2nd Idea [Accidental Visual]

[notgivinguponyou]

[With everything settling back down again, it should be the best time to relax. But it apparently was the opposite for Tadashi, who could be seen pacing around his room at the commune. His tail flicked with every turn, and the expression on his face was more agitated and troubled than normal for those who had seen him before.

Another passing turn had him pausing, finally noticing the scroll was open. And for a moment he almost seemed to glare at it, his hardened expression persisting as he debated whether to simply roll it up.

But it only lasted a moment before his expression softened, and he managed a small, if somewhat weary smile.]

Anyone feel like grabbing a drink?

...Or taking a walk. Or...something.

[It just seemed like he could use the company.]

Comments

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah, if you're up for one. Just kinda need to...do something right now.

[scattered_rose]

[Oh brother does he get that.]

Well, I'm definitely good for one.

[notgivinguponyou]

Okay. Where do you wanna meet?

[scattered_rose]

Out in front of Town Hall good for you? I'm not too far from there.

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah, that sounds fine. I'll be there in a few minutes.

[scattered_rose]

Alright, see you there.

[True to his word it's not long before he gets there, idling his time waiting for Tadashi by trotting around in a circle. It looks aimless, but he's doing it in a way to keep in his same hoofprints.

...So, pretty aimless.]

[notgivinguponyou]

[As Tadashi comes upon the scene, he can't help but chuckle.] Didn't think I made you wait that long, but if you're busy now we can do this another time.

[scattered_rose]

[He stopped and looked over past himself to see Tadashi. Flicking out his wings, he used them to turn himself around, walking over to the other pony.]

Nah, I'm good. Call it warming myself up.

[Said with the lightest teasing smirk.]

[notgivinguponyou]

I see. [Right.] Anyplace in particular you feel like going?

[scattered_rose]

[He shook his head, still smiling.]

Hey, the walk was your idea. I'm alright with going around anywhere.

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah, but if I'm inviting you along, might as well not go anyplace you might hate. I don't really have a destination, to be honest. You mind just walking around? [...Town, not in circles.]

[scattered_rose]

[He nodded, falling in step alongside Tadashi as they started off.]

[notgivinguponyou]

So, how've you been? You do all right when all that stuff was happening?

[scattered_rose]

I stayed out of it, really. [He shrugged a bit.] I mean, the whole thing was interesting but...

It was a little busier than I usually like.

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[He stayed out of it too...if by that you mean he was helping ponies vacate the town and then getting floored by seeing his brother and robot creation from back home.]

Least you kept safe during all the fighting and stuff?

[scattered_rose]

That... [Telltale pause.] -I did not do.

I took him head on, I had to. 'Least I kept my magic. [Whatever magic he had, anyway.]

[notgivinguponyou]

[Yeah that's safe.]

Just as long as you didn't get hurt, I guess.

[Please tell him at least that much.]

[scattered_rose]

No, I was fine.

I fight monsters for a living, Tadashi. 'Course I'd be fine.

[notgivinguponyou]

Hey, you can be best at what you do, and there's still a chance of getting hurt. But yeah, that's good.

[scattered_rose]

You've got a point there. Nothing happened this time though, it was okay.

[notgivinguponyou]

[He nods.] Yeah...glad you made it through that all right.

[scattered_rose]

[He glanced at Tadashi a moment, then smiled.]

Thanks.

[notgivinguponyou]

[He smiles, but it's more a curious one. He's not really sure what the thanks was for. But he doesn't ask, and they just keep walking as the silence stretches on for a moment.]

[scattered_rose]

[For caring?

If Tadashi found the silence awkward, Daniel didn't do much about it. He seemed content to walk on, at least for a little while, without saying anything. Looked rather thoughtful, really.]

[notgivinguponyou]

[Tadashi was mostly fine with the silence as well, but he did notice that Daniel's expression.]

Something on your mind?
