you should smile, little thing
Characters: au kariya & open.
Setting: out & about. .. ngl he's probs lost.
Format: i action-spam, but feel free to reply in prose if that's more comfortable for you.
Summary: this is one upset little body horror.
Warnings: body.. horror via worm infestation?
[ waking up in a strange place when he'd just been with lancelot had been not only jarring, but extremely upsetting. he'd spent the first few minutes in a terrified haze, vainly searching the room for his servant. he can't sense him anymore, though the seal remains on the back of his right hand. so.. shouldn't that mean he's still here? he'd said he wouldn't leave kariya. he'd sworn it, that he'd be by his side as long as he could.
that had been before saber, though. before he realized he'd have to fight his king for the grail. that he'd have to choose between her and a little boy he barely knew. maybe.. maybe he'd made his decision.
there are letters, but kariya can't focus to read them right now. he's upset and frightened and he hurts. he always hurts these days. father says the pain is a good thing, that it means the crest worms are making him stronger, to take care of his family. kariya doesn't understand it, of course, but if it's what father says, then it must be the truth.
father isn't here. lancelot is gone, father is gone, and kariya is all alone in a strange place and he doesn't know what to do.
he has the presence of mind to fold up the letter, tucking it into a pocket. he slips out, then, little bare feet silent on the floor. he has no idea where he is, and there are rooms everywhere, and stairs, and-- he has no idea where he should go or where he should begin looking. surely, after all, this is a test. father likes testing him. so.. so he can't cry, because crying doesn't do any good. and anyway, it always makes father angry. instead, he takes a deep breath, picks a direction, and starts walking.
residents of the tower may later find a small, white-haired boy with an eyepatch and bare feet wandering the various halls and rooms. ]

[ he hurries to catch up, keeping close to the servant's side, comforted despite himself that he's there. certainly, technically archer should be an enemy, and he pokes at kariya and says his name weird, but he still seems nice enough. and he hasn't tried to really hurt kariya, yet, which is a huge plus in the boy's eyes. ]
.. Well, I'm glad if you didn't like Tohsaka-san that you found one you did like. [ he frowns faintly, brows drawing together. ] It always seems a little bit weird that Lancer is the Servant and I'm the Master. Not that I could do the stuff he does, but he was a hero, after all. And so were you. [ at the mention of the tower, though, he shakes his head. ] .. I was a little bit lost. I was looking for Lancer or Father.

It's thoughts like those that keep him amused as he leads the way.]
You will not find any of them here. [He lifts a hand in a pseudo-shrug.] They will be wasting away wherever you last left them.
