Shiawase glances around. ". . .maybe staying visible made them too tired? They usually don't push themselves for so long. . ."

Hitari is just getting past the house when he collapses on his next step. Good thing there's no rocks right there. Well, no sharp rocks.

Shiawase stands up and stares at him. "Hitari. . .? Did he trip?" She takes a few steps toward him, her concern growing as he remains motionless.

You've got to be kidding, Itami thinks as he stands near Hitari. . . .the little prick actually made a choice.

(hahahahahaha I don't know why this scene is so entertaining to me..... Myst is such a chaos god XD)
Rin watches, clenching his fists nervously.

Hitari's hand twitches and he lifts his head a little, appearing to struggle. He drops back down and coughs quietly.

Shiawase glances back at you, then back at Hitari. "Do. . .do you think he's okay?"

Rin doesn't reply. He's watching Hitari and Itami fearfully.

Itami prods at Hitari with a foot. Wow, he's actually pretty out. Comes with the inexperience, I guess.

Shiawase looks confused and mad. "What do you mean? What did you do to Hitari?"

Well, I was going to get the rest of the answer for your question, Itami mutters. But I guess I'm getting a little predictable.

. . .I'm. . .why am I so tired. . .? Kanashimi thinks to themselves. This. . .doing this has never made me so. . .exhausted. . . They try to open their (Hitari's?) eyes, but don't have the energy to as they start drifting back into unconsciousness.

Predictable? Hardly, Rin scoffs to himself. Itami's about as predictable as a drunken cat on a winter morning.

(why. . .why does that make sense xD)

Itami leans down and grabs Hitari by the shoulders, dragging him up effortlessly and leaning him against the wall in a sitting position.

He pokes him roughly. Wake up, or I will create a bomb so big that half of this place evaporates.

No response.

Itami nods. Yeah, he's. . .out cold. Heh, nice.

(...yup XD)
Rin gulps a little at Itami's threat, but it doesn't SEEM like he's in any immediate danger.

Itami takes Hitari by the hair and knocks his head on the wall, firmly, a couple of times. Ding dong, time to get up! He laughs to himself, clearly having a bit of fun.

Hitari's eyes crack open a little, glazed.

Oh, wow. You're actually conscious, Itami says, letting go. Faster than I expected.

Kanashimi, dazed, wonders what they're feeling at the back of their head, then realizes. I. . .forgot, they think to themselves. I forgot. . .how pain felt.

Slowly, they look around, their (Hitari's?) breathing hoarse.

"Are you okay?" Rin says quickly, not sure if Kanashimi/Hitari/whoever's in there is able to answer.
