[Closed] I live life in daydreams, avoiding what was real

Who: Satsuki Kiryuin and Luke Triton
When: Evening, April 16
Where: Genessia City
What: Satsuki, of course, figures out what exactly has been going on with Luke lately. She's probably noticed, too, that he's avoiding her at all potential costs.



Luke works most days in the tea shop alone. Blake does work with him as well, but he opens and closes the shop himself. It's a small business, and ensuring his puzzles are all ready and his tea is properly brewed is a point of pride for the young apprentice. They are all thing he can control--and that is how he likes it. So few things here are within his control: as such, the things that he can maintain control of are exceptionally important to him.

Walking home from work alone isn't unusual for him, either, though lately he's done so far more nervously than he has in the past. As such, Satsuki doesn't catch him completely off-guard.

Just mostly.

Satsuki Kiryuin has considered heading straight to the tea shop; but she decided it would be better to take the conversation she wanted to have outside of the workplace. Thanks to Koishi she was aware of Luke's general home pathing- And it looks like he's still doing these things by himself.

This is really starting to get ridiculous.

Normally she has no issue with the whole actions/consequences thing, but things are snowballing into a path that she disapproves of. And mostly disapproves of because it effects herself: She had agreed to work with him after all.

He may notice that parked at the corner is an unusual looking truck with a logo on the side that reads 'Holo-Window Service'. Well that's odd, isn't that a Nova City service? That's the only hint he gets.

Because the very moment he turns the corner on his street, standing right there is the Nova City Guardian, hands behind her back and adorn in a long winter coat over her uniform. "Triton. I need your signature to have these windows installed."


Hello.

"Good evening," she replies as her sights remain on the window for a moment. "Yes, I have noticed that you have placed a band-aid over the problem. You were likely unaware that a better solution is available to you. Regardless, I have brought it here for you."

She looks back to him, and notices the bandages. It's true that she isn't his mom, but she can't help but be annoyed, even if her expression doesn't shift to convey as such. "In short, the 'glass' is self-repairing. If it is all right with you I would like to exchange this service for a favor from you."

She does wonder who 'Miss 18' is. Well she can ask about that another time.

"Understandable; then continue your negotiations if you wish. And I suspected you would find such a device useful." it brings a bit of a smile to the Guardian's face, but it slips away as she snaps looks to the truck and raises a finger. Two worker droids immedietly step from it, carrying the equipment needed to install.

"As for 'what', I will let you know when I am of need of your talents. Just keep it in mind for now." That said, Satsuki reaches into her pocket to withdraw a surprisingly normal sheet of paper, with the company's logo at the top. "This contract simply states you have given this group permission to install the glass. Once that's done you will have to let them inside." Beat. "I would like to stand by until the work is complete; if that would not be any trouble."

"I would like that, thank you." Satsuki would have been disappointed if he hadn't offered. And so she follows along, and of course once she's inside she looks around at various things; notably looking for anything that might suggest struggles of any sort like anything knocked over or tilted off balance.

The fennec's excited behavior doesn't really bother her, so she simply walks along with the fox likely following while the droids get straight to work. (And there is no catch in said contract, thankfully.) "Green will be sufficient tonight." she replies as she helps herself to a seat. She delays the issue a bit as the last thing she needs is him spilling hot water everywhere. "Does this 'Eighteen' live in these apartements as well?"

Satsuki just observes; it is interesting that he's been doing relatively well on his own (though maybe with a bit of help from Koishi here and there). After everything is setup, the Guardian's stature appears to relax a bit, though she can't say she approves of animals running on the table.

Oh well; it isn't her place.

"I see." she murmurs. "Triton, after the housewarming party I was under the impression we were on the same page. But you continue to remain cautious, more than usual around me. I could let that slide if not for the fact you have grown increasingly distant."

Just. Bam. Right there.

"I need you to explain to me what is going on; and would prefer if you set your 'gentlemen rules' aside and not hold back."

Satsuki takes a sip from her cup, her gaze fixed upon Luke and of course noting his body language. She can't tell what's going through his mind, though, and it seems to be some sort of internal conflict he's having.

She sets the cup down as she replies, "Try to relax and take your time; I am looking for answers, not apologies, so that I do not make the same error twice. I can understand your goal." Her brows furrow in thought, "Have you come to the conlusion, then, that by not speaking with me you are staying out of trouble?"

Satsuki can put up with not being looked at- Of course she prefers to look people in the eye when speaking but she's making a considerable effort not to come off any more imposing than she already has. "So it is not just myself. Not a terrible strategy in general, as you know I tend to keep my relationships in as professional a manner as possible." she finally replies. "But I do not feel that is a good one for yourself. Of course, that is merely my opinion. All the same, you and I have shared similar experiences which are very new to me as well- to this day I am still uncertain how to deal with them though my manner of coping is of some help."

She sets her cup down upon the table.

"What you should remember is that you are just one person who is young and inexperienced; your talent for puzzle solving is still in an early stage, but is improving. It is all right that you do not know what to do in these situations nor is there any shame in asking for assistance when needed." ... "By the way, I have come to find that sometimes the simplest ideas can make for acceptable solution."

Patient silence. Once Luke lets it all out, the Guardian sets her cup on it's saucer, then takes a moment to think on it.

Poor Luke. He's quite an eye opener on the difference between how he was raised and herself- Though perhaps she had known that all along and just never followed up on it. There was no particular reaction from seeing the bandaging, though it's quite easy to tell it was either done by himself, or hadn't been changed in a while.

"You have potential- While your talents may appear to be of little use to you, I see worth in both your gifts as well as your efforts. Your tea shop is a wonderful idea, but I assure you that is not your final stage." she replies. "Yes, sad things have happened. But you are letting it get in the way of your growth and blur your vision. Sometimes we need to put sad things aside so the sadness does not tear us apart."

A brief pause. "It appears you need some assistance understanding your limits. Before I go on about if I should disappear; I would like you to clarify on your injury: Who, where, when, and why."

"How? Well there is no one easy way, and it differs from person to person." Satsuki answers anyway. "As for your situation; the person you speak of is not someone whom should be absolved of their actions so lightly, accident or no. Your sense of empathy is commendable, but you also have a responsibility to let a figure of authority know of these things. As far as you know that accident could have happened to a second person. And then a third. And if they also keep quiet? You must consider these sorts of scenarios."

She shakes her head. "Thankfully no such thing has happened and you appear to have learned from your experience- and gained quite a bit of valuable information at that. But most importantly you are safe, and I am.. Pleased about that. It is most unfortnate you have had to experience such a difficult trial."

"It appears your body is not in need of just physical healing, but mental as well. Have you ever tried meditation, Triton? Perhaps that would aid in clearing your mind."
weavemyownfate: (over shoulder)

It's true

[personal profile] weavemyownfate 2015-05-27 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Satsuki looks taken aback by Luke's request, but she ends up replying with a straight forward "Very well."

"And while I accept your apology, I think that I should apologize as well; you and I... I was very different at your age. I had treated you as I would have myself, without taking into account that our circumstances differ greatly. To get to the point, I believe it would be beneficial to meet with me at least once a week." beat, "And I am not so certain that meditation is beyond your natural capabilities. A clear mind, in theory, should increase efficiency in puzzle solving for example. Regardless I would like you to try since it is something I can actually teach you. If it does not work out then so be it."

"So did the doctors fail to show you how to perform proper bandaging?"

[personal profile] weavemyownfate 2015-05-27 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Understandable. And it can be difficult." she concedes, "Then there is no better time than the present to show you a trick that should help. Get your bandages from the cabinet."

She saw. Of course she saw. And she would take the opportunity to follow him so she can keep talking.

As for meeting. "Then it is decided. Now, you asked what would happen should I disappear. I have planned ahead on that matter- Actually it should also cover if I should reappear with a loss of my current memories." Satsuki reaches into her coat, then removes a chip from it. "This is a log with almost all of the information I have gathered since arriving here. I made a vow to see that everyone is returned home. If, for whatever reason, I lose my way then I will need you to know what to do with this."

It's ok! Rping with you is worth the wait. :D

"At the moment? Nothing. I still need to update a couple weeks worth of information. However I can tell you the coordinates where I keep it: 7-7-10-13-10*."

As she says this, she gestures for Luke to remove his shirt. "I want you to do as I do." From there on she would removes a bit of ribbon for herself, then gives a demonstration how to place on the bandaging using her own arm- She expects him to be copying her at the same time.

"Otherwise I will not instruct you until I feel you are ready. Ideally you should match the description I have made of you in my recordings- I estimate it will take seven months or so."

Satsuki is sure to move slowly; her threshold for pain is probably higher than his own, so she would likely stop at any point where he appears too uncomfortable. She also isn't expecting it to be perfect on the first try, so there is no comment from her on that part. "That is decent for a first try. You will get it in time."

Ah so he has still been going to judo practice; the results are more visible than she managed so that's encouraging. "While that is a reasonable guess, it is not exactly correct. There are traits that can used for identification, such as voice. But also some predictions of your growth." Aka what she expects of him, but she won't be mentioning that.

"So as you can see, I have anticipated such a scenario happening. I'm afraid it does not answer your question otherwise but the way I see it separation is inevitable. Particularly when we discover a way home. So for me, I feel the best solution is to move forward."

"That is a good question." Maybe Luke expected a frown from Satsuki for being questioned, but what he gets is a quirk of her lips that could quite possibly relay a form of amusement. So very close. "But there is no need to worry. In the event that I predict wrong, then I will ask another favor of you. I will not know the conditions of that favor, however. I think for now it is more important that you remember the numbers I have given you."

Well that's just mysterious, isn't it?

There is still one more thing that she wants to mention to him, but she'll wait to see if he has anything else he wants to get off his chest first.

Miss Kiryuin?

"Yes?"

Oh. Well.. Here goes nothing.

"You possess an intense desire to give something of value and I want to provide guidance so that your drive continues. I try to encourage anyone who displays that kind of motivation because if everyone were as motivated as you are, I believe we will grow closer to discovering a way home."

Though anyone who sees her as a Goddess is acceptable as well. She's still working on that. "You are correct in that you do not provide as Jakuzure, Gamagoori or Komeiji do but nor do they excel in what you have to offer; your skill in tea making is unmatched in comparison. Those are the short and long term exchanges."

"Obviously I would like you to get yourself into less trouble, but I trust you will continue to improve yourself."
weavemyownfate: (shokku)

Aww Luke.

Satsuki doesn't have the slightest problem with waiting in silence, particularly since it gives her a moment to sip her tea. Still, she is a bit curious what he'll say next. When he comes close she reaches for her kerchief, as she had forgotten that she had lent it already. When she does remember-

Oh dear god.

The moment she's embraced, Satsuki visably tenses, though not-so-visably feels sick to her stomach. Somehow it's even worse than when Koishi does it. It's complicted. Still, she continues to keep the cup to her lips and before she knows it he's back to his seat. Eventually the young lady sets the glass down. It's a surprising coincidence that the robots finish installing the window as well, and are already marching to the doors.

"I am glad I could help. It seems now would be a good time for me to take my leave." she stands up. "Thank you for the tea, Luke, it is as fine as always. The 'glass' is made of hard-light so it is safe for your fox to step on. Do not forget to press the button on the side and it will fix itself."
