[It's a Neku, sitting in his new room, looking.... grim. And thoughtful. Perhaps even seriously considering]

...so is anyone thinking of going with Sakuyamon?

[ Squall moves into Neku's apartment and moves across the room to where he was. He sat himself down next to Neku and awkwardly put his hand on Neku's head. He was looking away while he did so. ]

Hey...

[ So he wasn't a conversationalist, what else was new? ]

They don't give us much of a break, do they.

[scratchitti]

Not really.

[His voice is low, as if someone might be listening in. And in a child-like gesture he scoots over until his head is pressing against Squall's leg, still not letting his sleeping digimon go. Terri makes her way over, hopping up behind the humans and sprawling out, ear half draped on Neku protectively]

[ Squall tugs a sleeping Kudamon off from around his neck and gently places him around Neku's. Kudamon curls up comfortably and squall just keeps his hand on Neku's head. Every once in a while his hand acts on its own and gives him a little hair ruffle.

He stays quiet as if trying to search his mind for words to say to him.]

You know... this confusion... worry.. this... what you feel right now it... doesn't make you weak.

If you say so.

...god it was so much easier when I just didn't give a shit.

[innermonologues]

Tell me about it.

[scratchitti]

Heh, yeah I guess you'd know...

[He reaches up a little to scratch at Kudamon's head.

You... were kinda in a military, right? How do you handle it, when you don't know what to do?

[ he shrugs his shoulders and frowns a bit. ]

I never thought for myself. They'd instruct me to fight this battle or run into this dangerous place and I'd do as I was told. If that didn't go to plan I'd follow proper protocols to finish up the mission. Always moving two steps ahead. I never thought I just did.

[ he pauses and nudges Neku's forehead lightly. ]

...I wouldn't recommend following in my steps.

[scratchitti]

I dunno, almost seems easier.

[He shakes his head against the nudge- Neku is too stubborn to ever live a life like that though, that much is clear to anyone that knows him for any length of time]

it just feel like we're treading water here. No real... we're not GOING anywhere.

Maybe you just need to think on it before deciding to go. Sleep on the idea. Do some of that... art you do. That seems to help you think.
