[Hiyori casts a glance deeper into the apartment, where maybe Estelle can't see, at the indelible glitter.

Then back. You know what. Estelle is being nice. She doesn't need to know.]

I mean, you didn't even know who I was. It's not like it doesn't make sense.

[Hiyori takes the photograph delicately between his fingertips, squints at the little faces, and cracks a laugh.]

...ah, yeah, Ikuya wasn't even in this one. But I guess it still technically marks my achievement... Thanks very much.

[carryabigstick]

Yeah well... that wasn't exactly my most shining moment.

[At least she knows well enough that she should have kept her cool and tried to work out the situation without. You know. Violence.

Well at least he reacted well.]

That's right. So be careful and make sure you don't lose it again, 'kay?

[mermaidkin]

...do you still think it's that simple?

[He holds the photo to his chest, cleanly but not warmly, and looks up into the corner.]

I didn't mean to lose it or any of the other things when I first got kidnapped, you know...?
