[ When Fuyu arrives, the first thing he does is drop his bag and head for the bed, where he lies face down on the mattress. He's obviously exhausted, because he doesn't usually do this. Sometimes you need to carry yourself with a distinct image, but fuck that. He's tired.
Hi, Aerith. At least his clothes aren't damaged this time. He got better at killing things in Nekyia without taking damage. ]
[ Oh, hey, he's improving! Aerith is proud (sort of). She looks up from where she's making her own bed just in time to watch as Fuyu collapses onto his own. ]
[ He turns his head on the bed to look over at Aerith. What the girl doing. He seems visibly relaxed while on the bed too, as opposed to his usually on-guard mode which is all the time, until this week hit. ]
If I kill more of those monsters, the faster the "cleanup" will be over with. However, not everyone is a combatant nor is willing to take them out every day.
[ He grumbles a little and sighs. ]
If the monsters are annihilated sooner, the faster we can be on track to leave this place.
[ He repeats after a small pause. Fuyu doesn't seem to care about the fact that it sounds like he's a sad excuse of a human being who fails to socialize, but there's a small realization in his eyes. ]
I don't do anything out of enjoyment anymore. The time for that... has passed.
[ It's really strange, seeing Fuyu so... willing to divulge anything about himself. This is an opportunity she needs to take, even if he hates her for it later—it isn't like he seems to like her at all anyway, so she's not losing much by taking this risk, she thinks. ]

Working hard in there?

Feeling alright?
no subject
[ He quietly sighs. ]
I want this situation to pass as quickly as possible, but it feels as if it won't make a difference.
no subject
[ She thinks that they all can really make a difference, but she isn't so sure he means all of this either. ]

It's not just the monsters either. We have commissions to finish and bonds to form too. Don't overwork yourself so much when it comes to the monsters.
no subject
[ He's fully self-aware. ]
Commissions are annoying, but it is what it is...
no subject
[ There has to be something out there for him... ]

[ Fun? He looks over at Aerith with a bit of a neutral expression. ]
Nothing is fun.

[ An important distinction, she thinks. ]

Why's that? Can't see yourself having fun anymore, or are you too busy back home?
[ With his research. ]
no subject
[ He struggles to put it into words, but at least he's trying. Fuyu seems willing to talk, but even with his guard down, it's rough. ]
... It was fun when my sister was around.
no subject
What was your sister like?

Natsu was a very cheerful and curious girl, though she started to get some bad habits rubbing off of Aki.
[ His expression almost looks sad when he talks about Natsu, but it turns into a frown real fast when Aki is mentioned. ]
no subject
[ Because that expression sure says a lot! ]
