Date: 8/26/23 01:15 (UTC)Tomorrow.
[ She reaches him soon after and he looks to Touya, nodding at him once before heading out. ]
Don't be late.
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 01:26 (UTC)touya merely watches his younger brother as he confirms and turns away from him.]
Tomorrow then.
[he's definitely going to be early or late. not on time.]

Date: 8/26/23 02:08 (UTC)he takes the card and eyes it before giving shouto a slight look. really... but pockets it afterwards without saying anything about it.]
Didja eat already?
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 02:31 (UTC)I had breakfast.
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 03:00 (UTC)Good.
[with that, he heads off down the boardwalk to the black sand beach.]
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 03:05 (UTC)What are we searching for?
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 03:17 (UTC)Anythin of interest. Sometimes items from other worlds wash up on shore. Sometimes copies of things already here, or modern merchandise.
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 03:23 (UTC)[ Kizu's matured in the last year and doesn't try to play with him outright, preferring to swish her tail in the water to pester him with water here and there. ]
How often do you come here?
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 03:26 (UTC)Almost every day.
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 03:54 (UTC)That answer has the youngest Todoroki breaking character and looking up surprised, as much as he can look. ]
You come here everyday?
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 04:01 (UTC)touya doesn't seem surprised at the question.]
Not every day. But most days. [he points up in the distance, indicating the softly-glowing sapling high up on the cliffside, breaking the drab monotony of the stony, dark beaches.] There's another reason I come here. Beats goin to the damn Sanctuary.
[it's what's helped keep his corruption in check all the time he's been here in trench. without having to deal with other people for the most part.]
I also train out here.
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 04:20 (UTC)Shouto doesn't pay much attention to her antics, his attention on Touya as he explains his routine. Shouto follows his finger up to the sapling standing against the elements. ]
I remember that one.
He's also attached to it, more than any other in Trench. It's the one that kept him from turning into a beast after Allen's death. Did it keep Touya from beasthood too?
Do you...
[ He starts, looking at him from the corner of his eye. ]
... use it when you change your bandages?
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 04:35 (UTC)the sapling is a stark contrast to everything around it. a glow of light in the darker skies, a patch of sakura pink against the moody backdrop, stretches of green grass and calm breeze on the wind-blown rocks. its withstood a lot and gotten stronger for it, now seeming to not care about the realm around it and stabilized itself into a beacon source of rest way out here.
touya's only come to beasthood twice, once when the butterflies skipped all charging and went straight to monster, and once more when... squid things happened. he has recollections of the butterfly one, turning into that monstrous version of their father. but the latter he has zero memory of and for all he knows, it never happened. 2B knows, however; she killed him.
but that's why touya keeps vigil on the sapling out here and protects it if need be. he wants the purification aspect and calm and he'll fight to keep it, all to avoid ever turning back into that wretched image of endeavor.]
Nah. I still use the tub in that house you first brought me to.
[the one where he let shouto change his staples and bandages. it's actually become a base for him when working on crafting bloodstones. the times he doesn't work on such with shouto. there have been a few... disappearances around it.]
no subject
Date: 8/26/23 15:16 (UTC)Shouto doesn't know why she doesn't eat, but he's never questioned it. He's never questioned why she goes invisible around everyone but Touya and Allen. Or, why Touya isn't close to Wolf like most Sleepers are with their omens? There are things he accepts without question, but there are others he won't let go no matter how hard someone tries to redirect him. The sapling, rising from the dark like a flower in bloom, is one of them.
He slept among its branches for a week, face buried in Kizu's neck when she was larger than he is now, staining her white coat with tears. Death isn't something Shouto knew before Trench. He knew his brother died, but he was so young, kept from his side for so long, to really register the true impact of it.
That's why he's here. To know him. Not as he was, Shouto never knew him back then, but as he is, and like Kizu, it's not the destination that matters to him. ]
Oh. [ He's a little surprised by that statement, enough to tug his focus from the sapling Touya pointed out, and look over at him. ] How often do you change them?
no subject
Date: 8/27/23 02:22 (UTC)touya's lack of closeness with wolf should be easy to know, but given shouto's blase acceptance of things without question, likely he won't be made privy to the reason. it's a simple reason, just not a pleasant one. at least touya's come to find the omen useful and doesn't mind him being out and around while they're at home. or when he's around his brother.
death has been a part of touya's life for years. it no longer phases him. he already died. no one cared. why should he give a shit if someone else ends up dead? their lives passing by him are little more than flames licking up the kindling and turning it to ash. sure, the very first time had been traumatic, but eventually even that burned away to callousness.
the question earns a small shrug and touya uses the toe of his boot to dig into the sand, nudging up a metal disk. looks kind of like a hubcap. but it's broken in half and the design isn't anything unique. not worthwhile to someone here in trench, so he lets it flop back into the sand to be consumed.]
Whenever I need to. Ain't got a set schedule.
no subject
Date: 8/27/23 19:02 (UTC)Touya's relationship with Wolf goes completely over Shouto's head. He's more concerned with his brother than his omen, and it's the same with Kizu with Wolf. Her curiosity toward the omen is easy to see in the way she watches him. Shouto is the same way towards Touya. Like omen, like Sleeper. The two are utterly blind, yet manage to see past the surface.
While Kizu occupies herself with Wolf, Shouto keeps his eyes on his brother, patiently waiting for a response. ]
Do you change them all at once?
[ He asks when she spots a small glass bottle buried in the sand with a cork, keeping a beige liquid sealed from the water. Without a word, he veers to the right to tug it free from its sandy enclosure, bending in front of the incoming surf to wash off the sand. Holding the glass vial delicately in his hands, fingers spread, Shouto cleans off the bottle before handing it to Touya for inspection. ]
Is this what you're looking for?
