Who: Tom and Seiko.
What: Being ~~forced~~ asked to go for a walk.
Where: BEACH
When: Few days into beach, around sunset.
Why: To go for a perfectly innocent walk.

Seiko wandered down one of the many corridors in the Satou beach house, she'd had to ask Kanaye for directions, he'd given her a very strange grin when she'd told him why she wanted to know where Tom's room was, but she put that to the back of her mind.

After all she was only coming to ask Tom out for a walk because she was fairly sure he'd try to avoid going out, and the sunsets here were truly amazing. Besides he was her friend, and it was important to show your friends you wanted to see them. Hopefully she wouldn't interrupt something,but he hadn't been annoyed by her turning up yet.

Finally reaching the door she gave two confident knocks and fiddled absentmindedly with the edge of her shorts, though she suspected 'hotpants' were a little closer to a proper description. She'd never forgive her mother for repacking her bags...

"Tom! Its Seiko!" she called as an afterthought.

Tom shook his head as he unwrapped Max's leash from his legs.

"It's fine Seiko. He can get kind of out of control sometimes. As long as you aren't hurt that's what's important." Once he had untangled himself from the puppy, he took a step forward and stood next to Seiko. He too, looked out over the water for a second. He tried not to let his mind drift, when it drifted it back to...
He shook his head and looked at the blonde next to him.

"So... what now?"

"No I'm not hurt." Seiko said, her normal tone returning and giving Tom a smile at his concern for her wellbeing.

She blinked at his question and tilted her head, he was bored? Or maybe he really just had no idea what to say. She shivered in the cold as the sun had almost set, only wearing the tiny clothes her mother had packed.

"I guess we better get back in." she replied finally folding her arms in an attempt to keep the cold out.

Tom nodded without saying a word. The trip had been her idea after all. When she shivered, and crossed her arms though, he let the black shirt slide off his shoulders, switching the leash from hand to hand.

He draped the shirt over Seiko's shoulders, letting it hang so her upper arms were covered from the wind. This left him shirtless, and made the scar that ran symmetrically down his chest and back a good deal more visible.

"Thank you."

Seiko smiled as he put his shirt on her shoulders, usually she'd object, but it really was beginning to get cold and she appreciated something to keep the chill off. Though it did feel a bit strange to be essentially 'wearing' some of Tom's clothing, that he'd just taken off. She was distracted from this train of thought however when she noticed the scar...

Seiko stared for a moment, she had noticed it before, but she hadn't really thought about it, she'd tried not to. After all the only other person she knew who had such prominent scars was her Father, and his had been made when he had nearly died, and Tom's...Well the similarity was unnerving.

"Um, you know..." She moved closer to talk to him. "I think it was brave, that you protected us, and that... I know I said it before..." she looked down at the scar.

"Its just to me, it really does show you are brave. You haven't even acted differently since..." she smiled slightly tilting her head. "And um, aren't you going to be cold?"

Tom looked down at the injury, and reached a hand up to run his finger along it.

"It was worthless. I didn't die to protect anyone, or to stop the shadow. I didn't survive a strong assault like Kondo-chan or Ishinomori-san. I just... died." He looked down for a second, then shrugged. He shook his head though to clear away any lingering signs of irritation.

"It doesn't matter. It happened, and all I can do is be stronger next time."

Seiko moved in front of him, her smile dropped and a concerned look in her eyes.

"But you are being strong now." she said quietly, "I mean... you are dealing with it afterwards, moving on. Some people would have broken down or refused to fight again. You haven't you've kept going."

she didn't want to try to repeat how she thought even at the time he was brave, she had told him that before, and she didn't want to upset him. But it was difficult to not compare it to how her father had been, he'd been brave, but he'd been alone, her mother had left him pretty much as soon as she found out he'd be permanently scarred, and Seiko really had been too young to be much support.

Seiko pulled the shirt a little closer round her shoulders, she knew Tom had friends who were there to help him deal with things, but it worried her, that he'd be on his own.

"I mean thats just what I think." she added finally, "But personally, I do think you were...you are being brave."
