[ Mono was feeling more than a little anxious at the moment. He’d even slipped his bag on today because it just felt... more secure. No one can see that he’s scared, right? Because With all the talk of what was going on in the city right now... It was a bit scary.

Especially since he couldn’t find one of his favourite people. He had something important to tell Illyana, but she wasn’t anywhere to be found!

Forgive the constant hiss of static and the crackles. He can’t help that. ]

Um... Has anyone seen Illyana? I got something to tell her and I can’t find her anywhere.

[ Listen, even the child knows that maybe it’s not that weird considering she could teleport... But it’s been a few days, and... ]

And I know she could just be back in her Limbo place, but I think this is hers??

[ Why yes, after disappearing from the video feed for a moment, Mono returned holding Illyana’s soul sword. ]

It’s kinda weird that it’s not with her, right? I kinda stumbled on it? I dunno where it came from since she's not around.

[ So, yes, the kid is worried. As many know, Mono is quite attached to the woman and her imp companions. ]

I’m gonna keep looking, but if anyone knows where she is, can you tell me?

... Thanks.

[ The feed cuts abruptly. Mono isn’t really good at these things. ]

[Turning back to Mono as he had his sword in his hand, he set it down and off to the side before looking back at the boy with a smile.]

It's a drink that Lauri-Ell introduced me to. It's a sweet tasting drink and I'd never heard of it before she mentioned it, but it's plentiful in the market place. So try some, and if you don't like it, it's okay.

[And then Yuki turned back to secure his sword.]

[ It was sweet? Mono’s head tilted with a rather eager curiosity. Even from under the bag, it was radiating off of him in waves. The kid had a hell of a sweet tooth… ]

That sounds good, I’ll try it then!

[ He commented, before letting his friend get back to gathering his things. He hadn’t known that Yuki had a sword too. It seemed like a lot of people in this world did. Made him wish he could find something he could use, other than borrowing things around the city. ]

Okay!

[Yuki was still adjusting his sword and had placed it above his bed where he could easily get it if needed. He wished he had sensei's conviction or Jacob's determination. But he just wanted to keep Mono safe as well as any other innocents, such as the night the beast had raged and took Jacob and Caelan's lives.

He couldn't let anything happen to Mono or Jacob. He believed Nida sensei would be fine as long as he stuck to Mister Ignis' side so he wasn't a concern, nor was Lauri-Ell. But he shook off the memories and walked into Mono helping himself to the horchata. And all he could do was smile.

This boy was definitely worth protecting.]

Do you like it?

[ Mono ended up getting pretty absorbed in the snack and trying this new drink while Yuki was getting his things together for their search. Munching away, he looked up a minute or two later expectantly as he wondered if Yuki was ready to go. The kid was enjoying getting to try new stuff, and company helped, but Mono couldn’t quite shake the worry he was feeling.

Still, he managed a brighter tone at the question. ]

Yeah, it’s actually pretty good!

[ And he’d never had anything like it before, which was pretty exciting. Every time he thought he had tried all the new stuff he could possibly find, there was something new! ]

Good.

[Yuki was now ready with his gear, and had done a change of clothes too. But he didn't try and draw attention to it and went to the cupboard to grab himself a glass. Pouring some of the horchata into it, he took a sip and smiled.]

This stuff is really good.

[ Mono tilted his head curiously. ] Wow, you look all official for stuff!

[ Because, really, the kid hadn’t expected Yuki to change as well as get a sword. The boy had a lot to learn. ]

Yeah, it’s got a funny name, but it’s really tasty stuff. Thanks for letting me try a new thing, Yuki, and the sandwiches were good too.

[His face turned slightly red at hearing Mono's assessment. But fortunately the boy changed the topic.]

I'm glad you ate. But I do have money in case anything's open and we get hungry on the way, so just let me know.

[Anything to avoid his clothes as a topic.]

Yeah? Thanks, Yuki, searching around might make us hungry again.

[ Mono was easy enough to distract, after all. So he seemed pretty keen to get out and start looking around. The boy was pretty sure the sandwiches would keep him full for a while at least. ]

Right.

[There was a smile for Mono's sake although Yuki himself still wondered how tough things would actually get. But he had faith in the lessons he'd received from Shishou back home and from Nida sensei here. Saying nothing, he turned to look at Mono now.]

Are you ready to head out then?

Yeah, I’m all ready if you are!

[ The boy hadn’t really considered needing anything in his searching since he didn’t really have anything to get to take with him. Illyana’s sword was hidden away safely and now all the child wanted was to find his friend. So he gave Yuki a determined nod in response to the question. ]

( ooc: Wanna ftb/hand wave them walking around looking? )
