1st Solo [video]

[In the darkness, a hunched figure appears near the fountain and the sound of a cello echoes over the network. The playing is precise and haunting, executed flawlessly until a single note is missed, then two, then there’s the sound of the bow being dropped and a scrape as the chair falls backward and the tall figure unfolds upwards, finally realizing that he's not where he was when he started the song.]

Saya?

[He looks around, movements as measured and precise as the music as the cello is packed away hastily. The figure stands again, turning, a pale, concerned face finally coming into view.]

SAYA! ANSWER ME! …Saya?

[He starts off in a direction, intent on something. Someone should stop probably him.]

[ooc: Pretend this is happening tonight, and just posted now because it's easier, okay?]

Riku was special. I didn't like turning him but... it wasn't so bad for a little while, was it.

[She opens the doorway to her own bedroom. It's lightly decorated too, the windows open a touch to let in the evening air. The bed is covered by a myriad of stuffed animals, from cats to bears to dogs and such. In one corner, a guitar is settled on a stand as well.]

The anger was justified but not the way I dealt with it, I understand that now. At the time... well, you know as well as I do why it didn't matter much to me, right? All I wanted was to kill Diva and end it for good. That was my only wish.

So I was harsh to people who didn't deserve it. And while I was here before, those people were Solomon and Marishka.

No. For awhile it wasn't so bad at all.

[He had enjoyed it, that time with Riku, while they were brothers. He actually... missed it. Walking over to the bed, he picks up one of the animals, examining it. He's never seen Saya with things like these, all the little touches that made a room... hers. Not since the zoo, and that was so very long ago. He wasn't entirely ignorant of her desires for normalcy, but it hasn't been a priority in so long...]

You have nothing to apologize for, Saya. Not to me. Not to Solomon.

[She can't help but raise her brows at that. Then she laughs lightly, her expression accurately saying 'Oh Haji'.]

Both of you are far too forgiving.

And you are too hard on yourself.

[His hand falls on her shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze.]

Did I wake you up when I arrived?

We all have our flaws.

[She reaches a hand up to his lightly. It's just so easy to fall into this pattern of chatter. Even during the hard times and the times when she spoke little, if she did speak? It was to Haji. And if she ever spoke of troubles, it was chiefly to him - when she ever spoke of them, of course.]

Huh? ... Oh! I was thinking about it.

[I.e. she was trying to avoid it. Even if she somehow mysteriously stays awake here, she still fears the possibility of going to sleep and just not waking up again for years.]

Then I shouldn't keep you. Even if you're not feeling your hibernation approaching, you should get some rest.

[His hand falls to his side and eh starts for the door, intending to go back to his room. It should be easy enough to sneak back in to sit by her side awhile once she's asleep, then he'll be able to let himself think on what has happened. What it really means that Diva is gone and Saya is free.]

Mm, alright. Goodnight, Haji.

[It doesn't take her long either to follow the advice, a heavy weight lifted from her shoulders that she didn't even know was there. Or had chose to ignore.

And thankfully she still sleeps like the dead at times.]
