048 [Voice | Action]

...oh. They really did leave me in the woods.

...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

[Souji's back from his mallynap as a kid; a kid totally opposite of what he's usually like. He vaguely remembers Luceti and is wandering around in the woods on the edge of town, confused and dragging his journal around.]

While that sounds pretty, you know as well as I do that can't happen. If he is here, I cannot be. If I am here, he cannot be. Just because I'm a child does not mean I am stupid.

[Soujirou turns toward Homura, bows, and then steps inside, closing the door behind him.]

[How cute. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work. By the time Okita's got the door closed, Homura has teleported himself back inside, just beyond where the boy is standing.]

I didn't say you were.

Are you afraid of going back when he returns? Supposedly, those that vanish are sent back to their own worlds.

[WHAT THE FRACK IS THAT. Soujirou jumps, flattening himself against the door. He doesn't know what you're saying, Homura. All he knows is that you suddenly appeared in front of him and you should be outside. You should be outside.]

What are you?!

[Figures. But Okita's reaction is rather priceless, but Homura doesn't mind repeating himself.]

A god.

[A god. He says it so easily, but Soujirou doesn't believe in the gods anymore. He believes there are demons that take the shape and form of people, that there are things unexplainable and things that require suspended belief, but this? He can't even compute this. Instead of saying anything else, Soujirou runs for cover.]

[Homura watches Okita dash off, shaking his head slightly. The boy is clearly afraid, but it won't do much good; Homura is planning on eating dinner there that night.

So he'll just wait. Patience being a virtue that Homura has in abundance, he watches Okita go, then makes himself comfortable in the meantime.]

[And the kid isn't going to move from his seat until someone explains to him that this man isn't here to like...eat him. Or something.]

Re: [action]

[Poor kid.

Even if Homura doesn't give physical chase, his voice carries fairly well. So after the silence has stretched on for a few minutes, he calls out to the boy.]

You do understand that if I wanted to harm you, I could've done so at any time, without revealing myself. That isn't my intention at all.

[And from his hiding place, Soujirou snaps back.]

And you still could. Who says I have to trust you?
