7/16: Souji
[ Did you know, miso comes in a package and doesn't have to be made from scratch? Although he would like to be able to do it, it's more important to him today that the soup tastes good, instant miso soup that's poured into two separate thermoses that Natsuo carries in either hand as he goes to find Souji. ]
Souji... Can you get to the tower okay? It's indoors, but there's windows there so it'll still be nice.
[ If the stairs won't kill him, maybe a room filled with feathers... Nah, he'll be fine, maybe. It's not raining this week, and Natsuo stands by fresh air and sunshine being a cure-all. ]

There are books about people's hands? That sounds kinda boring too, unless it's like what Eichi does with fingernails.
no subject
It's not quite like that. [Fortunately he knows exactly what Natsuo is talking about, since that's how Eichi caught his ass out on his tuberculosis, GOD.] But you can read the lines on someone's palm to look into their future. Things like whether or not they'll have a successful marriage or if they'll come into money soon.
no subject
He's always distrusted magic, but in times like these, he's a little more willing to give it a try. ]
I want to try it! Let's try it! I can go and get the books and we can read them here!
[ if he can find them ]
no subject
I also remember a bit from when I read them earlier. [Back when he was dying of a cold and tb at the same time.] I could see if I can read yours, if you'd like?
no subject
I want to know! Read mine!
[ Soft girly hands... although his knuckles are rough and some of them scabbed over. ]
no subject
Souji will take them gently into his own though, after setting his thermos off to the side. His hands are pretty cold and kind of bony, but it's fine, he's fine.]
Alright, let's see... What do you want me to look at first? Love life? Career?
no subject
Nah, I don't care about that sorta stuff! Look for happiness! If I'll have lots of friends! When I'll be able to see them all again, stuff like that!
[ He can count the number of friends he has back home on one hand, but surely there's more in his future!! assuming there's a future and he isn't stuck in castle hell forever. ]
no subject
There's also no good way of saying "there aren't friendship and happiness lines you fool", so he'll just. Wing things. Make his own interpretations. It's fine!! That's what interpretation is about, right??]
Alright then, let's see your right hand first... [He'll just use the love line. Love and friendship are basically the same thing, right?? Anyway, tracing over the front part of the line first.] It starts off a little weak, and there are a few breaks here... Some fights, maybe? A change in relationship?
no subject
Fights and changing relationships aren't promising things, but Natsuo's face lights up anyways. ]
Awesome! That's the easiest way to make friends- fight someone and when you win, you become comrades!
[ beat 'em up and force people into friendship, that's the way of the world ]
no subject
Is that how you make friends?
[It explains a lot, honestly. ANYWAY, he'll continue tracing a path over the line--]
This part here makes it seem like you're going to have a close circle of friends at some point. Ah, and there aren't so many breaks later on, so maybe that's a sign that your friendships will get stronger?
no subject
But he settles down to listen as the explanation continues, mind going to his friends back home before they do his friends here. Both of them... were really rocky friendships, rife with arguments and betrayal, but they all got closer to each other in the end— it's more probably that it's the strongest ones that win out, and that's how a close circle comes to be. ]
Heh... It sounds like a "past" line more than a "future" one. I hope I can make more friends like that- ones that'll stick with me no matter what, that'll trust me no matter what.
no subject
Ah, maybe I read the line backwards, then? Or maybe that really is what's in store for you.
[Even if palmistry is just hocus pocus, he does hope for only the best concerning Natsuo and whatever waits for him.]
no subject
Hehe~ Maybe it's front and back! Can you read your own palm? I want to know about all your friends too! I only got to talk to Yasusada a little bit, after all.
[ Good news is that they'll have time for it later, now ]
no subject
I could just tell you about my friends if you wanted to know about them, you know?
[No magic palmistry involved.]
no subject
[ It'll be more reliable than palmistry, too, hearing it in Souji's own words who he likes, what he likes about them, some of Natsuo's favorite things to hear about. ]
no subject
Let's see... From my home, there's Tetsu-kun! I think you'd get along with him very well. He's stands up to about here on me- [Gesturing to somewhere near his shoulders.] -but when I first met him, he was so small and cute! He's still cute, actually - and incredibly determined. If there's anyone who can figure out how to get things done through willpower alone, it would be him.
[He's like an angrier, even louder Natsuo...]
Harada-san, Nagakura-san and Toudou-kun are people you would probably get along with well, too. They're all so loud and full of energy that they can bring a whole building to life just by being there. Whenever they're all away on missions together, everything is far too quiet. Saitou-san is serious, but he's the type to make jokes with a straight face, you know? Once you understand that, his company is very enjoyable. And Hijikata-san... [...] Well, I've already talked about him so much that I'm sure he's getting goosebumps in on the Other Side.
no subject
They all sound like a lot of fun... You guys are all a team, right? Did you all live together? Did you have a secret clubhouse? Saizo lived with you guys too?
no subject
We are, yes. We belong to the Shinsengumi and we're currently staying at Nishihonganji. [So like a big ol' temple and not a secret clubhouse but CLOSE ENOUGH. Anyway, more importantly:] Saizo does stay with us! He runs around outside a lot, but he spends plenty of time in my room, too.
