[ When Mikado finally comes to, he realizes that he's no longer in that uncomfortable Malnosso cell, but rather sprawled out even more uncomfortably in the snow. It takes a few moments for it to register that he's finally out and in the familiar scenery of the town square.

Well, he's not sure how long he's been in the snow; his pajamas are soaked and he is freezing. He would have just shot up and quickly made his way home as fast as he could (oh god, how much have Masaomi and Frey and Celty worried?!), taken a warm bath then wrapped himself in blankets and gotten a proper sleep. Would have is the key word here.

He manages to get his upper body out of the snow but for some reason, his legs won't move. Oh no, was he out so long that he got frostbite?! What would happen if they had to amputate his legs? Would he be able to get prosthetic ones?! Did Luceti even have that technology? He tries to pull up his pant legs to see the extent of the damage, but his fingers are so numb he just fumbles.

Thank god there's a conveniently placed journal nearby, right? ]

[ voice ]
M...

M-Masa...omi? Are you there? ...Frey-s-san, and Celt-t-ty-san, anyone?

...

I'm, I'm by the f-fountain. I... can't move.

No, no. Not that.

[ That came out pretty fast. He frowns a bit. Okay, okay, okay, gathering up the courage to talk. He can do this. ]

Masaomi, you've been acting... [ Weird? Scary? In a way that makes me want to cry? :|a ]

[...Oh.

He's been acting- what?]

I'm just worried about you, that's all. [Folding his hands together, her rests his chin on there. Might as well use some honesty even if he wants to flee barely right now. She slides down against the wall to sit in a crouched position]

[ He shakes his head. ]

No... No, I'm... I'm okay now. I'm back now, and...

[ He notices that Masaomi's not particularly enthused about this but this is important for their friendship ok

especially if the last time they didn't talk taught him anything ]

You're the one... that's worrying me.

[...Oh.]

Why.

[Flatly, looking offhand now.]

[ Mikado feels like he can do this now. He puts more confidence into his words, even though he's still stuttering and pausing all over the place. ]

I-It's okay to be worried, I know that! But... But you were like a completely different person. The way you looked at Kennedy-san earlier, you... it was... ...It scared me.

[ Please don't take it wrongly Masaomi Mikado is just super worried about you. His eyes wander downward and rest on the yellow scarf. ]

We didn't know Kennedy-san, he might have been a dangerous person. After all... there's a lot of people here who can be pretty threatening, Mikado.

[And its his job to keep you safe. His. His alone.]

That might be true, but... There are good people here, too. I don't think Kennedy-san would have come if he wasn't one of those people...

[ a pause, studying him for a moment ]

...You didn't have to worry so much...

[...Naive. That's naive, isn't it? Too naive. Mmm]

Eeeh~ maybe I don't.

[ It's clear that Masaomi doesn't want to talk about this but Mikado does ok, so he'll keep pressing... ]

Then... why?

We're friends, aren't we, man? It's natural for a friend to worry.

[After that.]

[ Mikado opens his mouth to protest, but he realizes that no matter how many "NO BUT..."s leave his mouth, Masaomi's not gonna give a straight answer.

Well, this was a bit more difficult than he thought. But what he did know was that if he wanted to prevent a repeat of what happened at home, there couldn't be any misunderstandings between them. And while Frey isn't as close as they are and certainly is no replacement for Anri, he's still a friend and Mikado wouldn't want him to get hurt because of this, either.

... ]

You know...

...

If there's anything wrong... you can tell me, right?

We are friends, after all...

[Which Masaomi, of course, brushes right off. He shrugs, putting on a smile here and a little laugh. He unfurls his legs from his position and then puts his arms behind his head, leaning back against the wall from his sitting position]

Eeeeh~ of course we are, Mikado. The best of them, I wouldn't fail that test!

[ Then why did you leave? is the pressing question he wants to ask, but he knows that's a conversation he wouldn't bring up without Anri around. And he knows no matter how hard he tries, Masaomi's not gonna participate.

...He'll just give up for now.

But he doesn't acknowledge that last statement. He attempts a weak smile, though. ]

...I'm... I'm here, okay? I'm not mad, I'm just... worried.

[He's not mad.

He's not mad.

There's a visible shift in his body language more or less as soon as Mikado says that ~~which only happens because Masaomi's from before he fucked up in canon and thus what he needs to be forgiven for isn't so great that he couldn't trust Mikado's own lips jysk~~ and he smirks into an honest smirk and then leaps to his feet in one quick movement, arching an eyebrow as he goes. He even laughs]

Oooh~ But that's a reversal! No fair, Mikado!

[ The sudden shift takes him by surprise for a moment before he realizes that HE'S OKAY NOW~ The tension in his body visibly disappears and well, gives a short laugh and his own smirk-like expression. ]

Eh? Why?

Because I'm the one who needs to worry about you!! If not for me, you wouldn't have even gotten anywhere with Anri-chan!
