- 81 [Action]

[fortunefail]

[Ever since his housemates left, Yuan's found his home to become more and more unbearable. He's considered moving into an apartment more than once, but this place holds too many memories for him. He's lived here for almost three years now- in fact, it was Martel who dragged him here from a community building back then. There's just no way he can leave.

So in order to keep himself busy, Yuan's decided to refurbish his house. Or, rather, he's starting with Zoisite's old room for now and see how far he'll get with that. Perhaps he can turn it into a study. Anything that doesn't say "Zoisite's old room".

That's why he can be seen striding through the village, carrying a few paint cans and other such supplies. What paint color, you ask? It's purple. Yuan's taste is... interesting. He's going through extremes to avoid Mithos, but other than that, any resident is free to run into him.]

[fortunefail]

I'm aware of that, yes.

[corrinesbell]

...And you're not threatened at all, huh?

[that's depressing. Sheena leans forward as if to get up, but then thinks better of it and stays seated. Like hell she wants Yuan to see her walk like that.]

[fortunefail]

[It was a beautiful bluf. Yuan learned a long ago that if you actually act frightened towards a threat, people are more likely to follow through with it. He watches Sheena for a moment, before shaking his head.]

My offer still stands.

[corrinesbell]

[can't blame her for thinking he's not at all intimidated by a ninja who can barely move.]

That'll look great. It'd just prove I shouldn't've left anyway.

[fortunefail]

[Pride, huh? He's extremely familiar with that one.]

Then I'll leave before you enter the house.

[corrinesbell]

It's not Zelos I'm worried about. He knows I didn't like it in there.

[fortunefail]

Hm... Sitting here in the cold isn't making you look much better, though.

[corrinesbell]

The coat and boots is more than what I had.

[and yet, up she stands. Accepting that offer]

[fortunefail]

[It's nice to know he can still be persuasive from time to time. And don't worry, he'll try not to rub it in. Instead, he'll just silently hold out an arm so Sheena can lean on his shoulder for support.]

[corrinesbell]

[She's just cold, and Yuan is occasionally convenient. /shoulder.]

[fortunefail]

[The paint supplies secure in his other hand, he slowly starts making his way to Sheena's house. This is bound to look funny to other people.]

[corrinesbell]

[it's the other people she's worried about. If they run into Raine out here she's dead.

At least they're not too far from house 18.]

[fortunefail]

[Shouldn't take more than a minute or two to get there, right? Let's hope so. When they get there, Yuan will release Sheena and allow her to lean against a wall before anything else.]

[corrinesbell]

[phew. She's sitting down on their front step actually, being tired all over again.]

Thanks. I probably did need that.

[fortunefail]

[Well, the steps beat the cold ground, in any case. ... Alright, maybe he'll rub it in just a little, now that she's home.]

I'd say there wasn't much doubt about it.

[corrinesbell]

[Hey. Hey. She was sitting on a bench before.]

...Enjoy that blue while it lasts.

[fortunefail]

[lkjfdskljf well that was not clarified.

Anyway, Yuan just smirks at that.]

If you try anything, I'll be sure to let Raine know you were out.

[corrinesbell]

[shrug. Wince.]

Not much she can do about it now, is there?

[fortunefail]

I wouldn't put it past her to keep this in mind the next time you're supposed to be resting.

[corrinesbell]

She'll understad.

Getting nervous, huh?

[fortunefail]

Not at all. [But why are they still having this ridiculous conversation?]
