[He appears on the Plane with little fanfare. No antics due to his bad luck, no quiet musings from happenings in his own world. No, Ryotarou only stands where he appears, blankly glancing around the area. He sees what might work as a sheltered, quiet spot and sits there.

He then buries his face in his hand and still says nothing.]

Comments

[contract_star]

[Lurking nearby and watching for awhile before he approaches.]

Ryotarou...?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He starts a little, then wipes at his face and pulls his hand away to rest on his raised knee. Quietly, since it's harder to get his voice to keep from sounding upset...] What?

[contract_star]

[Long silence before Hei sits down across from Ryotarou, not too close.]

[Quietly,] I'm here if you want to talk about it.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou stares down at his feet, not once looking up to Hei.]

Deneb— ... no. Never mind.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[He kind of has a hunch by now.]

... Ryotarou.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Whatever little motion Ryotarou was making before stops entirely.]

What?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[The silence stretches on for a moment.]

... I'm sorry.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... For what?

[Stands close-but-not-too-close, frowning in concern.]

Gotcha~

[He doesn't notice her yet. She may catch the sound of a sniffle if she listens closely.]

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

[Blinks. And blinks again. Then hops closer. Closer again.] Gero? [Then just stares up at him in a frog!frown!]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou freezes for a moment, then quickly wipes at his face and looks down at the frog near his feet.] Eh?

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

[Blinks more!] Neee, you don't look good, geroooo...

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

[Ianto watches him for a moment, then sits down next to him.] ...Ryotarou?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[His first reaction is to tense up, but after a moment, he can't keep it up, and tilts his head slightly in Ianto's direction in silent acknowledgment.]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Do you want to talk about it?

[thedeltaqueen.livejournal.com]

[Sealink approaches him slowly, rubbing her head against his knee with a lot more care than she would usually once she's reached him.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[... kitty is nice. Ryotarou has to keep himself from jerking away at the first contact, although eventually he reaches his other hand out to rest on her head and pet softly.]

[thedeltaqueen.livejournal.com]

[Sealink purrs against him, purring more to reassure him than out of any enjoyment from the petting.] That's right, honey. You come to me to be comforted.

[Ryuuta can always recognize when a Ryotarou is particularly upset - not that it isn't blatantly obvious anyway, but...] Ryotarou's all sad again...

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryuuta, you are so very lucky that we didn't canonbump before I posted — remember the glitch card? As it is, he freezes, and pulls his legs a bit closer to himself.]

I-it's... nothing. [Obviously not true, but he doesn't know what else to say.]

[kotaekiitenai.livejournal.com]

[Loooool oh shit. When you canonbump, it will be HILARIOUS. Never one to just leave things be where Ryotarou's concerned, Ryuuta plops down next to him.]

Heeh... but Ryotarou looks even more sad than usual...

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

...Ryotarou...-kun?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He starts, and it takes him a moment to place the voice. He rubs at his face discreetly and looks up.]

... Yasako-chan.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Um...is everything okay?
