your chance. [ wait... wait...
and then he steps out, quickly, darting up into itsuki's space and raises a hand like he's gonna pop him - but he stops, there. ] Take it.
Then get back and hide again.

[ well, vax is here. he's sitting on one of the rides closest to the ferris wheel, but he's up on top of it, at the moment. a tall bird, just sort of watching, chin propped against his knee.
hearing footsteps, he glances down, though. ]
Itsuki.
[ hey bud ]

Itsuki.

[Itsuki looks up, his expression a little blank until his eyes sharpen with recognition.]
...Vax-kun.
[he can't find the strength to say 'hello', but... he eyes the distance, and he thinks he could manage this. maybe. he takes the steps up, and then leans against the wall beneath. he's just silent for a long while, glancing at the area around them. he doesn't want to say anything at all, but he tries for something anyway]
Have you heard from Damien and Hot Pants yet? ...About what we found.
...Vax-kun.

[brooding, valid... Itsuki knows that if he sits down, then he might never stand up again.
Itsuki takes a moment to collect the words, then]
We were at the back alley. We saw... mice. [me visibly closing my eyes] They were wearing clothes, and they ran out from the trash at us.
I don't know about Damien and me, but Hot Pants could have withstood them for sure, but we were all just thrown right out.

[YEAH!! ALPHA RAT!!! no,
Itsuki reaches into his pocket and holds out a piece of paper with these drawn on it for Vax to take. hilarious that it explains nothing]
Yeah, they weren't that big -- came up to our ankles.

[ help ]
...weird.
[ he leans down off of his roof spot to take the paper. those! sure are mice. why not? why not, honestly. ] Wonder if its like that cat.
[ and he will hand back itsuki's rat paper afterwards, then sort of glance down at him again. ]
...We'll figure it out, Itsuki. Yeah?

[the cat... the mice... catmice...
He looks up when Vax's glances down, so that their eyes can Meet... There's something still distant in his gaze, but it softens a little at the remark.]
...Yeah. [a small pause,] That's gonna help, right? If we figure it out...
[then maybe it all won't hurt as bad,]

[ oh, buddy.
vax moves from his spot at this - he shifts, scooting forward to lean properly over the top of the building to look down at him, brows knit together, voice... gentle, actually, and after a moment, his hand comes down, dangling in itsuki's line of sight. ]
...Might not. [ after all, last week, they learned about kazuma, and that didn't make things any better. vax isn't going to sugarcoat it. even so, that gentle tone stays, and he peers down at itsuki as he speaks. ] But, I think it's better than not knowing. Especially if we figure out it was because of this place fucking with people's heads, like last time.
...'s not easy. Never is.

[hilariously Itsuki stands there and blinks rapidly a few times, his reaction time is that slow??? Vax is already standing there with his fist raised and Itsuki's like hello point A?? point B???]
Alright, I did say as fast as possible, but... [that was fast fast] I think I might have better luck with hiding.
