[It would be unfair to say this is the most worried Takame has made Rose. He’s worried her plenty before, and he’ll worry her more again. It’s not even fair to say that this time is different, it’s because of Rose. There are plenty of other times it’s been ‘because of Rose.’]
[The key difference now is that Rose has become better friends with Takame. She’s learned his tells, and his habits. She’s learned that when something is bothering him, or he’s feeling afraid, he’ll run away, and spends time in private. It would be easy to say that it’s because he’s cooking down, but the more likely explanation is that he’s trying to avoid the people he cares about.]
[And she’s not letting him get away with it this time. Not only is he hurt, he’s an idiot, and if he runs off he’s likely to get himself killed.]
[When Takame wakes up, he’ll find Rose sitting in a chair between him and the door. Her arms are crossed, and she doesn’t look very happy.]
I might as well call this post ‘for Takame’
