[Despite being gone for weeks and just now showing up again, Okita doesn't seem all that worried. In fact, he's out making snowmen in the middle of the town square despite the hour and the snowfall. After making one or two small snowpeople and a small snow fort, he picks up his journal to announce his return.]

It seems I'm back now. The snow is nice.

Does anyone know how much time has passed? I suppose Ayumu-san will scold me. Let's not tell her right away, hm?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hm~ Four weeks? That's a long time. And you'll get scolded less than I would.

[He's rolling more snow so pardon him for a moment.]

Mmhm. They didn't do much to me this time. It was just very boring, being away.

Are you so certain of that? She has been worried during your absence. [A revelation which in and of itself would likely earn Homura a scolding.] By not telling her of your return, I'd be prolonging that.

[Oh Okita. You never change.]

That's rather fortunate. So where have you ended up?

It's only bad if she finds out that you knew and I think you can avoid that, can't you?

[Pat pat pat the snow.]

Mm~ If I tell you, you'll come get me, so I think I'll just keep that as my secret~~

If I wished, I likely could. But since this communication isn't filtered, she may well have already seen it.

[Which Homura has known from the start. Okita hasn't had to live with her for the past month, okay?]

Is that so? I could always hold your piglet hostage, then.

Ooh, then you're in trou~ble~

And I know Saizou. Not much can hold him hostage, unless you like being stuck with an angry pig.

Perhaps so. But as you said, likely not so much as you.

It wouldn't be much different from the past few weeks. Perhaps I can let him loose instead, and see if he tracks you down.

Probably not~

And he would. He's very good at it. Unless I told him not to, then he'd simply sit and stare at you.

Then it'd hardly be wise for me to give you the opportunity, would it?

[Then the feed ends with the closing of the book. Homura leaves his room to go searching for the animal in question, which may finally prove itself useful.]

Saizou. Okita's back.

Oh--

[Damn, the book has closed. Okita shrugs and goes back to playing, but meanwhile the pig is tearing circles around the house trying to find him. Eventually he headbutts the front door, scrabbling at the wood to be let out.]

[And out the pig shall have! Homura opens the door, keeping close to Saizou. The creature is not only small, but quick, and Homura has learned the difficulties in keeping up with the animal even with his supernatural speed.]

[Speeding pig!!! Up until it starts to calm down and sniff at everything. Also holy SHEET it's cold. Saizou stops and turns to look back at Homura as if saying "Why are we out here and why are you not carrying me?"]

[Oh Saizou, why you gotta be like that?]

The sooner you find your owner, the sooner you'll get warm. He'll probably feed you too.

[It's cold. Oh god, get him out of the snow. Saizou walks over and huddles under Homura, sitting on his foot to try to get out of the snow. Let him get warm and he'll keep searching.]

[Normally, Homura isn't inclined to answer prayers to the gods. In this case, however, he needs Saizo to cooperate. He shakes his head, then kneels down to place a hand on the piglet's back. It doesn't take much chi to warm him, despite the cold temperatures.]

Satisfied?

[OMG it's warm. How the hell did it get so warm? Eh, doesn't matter. Saizou snorts and trots off again, sniffing at piles of snow for no reason before suddenly tearing off down the road.]

[Homura takes that for a yes. Off he goes, after the pig again.]

[Said pig is running willy nilly around the village mostly, but it is following a very set path. It sometimes stops to sniff at one road, only to go down another, winding his way over and under and through different places until finally it arrives.

At a snow village. Wtf.

Saizou stops and sits. Snorting.]

...Someone's been busy.

[Homura stoops to pick up Saizou once he catches up to the piglet, his hands offering the same warmth as before. He looks around for any signs of movement in the snow, indicating Okita's presence.]

I really hope I don't have to melt it all to find you.

[The snorting caught his attention first, but when he hears Homura's voice, he hunkers down in his fort, sulking.]

Saizou, you weren't supposed to find me.

[The pig snorts again and puts his face against Homura's hands for warmth.]

[There. Homura heads towards the sound of Okita's voice, still holding the piglet.]

That's unfortunate for you, Okita. Are you ready to admit defeat and come out now?

No.

[But he will hold his hands out for his pig up above his head.]

Saizou.

[As if on cue, the pig jumps out and into Souji's hands - only to squeal and run away. At that, Souji jumps up, looking at his pig with confusion.]

What's wrong?

[Homura frowns at the completely unexpected reaction. He watches Saizou for a moment, then turns to Okita, holding out a hand.]

Let me see your hands.

[WAIT NO. Okita hides his hands behind his back.]

Only if you promise not to use magic and take me home.

[...Okita. :|]

Fine. I won't use magic.

Promise.

[He keeps his hands behind his back.]

I haven't been outside in over a month.
