Twenty-Second Flame-[Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

[Even though he didn't really want to leave the house, Taichi knew he had to go find Yamato so after an entire morning and afternoon racing around the village looking for his best friend, Taichi ended up back at Chosen house. Disappointed in himself and fairly distraught that they really did take Yamato, Taichi doesn't even bother going inside and he just flops down into his hammock, curling up in it and half-closing his eyes just in case Yamato comes back. Anybody doing patrols or checking on the kids is free to find him still in that position even after several hours]

[Oh there you are kid, finally. :| After going back to help out with the efforts for a bit and getting some things done, Raine makes her way back to the Chosen child house fairly easily, given it's position in town.]

[He acknowledges that Raine's coming closer but he doesn't do anything about it yet.]

[She keeps approaching until she's at his side] ... Taichi.

They took Yamato.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... I know. I came by as soon as I heard, but Hikari said that you had run out.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

They really took him. I couldn't find him anywhere. I looked. [brb irrationally freaking out]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... You didn't go outside the village, did you?

...[kind of just avoids looking at her]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Oh Taichi.

I suppose I can't fault you for doing that. But it's ... I need you stay where it's safe.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What about Yamato? What if he's not somewhere where it's safe?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... The Malnosso have him. We can't get to him from here. Running around looking for him isn't going to bring him to safety sooner.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Why would they take him?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

... I don't know. But we have to be here for him when he gets back.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I want him back now.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I know. But that isn't an option.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What am I supposed to do?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

You have to be here for Hikari, and Takeru, don't you?

[Hey, it's one of her bffs! And she can practically smell that worry and distress coming off of him, so Ammy slowly makes her way to him.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Since his eyes are still open enough to see things in case Yamato comes walking up, he sees Ammy approaching. Hey, we haven't seen you in a while four-legged bff. Opens his eyes more and holds his hand out to pet her whenever she gets there] Hey Ammy.

[Action]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[Once Ammy gets there, she bypasses the hand and goes for the cheek, giving it a lick. Hey there, little buddy, what's wrong?]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Gives her a half-grin] Thanks. [just rests his hand on her head and then BIIIG sigh from little body] They took Yamato this time.

[Action]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[Yamato, Yamato... Oh yeah, he's that guy who thinks Garurarumonno or whatever is better, isn't he? ...Wait he's your bff. Aaah, right. Ammy gives a long sigh of her own and gives his cheek a nuzzle. It's okay for you to feel like this, man.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Pets, if anything just for lack of anything else] They brought me back and they took him instead. How the hell is that fair?

[Action]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[Life ain't fair, kid, especially when it comes to those Malnosso. She lets out a whine, then leans her head back to look back at the house. He'll be back. Then you can continue your shenanigans.

...Of course, it's hard to communicate all of that through action alone, so Ammy just leans back in. Maybe it'd be better if he talked it out.]

[Hang on Ammy, rolling out of the hammock to sit on the ground next to her] I looked everywhere for him today. They really took him. What if something really bad happens? That one guy just died. They can do anything to him.
