Meet your new roommates.

[wrightingwrongs]

WHO: Nick and the residents of Nonah 05
WHERE: Nonah 05
WHEN: Midday, February 6th.
WHAT: Nick tries to get into his room without incident, meets his new roommates - and an old one, too.
WARNINGS: There will PROBABLY be gross tears when Maya gets involved. Also: Akira boys.

[This is not how Nick wanted to get to what was clearly the quarters he'd be assigned.

Still stuck as a small bird - with a plume of fire trailing off his slightly distinctly feathered head. He still wasn't yet used to this body - feathers and fire - ugh, why did it have to be fire... A flash of memory of what had been merely hours ago for him - but the calendar clearly said February.]

(Not that that's any better...)

[Unfortunately, it seems that Nonah 05 is a rather loud place - which puts a damper on the "get inside, not embarrass self further" plan. What's a bird to do?

Luckily, Nick sees an attempt to actually perhaps get to his room and figure out this whole "being a bird" dilemma - an open windowsill.]

(Okay Phoenix... you can do this. It can't be -that- hard to fly, right...?)

[Taking as deep a breath as he can, he flaps those wings, pushing himself off the ground, and soaring in the air-

straight past the windowsill, and into the window.

Turns out, flying? Way harder than it looks. Anyone in the Nonah 05 living room may want to look out.]

[Kaneda accepts him willingly, pulling him close to his chest.]

Exactly. Defense attorneys don't even WIN. Fuck 12 times...

[amadaman]

[Ken always does his best to hold Koromaru and Koromaru does his best to fit, but Kaneda is still bigger with longer and -- currently especially -- stronger arms. He wiggles around to get comfortable, then nudges his wet nose at Kaneda's face.]

I bet it's a crazy world.

He's probably not a bad person, though. If he's good for Maya-san...

[rassera]

[Kaneda's head tilts back a little, surprised by the cold, wet nose against his face. It's not unwelcome, though. Kaneda's always had a fondness for dogs since he got Capsule, despite his reason to hate them otherwise. His arms fit Koromaru easily in them, and with a little adjustment, has a nice comfortable hold on him to give a quick 'boop' on his nose.]

Yeah...it's like she's completely different from how she was this morning.

[amadaman]

[Koromaru's reaction is to try to catch that booping finger with his mouth, but not seriously so. He's not about to bite the guy. He's perfectly content to be held like this and rests his chin on Kaneda's shoulder, sighing.]

... The person most important to her, huh.

Like you and Tetsuo-san.

[rassera]

[You know you've done something right when a dog rests its head on your shoulder. That hand that Koromaru playfully nipped at is going to rest along his back now, rubbing that white fur.]

...

[And it's hard to hide a smile at what Ken says next.]

Yeah. Like me and Tetsuo.

[Like Ken and his mother.]

[amadaman]

[Ken tears his gaze away from Maya to check on Kaneda, relaxing a little himself when he sees him smiling.]

She'll be okay now. [And with her okay, everyone else will be too.]
