[ There was a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach when he stopped by Princess Euphemia's apartment this morning only to find that she wasn't there. There was no reason for Euphemia to spend every waking second with Suzaku, however, especially when he had a bad tendency to run off on every available mission that the Initiative cooked up. At the same time while there were no missions going on Suzaku preferred to spend his time beside the princess and making sure she was safe.

It hasn't taken him long before he started searching the city for her. The longer the day drags on, the worse the gnawing worrying feeling in the pit of his stomach become and the more desperate he starts to feel.

He's soaking wet as he darts around the streets looking for any flash of pink he can get, and every now and then stopping to talk to people-- ]

Excuse me, have you seen a girl about my age with long pink hair pass through here?

Threaded | Flat

[Kallen's walking along one of those streets, umbrella overhead in one hand, and a bag of groceries in the other. The running figure amongst the lull and lethargy of the others surrounding her catches her eye, and when she hears the question-- or at least what she thinks she hears-- her grip on the umbrella's handle tightens as she grits her teeth.

She's well aware there are numerous ways to handle this, a good number of which include her not dealing with it at all. Unfortunately, she's been in this position a number of times before, and she's been thankful for those who have been there for her, whether they would have been her first choice of comfort or not. Turning her back on another in that situation doesn't sit well with her at all.

Before she can stop herself, the pilot is crossing the road, footsteps splashing in the shallow puddles that litter the street. Kallen calls out to the frantic looking young man, hoping to get his attention before he runs up to another unsuspecting civilian.]

Suzaku!

Suzaku?

[ At first she believes herself to be seeing things. It wasn't like him to run around in the rain in that kind of manner, was it? No, maybe it was. After all they've been through, Suzaku in the rain looking for someone isn't all that unfamiliar of a scene.

She's definitely a bit of pink in the gloom, but nothing compared to Euphemia. Only clothing less regal than the outfit she showed up in to fit in with the crowd a little easier. Having gone out only to greet newcomers, she tucks away the idea of visiting with them in favor of a friend who is in need. ]

What's the matter?

[ Kaede notices Suzaku up ahead as she walks down the street, her earphones filling her head with music. She debates saying hi to him, but his panicked look has her turning her smile into a frown.

She slips her earphones out of her ears and into the pocket of her hoodie as the distance closes between them, angling her umbrella so it doesn't hit him in the head. ]

Suzaku? Is everything okay?

No. [ her answer is obvious, really. but given the distress suzaku's broadcasting, this really isn't the time for any dry humor, so she regrets it a little afterward.

she had been out for a walk when he came past, and she feels a certain frantic feeling that he's trying not to give in to. she decides it's for the best if she's a good roommate and tries to help. ]

But I can look in ways you may not be able, if you'd like. Why don't you tell me about her.
