[ hihi, white chao baby is running over and holding up an ASS souvenir keychain for Kazuki. From nearby, Siffrin looks up where he's browsing the merchandise of Express stuff. ]
[ kazuki really meeting so many time loopers, this should not be a common thing. Sirius sparkles and their little floaty dot turns into a heart when he accepts it. yay. ]
Always has been since we hatched them from their eggs in Heaven. Used to roam even on its own but... new place, so they're more hesitant to.
[ what is sirius so cute for. he still doesn’t understand what this little guy even is. ]
It hatched from an egg? [ THAT’S EVEN WEIRDER. ] That makes sense, though, if it’s already that shy. Heaven would’ve been more familiar and this place is just weird, even for an airport.
Yeah, why not? Friendship bracelets. [ accepts this from sirius with an amused smile. ] It's not my usual style, but I like having things like this from friends.
[ Sirius does a happy little dance and scurries over to get more pieces. ]
I prefer woodcarving for gifts but, these are different... and something new from what we see at home so. [ Seems like a nice way to busy their hands. ] I bet if you made one for Jonas, he'd like it.
You don't have friendship bracelets where you're from? [ fascinating. ] They're kind of a normal thing in my world. Usually for little kids, but... maybe you're right. It be nice to do.
[ and jonas is so weak to friends. ]
But if I make one for him, I should make one for Alex, too.
[ despite all the murder and despite being blown up here barely over two weeks ago, kazuki looks kind of pleased to be here? sometimes you can find a home in a place with a lot of murder because the people become your family. ]
And a lot of it is similar to stuff from home. Like, the Ikea is just a normal Ikea? But then there's stuff like Tocpe where everything's just a little off.
[ ASSUMING FIRST AID, but peeking in here with concern. Terrible time to nap and just hear the word of things!! Sirius is also here gripping at Siffrin's cloak tightly. ]
[ yea it's a bad thursday afternoon apparently! looks at all nine of us and shakes
kazuki is looking... better! most of the blood has dried or been cleaned up, and the wounds aren't actively bleeding anymore. he's bandaged, even if he looks a little bit dazed. ]
Hey, Siffrin-san. [ and sirius! they get a wave, too. ] I'm doing a little better, promise.
[ YOU REALLY HAD TO SNIPE HIM WITH THIS ONE, DIDN'T YOU. GODDAMN.
there's really just... so much here that kazuki feels like he could understand. not wanting to be left behind, wanting to help more than he's able, the constant worry of someone you care about in danger... even the inevitable lashing out against them, when you worry far too much and that feeling has nowhere to go, bottled up until the pressure is too much and it explodes outward.
ten months of that, now, and arguably the worst part is that he does understand why they do it, at least a little. but that doesn't make the fear go away, or the guilt or worry. it doesn't change much at all.
he has to take a deep breath once the memory fades out, in and out. ]
...Siffrin-san. [ hesitant, because it isn't something he'd normally ask, even in better circumstances. ] Can - Can I give you a hug?
[ score one for me for correctly guessing how to personally hurt with my memshare picks, yay!!!
Siffrin watches this memory play with so much warmth, fondness, love you can feel and see for one's family. A little embarrassing when it comes to some of their small (gentle) lash outs, to reaffirm to the preteen how important they are and how much Siffrin would be willing to do just to make sure they stay safe. But that's how it is. No matter what, he wants to protect them. Never bring any harm to them.
(Except there was a time where you failed.)
A bit of nausea turns in their stomach for a moment. Before the sound of that deep breath does make them release their own, until they look over at their name with a curious look. Only to quickly blink a bit but, despite the small confusion at the sudden request, they just offer a soft smile and small open of their arms. ]

That must have been comforting then. To find some similarities here with home.

In a way, yeah. Made it a little less overwhelming, I think.
