[carpe] Closed to friends/family- It's that time again

[misborncat]

This time Asato was ready for it. The feelings of restlessness, of warmth, and of a desire to be around people was enough of a warning to send him out into the woods again. He was armed with his sword, blankets, a tent and enough supplies to last him a week just in case.

When he'd made camp, far away from everyone, it was already much too hot and he curled up on his blankets, shutting his eyes and curling up on himself.


It's spring and that means it's time for Asato and his heat. He'll be away from the Mansion for a little over a week and will not be friendly to strangers or people he doesn't totally trust.

Asato hunches up on himself a bit more, embarrassed and not liking how Neville looks so uncomfortable now.

"I'm okay out here. Thank you for being concerned."

"How long have you been without shelter, Asato?" Neville might be uncomfortable, but his concern for one of his best mates far outweighs that. "Can't we construct a shelter?"

"The weather is good," he says. "And I have a few blankets and supplies out here. It's alright. Thank you Neville."

Neville shifts back and forth between feet for a long, silent moment. "So you want me to just leave?" He sounds forlorn at the idea.

Asato's ears fold back and he shakes his head. "I don't," he admits. "I like not being alone, but ... I don't want you to be uncomfortable with me."

Neville frowns. "Let me worry about that, then. I'm never comfortable with things I don't completely understand," he admits, moving closer to Asato, but slowly as if to avoid frightening the Ribika. "Just as my potions' professor," he adds wryly.

Neville won't frighten Asato and he actually straightens up a bit to smile hesitantly at his friend.

"Thank you."

Neville gives him a slight smile in return. "We can discuss the weather?" he offers wryly.

Blink blink. Asato looks up at the sky. "It's a nice day?"

Neville chuckles. "Yes, it is nice. Because I am in good company," he adds with a smile.
