[All that relief almost makes him feel bad. Almost. If he didn't remember just how irritating Shuri could be. ...but this reminds him of Antwort, so okay, he feels a little bad. Especially with that grimace.

His journal's already stowed away in his jacket, and he's going to hold the extra he got from Hyuuga out to Shuri. He'll stop a foot or three away and let you stop...whenever you stop.]

[Okay, stopping. No regard for personal space right now, but he takes the jacket and steps back to put it on.

He's fresh out of Antwort, so he's still pretty edgy and still kind of an emotional wreck. But so long as he gets away and gets a good place to rest, he's set!]

Konatsu... [And there's a serious look on his face. That's the expression of a man who had just seen a glimpse of hell for the first time...]

[And then it sort of crumples and he's practically pouncing you to hug you, really in no better shape than he was that last time.]

[Maybe this is what the guide meant by taking people from different points in time, because this? This is very Antwort here.

!! He's just going to steady himself with a short step to the side as Shuri practically jumps on him...but just like Antwort he knows Shuri kinda needs this...much as he's annoyed by you, he isn't a heartless bastard. He'll just stand here quietly and try and think back to his first experience with death while he waits for Shuri to compose himself.]

[OOC: My head isn't going to break in half anymore, but...I'll probably still be a slowpoke. SORRY. ;_;]

[Konatsu is probably the closest thing to a friend Shuri has had in a long time. Which is pathetic, no matter which way you slice it, but you might end up as one of the best friend's he's ever had. You're not out to leech off his status, which is a bonus!

Less tears now. Okay. About ten minutes in total and he's okay again, for the most part. In the very least as he steps back and rubs his eyes to catch any stray tears, that obnoxious smile is back on his face.]

Thank you, Konatsu. [Do you feel those idolizing vibes coming towards you? This is twice you've saved him. He'll be good until he gets some rest... though you might have to deal with his obnoxious exuberance, which though annoying, is better than listless crying.]

[...oh god please kill him now. Konatsu doesn't want to be a best friend to you. ~~You'd better be a good boy, or you get thrown to Kuroyuri and Hyuuga.~~

He's going to step back a little, too. He'll reply quietly to your thanks...since it sounds kinda weird, but oh well!] You're welcome... Let's go back to the village... [Since that means he can get out of the snow too. And while Shuri sleeps, he can raid the shops again to see if he can find more clothes that are the right size, since Hyuuga's insanely tall.

SO he'll turn a bit to head back the way he came...and he'll pause a while for Shuri to register they're leaving before starting to walk.]

[Too bad, you're kind of stuck with him. ~~I'll be polite! I promise! And I'll train really hard, Konatsu-oniisama~~

Sleep would be good right now. He's honestly worn out in all forms of the word, so he'll follow you like a good puppy. If he had a tail, it would be wagging right about now. Sleepily, but it'd be wagging.]

[Why can't you live with Hakuren or something? You're family! Not that he really knows Hakuren's here. ~~You'd better! Especially if you plan to stay with us. =|~~

You'll get to sleep soon, because through mun fast-forwardy powers, Konatsu's going to open the door to the community building, and then to room 5! ...and after internal GDIT moments, he's going to let you into his room, since it's not exactly got anything in it. ~~Camp out time in Hyuuga's room tonight, woo!~~]

[Because he lives with Teito and he likes Teito better and ~~nobody loves me~~ you're way more awesome, Konatsu! ~~As long as I get my own room.~~

As you can expect, Shuri's looking at everything with mild disapproval because this isn't the type of life he's used to.] Are these the only places we can live in? [But it's YOUR ROOM KONATSU. YOUR ROOM. And he can totally sense the importance of that door opening and him seeing your room. Awesome.

Flopping onto the bed. The idiot is coming back now that he's at least got four walls protecting him.] Where will you sleep?

[You totally get your own room, Shuri, because Konatsu doesn't exactly want to share a room with you. ~~Oh how mean that sounds.~~

And he's totally aware of how you see this place. AT LEAST IT'S A ROOM, GOD SHURI.] There are houses, but for the moment this is where Commander Kuroyuri, Lieutenant Hyuuga, and I live. [They're going to move because of you, you sparkly kid. And pff, he's going to head toward the closet to get his extra clothes that he picked up from the shop. Consider this room yours until they move.

He's leaving a couple extra things he found in his general size, so they should fit Shuri fine until Konatsu goes back to the shop.] On the floor in Lieutenant Hyuuga's room, probably.

[Aww, but Konatsu! He'd be such a good roommate. It'd be like he wasn't even there! You can even still do all the chores!

Blame his upbringing, Konatsu. The fact that there's no money here will also confuse the hell out of him, because that means that everyone is on the same financial level and sort of on the same standing. Unless you're Teito or Mikage, because they're in their own class.] How large are the houses? [Yaaay, his own room~ he falls back on the mattress, ~~inhaling deeply~~ giving a sigh.]

Isn't there a couch or something that would be better? [That's what people do when they're kicked out of their rooms, right? And he's got a thinking face on.] Say, Konatsu... what is the last thing you remember?

[Like he wasn't there except for the talking, right?

Oh, his upbringing has been blamed a lot. Silly Shuri, time to learn responsibility and...uh...manners. ~~Sit! Good puppy.~~] I haven't been inside one yet, but they range in size, if the exteriors are any indication... [His own room indeed. The Lieutenant will save me. =| ~~Such a creeper, Shuri.~~]

There's a little more privacy in a room, even if it's a shared one. [He will not have you coming out to the couch and waking him up because you had a nightmare. ~~He can only hope sleep will be peaceful with his Lieutenant Troll around.~~

Now THAT...is a question that's going to make Konatsu freeze. He was starting to fold the clothes he'll take with him, so he's got a half folded shirt in his hands now.] Everyone had returned from Antwort. [A pause.] Safely.

[It'd be like a radio!

Well, you can beat that stuck up brat out of him. He's your responsibility now, Konatsu - you saved him twice so now you're stuck with him.] We should get a large one. A place like this is too small. [Just in general size, never minding the fact that they're out of rooms.]

Papa says you throw out your back sleeping on the floor. [He wouldn't wake you u- okay, yes. He would. And you'd be expected to eat comfort snacks with him. ~~The door is always open here~~~

The name of the place makes him shudder, but the news is good.] I hope Papa rewarded you.

[But radios have power buttons.

Oh he'll lose the stuck up bratness eventually! Konatsu's going to make sure of that, else he'll never be able to tolerate him.] I'll look for somewhere else soon. [You so don't get the biggest room, Shuri. That one's reserved, when they move into a house. =|]

Only if you don't know the right way to prevent that. [He's going to steal a blanket from Hyuuga to lay on. And maybe head to the item store to see if he can find more to use as extras. ~~Lieutenant Hyuuga will protect him!~~

He almost feels bad at that shudder...okay he does. But he wont bring it up. ......uh...reward...more like condemn to a life of babysitting the sparkly little snob.] ...right.

[That's what makes them boring!

He'll at least get more tolerable once he realizes that his father's name means nothing here! And you're totally going to be forced to be his best friend, he'll follow you around and glitter happily at you.] I'll help you! [Dibs on the second biggest! He'll sulk if he gets stuck with the smallest.]

Like pillows? [He's never had to try sleeping on the floor willingly. You're crazy, bud. ~~BUT SHURI'S A NIGHTLIGHT!~~

And he's entirely unwilling to talk about it. By now, he's resolved to forget about it - or at least try to. He's got a problem in battle, that can't be denied, but Konatsu doesn't. He wants to be like that. So now you're his unwilling mentor] Hey, Konatsu?

[I like power buttons!

Be good and he'll let you follow him like a puppy. Just...don't cling to him. Not unless you're having an emotional breakdown, anyway. Aw man, he wanted peace and quiet while he searched...ah well.] Alright. [He so should get the smallest. He's the lowest rank in the Black Hawks, after all!]

Not exactly pillows. More like some light padding, like a thick blanket. [Konatsu's probably already slept on the floor before, so that's not bad to him! ~~Konatsu likes to sleep in the dark, silly sparkler!~~

Well at least that means Konatsu wont have to try and talk to a hysterical Shuri again, since that happened on the battlefield and he doesn't know if it'll happen again. Ohwait. Question? He's going to lift his focus from folding his clothes, which is basically done now, to look at Shuri.] Yes?

[You're denied ever seeing a power button again.

At least you'll tolerate his emotional breakdowns. He'll follow you with his tail wagging and a big grin on his face. Peace and quite will always ellude you now because you earned his loyalty and he'll force your friendship. He doesn't seem to understand that friendship has to be a mutual agreement. He doesn't answer, just sort of nodding to himself... and that would so suck. He'd whine forever.]

That doesn't sound comfortable. [BUT THE DARK WILL EAT YOU. And he'll worry about your sleeping arrangements somehow ruining your complete and utter awesome.

It might take a while, but eventually you'll get him past the hysterical thing. Probably. His talent in simulations must have been high for him to be at the top of his class - he just lacks the follow through and fears death too much to face it head on. He pushes himself up, the look on his face is serious.] Can you train me to be like you?

[NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *SOB*

Small bedroom FOREVER. Plus he'll so make you understand this friendship thing. People are not always awed with who you are. EARN YOUR FRIENDSHIP silly boy.]

I'll be alright. I've had to sleep on the floor before. [He was probably in Hyuuga's room THAT time, too.

He'll most certainly get Shuri past that. For the sake of his own sanity if for no other reason. He's seen Shuri's results on everything, even if the final exam was quite abysmal. The question though? Is going to stop him completely. He'll blink at you a little, Shuri, before he finds his voice.] I...can, if that's what you really want. [Because he totally needs to make a man out of you some day, silly pansy.]

[You're in LUCETI! There are no power buttons ever!

I'm sure after a few weeks of making no friends here he'll realize he's doing something wrong. And then he'll work extremely hard to earn yours and annoy the living hell out of you, because that's how Shuri rolls.

And he's got no comment on that, because that sounds awful and the other thing is far more important. He's a smart kid, even if his ego is swollen and he'll go back to acting like a pompous idiot in a few days, and knows that so long as he's helpless on the battlefield, he's useless.] I do! I want to be just like you, Konatsu!

[Someone should make one just for Shuri. Tape it to his bar code.

No, bad Shuri! Learn to make other friends so you can annoy them too! ;_; Or, you know, find people who aren't annoyed by you and cling to them.

Well that's good enough for Konatsu. He couldn't exactly remember the reason why he had to sleep on the floor at the time. Ah well, it didn't matter, and Shuri seemed to be...mostly serious right now, so why spoil the moment?] That's going to take some time... Lieutenant Hyuuga is the one who's training me...and I don't think it would be a good idea to train you in the same way. [Because he so knows how Shuri freaks, and wounding him in training right away is probably not a good idea.]

[... that would be the best thing ever.

Konatsu, accept it. He's sticking to you like glue and you're absolutely one hundred percent stuck with him. Maybe one day you'll accept this.

As serious as Shuri usually gets, at least. Shuri's positive that he doesn't want to see how Hyuuga trains Konatsu. His 'trip to the Front Lines' was enough evidence to prove that he wasn't ready to deal with anything the wily Lieutenant deemed 'training'.] I don't mind a wait. [He can brush up on the fundamentals and explore around here first anyhow.]

[Someone should do that while he's sleeping.

He'll...probably accept it eventually. Once Shuri's more useful and less... well, less Shuri-like.

Hey, he'll take any amount of seriousness. And come now Shuri! He could probably show you scars if you asked. Scars mean skin, you know. =| ~~Konatsu's mun should be shot, by the way.~~] I'll let you know when I think of how we'll start. [And when he gets in a bout or two of his own with Hyuuga. And maybe checks out the barracks, though he doesn't want to do this training indoors.]

[That would definitely get an interesting reaction.

That will take a while! And a useful Shuri is a Shuri that trips over himself to please you - which could be even more annoying.

Shuri looks somewhat pleased with himself - evidently enjoying how this was turning out. A little less shaken, but that will probably come and go over the next few days. Soon, however, he'll be just as intolerable as ever. He'd love to see Konatsu's scars - ~~because he's creeper enough to watch Konatsu shower and hand him things~~ - if only to see how committed the other boy is to his job.] I'll be waiting!

[Would he wake up in the middle, or sleep through it?

It's progress, at least. Don't worry, Shuri will be tolerable eventually! ...hopefully!

At least Shuri seems to have relaxed at least a little more, though he's pretty sure it'll remain like it did back in their world. And don't worry, Shuri can see those scars eventually! ~~But Konatsu will lock the door while he's showering. He wants no guests. Gods Shuri and Hyuuga are such creepers. =|~~ Shuri can walk in while he's changing sometime or something. KONATSU WILL HAVE ALREADY CHANGED HIS PANTS, SO NO IDEAS.]

Right. [He's going to pick up his stuff and stand, folded clothes in his arms.] You should try and get some rest for now.

[Action, only if Shuri was a princess, but he isn't so probably not.]

[Action, he's a prince-princess. that's good enough!] 1/2

[action]

[action, how can someone be prince/princess unless they're man/woman? ...oh wait.]

[action, those sparkles are royal sparkles.]

[action, pfft, royal, right. In his dreams.]

[action, if these were his dreams you guys would be bffs forever.]

[action, Konatsu will stick with his own dreams. Where Hyuuga actually does paperwork.]

[action, and then shuri walks in and everything is amazing]

[action, don't you mean "and then everything explodes"?]

[action, no! then things sparkle and a bromance moment is had.]

Re: [action, That so sounds like one of Shuri's dreams instead of Konatsu's.]

[action, Konatsu just doesn't know that's what his dreams should be like!]

[action, oh he does~ And he knows that Shuri's only in nightmares.]

[action, Only the dreams that Shuri's aren't in are nightmares!]

[action, If thinking that helps him sleep at night. =|]

[action, what if he doesn't want to sleep at night~?|]

[action, ...I just guttered. Curse you!]

[action, YOU WERE MEANT TO MY DASTARDLY PLAN IS COMPLETE!]

[action, S-SOB! LIEUTENANT HYUUGA! ;O; FLEES]

[action, NO COME BACK!]

[action, HIDES FOREVER]

[action, SEARCHES FOREVER]

[action, DOESN'T MAKE A SOUND]
