[So Rin looks a bit... different. Something has obviously happened to him, recently at that. He also looks incredibly tired and the background of his video shows that he's sitting up in a bed, teeshirt rumpled and that new hair a bigger mess than usual.]

Hey... everyone. Uhm. I know uh. I know Kohaku and some others were lookin' for me a few days ago. I went home for a bit.

[He really, really doesn't want to talk about it, but he figures he owes at least some bare bones explanation.]

'm back. Obviously. Not feelin' great, though. Niisan's Teppanyaki is still gonna be open but it'll be shorter hours for a bit.

[There's a long pause, gaze shifting off to the side at something.

Or maybe it's nothing.]

You can ask. I know people are gonna want to. But don't expect a big long wordy response.

[That definitely is a strange look on him, but he doesn't ask. Nope, what happened is none of his business, unless Rin wants to talk to him himself.]

Good to have you back. Let me know if you need help with anything at work. I can do more than dishwashing.

[satanslash]

[Maybe in time. The people close to him know because it's only right that he tell them given how worried they were.]

Yeah? You any good at the grill?

[totallycalledit]

I mean, I know how to cook food over open fire, thanks to home. So if you teach me, I'm sure I'd learn quick.

[satanslash]

Heh, yeah. I can stop by. I've got like zero energy but I can manage a quick lesson.

Huh. Nice hair. [Said flatly.]

Did you speak to Kohaku?

[satanslash]

[Screw you :| ]

No, I came straight home and totally ignored my upset girlfriend-- of course I talked to her.

[huh that hair]

Just what happened to you?

[read: what did you do son]

[satanslash]

[scuse you it was all Yukio!!!]

A lot.

[Get outta here with that accusatory tone.]

[exaomori]

[Yeah, but Yukio is only worrying Shura a little bit right now! Also, he's not here, so deal w/it.]

Fine, don't talk about~ So long as you don't keep it all pent up inside.

[Unlike a certain someone...]

[satanslash]

Which brother do you think you're talkin' to, Shura?

[He's not, which apparently means all that teasing is going his direction.

Fun.]

[hyperjammer]

Whoah. Buddy.

[satanslash]

What.

[Choose your words carefully, Duo.]

[hyperjammer]

[ Oh. Now the fangs are out. Okay. Duo quickly holds his hands up in surrender. ]

Nothin', man. You just look... uh, tired? [ Yeah, tired. That's a good euphemism for 'wildly overwhelmed.' ] You need anything that I can get ya?

[satanslash]

[He's also very grumpy.]

Well I sure feel tired. And sore. And a lotta other things.

[He huffs, and while he doesn't fully apologize for snapping he does look sorry that he led with that reaction. Duo's trying to be nice, he could stand to return the sentiment even with how he feels currently.]

If you're up for it, yeah. We could use a few things. Kohaku doesn't really wanna leave me alone right now, not that I blame her for that...

[Just means no one is out getting groceries or even takeout.]

[She only has one thing to say to this, since she recognizes the username from her own post.]

You don't look like how I thought you would.

[satanslash]

Well I didn't look like this a week ago.

[force_a_change]

Well, I didn't know how you looked back then either.

If you don't got anythin' nice to say, go away!

Rin-chan.

[ It's a very particular way she says that first thing as she regards him and a sigh that follows, the sort that usually goes hand-in-hand with a hand at one's hip and a dipped gaze. Hers is as quietly as sharp as ever, but nearly so subtle in looking him over, where he is. ]

You're supposed to be resting properly. You promised.

[ Judging by how she's lifting a pinky and pointedly lowering and extending it once, twice, he pinky promised even and to Setsura, that is the utmost form of personal commitment. It isn't to be broken. ]

You'd better not be on here long or I'm telling Kohaku-chan to take your device. Do you understand?

[satanslash]

[Others call him Rin. Kohaku is the obvious one, but back home even Shiemi would call him that, no honorifics or anything. It doesn't quite hit him that he's getting the "-chan" treatment right off the bat, and he's tired enough still that it'll take a few minutes before it completely sinks in.

He's more focused on what she's saying anyway, scowling exhaustedly back at her.]

I can't sleep forever. I just wanted to talk to people.

[Never mind that he's already offered to go teach Sun how to use the grills.

Hopefully she didn't see that...]

'sides, all my handheld games are on my phone.

[So suck it!]

[chichichi]

[ Believe me, Rin doesn't want her sucking anything she's in close proximity to, let alone him knowing about it.

But she definitely saw that. She's a watchful person, after all, and most of the posts on the network and various social media sites on this planet are wide open and accessible to her. Of course she looks, and especially in a situation like this.

She turns her head up, practically tosses it. ]

If you've got the energy to run your mouth, your appetite isn't far behind. What do you want to eat?

[Noire's groan stutters as she stares at the person in the video. She'd spoken to Kohaku prior out of brief curiosity to assist them with a person named Rin. Though, do her eyes deceive her?]

Uh.

[She can't seem to find the words as she goes through her recent history to find the jpg Kohaku linked to her related to his appearance.]

Are you sure you're the Rin who knows Kohaku? You look nothing like him! Well, save for those long elf-like ears of yours. [Be nice, Noire.]

[satanslash]

[This is gonna become a thing, isn't it...]

Yeah, it's me. I didn't expect to come back lookin' like this, either.

[lonenowa]

[You bet your sweet tush, snow-white.]

Are you sure about that? It almost seems like you're going through a rebellious phase. [Squint.]

But whatever. I'm guessing you're some sort of non-human, so I should probably expect that. Though I'm probably not one to talk considering.-- Yeah.. [Noire's eyes slight leftward.]

Good to see you're fine at least. I spoke to your girlfriend, obviously. I don't know much about them beyond their name, so, it's not really my problem. [then why are you even bothering, dummy.] But she seemed really worried, so that's the only reason I approached.
