{ 397 } audio ♦ closed action
audio;
[While he's not worse for wear, Zero can't be bothered with a video right now. He'd much rather keep his eyes closed. If he sounds tired, it's because he is.]

. . .Is it really only day 397?

[He slept right through the morning announcement. Despite clearly remembering just the day before, it also feels like much longer than a day has passed. More like twenty years, with all the memories that that much time can contain.]

closed action to house-mates;
[At some point Zero makes his way to the kitchen to make the strongest cup of coffee he can. And to seek out painkillers if possible, since his head is killing him. ~~If a house of vampires would even need them around?~~ Feel free to find him amid this.

. . .Granted, at some point he'll be back in his bed, bundled up in blankets.]

[OOC: Zero has been canon updated! And as mentioned, by a whole 20 years. ~~Making him 39y/o, now. :')~~ ]

	[Reaching out, she gently brushes her finger tips against his head.] I'll find you something. Lets keep the lights off and rest your head in the meantime. I can give you a head massage when I get back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm. [For one reason or another, it feels like it's been so long since she's pet his hair. Even though it ultimately hasn't.] That sounds good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Pushing back up from the bed she rises.] Rest then. I'll be back, okay?

[Moving outside the room, she has to genuinely look around the house for something that might help. She isn't really finding coffee... though they have plenty of tea. Maybe that will help? A painkiller though...

At least it shouldn't take too long if she picks some up at the convenience store. She moves quick, able to take advantage of her speed as a vampire. So by the time she is back, tea made, a glass of water in her other hand, while holding a small bottle of pain meds, she finally knocks lightly before entering.]

Zero...? [Has he fallen asleep once more?]

[He's feeling too miserable to even bother being impatient for something, anything that would take the edge off. Despite how she ultimately takes very little time, he's already re-positioned himself in bed.

He can hear her return, for once actually cursing having heightened senses.

He's still just awake enough to respond to her, albeit just a quiet sound. Slowly, then, he manages to sit up enough to be able to take the water, first.]

	It's rare to see you like this. [For a vampire to get a headache at all. Taking a seat beside him, she takes the glass back once he's done, and carefully sets it down upon his bedside table.] I'm sorry you're feeling so miserable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He lets out a heavy sigh.] . . .Probably since I've really never had a headache before. Nothing even close to this, at least. [Don't let him down the pills like he used to with blood tablets, Yuuki. He leans back against the pile of pillows.] It's fine. It'll pass. Just like it did for you.

	Do you want your tea right now? [It might be easier to rest, though. Doing what she can to not jostle the bed too much, she climbs up.] Would it feel better to rest your head in my lap? I can massage your head, and add a little warmth if you thing it will help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	instrumented 2016-10-14 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	The latter would probably work better. [He smiles a little. There's no way that he could pass something like it up in the first place. How funny, though, since to him, he had her resting in his lap not too long ago. He just needs to be around her. He shifts a bit, then, so she can settle herself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-10-14 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	[Somehow she's not surprised with the option he went with. A smile playing across her lips, she settles into place. Once his head rests within her lap, she carefully finds his temples and softly begins to kneed.] Tell me if it ever feels uncomfortable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[From the start he practically melts into the touch, his eyes closing.] I doubt that's even possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-10-14 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	You never know. [But she's certainly not trying to hurt him. Rotating between gently stroking and then massaging his head and temples, her fingertips radiate a gentle warmth, meant to relax.] When you feel better, you'll have to tell me what you like of the future you now come from.

	Mm. [There's a number of things he already could say. Although she might be able to guess them easily enough. Not that everything from what she recently remembers has been resolved at all. He still speaks quietly for now.] I'm now from the same time as Ai is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-10-15 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	[Her hands pause and she blinks down at him...] So old... [Not that he looks a day older than she remembers him from the last. But that is still a ways away for her.] Are you dazzled by how cute she is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	instrumented 2016-10-15 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Hardly. [No; he does feel old. A little.] She's certainly come into her own. [So yes, plenty cute. He then teases, his tone sarcastic (not that the statement is false; )] She's quite like her mother, though, too. So tenacious and outspoken. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-10-15 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	[While she hasn't been able to meet this adult Ai back home, she's certainly been able to see what he means here.] That's certainly a compliment. That child is incredibly honest while being brave and independent all on her own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[But would she say that if she knew about Ai's introduction to society. . .? Although he felt for her. It had been too much.]

You two are very close, but I'm sure that isn't a surprise to you. You'd often spend time just brushing her hair.

[Yuuki also already knows that Ai is far more skilled when it comes to academics than she is.

What she doesn't need to know is how much more she struggled with things dealing with Kuran.]

She's pretty attached to me, too, but I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. More so when she was younger.

I think that is a family trait... [Her mother used to play with her hair endlessly. And she can remember Zero tolerantly allowing her to mess with his hair in the past, too. Not to mention Kaname himself.]

Ai's hair is like her father's though. As well as mother. She has curlier hair than I do. Somewhere along the way, mine just wound up flat.

[Although she doesn't dislike her hair or anything.]

Ai is attached to you. I can tell, even with her adult self here. She has a great deal of adoration for you.

It is, isn't it. [He's never really thought about it before.] Both look nice.

Ichiru, Ren, and I all have hair like my father. Mother's was a sandy blonde color. She almost always had it tied back in some way.

[He did copy the ear piercings she had, though.]

I'm glad I was able to help to raise her.

[Although for some time Ai's feelings had been more complicated. He could tell very well enough. Sometimes it was hard to see her go through it all, honestly.]

She would always insist that I was her father, too, even though I would always insist that her real one was encased in ice.
