[Wow, the food doesn't look appetising today. Well, of course, it depends on how much you like mushy peas, since there seems to be a lot of that today. And meat loaf too. Who knows?

Then again, after you've been awake for the past....few....many....hours (in which one drifts off and wakes up and drifts off and-- you get the point), a lot of food starts looking unappetising. That may be why one boy is currently nodding off. If you don't wake him up, he might just faceplant into his tray.]

((OOC: ANOTHER CAFETERIA POST GET? Mingle around, you don't need to respond to Leo specifically. Threadjack! Throw food-- at your own risk, of course!))

[wh-what on ear- no not as planned not as planned!]

Y-you're missing the point!

[trying his hardest to actually not laugh]

It's possible. Perhaps Elliot should explain then.

[Well. If it was anyone else, he wouldn't bother explaining - it wouldn't have been worth it as long as he knew what he was trying to do. But with how things had been between the two of them these last few days...]

You've been acting strange lately. I still don't understand it, but if you can't explain, I want to help you in my own way.

[That smile freezes for a moment before it fades slightly. He lets out a short, humourless chuckle.]

I'd have thought that you were still angry about that.

Tch. Who said I was angry? [Maybe he still is, just a little. But...] You said that I should try to understand. I don't like that we can't talk about it, but if that's so, I'll just have to find some other way to help.

[Pause. Actually a long pause.

And he actually starts to laugh- not in the restrained manner that he'd been adopting the past few days- it was open, amused.]

[That... wasn't how he'd hoped he'd react to his honesty. He wasn't sure what he was hoping for, actually. On the other hand, it probably could have been worse. And anyway, this was his servant - things would definitely be okay eventually, right? Maybe... he was worrying too much. Worrying over nothing.]

Sh-shut up. Put it away so we can go to the library already.

[His shoulders are still shaking as he admires the plant in an amused manner.]

Of course, of course.

...thank you, Elliot.

[He smiles a little at the thanks. It was very small, very brief, and incredibly easy to miss. He was definitely just worrying too much.]

Hurry up. I'll follow you.

[There is a little more spring in his step now as he leads the way to his own dorm. It's the first time in days that he's actually felt a little lighter.

There were things he still didn't understand either but perhaps- it was because Elliot was maturing and he merely needed to get used to that. He could handle that.]

How did the town look like? It's called Balamb Town, isn't it?

[Elliot doesn't seem to notice, but that's okay - the thanks really had made him feel better. He follows him and tells him a little about the town.]

That's right. It's a really small tourist town. Small, but peaceful. The ocean... looks really nice.

You managed to explore the town then?

Yeah, a little bit. It's nothing like home. [There's a slight pause, and then-] I don't like this place, but... Things are just so peaceful. It's different.

["Different". Yeah, no kidding.]

We are only students here after all. There aren't that many expectations to fulfil.

Not only that, but... [Hmm, how did he say it?] It's strange. The things we were doing back home seem so distant now. And...

[And the Head Hunter. He hadn't even uttered those words in weeks, and when he thought of it, his expression turned serious.]

[This sudden silence doesn't go unnoticed, and Leo slows his pace so he walks side by side with Elliot. He doesn't need to ask what's on the other boy's mind- after all, only two things could make Elliot wear that kind of expression and it didn't seem that nightmares were the problem at the moment. For Elliot, at least.]

That's why we have to find a way back as soon as possible. [pause] I believe we can.

[Elliot slowed down to a complete stop, almost as though he were lost in thought. Too much to think about... But when Leo spoke up, Elliot turned to him, a look of slight surprise on his face.]

[This was the closest to "normal" that things had been in a while, and even if it was only a brief moment, he appreciated it nonetheless. And such encouraging words... At least when Leo did speak, he always spoke honestly. He smiles and starts walking again, though he doesn't say anything. He didn't think he had to.]

[Successful mission is successful. He continues walking alongside Elliot.]

...Elliot's grown quite a bit here.

Not a chance. [He turns his head the other way. It didn't bother him that Leo pointed it out - he was more bothered by the idea of this place changing him. It wasn't right.]

You don't think so? [walk walk]

Say that again when we get home.

LOEV ELLIOT

Leo is such a jerk.

Elliot is such a dere.

Especially for his servant. ;;

It's okay. Your servant thinks you're the best too.

HE SURE KNOWS HOW TO SHOW IT.

ARE THE FLOWERS AS BEAUTIFUL AS HIS EYES

You're damn right they are.

Iyaaaa, Master Nightray, how bold!

Aww, you'll make him blush.

So cute.

Wh-what so not cute. :|;

Oh, sorry. Should I have gone "GLOVE MODELLING!"?
