[There is a rather annoyed (no, let's change that) a very pissed off harlequin showing on your devices City. The room ne's in has been trashed--books and papers are thrown everywhere, glass shattered on the floor, the drapery is shredded and most of the furniture is askew.

But don't think this is some accidental post. No, this is quite on purpose and it is not the usual, cheerful tones that come when ne speaks.]

Stealing away what does not belong to you only promises suffering. There are better and safer ways to make an enemy if that is what you wanted. Freeing a chained soul is not the best of ways.

[Hello, mommy. July is just sitting here not bothered by the chaos. He's just frozen. Sort of like a porcelain doll.

He's just waiting for now.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Good boy, because ne might not be paying too much attention right now.

Throwing the device against the far wall, does seem to help a little though and when ne turns to see him ne stops. It only takes nem a few steps to reach him. Ignoring all the debris underfoot, ne kneels down next to him then pulls him in for a hug.]

[through_glass]

[July seems to come to life then and leans into the embrace. He even goes so far as to hold onto her clothes in his own form of hugging back.]

[Obviously something is very wrong, but it's not right to pry.]

Miss Hatter, will you be all right?

[valentineluke]

[He's a long time resident of this world. Regularly visits the Hall. Claims to be keeping tabs on comings and goings, but it's become an excuse to spend time with liked acquaintances and his brother. Knows all too well that feeling.

No comment to post. Just a ping left behind indicating he saw and is available for whatever Hatter plans to do and or wants a shoulder to get emotional on.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne recognizes it even if no other would and it means more than any other could at tat moment.]

It is...good that they went home.

[Not that ne fully believes that.]

[Ne's calmed down a bit before ne replies back to Tohru. And picked nir device back up from where ne threw it. At least ne didn't blow it up?]

Will be? Yes. All things are eventually set right again.

[through_glass]

Good.

[He just repeats that word then...]

I am here.

[indecent_butterfly]

So you are.

[More than likely the castle would not still be standing if he weren't.

Ne leans back, letting nir fingers brush through his hair once more.]

Not all has been taken away.

[through_glass]

[He nods.

His mother is here. So he is fine.]

Eventually....

In the meantime, if you need anything, any help, I would be glad to offer. Even if it's just making a meal so you don't have to spend money on take out, but don't have to focus on things like that.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne shall stay as long as it's in nir power to do so and make sure that if anything does happen to change that, he'll be looked after.

Ne stands taking his hand as ne does.]

Let us go elsewhere for now. This will be cleaned later.

[Perhaps a story for now or the park. Something normal that will get nir mind of missing things.]

[indecent_butterfly]

That is very sweet of you. And...would be appreciated.

[through_glass]

[He stands up and nods. Elsewhere is good for him. They usually go places when this happens.]

[riceballfruit]

Then I will gladly take something over.

What do you prefer to eat?

[indecent_butterfly]

If it is a gift, anything will do. The thought is what matter most.

video;

[riceballfruit]

Oh! It's a gift! I just don't want to make anything you might dislike.

[She's unaware there are other people living with Hatter to take into consideration, but just in case, as it's polite to ask.] How many servings do you think you'll need?

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne's too distracted to find out if Alexiel and Kurai are still around or not. Or perhaps a bit afraid to find out.]

Four. And thank you.

[If the other two are gone as well, it can be lunch the next day.]

video;

[riceballfruit]

Four? [She looks a little startled for a moment. But, well, maybe Hatter just has a very healthy appetite!]

I will be sure to make plenty, then. I shouldn't be too long after 6. I hope that isn't too late.

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

Not at all. One usually has to remind the others to eat in any case.

video;

[riceballfruit]

Oh! [Others! That explains it.] I didn't know you had housemates.

I hope they didn't have plans or anything like that. I'll be sure to drop by not long after. And maybe throw in some dessert.

( She isn't in a talkative mood, but the words draw her out of her own depression. )

Hatter.

( Video )

[indecent_butterfly]

[Depression? No there should be nothing but pure rage at this. Ne finally had him returned (or close enough) after all these years and someone took him from nem again. Twice ne's proven useless at stopping those forces.]

Again it happens.

[subecho]

...they have taken the Cook from you?

[indecent_butterfly]

There were more but they have left.
