[It may be a rainy day today, but the rain hasn't stopped Emil from going outside anyway. In fact, he doesn't seem like he even notices it as he sits on a large rock near the bridge by the clinic, knees drawn up to his chest, just sort of staring at the water. He's motionless except for when he occasionally reaches down to pick up a stone from the riverbank and throw it in, so it's easy to miss him sitting there.

Horatio, Luke, Faize, and now Frederic... and that's just the people whose disappearances he learned of during the past month. At this rate it's hard for him to keep from feeling that the Malnosso are somehow punishing him by taking his friends away-- why else would they take people who had promised to be there for him? And on top of that, people have been killed and injured, too...

Right now more than ever, Emil just wants to go home to Richter, Marta and Tenebrae, even if he doesn't know what waits for him there. Surely it's better than this.]

Oh, I know! [WINK. She'll keep his secret, don't worry]

[knightofratatosk]

Um... right.

[He's... still not quite sure what's going on.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Come on, let's go jump in this puddle over here!]

[knightofratatosk]

[Following, following, and he'll... make a kind of half-hearted jump into it. Not much of a splash there.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[:C] No, you need to jump with more heart in it!

[knightofratatosk]

Like this?

[He tries again, making a slightly bigger splash this time.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[She shakes he head.] No, no... [She then crouchs a bit before running towards and then with a big smile leaping into it] Like this! [Big ol' splash! But she's laughing when she lands too]

[knightofratatosk]

[Now Emil is going to give it a running start like Charle and... okay, so he won't jump quite as hard or as high as she did, but it's not a bad attempt at all. It's a decent splash, at least.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[And when he lands she smiles and bounces a bit, patting him on the head-] See! See! Didn't that feel better?

[knightofratatosk]

[The headpatting causes him to blush slightly.]

I guess so, but now my socks are all wet.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

So? You can change them when you go home!

[knightofratatosk]

They feel kind of gross, though.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Um, you could take off your socks? [She feels no grossness here man]

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil just... kind of sighs a little.]

Never mind.

[And he'll back up and take another running leap into the puddle.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

That's the spirit! [Running herself and... jump! Big splash!]

[knightofratatosk]

[This time Emil picks up a small stone and tries to skip it across the puddle. It's not very effective.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[...Blink-] Oh, you know how to do that too?

[knightofratatosk]

Yes, but I'm not very good at it.

[He tries again and... splash. Nope, not very good at all.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

I'm nto that good either. [And she tries it herself and... splash]

[knightofratatosk]

... maybe we should just stick to jumping in the puddles instead.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

No, let's try this again~! [Throw and... splash]

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil picks up a stone and tries again as well, but... nope, still a splash.]

I don't think this is going to work no matter how hard we keep trying.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[Hm. Okay she scans carefully for a flat stone like Katara said... okay... there's one! She picks that up and aims... and...

one skip]

[knightofratatosk]

Hey, you really did it!

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Oh! I did do it, didn't I?!
