Forty Sixth Star

...Riou, damnit...

Sorry to my fellow officers, but Officer Riou is going to be out of commission for awhile. He got busted up something awful by a malice monster. Had he his chip out... No, no use in thinking like that.

The stress just keeps building up. Every time I get a bit of relief, something happens to make it all seem worse again. I'm getting a little sick of the back and fourth. Mentally, emotionally, physically... I'm getting to my breaking point here. After this is all over, I'm just going to fish for a few days. I don't care if I won't catch anything. I need some zen in my life.

Until then, I guess it's back on another patrol. Let's try to have it be one where I don't have to go rescue someone or run into a pack of hungry monsters, eh? Not that I mind these things normally, it's just... too much of anything will kill you.

[Private to Cecil]

We need to talk.

A friend?

Officer Riou was attacked!? Ah, yes...he did mention such...

Tir, perhaps you should take some time off this case. You cannot allow your health to dwindle during such a time!

You must rest. Allow the others to take care of this.

Fishing? I wouldn't have imagined your hobby to be that. I never found any pleasure in fishing. Hunting, yes. Fishing, no.

Friend, brother-in-arms, would-be sibling...

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Heh, as much as I'd like that, I know I've got to push to the end. We're in the last stretch, after all.

[emit.livejournal.com]

I know that relationship too well.

I'm sorry. Will he be alright?

(Voice)

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

It's a very zen hobby.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

So long as he rests, yeah... he's taken pretty bad beatings before in the war, so he should be fine.

icon just for you

[emit.livejournal.com]

He must be a tough fighter to take multiple beatings.

busty redheads will be the death of him

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...There are many times I wish he didn't have to be.

beware of a tag team

[emit.livejournal.com]

A lot of us wish that about many people we care for.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Fishing... is your zen?

oh dear

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Yeah... he and his sister deserve better than all of this conflict.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Is that really so weird?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

To that extreme.

...But then I always thought that fishing was a hobby for tired old men who had nothing better to do.

oh god the parallels of that statement

[emit.livejournal.com]

I'm able to echo that exactly.

holy crap, you're right, ha ha

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Heh... it seems every time we talk we find something else in common.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Guilty as charged.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

Could I go with you?

Poor canonmates

[emit.livejournal.com]

Let's hope it stops soon, or at least switches areas. So far it's been pretty negative.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Does misery not love company?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Of course. No fun fishing alone.

[emit.livejournal.com]

It just wants to make itself feel better.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I think I can be satisfied with that.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

[Sigh] ...You're not that old, Tir.
