[Well. Here's Hei. He appears near the Astral Theater and just sort of stands there for a minute, staring out across the Plane. Eventually he sits down with his back to the wall of the theater, folding his arms on top of his knees. He keeps staring out at Nothing In Particular.

[He looks utterly lost.]

[Falls silent. Sorry, Ryo D:]

... um.. Li-san. Mu-san called you Hei, when we were talking before...? [hopefully change of subject might do some good? D:]

[contract_star]

...He did, did he?

You can call me whatever you want.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Mm.

Well... I already know you as Li-san, so... [tilts his head a little] But why different names?

[contract_star]

...Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Alright. [Because who is he to get picky about going by multiple names?] Ah.. do you mind if I sit next to you, or should I just...? [kind of motions to where he's standing]

[contract_star]

[Frowns a bit at the floor.]

Just...don't come too close.

Of course... [shuffles closer, sitting up against the theater, but not even close enough to touch if he reached his arm out as far as he could]

[Hei says nothing and doesn't look over at Ryo.]

[Ryotarou doesn't say anything else - there isn't really anything to say - but... he just hopes he might somehow be helping by being here.]

[contract_star]

[Sorry, Ryo. But thanks for trying?]
