[A stray thought drifts out to wonder how easy it would be to change the locks to their shared home. Not that he actually would, but. He entertains the idea, a little bit.

Izumi comes a little more into his senses, at least, and decides he isn't afraid of any possible threat Leo could muster.]

Ha! That so? Do your worst, then. I can take you.

:o *rubs face all over new page*

[cochrhiben]

Wahaha! It's a challenge now!

Then I, stealing the role of Robin of Locksley, shall whisk you away into the forest right out from under everyone's noses!

[hinekure]

The forest? Ew. No way. It's dirty there. And there are bugs.
And no electricity. Or clean water. Or cell service.

Pick somewhere better.

[cochrhiben]

I don't think the one being kidnapped gets to have a say where they're taken to!

You don't think retreat somewhere in the woods would be cool? Where do you expect me to take you a hotel?

[hinekure]

Hmmm? Leo-kun's such a brute he'd knowingly take me somewhere I'd hate? Is that what I'm hearing?

Nature is nice to look at and fine in theory, but there are way too many annoying and troublesome things about it in reality, so...

A hotel is pretty ideal. At least make it a nice one.

[cochrhiben]

You are the bossiest kidnappee ever! And I haven't even kidnapped you yet!

But your strategy to annoy me into changing my plans won't work! Wahaha! I'm still going to run off with you and you'll have no idea where we're going!

[hinekure]

[Tch. Caught in the act.]

No, what makes you think I won't just ditch you the moment I see things going south?

[cochrhiben]

Because you loooove my company. <3

[hinekure]

Not enough to languish in the woods for however long.

I'm not gonna jump every time someone says jump, no matter how much I like them.

You think you're pained right now? Hearing this from you pisses me off more than you know.
It's not as if I did anything illegal, idiot!
If I did anything wrong, it was offering to help Tomoya-kun with his magic act.
This is where my kindness has gotten me!

Re: tfln 09/01; @heavyliesthecrown

[heavyliesthecrown]

Sena-senpai... what exactly has happened?
A magic trick?

Excuse me, but are you here in Japan right now?
If so, you ought to have come and found us.

[hinekure]

[That might've been a good idea, if not for the shame of crawling for help and the more egregious fact that he'd been trying to hide his presence entirely.]

Not anymore. It's all taken care of now, anyway.

I wasn't even there that long, so I really shouldn't have given him the time of day. I mean, I totally wouldn't have if I'd known how annoying it'd become.

[heavyliesthecrown]

So you wanted to spend your time with other juniors.
I see.

[hinekure]

Wait, are you seriously pouting about this?
I went through hell for you to whine that I didn't play with you?
Jealousy isn't a good look, Kasa-kun.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I am not pouting. [ He's pouting. ]
Do not accuse me of something so childish
I am not a baby who would cry simply because you and Leo-san are never around.
I'm just saying it would have been nice to have known you were here.

What exactly happened?

[hinekure]

You'll likely be one of the first to know the next time I'm back for work, so is it really such a big deal?
Just be a good boy and wait patiently until then.

Tomoya-kun practically begged me to watch him practice his magic show, so I was giving him critique.
Then when he moved onto the escape magic he messed up and lost the key.
And we ended up... handcuffed together.

It's a long story and I don't feel like explaining it all. What matters is it's over now.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I ought to be the first. I am in charge of our affairs.

It sounds as though you enjoyed helping someone out and had fun playing.

For someone whose entire job is managing others, how can you be so mind-numbingly bad at taking care of yourself?
It's good to work hard, but I keep telling you not to let it get this far! Or at least tell someone before it does!
It doesn't even have to be me. But you won't be of help to anyone once you're down for the count.

[Awful, awful producer. You're not supposed to make your idols worry about you.]

[producerpoints]

Well...

I'm telling you now, aren't I?

[ old habits die hard, senpai. she's just like this. ]

[hinekure]

[ssssiiiiigh.....]

Yeah, but ideally it would've been before you could barely stay upright?

Ugh. Alright, fine. Since you're telling me now, the least you could do is properly ask for help. Tell me what you need. Have you eaten anything? Can you? On a scale of Kuma-kun to Tenshouin how close are you to passing out?

Actually. Where even are you?

[producerpoints]

I'm sitting right now, if that makes you feel any better?

[ gurl he's asking about you, not him ]

I don't think I'm as exhausted as those guys, but... Well, see, I was trying out these new heels that I found with Arashi-chan the other day, but I think I hit my limit with this pair and now I can't walk without them killing me. But she'd already gone home, so...

[ y-yeah. ]

[hinekure]

Turn on your location.

[producerpoints]

[ GULP

okay, turning it on and sending him the location! true to her word, she is at the lobby, seated at one of the couches... ]

[hinekure]

[He doesn't bother replying, but the message gets marked as read, so it's reasonably safe to assume that Izumi's already on his way.

In ten minutes he's marched up to Anzu, a shadow towering over her with a dire expression to match — but within moments it mellows out to a more manageable frown as he shoves a small plastic bag at her, then takes a seat at her side.

Within the bag she'll find a handful of pills (vitamins, supplements, medicines), a bottle of tea and some fruit juice, a pack of energy gel — an assortment for varying degrees of fatigue since he didn't exactly know what condition she's in and hadn't asked, either — but possibly the most important things sit at the bottom of the bag: a pair of clean socks and new, comfortable sneakers in her size, as well as a few band-aids for any blisters she might've sustained.

Huh. It's almost like he's used to this.]

I know you've been running around all dressed up lately as a fully-fledged producer, but losing to a new pair of heels? Really?

[producerpoints]

[ oh god, a bad bitch incoming. it's always a little scary to see sena izumi walk up to her, because he usually has a complaint at the ready and she'll have to work double-time just to appease him and calm him down. judging from the supplies he brought with him though, she probably doesn't have anything to worry about--

until he opens his mouth to complain again. sigh. ]

I only broke them out today, I swear. I didn't think they'd bite into my feet this early in...

[ she sticks out her leg to show him one of the heels in questions. it looks ordinary enough, but looking closely izumi can notice how the tips are a little too tight for anzu's liking. ]
