Does... does anyone know what I can do to help? I can dig holes and tunnels really quickly... maybe I could help with the barricades? I just... don't know what else...

[Simon is hanging around outside the house he and Kamina have shared for a while, looking rather pathetic, sitting in the dirt and sharpening his drill. The house is way too big and lonely for just one person, especially when he's used to living with someone as loud and outgoing as Kamina, so he doesn't really want to be inside right now.

He's been suitably freaked out since the sacrifice post and hasn't really talked to anyone about it, and with both Cloud and Kamina gone now and the entire village working away at protecting it from whatever's coming, he feels pretty lost in the flow of things. Bother? Console? Harass? W/E D| ]

I think so! You should meet the Colonel, anyway. And I'm sure His Majesty and Nephry would be okay with it - you really shouldn't be alone at a time like this, you know?

W... well. [He can't exactly argue with that, since he really doesn't want to be alone, anyway.] ...Majesty? Who's that?

Oh, Emperor Peony lives with us! Well, it's more like he told us to come live with him since he says the apartments are too small.

An emperor? Is that anything like a king?

He's a king, yup! With a great big palace and everything~! ♥

Wow... I've never seen a palace before. It must be pretty amazing, huh?

It is!! It's so pretty~ It's big, and has a lot of rooms, and Grand Chokmah is just so beautiful~ ♥ [Insert dreamy sigh here.]

I heard that on my world, there's a city on the surface, but I've never seen it. I wonder if it's beautiful, too? [Bloody unlikely, though. Most of the Beastmen's designs were built for function, not how they looked.]

You should go see it, once you get back to your world! And then you'll have to tell me about it, okay? [Because to Anise, tbey're obviously going to find a way to keep in touch when they go their separate ways. Obviously. |D]

[Considering Simon becomes a pro at cross-dimensional travel by the time he's 22, her assumption isn't far off.]

Okay, it's a promise! And then you can show me Grand Chokmah, right?

Yup, you can count on it! ♥

For now, though, I guess we better get some of your stuff, right? Since we don't know how long you'll be staying~?

I could pack up a few things... but are you really sure it's okay?

[She nods and gets up, brushing the dust from her uniform.] Don't worry about it. It'll be fine~ ♥ Better than letting you stay here by yourself, right?

Right. [Simon rises with her, starting for the door.] You, um, want to come with me?

[She's already turned to the door.] Sure thing! I'll help you pack up, we'll finish in no time at all!

[He looks a bit relieved. Even for a little bit, he doesn't really feel like being alone.] Y-you don't have to pack anything! It's just... um... you know. It's nice to have company...

Hm~? But between the two of us, we'll finish really quickly!

Unless there's something you're hiding~? ♥

H-hiding? No, no! Of course not! [SHE JUST HAS NO BUSINESS SEEING HIS UNDERWEAR IS ALL.]

Then you'll let me help, no problem~! [We just love it when things work in our favor. Skipping into the house now~]

[SOB. Simon slinks along with her, leading her to his room. Hopefully he can get to what he needs before she does. D|]

[Well, since she doesn't really know where anything is, she'll hang around his door for a moment.]

It's so quiet here.

[Simon slumps a bit at that, grabbing a bag from somewhere and gathering up some clothes. It has been too quiet in the past few days.] Yeah... it's always quiet when aniki isn't here.

[She walks on over to help with the clothes, but also because she doesn't like the look on his face. Did we say something we shouldn't have?]

He'll be back, Simon. I bet the Malnosso'll think he's way too loud and annoying to keep him for very long.

[Naw, he's just easily depressed when he feels helpless. Also kidnapping Kamina is about the same as killing what little ego he has.]

I hope so. He's pretty loud, isn't he?

He's really noisy and loud and annoying! But I guess that makes him kind of fun, maybe. Sometimes?

So yeah, don't worry too much, Simon! He'll be okay.
