050 [ Action | Voice ]

[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?

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.

[Homura sighs quietly, then nods his head.]

You have my word.

[Satisfied, he thrusts his hands forward with a smile.]

Maybe he's forgotten who I am.

I doubt that. He was able to find you easily enough.

[Homura takes Okita's hands in his, trying to determine just what made Saizou flee.]

[Probably the fact that his hands are ice cold. Not that he can tell, but Homura might feel like he just stuck his hands into freezing ice water.]

Hm~? Maybe it's because I don't have a treat then.

[Yeah, that's not good. Homura uses his energy to start warming Okita's hands, although he doesn't say he's doing so.]

How long have you been out here, Okita?

[Derp, not feeling that either.]

Oh, I don't know. Enough time to make all of this.

[He motions to the rest of the snow village. Then he looks down at their hands.]

...Are you still holding onto me for a reason?

Fairly long, then.

[Even with Okita's quick hands, Homura doubts such an array could be made in short order without the use of magic. His concern only grows when Okita asks his next question.]

You can't tell?

[Neither cold, nor heat then. Finally Homura grins, just before he tightens his hold on Okita's hand. He pulls the man toward him, intending to hoist Okita over his shoulder for the purpose of carrying him home.

It's not magic.]

[WHOA WHAT. That is so not cool, dude. So not cool. When suddenly pulled forward, Okita's first reaction is that of a warrior's and he bends his arm to move with the flow of the pull so as to bring his elbow in straight at Homura's stomach.]
