Alive, yes. I think I'm more concerned about the trauma.

[And the amount of damage Riley could possibly do (which is plenty) regardless of how short the interaction ends up being...

If he had it in him to sink his face into his hands, he would.]

[bostova]

I... do not see how bad this will end.

[ She has a lot of faith that Josh will come out of this alive and unscathed, ok. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

You don't know the Daywalker like I do.

[He sounds Dead Serious. More serious than he has in a while.

It's probably amusing.]

[bostova]

[ Oh, Hikaru. ]

I might not, but it sounds like you're selling Joshua a little short.

[ She's just gonna lean on sempai Hikaru, gaze set on Josh and Riley in the distance. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[He'll welcome that. You're so good to him, Yulia. ;w;]

Believe me, I have a lot of faith in him.

[He DOESN'T have a lot of faith in Riley's intentions when it comes to leaving the Daywalker alone with any of his picks...]

[bostova]

...but you do not have faith in the Daywalker.

[ She just nods, understanding even just a little, now. Das cute, sempai.

She glances back to where Josh and Riley are, trying to assess how things are going. ]

At least, from the look of things, Joshua will come out of it alive.

[icarusalsoflew]

There is that.

[Taking a soothing drag from his cigarette.]

I feel vaguely like a kid whose parent is ragging on my latest boyfriend.

[S i g h]

[bostova]

[ Sorry, she can't really relate to how that feels like. Which... huh. ]

How... does that feel like?

[ Serious question. She gets the teasing, and the poking fun at, but seriously-- what does it feel like?? How do relationship?? What?? ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Blinking at that.

Riiiight. Your history. Ahahaha. You are adorable, Yulia.]

It's all sorts of annoying, pleasant, and flattering, having somebody at your back who cares enough to do something like this.

[bostova]

[ She wrinkles her nose, but she'll pat him on the shoulder. ]

No wonder you are nervous, it sounds horrible.

[ Is it bad that she's glad her parents aren't alive for her to live through something like that...? NOT THAT IT'LL EVER HAPPEN OR ANYTHING. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Your show of sympathy does not surprise him in the slightest, at this point.]

It's only horrible in the sense that if you love your parents, they mean as much to you as the person you care about. It's only normal to want them to get along.

[And he kind of really loves Josh, and views Riley as a surrogate uncle-practically-other-dad, so...]

[bostova]

But it sounds like you have indigestion.

[ Yeah, no, she's kidding at this point. ]

At least they are not pulling at each other's hairs.

[icarusalsoflew]

[Chuckling now, because that makes for a really amusing image. Not that it'll ever happen, but heck: what else could one use one's imagination for beyond stupidity?]

There is that.

[bostova]

Feeling better?

[icarusalsoflew]

Yeah.

[Tilting head at, smiling.]

I'm kind of touched that you came around to check on me.

[Because you totally did.]

[bostova]

[ NO SHE DIDN'T >:T ]

You just looked like you needed more alcohol in your system and no one had the balls to give you another bottle.

[icarusalsoflew]

[Placing both of his hands over his heart now, and dipping his head down with an impeccable smile.]

But you did, which I'm eternally grateful for.

[bostova]

... [ HUFFS. ] I think I shall take my leave, now.

[icarusalsoflew]

All right.

[Leaning in now, to leave a lingering kiss on your forehead. He doesn't withdraw just at that either: he's brushing the hair away from her face, tucking it behind one ear. The smile on his face is... hard to place.]

Thanks. I'll join you guys again soon.
