[Video] His Heart is Drifting Too

[candyconsumption]

Who: Uchiha Itachi
Broadcast: Video, Fleetwide
Action: SS Paisley, Common Area
When: A bit past midnight on August 7th

[ He's currently in his little office, sitting at the desk. He's got the video on--he doesn't look amused. ]

...Would someone care to explain this? [ He turns his device so that the camera is facing his desk. Piled on it are boxes and boxes and small pocket-packets of tissue paper, all brightly wrapped in neon blue with yellow lettering: MADAME CYCLOPS ISSUE TISSUES. ] ...Because I don't find it funny in the least bit.

If someone thinks this will cheer me up... [ He trails off, unable to finish the sentence. Instead, a foot is seen gently nudging some of the tissues away and to the side of the desk.]

...I was right the first time. This is hell.

[ He glances up when he hears the knock. Itachi carefully tucks some of his hair out of his face, moving a few boxes of tissues off to the side. ]

Absolutely. Please. Come in.

Thanks. [He manages a faint smile as he heads in, setting down a mug on Itachi's desk.]

How're you holding up? I know I haven't said much since we first met.

[ He looks down at the mug; his eyes take in the tea inside, and a nagging reaction, something he can't kill, checks with all the senses he can manage for poison. But this is not his world--this is another place entirely, where he doesn't have to worry about his life being at risk every waking moment. He drags the cup along the table and to him. ] Thank you.

...As for holding up, I'm... going. It's very different here.

No problem.

[Stefan sits down on a nearby couch (or chair, whichever's closer) and nods in agreement. On his end, it's a gesture of goodwill - tea makes him feel better, ergo, it'll make the rest of the crew feel better.]

I wish I could argue with you there, but yeah. It's nothing like my home either.

[candyconsumption]

[ He gently cups the tea in his hand. He hasn't taken a sip yet, but. He's getting there. ]

...So these tissues... [ What the heck. ] What... are they?

[stefanged]

[Headtilt. Stefan peers at the packaging for a couple of seconds...]

Looks like a sponsor drop. If you're popular enough, random companies'll send you presents. Unless you're asking why tissues, in which case.... I've got no idea.

[candyconsumption]

I have an inkling. [ He takes a drink of the tea--very good. ] ...Though I'm surprised I received one so soon. I only arrived here last month.

[stefanged]

["Because Sasuke left?" Stefan hopes that's not the real answer.]

It just means you made a good impression. [He sets his tea aside so that he can better look at them.] Also, considering your augment? It's oddly fitting.
