I was just kidding before! I didn't expect REAL prehistoric animals to start showing up! A-Ahem...

*There was some muttering before he spoke up into the walkie-talkie properly*

Is there a place where more people are gathering together to try and keep safe in bigger numbers? If so, I'd appreciate some general directions there because I just spent several hours getting out of a tree and down a small cliff to try and keep out of reach and another two getting back up when things decided I still smelled like prey.

Given that this is supposedly a dream world, this will let up and change eventually right? Dreams, even nightmares... they don't go on forever...

Right?

You know me; I'm very evasive! I've run into a few things here or there that just aren't worth talking about.

*Looked around a bit, spotting a large patch of moss off in the shade. He made his way over and yaaawned, lying down on top of it. It was a teeny bit cooler than in the sun and at least it was nice and soft.*

*Shouichi made a quick transmission to Canas to let him know he'd found his companion before he wandered over and sat down nearby. He took a long deep breath and went back to fanning himself with one hand, leaning back onto the other. He hadn't felt at ease in Byakuran's presence in a long time, but he did right now. It was probably because of the last couple days, he mused. This was peaceful in comparison. Though he couldn't help worrying about the Vongola out there either. He hoped Gokudera had managed to contact and find the others... He frowned at himself and shook the thought from mind right now, glancing over to Byakuran instead*

Are you going to sleep?

I'm considering it. The heat makes me sleepy... and the lack of sugar. Well. Empty calories. It puts me in a terrible mood. I thought I might stave it off with a little nap.

*Suddenly, lilac eyes focused on Shouichi, a sharp glint to them. His lips twisted into one of those sinister smiles as he quipped,*

Promise not to beat me with my own stick and steal my things if I fall asleep?

Wh-What?!

Of course I wouldn't do that!

*That look had sent an icy chill down his spine, but he tried to not let on despite the small shiver*

Go ahead and sleep, it may be good for us to do so in shifts if possible anyway.

Besides, I know how you get without dessert. Please, sleep.

Okay~

*A slight pause and then a far less scary smile!*

...I know you wouldn't. It's just that bad mood I was talking about starting to settle in already.

*With a yaaaawn, he relaxed there on his back, letting his eyes slip shut. Even with what he knew about the situation, what he did to him.. he knew Shouichi wasn't that dastardly. Well, probably.*

*Well that sense of peace and ease was gone, that was for sure. Where had THAT come from? Did he know or was this just Byakuran's usual messing with him for no real reason but to get a reaction?

That was the likely answer, but...

Either way... He would still not do it that way. At least he wanted to believe that. He certainly wouldn't here and now. He was sure of that much and that at least kept the lump in his throat from getting even harder to swallow*

I'll keep look out.

*It looked like he'd be getting more time to think to himself. Joy... He was starting to really miss his headphones and masses of music. He really really was.*

Yes, we will continue along this trajectory. Do feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.

...Oh! My name is Canas.

You're lucky that this got true. The lines have been unreliable as of late.

[He lets out a sound that's almost a sigh.] Unfortunately no, we haven't.

If you head to where the lake is, I've been burning back a lot of the plants and I don't mind keeping an eye out for you.

*Byakuran napped for just over an hour before he shifted and sat up with a yaaaaawn. Mm. It was too warm. Thus, he took his shirt off again and tossed it over by his jacket, crawling over to see if there was any food left - Shouichi would have been welcome to help himself to the other oranges and bananas he'd found.*

Ahhhh, it's hard to sleep! It reminds me of that week the air conditioning broke in our dorm building. You were so miserable~

Even if the heat isn't so bad, it does get a little tiring. I wouldn't mind just a small reprieve. We should play that game of Choice, though. It'll pass time!

Canas... Alright. I'll be in touch again either way to let you know.

...Thank you. Ah, my name is Shouichi by the way.

I've noticed a lot of static from some. I'm betting the range of these devices is to blame.

... I'm sorry to hear you haven't found them. I hope you do or hear from them soon...

What's their name? I'll keep an ear and eye open for them as well. Just in case.

I actually found my acquaintance and should be ok. Thanks though.

Uh be careful with attracting attention from all that burning.

*Shouichi glanced over from where he was staring off into space, fingers paused from their drumming out a beat. He had eaten one of the bananas left there, but hadn't touched much else.* Too warm is an understatement though what's making this worse is the humidity. Ugh. I hated that week, but this one tops it. A lot.

*He frowned and fanned himself a little as Byakuran continued... He really had been hoping he'd forgotten about that. At least he hadn't heard or seen anything particularly large in the area for the last hour...*

You sure it's a good idea to split up at this point?

Mmm... I know I'll be fine. Scaredy Shou-chan is the one with the problem. If you can plead your case adequately, I may decide that Choice is possibly, maybe, perhaps not the best thing to do right now.

You have thirty seconds!

*So Byakuran sat back then, grabbed a banana and peeled it. Consider the banana his time bar. He needed to convince him by the time he finished his snack! Go go go!*

*About 10 different reasons came to mind just off the top of his head, about 2/3rds of which had large teeth, but he waited a moment, considering. Byakuran wouldn't buy those reasons alone, the possibility of danger not high on his list of priorities. Also... he had already agreed once.

He sighed before answering, arms crossed over his chest. Byakuran was not even quite halfway through the banana*

... I already agreed. But if something tries to eat me, I'm reserving the right to call a pause or truce or something.

*Byakuran was silent while he devoured the rest of his banana. Once he finished and tossed his peel aside, he focused his gaze on Shouichi as he smiled.*

All right. I accept your conditions. Now... we need to figure out a prize. We should each get something if we win, shouldn't we? Now. What would you like your prize to be, Shou-chan? It can be anything! Don't hold back!

That's good then, hopefully you'll manage to stay safe until all of this is over.

The burning has kept some of them away; it's pretty hard for these things to attack someone made of fire.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is. The video function hasn't beem working too well either.

That will be helpful. His name is Soul, and if you do see him please tell that his meister has been throwing a fit since his disappearance.

Very well. It is nice to meet you, Shouichi, though the circumstances could certainly be better.

Do contact me if you have any problems.

*He paused in thought. If he recalled correctly the last time they'd played Choice, he'd won and Byakuran owed him still. So he couldn't just ask for him to owe him a favor this time either... Hmmmm...*

If I win... *Green eyes met lavender, unwavering* I want to know about those scars. The truth.

M-Made of fire? Are you speaking literally?

I definitely will. Thanks.

(( OOC: And he totally would be contacting him again within a short amount of time to let Canas know he found Byakuran and would be alright. Also to wish him well and to be safe too. ))

Of course. That's what happens if you eat the Mera Mera no Mi.

*Byakuran's eyebrows quirked up the slightest bit, a little surprised that of all things, that's what Shouichi wanted.*

It's a deal. If I win... then I want to know your deepest, darkest secret!

*He grinned, trying to make it seem like a very childish and innocent request, going so far as to bounce on his heels in excitement.*
