[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.]

[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.

[contract_star]

[Stares at him awhile and then nods.] You don't have to tell me.

Do you want anything? Something to eat, maybe?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... I don't know.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[He kind of has a hunch by now.]

... Ryotarou.

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

[gerogerodance.livejournal.com]

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

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

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

[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]

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

What?

Gotcha~

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

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

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

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

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[The silence stretches on for a moment.]

... I'm sorry.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... For what?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

He doesn't remember, right?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[After a moment, Ryotarou shakes his head.]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Do you want to talk about it?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I don't... know. Not really.

[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.
