Has any person seen Edward? -=have a worried, half naked man in your faces, people.=-

I have been searching for him, but I cannot find him.

-=Did Saul get to him? No, he would have known that. Saul doesn't know him right now.=-

I....I cannot feel his blood.

Perhaps it's the event - wait just moment, I can locate him...

[He taps away at the PCD - and taps - and taps - ]

No, this can't...

[golden_hawke]

Khii? -=there is tension in his voice.=-

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

Wait.

[His voice is equally tense, and he fumbles with the suddenly irritating long hair of his female form, still tapping away - his movements betray what he doesn't want to say.]

I'm not done.

[golden_hawke]

... Gen.

-=his tone says it all. He knows. Gen's just hiding what is Truth.=-

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

[He knows. It's obvious. But Ryuubi says nothing. He will not say it, he simply keeps tapping for another painfully long minute.

Then, slowly, his head drops on his chest.]

I'm sorry, Hawke, I'm so sorry...

[golden_hawke]

There is nothing you can do about it.

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

No - there never is.

But...

Don't be alone, Hawke. My house is too large and too empty. We have to stick to what we have, while we have it.

[golden_hawke]

-=That gets Hawke's attention. An invitation to a house? The last time that happened was when Rosalie-- =-

You wish me to stay with you?

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

If you're willing. I don't think either of us is built to live on his own.

[And he very obviously means it. It's not pity speaking, but need, and maybe even hope.]

[golden_hawke]

-=he doesn't feel at home with Unohana, even though she has been so kind to him. And anywhere else has been... not home. He nodded, offering a small smile.=-

I would like that. And alone is lonely.

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

[His answering smile is faint as well, but there's also relief in it, a promise of hope for greater happiness.]

I'm glad. I'm very, very glad.

Come as soon as you wish. If you have anything that needs moving, I can help.

[golden_hawke]

I have myself and only small things.

-=Hawke had always been in the habit of travelling light. At most, he has two cloths, a spear, his knife, a small bag of crystals and a dream catcher.=-

[fightingvirtue.livejournal.com]

Ah - yes, that sounds like you.

I'll be sure to have the room ready, then.

[golden_hawke]

-=A bright smile.=-

I will be there soon.

[al_truism]

Edwa-

[PANIC.]

-=straightens=-

Not your brother, Alphonse. The other Edward.

[video]

[al_truism]

... [Breeeeathes out.]

[video]

[golden_hawke]

I did not mean to worry you.

[video]

[kill-joo-ded.livejournal.com]

[A look down at his hand, then back to the PCD.]

Nope. Haven't seen him.

[video]

[golden_hawke]

I thank you for your reply.

[video]

[kill-joo-ded.livejournal.com]

...What d'you mean you can't feel his blood?

[video]

[golden_hawke]

I can sense blood. It is as...how people see things, or smell them, or hear them.

[video]

[kill-joo-ded.livejournal.com]

Then he's probably gone.

[video]

[golden_hawke]

That is what I have come to believe.

[video]

[kill-joo-ded.livejournal.com]

[A pause. Then a shrug.]

Sucks.

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

I can't sense him, though he's never had a strong sense... I'm sorry, Hawke...

[golden_hawke]

...

I have heard many people say that it is best that people return home. But he has no family home. -=his voice is low and strained.=-

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

There's... a lot of people with no family to go back to.

[golden_hawke]

It is my hope that he is well. -=And he wouldn't want his friend to forget him, but he knows that with this place, it's as if nothing ever happened, here.=-

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

Mine too. And hope is a good thing to have.

[golden_hawke]

It is all one has, at times.

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

I think my Sensei would say something about optimism and hope being all people need. I think it helps.

[golden_hawke]

It does help. -=a little=-

[heavenlykunai.livejournal.com]

Good.
