but he's gotten used to dealing with this from kids, so ishi accepts the hug easily enough, giving him a little pat on the shoulder. hm. maybe this place is making him homesick?]
We can always go somewhere a little different, if that would help. I understand that familiar atmospheres in an unfamiliar place don't always ease one's mind.
[yeah he definitely is just assuming taka is really homesick or something.]

no subject
why is this place filled with weirdos ]
Huh? Yeah.
no subject
Then I hope you don't mind if I accompany you, for now.
[he glances at the nearby buildings, head slightly tilted.]
I've had relatively little time to investigate it myself.
no subject
except getting to know the other people in this game is kind of important. so. ]
There's not much to look at.
no subject
[grandpa is not fucking off, sorry, you've got company now.]
no subject
[ he just gestures as some of the buildings, as an invisible car zooms by. ]
It's like a city.
no subject
The cities I've been in were nothing like this. Is it similar to your home?
no subject
[ he glances at ishi. ]
...
no subject
[he says it with that same little smile as usual, though.]
no subject
You look pretty weird.
no subject
[he manifested like this, okay.]
no subject
[ he pauses
and then he's just suddenly hugging him. ]
no subject
[that was
entirely unexpected?
but he's gotten used to dealing with this from kids, so ishi accepts the hug easily enough, giving him a little pat on the shoulder. hm. maybe this place is making him homesick?]
no subject
but for now, for whatever reason, he seems to also accept this
very nice hug. ]
no subject
ishi lets this continue for another few moments before straightening, smiling down at him gently.]
There we are. Do you feel better?
no subject
[ he just felt like hugging ishi? and he still doesn't seem weirded out by it, but he's not entirely sure why he wanted to hug him. ]
no subject
[yeah he definitely is just assuming taka is really homesick or something.]
no subject
[ he can't explain what it is because he doesn't fucking know ]
Nothing.
no subject
[it doesn't sound like nothing, but he also knows interrogating someone his age on that Does Not Work, so.]
But if it's nothing, then surely we should find something else to occupy ourselves with.
no subject
[ because he's 15 ]
no subject
Nor have I. It's at least worth seeing, if nothing else.
[so he gestures for taka to come along, they're going to the bar and ishi is here to supervise.]
no subject
going to this fucking seedy ass bar together then after hugging ]
no subject
but ishi pauses after they walk in, taking a moment to look around the place.]
It's a bit... louder than I expected.
[it's the music, mostly. he proceeds inside, though, still taking the place in.]
no subject
this is not that loud in comparison. ]
You get used to it or you go deaf.
no subject
[because he's sure not going for the other option!
time to investigate the arcade games, because he also is not going directly for the bar. that can wait.]
no subject
... and he also seems a tiny bit more cheerful that it's the games they're headed to. just a bit. ]
You play?
