[STUPIDITY INCOMING

because soo-won has decided to go for a costume change! that costume change is this (minus the plate), but replaced with these fateful glasses wow terrible.

he's going to literally run into her as he wanders around

sorry]

[moondumplings]

[ oh my god i'm so glad. anyways, since she's currently giggling over these, it's no wonder she's distracted enough her back bounces right off of him and yelps face first into a display.

it's fine. ]

Ah-?! Oh, Won [-san...! ] Hello!!

[recrowns]

[USAGI NO -

this is stupid and shoujo but unfortunately he's immediately going to reach an arm out to steady her around her middle so she doesn't collide into anything,,]

Hello - careful now....

[moondumplings]

[ good to know her shoujo powers weren't nerfed. ]

Ahaha..... oops.

[ meanwhile, she's just hanging here blushing, because way to make yourself look silly, usagi. ]

w0, weds probably

[moondumplings]

[ guess who remembered I was gonna clothesline you while in the process of pressing post just now. it's fine MORE THREADS FOR US ]

Wooooon-saaaaaan!

[ target incoming so hard and fast she forgets entirely about the unnecessary honorific ]

[recrowns]

[ENDLESS THREADS - but he's going to be startled at that even as he glances over]

Usagi - ?

[oh he has no way of stopping this]

[moondumplings]

[ rip in pieces because Usagi takes her chance and flying leaps at him.

haha, catch her if you can ]

week 0, post-trial

[recrowns]

[she's outside but suddenly she will manage to smell flowers

and that is because soo-won is coming along to where she is, holding onto a tray where a tea pot is settled atop it right next to a few empty cups

once he finds her, he'll balance the tray somewhere so that he can start pouring tea for them both]

Here - just in case it gets a little cold out here.

[moondumplings]

[ god knows where they are but Usagi looks up from the ball she curled into, pulling tired eyes away from the sky. it's clear she's been lost in thought for a while, staring at the where the moon is (should be?) as if it holds all the answers she so desperately wishes for. yet still, she manages to crack a gentle smile for Soo-Woo, quitely grateful for the friendships she's created thus far ]

Thank you, Won.

[recrowns]

[poor darling. soo-won will manage a soft smile at that before taking the tea and going to sit down next to her. he has one cup in his hands, and sets the other in front of her so that she can reach for it when she needs]

You're welcome.

May I stay with you?

week 1, thursday

[recrowns]

[and just like that

soo-won continues on his day! :) it takes a little bit of time because he has to go wash his hand first, and then presumably take care of something else, but then he'll be wandering out. honestly he seems like he's just looking for a nice spot to relax.

he looks a little tired, but otherwise is fine!]

Ah - Usagi. Hello.

[PERFECTLY AMIABLE GREETING]

[moondumplings]

[ fresh from probably yelling wordlessly at the others, usagi is coming in to jazz hand in concern at Soo Woo privately. it's fine, she's fine. nothing like people she's starting to care for getting injured while she wasn't around ]

Won, shouldn't you be resting??

[ time to makes sad eyes until he Sits Down and Recouperates ]

[recrowns]

I was going to - I thought I'd have a sit in the forest with Gulfan.

Would you care to come with me?

[if she's worried.... he feels like she is, so he's not exactly going to fight it]

week 1, saturday night

[moondumplings]

[ heeeere's usagi, sitting in the kitchen with her eyes red rimmed and swollen as she stares blankly at her brownie sundae. it's probably half melted by now, spoon held listlessly in her grasp as she contemplates the last nine hours or so. she's probably not going to notice if a bomb went off behind her at this rate ]

[recrowns]

[ . . . . .

oh goodness.

he's going to just quietly pull up a seat beside her and place a hand gently over hers]

... Usagi.

[moondumplings]

[ as indicated, she startles, spoon dropping noisily into her dish. amazing how it doesn't splatter everywhere ]

Oh-! Won, you scared me.

[ she smiles at him but it barely holds for a moment before fading again. haha... she can't even fake it at this point ]

week 3, monday night

[moondumplings]

[ it's your daily dose of buns....! except.... something seems a little different about usagi today. she's sitting in the lobby, burrowed into the cutest kigu and while she normally would be quite happy and cozy she seems to be far more lost in thought instead. not even the manga in her hand seems to be grabbing her attention. ]

[recrowns]

[SHE'S SO CUTE i wish soo-won would willingly wear one of his own volition but he's lame so he won't. but he'll blink a little bit when he notices that she's lost in thought

so he'll go to sit by her, tilting his head]

I'd ask for currency for your thoughts but I'm afraid I'm a little bit without money at the moment.

Is something wrong?

[moondumplings]

[ we'll shove him in one somehow one way or another. but at his voice, she starts and utters a little laugh at that. ]

I don't think it would be much of use here anyways.

[ but at his question, her humor drops and she looks down at the manga in her hands. it's one of those cute slice of life family ones. ]

I know what I lost this week.

week 3, post-trial

[recrowns]

[he's not feeling well but. hey at least that's been consistent all day. for at least a little bit after trial, he's going to be at the inn lobby with some tea, even though for long moments he just seems so still that he might as well have fallen asleep

though at the sound of someone approaching, he opens one eye]

... hello.

[moondumplings]

[ she's been looking for you, you know. the mugs of cocoa in her hands have certainly cooled to drinking temperature by now. the whipped cream, however, just looks a lil melty but it's still good and that's what's important. ]

Good evening, Won.

[ she hesitates for a moment but gently puts a hand against his forehead to check his temperature ]

Have you been sleeping well....?

[recrowns]

[oh my god honey - she'll find that soo-won might be a little warm, but not enough for a fever. he laughs a little bit under her attention, giving her a smile]

I have - I suppose I just extended myself a bit far this week, given my injuries.

I apologize for causing concern, but you're sweet for worrying over me.

week 5, post-investigation

[recrowns]

[he disappears for a while after that.

it's hard to say where he goes, or why he feels the need to be apart from everyone else - but it's certain that he makes himself a bit difficult to find. just once, he thinks, he can be allowed a moment where he does not need to check on everyone else's morale first.

or maybe it's because he thinks that seeing him the way that he feels after watching the body of one of his oldest and dearest friend's carried, lifeless -

maybe that would be worse for morale, after everything.

it's probably quite late at night by the time that he begins to head back toward the inn, and usagi might be able to find him on his slow journey back or as he's making some tea before bed]

screams how did i forget to tag this

[moondumplings]

[ usagi's been making quiet rounds instead, checking up on everyone she can find, stomach tightening when she realizes someone who has become very, very dear hasn't been seen yet.

it's why she's still awake by the time he returns, wandering downstairs wrapped in a sheet shawl. perhaps comfort chocolate will help her sleep tonight. ]

Won......

[ she pauses upon the sight of him, not really sure what she can say to his hurt. -and that itself is clear enough, that she feels the sympathetic burning in her eyes and just... opens her arms for him. if anything, at least she can offer a shoulder at this moment. ]

[recrowns]

[oh. he looks a little surprised when the arms are offered out to him - and there's just a tired, sad smile on her face as he goes to her and gives her the hug, simple as anything]

Feeling worried?

[he's a bit... subdued, perhaps, but he's not heartless. he can tell she's hurting.]
