[ After the conversation on EMBER, the two of them agreed to meet up outside a store in Tamamo turf. There was talk that maybe the turf war was going to reach some kind of conclusion, but in any case Skylark didn't really look like someone you'd expect to be in Shuten, so it was easy to keep his head down and not attract any unwanted attention. Just in case.
He takes a look around to see if he can find Nazuna... ]
[Nazuna had heard rumors about it-- but in the end, he didn't have any intention of letting something like a silly turf war sway his decisions. He'd had more than his fair share of such petty battles. If anyone wanted to start something then he'd be more than happy to finish it.
So he gets himself there a little early so he can greet Skylark first when he arrives; waving at the younger boy.]
[Sure he was the one who asked but he wouldn't have complained if Skylark didn't use it-- but it's really cute to hear him trying. Even Kagehira could say it with more confidence than that. But no laughing, no teasing... he was sincere about it after all.]
You didn't have any trouble finding the place, did you?
Good, good... it's a pretty big place, but I tried to pick a good location. And you don't gotta thank me for something like this. It's nice being able to put what I know to good use~
[ He follows Nazuna's lead, and steps into the store. It's the kind of store that stocks up chic fashion, at a reasonable (for this district) price. Skylark is mostly in awe however, seeing rows of already completed outfits on display in fashions he's never seen. ]
[C u t e. Even for him, the selection here was impressive. The kind of things he'd seen in magazines or heard Shu talk about-- but never really saw. If you didn't even have that kind of exposure though... it would probably be a lot to take in.]
Wanna look around a little first? There's no rush. We've got plenty of time.
[ Since Nazuna is basically encouraging him, he'll do his best! After looking around a bit, he finds a sleeveless top with a back window, and seems to be examining it... ]
[In hindsight he can tell when he probably should have said something sooner— this has definitely been one of those times. His voice is still a bit off from all the smoke he took in but he does his best to sound upbeat… even if he knows if won’t do much.
He feels several complicated emotions tug at his heart.]
…when I showed up there were a bunch of guys surrounding the place. But I’m guessing they weren’t expecting so much resistance.
[He doesn’t want to think that they did that as anything less than a final resort…]
It… things got a bit rough with the fire, but… the burns were pretty minor, and they’ve already healed for the most part. My throat is gonna take some time, but I’ll be okay.
I don’t really get it but Aerith was able to help a lot with the initial pain. Honestly you can barely see it now.
[He’s working on being better at relying on others. And being in a position to make himself rest helps— because honestly at this point he’d be happy just to see others.]
…but I wouldn’t say no to some hot tea. It wouldn’t be bad to have a visitor either.

voice; after the flower shop raid
[He sounds tense.]
no subject
Hey, Sana-chin…
no subject
You're safe? I went by the flower shop... I was concerned something might've happened while you were there.
no subject
Yeah, I’m safe now. Sorry if I worried you.
no subject
[He didn't even know if Nazuna was there. And now it's confirmed. He's safe now. Which means he wasn't.
The bullshit politics in this place are finally starting to get on his nerves.]
Were you hurt?

I'm sure you're under good medical care, but if I can do anything for you, please ask.

no subject
Shall I come around now? I'm not working at the moment.
[He will absolutely be inspecting those wounds himself, though. The fact that anyone made Nazuna experience undue pain is... infuriating.]
no subject
And since you’re visiting, I’ll save the good news for when you get here.
no subject
[At least there's some good news to go with it.]
For what it's worth, I'm glad you're not too badly injured.
no subject
[Weh…]
You too. I’ll see you soon.
