leaf 011 [text; action for Goldenrod; past midnight]

Seven and Lotus are gone.

[Ten minutes pass before she texts another message.]

If you could contact one person from your world right now, who would it be, and what would you tell them?

[Private to Santa]

I've got an extra Eevee. [The last one had been given to June.] Want him?

[People who are out at this hour or who decide to go looking for a pink-haired girl will find Clover strolling toward the radio tower, obviously wanting some real alone time. Her long pink hair is down, so no pigtails tonight. That jacket is buttoned all the way up to her ribbon, and she has thrown a coat over everything. While she's still in a skirt, her legs are in pale pink leggings. Gear in hand, she just walks idly on, a downcast expression on her face.

There is much on her mind...not only Seven and Lotus' disappearances, but also Snake, her older brother. It felt like an eternity since she had discovered that he was gone. Probably three months, more or less? And she was beginning to miss him again.

Actually, she always missed him. She had friends in Johto, sure, but...no one could ever replace her brother.]

What d'you do at night, anyway?

[Curiosity wins. For now.]
combat_butler: (If I stop to think about it...)

Hm? *Then he shall sate it!* The usual things... Late night training, simple errands for the next day, chat with a few of the network night owls... Studying used to be on the list, but that's a tad on the difficult side here.

...that's a lot of things. Do you even sleep?
combat_butler: (Bout to lay down some TRUTH.)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-19 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! I always get at least two hours.

*Said in a tone that suggests he proud of this fact.*

...

You should probably do better than that.
combat_butler: (Don't worry! You're ESRB approved!!)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-19 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
--oh! But that's more back home. Since I have less duties here in Johto, I usually get four.

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I...guess that's better? You should really give yourself a break every now and then.
combat_butler: (He was unconcious when I got here!)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-20 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
If I don't keep myself busy everyday, I'll just get restless... Besides... it would just feel unnatural to sleep anymore than that.

Hayate, rest and breaks were invented for a reason.
combat_butler: (I refuse to believe you made this.)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-21 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I take plenty of breaks here! It's not like I'm moving around all the time... *Just most of it.*

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-11-22 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
You better. If you don't, one of these days you'll collapse in a heap and end up taking the longest break of your life.
combat_butler: (Don't get the wrong idea...)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-22 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oi oi... You don't need to say such ominous things so casually...

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm serious! When some people get exhausted, they just...fall over and faint!
combat_butler: (When things are tough; Just try smiling!)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-23 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm definitely not one of those people! I'm far too good at pushing myself to the limit to just flat out faint.

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
Um...I don't think that's how you deal with it.
combat_butler: (Ash crossdresses every season...?)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-23 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
--eh? Then how do you deal with it when you're feeling worn down?

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-11-26 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Kick off my shoes and lie down somewhere, of course! Or just take a seat if there's not enough room.
combat_butler: (Wow you are tiny.)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-26 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... That's good to hear.

To be honest, I was sure you might be a bit off right now... But you're definitely not laying down, and your shoes are still firmly attached to your feet.

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-11-27 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm fine. I'm just...taking a walk.

[LIES. SHE'S THINKING ABOUT BRO AND STUFF.]
combat_butler: (They're shipping me with *who*?)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-11-28 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
... are you really, Clover-san? I... I won't pressure you to tell me if something is wrong, so... If there really isn't... I'll leave it at that.

*He looks obviously worried, but he really doesn't want to push her to talk about it if she doesn't want to.*

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-12-01 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[She shakes her head, quickly looking away. If Clover's lucky, Hayate won't notice the corners of her mouth turn down.]

I'm okay. You should go back - it's cold and you need to sleep.
combat_butler: (If I just approach this like a Newtype..)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-12-01 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
*He doesn't notice in full-- picking up on that kind of thing has never been his strong suit-- but there is another thing entirely there for him to address.*

... if that's the case, you should really come back as well. It wouldn't sit right with me knowing you're out here in this weather at this time of night.

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
I will. In a while.

Besides, I'm all bundled up.
combat_butler: (He was unconcious when I got here!)

[action]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-12-02 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't change the fact that you're a girl out here alone in the cold weather... Can I at least buy you a warm drink, if you won't go back with me? I would prepare you one myself, but... we're out here.

[action]

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
...sure, if there's a place that's still open at this time of night.
