Floor Four

[After the broadcast, Shou was heading back upstairs to check on the others when he got rather caught up in watching the storm outside. After all, watching the rain is a hardboiled thing to do, right?]

Dorms

[Shou's going from room to room, checking on others there, using the DenDen Sensor to navigate the dark hallways. Bless Philip for putting this thing together, even it seemed silly at the time.]

I'm so sorry this took that long

[she sits up and looks over at him, the blanket draped over her head like a protective helmet]

Is there a storm? Is that why?

No worries <3

[thisclinchesit]

[Shoutarou steps in, heading over to sit on her bed.] Yeah, big thunderstorm. Hopefully it'll pass soon.

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

Then the lights will come back and we can do something fun?

[thisclinchesit]

[There's a sharp nod and a bit of a smile, though inwardly, he is quite unsure.] Yeah. Maybe they'll have some new places to explore.

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

Can we explore home instead?

1/3

[thisclinchesit]

...

2/3

[thisclinchesit]

[A sigh.]

3/3

[thisclinchesit]

... [Seriousface.] I don't know how long it'll take, but yes. We'll get to explore home again.

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

Good. I wanna explore the whoooooole world.

[thisclinchesit]

[There's a grin on the detective's face at that.] Quite an admirable goal, that.

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

You think I can do it?

[thisclinchesit]

[He nods, reaching over to pat her on the shoulder.] Long as you apply yourself - big dreams take some hard work.

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

I know I can do it.

[thisclinchesit]

[It might be hard to see, but there's a serious look on his face, with just a twinge of a smile.] Good.

[Outside, there's a louder crack of thunder than what's been usually going on, even startling Shou enough to look up at the ceiling.]

[Molly flinches and lets out a barely visible whimper] I'm not afraid of storms at home, I dunno why I don't like this one.

[thisclinchesit]

[Shoutarou reaches over, patting Molly's shoulder lightly.] It might be due to not being at home...

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

Are storms worse here?

[thisclinchesit]

I don't really know - I've not experienced the storms where you come from to compare to these. I meant more that this a place you're not used to.
