fourth breath ✧ action

[musubi]

[Isamu is out on his own again, this time wandering the open fields just north of town. It takes him a while, but he eventually finds a nice flat rock to sit on. He sets his notebook beside him, sits cross-legged with his hands on his knees, and closes his eyes.

After about a minute of this, he's already feeling ridiculous.]

Come on, spirit things...

[They apparently helped people with this sort of thing in the school, but he wasn't sitting through any classes he didn't have to. Besides, he'd mastered the Amala Network! What were a couple elemental spirits in comparison to that? Surely he had to have some sort of residual magic ability on him that would make them easier to attract.

If there was any chance he might be able to keep from being absolutely powerless here, he was going to go for it.]

Mm-hm. Sure you are.

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

You clearly think so, or you'd have no desire to speak to me 'later.'

[kickinabout.livejournal.com]

It's not important anymore.

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Oh? [...Damn. Now he's curious.]

[kickinabout.livejournal.com]

Mm-hm. Just forget it.

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Now you're just being a tease.

[kickinabout.livejournal.com]

You probably don't want to talk about it.

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What is this, reverse psychology? [He crossed his arms over his chest.] Why don't you just tell me and I'll decide?

[kickinabout.livejournal.com]

The last time I talked to you, you'd written something in the journal. Do you even remember it?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Oh, she was from that.] ...I remember a few things. Not everything.

I wasn't completely there, if that hadn't been obvious.

[kickinabout.livejournal.com]

No, it was. But sometimes you still say stuff you mean.

So it'd be a better idea to forget I said anything.

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure I meant it. [He knew he did, crazed or not. She gets a wry smile.]

Did I say something that bothered you?

[kickinabout.livejournal.com]

Depends. Do you still believe it?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[smirk] Believe what?
