[ taka bumps into yu in the courtyard.
normally, if something like this happens, he'd be a lot more rude. he'd probably say some sort of insult, or demand for yu to watch where he's going, or something along those lines
instead, he just takes a step back. ]
Oh.

Oh.
Ah--
[ Yu will blink once or twice, caught off-guard. He's seen this boy around -- thinks maybe he's heard him, too -- but hasn't actually spoken to him before. And that reaction... ]
Sorry, I should have been watching where I was going. Are you alright?

[ Yu can't quite help the way his gaze slides to the coffin before he looks back at the other boy. ]
Understandably so, I think.
Understandably so, I think.
[ Yu will sigh out, his expression shifting into something regretful as he looks up at the coffin. ]
No. She threw a petticoat at my head, [ he'll offer, without commentary, ] but we didn't get much chance to talk. [ Looks at Takaomi, eyes searching his face. ] ... how about you?

[ .... ah.
Ah, no. ]
Argued, huh? Yeah, she seemed pretty spirited. Did she manage to convince you?

[ A soft laugh. ] Tolerating everyone else, or each other?
Sounds like you two got along well. [ gently. ] She liked to sew, didn't she?
Shishimaru-san?
[ Yu finds himself tugged from his thoughts when he spots that distinctive green hair out of the corner of his eye. Here in the East Wing, he has no intent other than to just head back to the hostel and ... figure out what to do, from there. But that plan (as much as it can even be called a plan) is derailed entirely when he realizes he's run into Taka.
... his heart clenches, just a little, but it doesn't show on his face. Instead he'll raise a hand. ]
Did I catch you on your way back?

[ A head tilt.
It's a genuine question when he says: ]
Mind if I join you, then?

[ With a slight nod, Yu will join him.
He'll remain quiet for a while, not immediately speaking up. It's not even that he's holding back; he's just naturally quiet.
But he will eventually glance over at the other boy. ]
What did you think of the trial?

[ Yu will nod again, sighing as he looks down at the ground while they walk. ]
It was more disorganized than I expected. Not that I blame anyone for that... I don't think anyone here is a seasoned lawyer.
[ somewhat dry. ]
Throwing a bunch of people together like that, to figure out such an emotional crime...
[ He doesn't finish the thought, but the sentiment is clear. It could have been a lot worse. ]

I'd like to think that now that we more or less know the format that we're working with, if we have to do that again it'll go much more smoothly...
[ he says if, in the off chance no one decides to resort to murder, but considering it happened the very first week who fucking knows. ]
But it's hard to say since we have so many very different personalities.

I hope you're right, [ Yu will murmur, without real color. He isn't so sure, but feels worse for lacking that faith.
A slight nod. ]
This is a really diverse group of people. In different circumstances, spending time with everyone... it would have been fun. [ wistfully. ]

[ That actually manages to catch Yu by surprise, and he glances at Taka. ]
That type?
