[Day: Monday, March 10. Time: 10:15 PM.] [Weather: Well, in Aomori, it's still cold. But pretty clear. Some clouds, but they're that pretty kind you get when it's cold.] [Kyon's had a long day at work, doing various marketing tasks and meetings, and then the appropriate entertainments. Now, he's back home! What will he do, I wonder?] [Mini start!] (Did he tell anybody they're stupid?) (I don't know. Is that an appropriate entertainment? =P) (I find it entertaining!) * Kyon sits in the chair in his room at home. The house is quiet; his room is a pretty spacious Japanese style bedroom, with a couple old ukiyo-e prints on the walls, a bunch of bookshelfs, a cat perch, desk, etc. He holds his cell phone in one hand, looking at it with his head cocked. Then he flips it open and hits a few buttons, and it starts dialing. * Katie picks up after about four rings. "" she asks on the other end. She doesn't sound overly thrilled. * Kyon smirks, and presses himself back in the chair. "" * Katie blinks. "Kyon?" She sits up on the couch. "" * Kyon looks down at the desk a bit, and pauses for a few seconds before responding, "" * Katie sighs and flops back. "" * Kyon shrugs quickly. "" He rolls his eyes. "" * Katie chuckles. * Katie mmms. "" * Kyon rolls his shoulders, and presses his feet against the desk. "" * Katie winces. She starts toying with the phone cord, then stops. "" * Kyon nods quickly, and doesn't say anything, waiting for her to continue. * Katie is silent for a bit longer, trying to gether her thoughts. She takes a shaky breath. "" * Kyon narrows his eyes. "" * Katie shrugs. "<*My* first question is why is he still alive.>" She falls silent again, and then continues in that more serious tone. "" * Kyon shakes his head, a somewhat bemused look on his face. "" He cocks his head. "" * Kyon shakes his head quickly. "" * Katie takes a deep, shaky breath, then lets it out. "" * Kyon nods quickly. "" * Katie shakes her head. "" * Kyon blinks hard, and shakes his head half-bemusedly. "" * Katie snorts. "" * Kyon lowers his tone a bit. "" He smirks. "" * Katie shakes her head. She's on her feet and pacing. "" She lets out a sigh. * Katie stops. "" * Kyon shakes his head. "" * Kyon shrugs tersely, pushing himself up in the chair. "" * Kyon blows out a breath. "" * Katie sits heavily on the couch. She's crying now. "" * Kyon listens quietly for a few seconds before saying, "" * Katie manages a laugh between sobs. "" * Kyon blows out a breath. " * Katie wipes tears from her eyes. "" * Kyon nods quickly. "" * Katie goes silent for a moment. "" There isn't much force behind her words. * Kyon presses his free hand to the desk, and stretches it. " * Kyon cocks his head, starts to say something, then stops for a second, before saying somewhat awkwardly, "" * Kyon sits up a bit more. "" He smirks. "" * Katie grumbles, "" And then she shrugs, not that Kyon can see it. "" * Kyon shakes his head bemusedly. "" * Katie pokes at the cord. "" she comments, but it completely lacks the teasing tone. "" * Katie laughs suddenly. "" * Kyon spins the chair to look at one of the pictures on the wall. "" * Kyon shakes his head irritatedly. "" * Kyon rolls his eyes. "" * Kyon nods quickly. "" He smirks. "" * Kyon rolls his eyes. "" * Katie lets out a sigh. "" * Katie giggles a little. "" She abruptly stops. "" * Kyon nods quickly, and smirks. "" * Kyon cocks his head, and switches to looking at a different picture. "" * Katie nods, and says quietly, "" * Kyon nods quickly, and says back in a rough tone, "" * Kyon smirks. "" * Katie toys with the telephone cord. "" * Kyon smirks a bit harder. "" He nods quickly. "" * Katie lets out a sigh. "" * Kyon barks out a laugh. "" * Katie winces. "" * Kyon shakes his head irritatedly. "" " * Katie rubs at her forehead. "" * Kyon smirks. "" * Katie snaps her fingers. "" * Kyon nods tersely. "" * Kyon shakes his head bemusedly. "" * Kyon shrugs disinterestedly. "" * Katie squeezes the phone cord in her hand. "" " * Katie doesn't sound particularly enthused. "" * Kyon pauses, and switches his tone. He tries to sound more gentle, but there's more than a little awkwardness to it. "" * Katie blinks, then smiles a little. "" * Kyon rolls his eyes. "" * Kyon nods quickly. "" * Katie sighs. "" * Kyon cocks his head, and yawns silently. "" * Katie tilts her head. "" * Kyon nods tersely. "" * Kyon shrugs, and smirks. "" * Kyon shakes his head bemusedly.
