Higurashi aftermath

[sharpasafawkes]

[IN OUR LAST EPISODE Shaun and Cesare had a little trip down to the labs, if by "trip" we mean "a magical adventure full of torture-filled antics". Needless to say there's one historian laid up in a hospital bed, more or less asleep and bandaged like you wouldn't believe.]

*annoyed sigh that he's not allowed to badger Shaun until he cracks and lets him in on the secret*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Hairruffle]

Sorry mate, but if I said any more, he'd get cross with me...

[His hand goes still, as he looks away, out the window]

Trust me, you don't want to see him cross.

[maleborgia]

*smiling into the touch. he likes headpettings.*

Why not?

[sharpasafawkes]

[Closing his eyes tightly, trying to think of anything else]

God, just please don't ask.

[maleborgia]

*studies him curiously for a long moment*

...Is it a problem for adults?

[sharpasafawkes]

...no, just for me. Can we talk about something else though?

[maleborgia]

Did you ever find an airplane?

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh remember that do you? Sorry, never managed to find one, too busy being dragged around camp.

[maleborgia]

Were you giving lectures?

[sharpasafawkes]

Not at all, just exploring.

[maleborgia]

Really? *sitting up excitedly, leaning forward with his hands on Shaun's thigh* Where?

[sharpasafawkes]

All around, the edge of the barrier, the tops of the cabins, hunting down a pig and then...

W-well we explored all around.

[maleborgia]

...

*sitting back a little :|a*

Was it fun?

[sharpasafawkes]

[softly]

Yeah, it was.

[maleborgia]

...But you didn't find any of the things I wanted you to.

[sharpasafawkes]

Wasn't it just the airplane?

[maleborgia]

Well, the airplane was the most important!

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh right, the bird too... Well one day when you're a bit older, I'll see what I can do.

[maleborgia]

You will?

[sharpasafawkes]

Only if you can take care of it, okay?

[maleborgia]

Of course I can! Will I be able to take it home with me?

[sharpasafawkes]

You'll probably need to keep it here. It might not like being taken to a strange place like that.

[maleborgia]

But this place is much stranger than home.

[sharpasafawkes]

Exactly, do you have any idea how out of sorts it would feel?

[maleborgia]

*headtip! considering this, then nods*

Oh. I see.
