[Nothing particularly remarkable about this common room today, just a girl seated on one of the couches, reading. "Sitting" is a loose term though, since she's actually upside-down, head against the floor and feet sticking up in the air. She bears some strong resemblance to a Riku, especially with those bright aqua eyes, but her hair and skin tone are very much that of a Namine. Oh, and the book she's so deeply involved in is on Music Theory, according to the upside-down cover.]

[asdfasd what is going on--]

...Austin?

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[JUST HUGS.]

I've missed you so much! And I've been so worried! Are you okay? How's the future? Is it bad? I hope it hasn't gotten worse since I left...

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

[Hugs back.]

Austin, I saw you just yesterday. What are you talking about?

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

...

[Pulls away, sadfacing so much.]

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

[Looks worried.]

...What? What's wrong?

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[Looks away, shaking his head.]

... Nothing, forget it.

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

Nuh-uh, Austin. What.

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[Lets out a quiet sigh.]

I've been gone for over a year.

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

...No way. I definitely saw you yesterday. There's no way you could have been gone so long!

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Maybe you were taken from a different time... or time passes way slower there.

[Shrugs a little, still looking down.]

I guess it's a good thing. You didn't have to miss me.

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

[Frowns.]

But... if you've been here so long...

[You must have missed everyone else. Hugs him again, for good measure :<]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[Hugs her back, just holding her close.]

Liana showed up a couple months ago, at least.

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

Well that's good, right? You weren't all alone. And you're definitely not now.

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's not too bad.

Except the twins are here too.

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

[Makes a annoyed face.]

Great. Do I need to beat them up for you, Austin?

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

No, the teenage version of my dad seems to think they're good kids. I don't want to get in trouble.

[Offers a smile.]

I could use a shield though.

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

[Smiles back.]

You got it.

[Then her hands go to her hips along with a determined look]

And if they get me with those water guns, I have an excuse to beat them up.

[...Tilts her head a little to read that upside-down cover. She's curious, what?]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Whoa, girl, don't get too excited there. They are just kids.

[Grins at the idea though.]

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. It's annoying for anyone else to get soaked like that. But it's not funny when it's you.

[Hmph.}

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[Just breathes a laugh at that and pulls her back into another hug.]

Man, did I ever miss you.

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

Well, it's only been a day for me, but it's good to see you too.

[Smiles, returning the hug.]

[sunrisingsong.livejournal.com]

[It's in fairly bold script, Shouldn't be too hard to decipher.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[Mutters--]

Lucky...

[-- against her shoulder as he rests his head against it.]
