[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.]

Yeah, it actually skipped! How did you get it to do that?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Well Katara told me you need a flat and smooth stone... and you need to throw it parallel to the water, I think.

[knightofratatosk]

That's right, you have to make it bounce. I think I remember hearing that from someone else, too.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

So why don't you try again...!

[knightofratatosk]

Okay, I will.

[He heads over around the puddle and, after a moment of searching, retrieves the same stone that Charlotte used, then comes back, takes aim, and tosses the stone. ... nope, still a failure.]

... it's no use. I really do have bad luck with everything.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

That's not true at all, Emil! [FINGER POINT dramatically AT HIS FACE!!] If you're going to be a man you just need to keep trying!

[knightofratatosk]

Now you're really starting to sound like Marta... But okay, I'll give it one more try.

[Once again he retrieves the stone, and once again he tosses it. This time, however, he does manage to make it skip once before sinking.]

[BOOB HUG FROM BEHIND-] See, I knew you could do it!

[knightofratatosk]

W-whoa!

[SUDDENLY, BOOBS TO HEAD. And very large ones, too, meaning that Emil is going to lose his balance and topple forwards right into the puddle.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[......And now they're both wet! ...But Charlotte, at least, is laughing]

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil would probably be a lot more amused by the situation if he weren't the one who broke Charlotte's fall, but oh well... at least she's happy, right?]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[But the important part is Emil!! That's why in spite of herself she rolls off him, laughing a little still]

[knightofratatosk]

[Grateful for this, Emil sits up, brushing his dripping bangs out of his eyes and looking over at her.]

Are you okay?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Mmhm~ I'm just fine. [...Aside from now the whole dress being even more soaked than before. And having to sit up and all that now]

[knightofratatosk]

[... and the dress is now very very clingy and Emil is going to be turning bright red and looking away.]

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[IS IT? SHE DIDN'T NOTICE or did she but they're all girls here, right? Thus, when he gets up, she leans down to offer a hand to Emil]

[knightofratatosk]

[sdfklsfd HELLO CHARLOTTE'S BOOBS, HOW ARE YOU TODAY.]

C-Charlotte, what are you doing?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Helping you get up!

[knightofratatosk]

But your dress is all wet, and you're leaning over, and--!

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[...Blink. So what?]

[knightofratatosk]

And...

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[...And...?]

[knightofratatosk]

... andit'skindofclingingtoyourchest!

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

[...What]

[knightofratatosk]

[Just... covering his eyes with his hand now.]
