[No, he usually slept pretty soundly, all things considered. He moves when Hizumi nudges him over, letting him take care of the omelette while he reaches up to fetch a second mug and fill both his and the fresh one for Hizumi.]

I dreamt of... a mirror. A really creepy one, filled with images of disasters. [He picks up his own mug and sets the other near Hizumi, taking a sip of his own.]

...And a flying whale in a desert. It tried to eat me before something pulled me away and told me 'you aren't supposed to be here'. It was pretty bizarre even for a dream.

[bondsofsuffering]

[...]

Bizarre is kind of an understatement here, don't you think? You don't usually dream of flying whales, do you?

[Fold it over and... Done. He'll go ahead and dish it out onto a plate.]

Disasters, too. Aren't you supposed to be the optimistic one?

[melodyoflogic]

I don't usually dream of much of anything. [He sits down at the table, nursing his mug of tea. It was soothing his nightmare induced exhaustion just a bit, anyway.]

Did you put anything weird in last night's dinner? [Considering Hizumi's more unhealthy tastes in food....]

[bondsofsuffering]

[He looks mildly offended at the very suggestion!]

I didn't! And my dreams were normal, so it can't be that.

[When he puts down the plate, it's with a small huff.]

[melodyoflogic]

[He give Hizumi a look, but doesn't say anything. How was he to know if Hizumi even slept last night? He wasn't--

...No, he shouldn't think about her right now.] Well I don't usually have dreams, let alone anything that creepy.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Stop judging him okay. He took his medicine like a good little boy.]

Maybe you've been spending too much time staring at video games? But I don't think the arcade has anything with [ahem] flying whales...

[melodyoflogic]

[He scowls a little, resting his head in a hand with a soft grumble. Yes, he is a bit grouchy this morning.] Broken mirrors, flying whales, sinking ships and crashing planes... It's not like any game I've seen in the arcade. I don't play them as much as you do, anyway.

[bondsofsuffering]

To be fair, none of the games I play have flying whales either.

[It's a pretty funny thought, you have to be honest.]

It's probably just a nightmare. Don't worry about it too much!

[melodyoflogic]

Yeah, you're probably right. [honestly, he was just tired. He wasn't used to dreaming much, let alone nightmares, and it had made for less than restful sleep.

Thus the half emptied tea kettle.]

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, it's been kind of stressful lately, so I can't exactly blame you.

["Stressful" is apparently what we are calling the disappearance of a housemate these days.]

Just try not to fall asleep in class or anything and I'm sure it'll be fine.

[melodyoflogic]

I'm fine. [They are not discussion the disappearance of she whose name he's 'forgotten'. Because it's awkward missing her when she's better off at home and he knows it.]

I'll take a nap on the roof later if I have to.

[What.]

[bondsofsuffering]

What, you're gonna leave me to cover for you again?

[He's already bored in class, how could you do this to him.]

[melodyoflogic]

What? I'll show up at work. [He just might... extend his lunch at school a little.]

[bondsofsuffering]

But then I'll just be bored by myself!

[Whiiiiiiiiine. He's only attending because of Ayumu to begin with.]

[hachitaro]

I'll call you in to school, Ayumu.

[When did Taro get here? No one knows. He is a ninja.]

[melodyoflogic]

[Ayumu actually starts just slightly, spilling his tea on his hand with a hiss before turning around to scowl at Taro. Geez, what's the big deal sneaking up like that...] I can go. I'm fine.

[hachitaro]

You look really tired, though.

[Conceeeeeeeeeernface.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Whoa whoa whoa hey now.]

How come he gets a free pass?!

[melodyoflogic]

I don't want a free pass. [shaking his hand in a for emphasis.]

Besides, you're not my guardian, you can't exactly 'call in' for me.

[hachitaro]

Because I know you'd try to skip all the time, Hizumi.

[Gonna go get some coffee yep.]

And I could figure out a way. If I can break into a museum, I can handle a school administrator.

[bondsofsuffering]

I wouldn't skip that much!

[Now he sounds hurt. Where's the trust you guys-?]

...Do I even want to ask?

[melodyoflogic]

[Somehow, he's not surprised. Those lock picks were used for something after all.] You don't have to 'handle' anything. I'm fine.

[Says the guy clutching his mug of tea like it's the elixir of life.]
