( sometime after napping, keeping himself quiet: )

Lethe. May I bend your ear?

[Your Name is trying an astral projection, but will he pick up?]

[ ring ring, it's a cube.

is he going to pick up, we just don't know. ]

"Herd mentality" is why you became a part of Lily.

[ good morning, she's lounging and sipping wine already. ]

Lethe! Lethe!!

( soft whispering from percicube, taken near the afternoon when he's out. )

Gods - pick up! I need your help!

[cubecalls, utterly calm]

Lethe, if I die and my body is obliterated within the next week, there is sufficient blood in the cafeteria freezer to grow a new one. Thank you.

_{[ an angelcube appears, suddenly, and spends precisely five seconds just floating beside Lethe saying nothing.

Then it disappears. ]}

[ A few hours after this

RINGRING ]

[RING RING]

Can I come over?

[Lethe dreams of being in the dark. of stars burning overhead and all around; bright and vitally violent fire. no tree in sight, no bird. but the night sky is -- so very, very alive, nonetheless.

he could stay up here and chase the stars, he senses. or he could descend, and see what world they're overlooking.

what does he do?]

Hello! Is this Lethe? This is Shadow Fiend, on Rose!

[he’ll check the common areas, and if not, knock knock on his room door]

[ cube call or in person, your choice ]

Lethe-san? May we speak?

( knock knock )

[ there are so many kids around, gosh. ]

I take it we're not going out into the mist.

[ Sometime during a lull, the kids either napping or in some other competent adult's hands, he's just physically hunting Lethe down whatever he is. He will search as long as necessary.

JAWS THEME ]

( one day after the child-rearing ritual... and everything is back to normal.

mostly.

even during their information meeting, perci had been quiet when lethe had been brought up. he said barely anything, only focusing on how lily might recover in the pasture's public eye.

but he avoids lethe, and he keeps a placid and mild attitude when he can't avoid him. he keeps his hands to himself and rarely meets his eye anymore.

but he has foraged things to wash and dry, and lethe is in the kitchen too, so he just has to finish up here. no easy way out of this. )

You didn't get any embarrassing baby pictures of me, did you?

[ There is a small bundle of wildflowers tied with string and a note that says flowers ]

[ There are several pretty little seashells and a note that says please calm down ]

[ There is a little pile of acorns and shed insect husks and a note that says I'm watching you (in a friend way) ]

[ anonymous delivery of donuts, cookies, yogurt, and soup! ]

[ another anonymous delivery of a bottle of alcohol, hmm. if he tries it, it tastes like rice wine! ]
