Ouch, Luceti.

[idealism]

I want to go home.

Let me go home.

[Usually he would pounce any version of his master/friend on sight right away, but--]

They being mean to you, Tsuzuki?

[idealism]

...No. Not exactly.

[It's long enough a story that he doesn't want to get into it. He's glad to see Byakko, at least.]

I just miss you guys, that is all.

[shikiofthewest]

That's kinda the pattern with these places.

[Tail swish; he was on a space station for a few years somewhere with just Touda and the kid.]

Need a hug?

aww, Byakko

[idealism]

[Tsuzuki's expression turns very vulnerable and pleading, and his voice trembles. It's been a tough time considering everything that happened with Hisoka, on top of it.]

Yes.

I missed playing him

[shikiofthewest]

C'mere.

[Nope nope nope, just going to Pull Tsuzuki in close for a hug, nuzzling the top of his head.]

I've never been in a game with him before. :O

[idealism]

[He snuggles up against the tiger and wraps his arms around his waist. Tsuzuki closes his eyes and listens to his heartbeat. The problems are making his heart hurts, but cuddling close to his shikigami works to lessen the terrible ache in his chest.]

[Tsuzuki's problem is that he needs too much.]

'm sorry.

Played him in a game a year or two ago, been retired since then XD

[shikiofthewest]

[Listen close enough and there may be a few purrs rumbling in his chest as well, overgrown cat that he could be.

Byakko just keeps Tsuzuki pulled close, arms securely around him as fingers stroke along the man's back.]

Don't be.

[deathofempathy]

What happened?

[Usually, it is Hisoka that wants to leave. Tsuzuki was more the one to make friends with everyone and enjoy himself. Something must have happened.]

[idealism]

[If Hisoka is inclined to take a look at Tsuzuki's emotions, he'll see a ton of partner-related bruises. Tsuzuki even feels that Hisoka's treating him deeply unfairly, though he tries to hide it.]

[Which means, it's time to dodge and evade the question.]

Just the usual. What are you up to?

[deathofempathy]

[...Yeah. Nice try, Tsuzuki. Hisoka can tell.]

....Tsuzuki. You're going to need to be more specific. Why do you want to go home? You know I haven't really been up to anything, mine just brings me out every now and then in those memes. I'm....here if you need to talk.

[idealism]

[He knows, but he can't help it. :(]

[Tsuzuki knows what it takes out of him to try to help, however, and he appreciates it a lot. He sits down next to his young partner, his small wing stretching to touch Hisoka's shoulder. It's hard to talk about, especially since it's Hisoka.]


.... I just miss you. I miss everyone.

[deathofempathy]

[Hisoka doesn't seem to mind the wing too much. It does remind him of that one case early on in their partnership, but apparently everyone has wings where Tsuzuki is. He frowns for a moment though.]

Miss me? But...there's a Hisoka there with you, right? [So why would Tsuzuki miss him? But, Hisoka thinks he knows what Tsuzuki means, at least about missing the others. They did grow on the empath, after a while, in spite of himself.]

[idealism]

Yes, there is.

[Which is part of the situation, really. His mood grows grey and sad again.]

But I miss having a partner to talk to.

[invisible_one]

Why can't you go home?

[Blunt and maybe slightly insensitive. Sorry Tsuzuki~<3 ]

[idealism]

The town has a barrier that prevents you from leaving.

[invisible_one]

Can't you take it down?

[idealism]

I've tried. A lot. But it's really strong. And when you end up here they strip you of most of your powers, which makes it hard.

[invisible_one]

I don't have any powers to begin with. I'm happy I'm not you.

[Cruel child e.e]

[idealism]

...So mean.

So you're normal?

[asacrifice]

Careful: pleading encourages those who enjoy doing harm.

[idealism]

Tell me about it.

How have you been, mr, Kurosaki?

[asacrifice]

No worse than expected. Certainly no better. [ yatonokami is certainly the same. ]

[idealism]

Sorry to hear that. I was hoping things would have gotten better.

[He knows it's foolish to hope for that, but he wants the best for Hisoka's dad.]

Is your mun treating you well?

[asacrifice]

We are not talking about me, Tsuzuki-san.

[idealism]

We weren't?
