( wow???????? )

... I'm knocking you off your broom next time.

( ... Then he'd catch him :/ )

( ughhhhhh

But, fine, he'll give it thought, because arguing with Ahito about it clearly isn't getting anywhere (for some reason). He stands, though, since Ahito wants to git. )


... If there was anything else you noticed or that it said. It told me it was bound by a promise, as a wizard, so it couldn't move on. Stuff like that.

( About what he expected, but it's good to confirm.

Ultimately... it might not matter so long as this remains a one-off instance. But they don't really know if this is a one-off instance, is it? Maybe the other people in Central were also...?

Concerning, if so. )


... Maybe the manor should try a exorcism of everyone from Central just in case. The guy with glasses might not have been the only one with a rider.

( Just the only one whose rider manifested - for now. He hesitates to just ask Tatara to organize this, though; Tatara seems the type to say he'll look into it, but not take decisive action immediately. He still doesn't think there's been a PSA about promises, either. So it's... kind of up to them.

He feels stressed out already. )

"Cursed but safe"? How does that make sense?

If whatever they did to get the ghost out of that guy doesn't cause any problems for the host, I don't see why any of them would object, in any case.

( hewo..................? )

... That doesn't sound safe to me in any sense of the word. Like, at all.

Yeah, well, neither was the other guy until the ghost got active.

( No winning against paranoid people. )

... I'll go figure out something about all that. You just stay in bed.

( nvm what you said about getting up. none of that anymore. )

Since I could hear that you need more sleep. You're not recovered from that whole thing.

( Maybe it would've been better if Mika got scared off the night before because, unfortunately, him fussing is Annoying. )

( Mika is quiet, and he listens. He lets the sounds linger in the air, near invisible, for a few moments longer, even as the magic fades, before he speaks. )

... Better. ( Better than before, arguably. ) Else I would've bound you to your bed.

( Joke? (Real.) )

... I won't make you tell me things. ( He did say he's not fixated on secrets (—So long as they don't make him worried about the future). ) But don't make me bug you, either.

( In less brusque words - don't forget to look out for yourself regularly... That's a lot of baggage, and the Akira thing clearly didn't help. )

Sure.

( Mika, as always, is skeptical when it comes to Ahito's health. But he's finally heading for the window, anyway, and the pane pushes open with magic. )

Don't get caught by another ghost again.

( Anyway I thought about it and nvm Mika definitely has ethical concerns about eating rocks, but it's Ahito's problem now - he glances at the bag, then to Ahito, like he intends to add something, but decides against it. He's said his piece and doesn't want to be hit with a remark about caring again, so. )
