Yankee Alert!

[uotani]

I've got enough on my plate! Can you imagine how much Tohru would freak if I disappeared? Dammit, it makes me angry just thinking about it!

I've got my life. I don't need you "adding" to it.

Are we clear?

And take your medicine! You were supposed to take it with dinner and then you forgot! How do you expect to get any better if you're so absentminded?

GrrrRawrGrrr!

Maybe they want you as a personal nurse.

[uotani]

Then they're barking up the wrong tree!

[sorta_cinderella]

I think you'd make a cute nurse.

[uotani]

Maybe for you or Tohru, but not for someone who wants to take me so far from home!

[sorta_cinderella]

Yes, they're being very selfish. We should have you all to ourselves.

[uotani]

…doesn't that make you selfish too? Not that I mind.

[sorta_cinderella]

Yes.

Yes it does.

[uotani]

Well that's okay.

How've you been, by the way?

[sorta_cinderella]

Do you promise not to worry if I tell you?

[uotani]

That's a pretty steep promise. [But she doesn't want Hana holding back.] I'll do my best.

[kindsoul]

A-ah, please don't be worried! I'm right here with you, Uo-chan.

[ ...Medicine? ]

Oh, is your mun all right? Are they not feeling well? Do they have a fever?

[ Panic mode is a go. ]

[uotani]

Tohru? When did you get here?

Man, I miss everything.

[But it does make her feel better to see the girl.]

Walking Pneumonia, can you believe it? She needs to put her butt in bed.

[kindsoul]

Oh no! That's terrible!!

I'll make some soup right away! And find a blanket to keep her warm! And look for medicine!!

[uotani]

She thinks a lot of you. [There's a fond smile following that statement.] She wants to thank you for your kindness.

[breakthecurse]

Ahh! Y-Your mun should absolutely take her medicine so that she can get well as soon as possible! Does she need more? Is she feeling okay? She should lay down and rest so that she can fully recover! Please, Miss Uo's mun, take it easy until you're well again! Illnesses can become really serious if you don't treat them right away, so it's really important that you take care of yourself! I know that as a mun you're probably really excited about playing with Uo and sending her somewhere, but there will still be time for that after you've recovered, okay?

[Well, that sure was a panicked tangent.]

Um, but. Please try not to worry too much about me if your mun does send you somewhere, Uo. I don't think there's anything you would be able to do about it, and I couldn't possibly fault you for that.

[Though, of course she would worry, but that's entirely unavoidable.]

...Is your mun looking at any games in particular, by any chance?

[uotani]

[Sorry, Tohru, that earns a hug. Arisa hums soothingly to her, petting over her hair.]

It's okay, it's okay. She is being looked after by some nice people. I'm sure she didn't mean to upset you.

[And if she did, she deserves a punch in the face.]

Really? Thanks. [Tohru really touches her heart.] Not that I know of. She's likely going to surprise me if she does make up her mind anyway.

I am so sorry the IC enabling got kind of intense; there's literally no pressure at all. ;;;;;; <3

[breakthecurse]

[The hair petting is soothing, but Tohru looks relieved just by her words alone.]

That's really good! I'm so glad to hear it! I hope she feels better soon.

[And a punch to the face wouldn't really help her feel better soon at all!!!]

And ah, well. If she does wind up looking for somewhere to send you, and if it's not to bold of me to suggest it...maybe she could look at entranceway? I've been there for a little under a year now so...that way if you're really worried about disappearing on me, maybe it would be a little easier on you? Plus you wouldn't have to be somewhere strange or dangerous all by yourself.

Oh, and Hana just applied as well! Or, her mun did, I suppose. These things are sort of confusing. It...it might be a little selfish of me, but...if you both got in, it would be nice for all three of us to be together in the same place.

Taking your medicine sounds like pretty straightforward advice. The kind you ignore when it comes to yourself.

Omgomgomg <333

[uotani]

Yeah, no kidding. Where did common sense go?

[She sighs before getting a good look at him.]

You look...familiar...

Hello.

[onigiri_papa]

Well there is a saying that the young often lack what comes with age.

You remind me of someone close to me as well. But I don't believe we've met. Would you happen to be one of Kyoko's friends?

The mysterious husband of the Red Butterfly! <333

[uotani]

She's older than me, so that argument doesn't hold water!

[Immaturity. Yes. That has to be the root of all evil!]

I...dunno if she thought of me that way, but I looked up to her for years. She and Tohru are the reason I cleaned up my act!

[onigiri_papa]

Who said being young had anything to do with age.

[And there's the self assured grin, though he pauses for a moment.]

She has come a long way herself, and Tohru helped her quite a bit as well.

[uotani]

Huh, good point. [Smart guy. She approves.] You did too, I bet. I'm sorry we never got to meet.

[There's no doubt this is Tohru's father.]

Kyoko saved my ass. They tried to beat me to a pulp and she showed up to protect me. I would do anything for her and Tohru.

[onigiri_papa]

Thank you. But all I did was listen to a child that needed someone to hear them. Kyoko was the one who decided to change and accept me.

It seems she remained as impulsive and strong spirited as ever though. Thank you for taking good care of them.

[uotani]

Don't belittle that. That's what they both did for me. I was a punk kid who yelled at them, but they still stuck their necks out for me and gave me a sanctuary. I would've been a fool to ignore that.

My Mom walked out when I was a kid. My Dad is a drunk. I needed a home. A real one. Kyoko gave me that without asking anything in return.

Now I have Tohru by my side. Her happiness means the world to me. [She laughs.] I pity any boy who asks her out, really.

[onigiri_papa]

Yes you would have been.

Well we had wanted for Tohru to have a brother or sister, so I guess she wound up with one that took after Kyoko after all. [A small laugh at that.]

[awaiting_spring]

Taking your medicine as it was prescribed is the only way to ensure that it will have any effect. Though I suppose taking it a little late is better than skipping it altogether.
